I have never seen the point in setting up a fixed RAM drive.
The amiga natively supported a variable sized RAMdrive which was always 'full' but as long as physical memory was available still had space.
Back then, in the days when ram was still $50/Mb, and HDs were just breaking the 1Gb range, I was still stuck in 386sx land with 8Mb of DIPs and a 60Mb MFM drive. To make things bearable, I installed Slackware Linux (my first Linux system!), which gave me 10Mb free, and loaded 10x faster than windoze 3.11 or 95 (not to mention I could actually run stuff on it). To load Netscape in X took about 6minutes still, so to speed things along and give me a bit more drive space, I tgz'd it and created a ramdrive that it was uncompressed to on boot. Load time for netscape reduced significantly, and became actually useable... until I attempted to install a 387 to the board, which only had solderpoints, not a socket, and made the magic smoke gods angry at me who then released their fury in a bright blue flash and then freed the smoke in one puff... Drive still works, and the 387 (missing one pin, that created the fash) is now hanging from my rearview mirror.
...The older they are the better, drives from the late 90's seem to have the best ones. Modern desktop drives have pussy magnets.:( Seagate 73 gig fiber channel disks have the best magnets I've ever pulled.
I too am a collector of harddrive magnets, they come in handy for all sorts of things. But as for the older the better... I disagree. The older ones are not made as dense as the newer ones. The magnets from an old old IDE (I think it was) I got were almost like the normal black ferromagnetic crap you can get at the store, not the rare-earth type. Half-height 3.5" drives have crappy thin weak magnets too, no matter how old they are. I do agree about the seagate FC drive though, The ones I pulled from a newer (2004+) seagate cheetah SCSI320 drive were a good 3/4" thick, and strong enough that pulling 2 apart involved using a vice, as it actually ripped the magnetic material from the metal backing plate of one of them. I use a few of these to hold a piece of rubber bedmat against the front wall of my pickup's bed. The older/weaker ones I have to find a ridge in the bed to get them to even hold on, while those seagate ones will stick anywhere and hold it up nicely (1/4" rubber/fiber bedmat, which has bumps on the underside to keep it from laying completely against the bed to allow water to escape). These magnets WILL cause damage if you let fingers/other parts near when they come together.
Other handy uses for such magnets: they have nice holes on the backplate to tie cord/wire to them for use as magnetic retrieval device, superb fridge magnets (hold your whole notebook to the fridge), if one breaks glue a small fragment to a spoke (I used gorilla glue) to replace the big cyclometer magnet for your bike computer, hotglue a few layers of aquarium filter fabric to a pair and use as an aquarium glass cleaner (place one on the outside, one on the inside with the fishes and run it around the glass, good ones can stay together even around the corners).
340A.503 PERSONS UNDER 21; ILLEGAL ACTS.
Subd. 3. Possession. It is unlawful for a person under the age of 21 years to possess any
alcoholic beverage with the intent to consume it at a place other than the household of the person's
parent or guardian...
Here in Georgia, they have been running ads and propaganda about how drinking under 21 is harmful and illegal, including parent's hosting of "drinking parties" for their underage kids. While the laws here are obviously different and still heavily conservative/religiously based (one of 3 states with no sales on Sunday still enforced as a State law, which the governor refuses to repeal (vetoed again last year on the basis that it teaches "time management") ), citing that drinking anytime, any amount before being exactly 21 years old as harmful is ridiculous. Kids will do stupid things, and when I have them, if they want to drink, they will whether I want them to or not. I would rather they do it with supervision of an adult, preferably me. This is about as idiotic as the policy of "stop handing out condoms because it encourages sex" crap. Arresting parents for doing what they are supposed to: monitoring and supervising their kids to keep the stupidity under control, is counter productive.
Its also evidently not a state law as identified here, though they sure make it seem that way.
To re-link this thread back to the article, kids do stupid things, but the control of that stupidity is their parent's responsibility. The school really has no right to dig into the non-school activities unless it poses a threat to the school itself. If, as has been said higher up, these activities were reported to the school, the school's responsibility ends at notifying the parents and possibly local authorities (if legal infractions are severe enough: ie property damage).
If you just want "a job in programming", concentrating on Java will get you that. If you plan to build your career on programming, and do more than simply hold down a job, dig deeper into C, asm and other lower level languages so you can learn how the different logic bits actually affect the system as a whole. Java is so popular because it abstracts alot of the fundamentals and routine stuff such that you can get away with not worrying about it. The problem with it tends to be coders relying too heavily on Java doing the right thing, rather than knowing what their code actually does. Sure, you could get a job doing java, but if you want to really go somewhere and advance in the field, you need to have a firm grasp on reality, ie: Java isnt magic, it is still bound by the system (sry for the matrix-ish quote, but it applies here) and thus what it abstracts, like garbage collection and var management, still affects the system. With a better fundamental knowledge of how such things work, you can better control those effects.
Aside from that, study the different OS platforms as well (Linux, Windoze, Solaris, BSD, etc). Even though Java itself abstracts that for the most part, there are still differences in the way it behaves and the tuneability and availability of certain functions on each. If nothing else, it will help immensely when working with an Ops team or when troubleshooting issues that might be platform dependant, and is good stuff to have on a resume.
I can't imagine that would make any difference. The computer needs to boot somehow, there are legitimate reasons for modifying the boot code (such as installing a new OS, or fixing flaws in it) so you can't just block it wholesale, and any program that runs at the boot stage will necessarily have complete control of your computer. About the best you can do is require the user to confirm before overwriting the MBR - something I thought windows already did (and if it doesn't, there's really no excuse for it not to) - but that's far from foolproof.
I think most modern Bios's have MBR/boot sector virus protection options. Basically you set the option in the BIOS and it either prevents MBR access (through the on-chip IDE controller, duno about off-board cards or scsi devices) or interrupts the system and displays an alert screen (similar to an overheat warning some do). To use it, you turn it off, install your OS with boot loader of choice, then go turn it on. Anything trying to write MBR data gets rejected or notifies you in pretty ASCII colors on screen with beeps. I know its prevented me from installing lilo a couple times.
So I can keep my job as SysAdmin... After all, forensic investigation and digging through logs and monitoring for intrusion and such is basically what a SysAdmin is for (aside from making that part of the job unnecessary or as limited/automated as possible). Imagine all the/.'s that would be able to claim themselves as PIs (though Im sure some already reference 3.14159 alot).
Why not make the password something like a printed number on the router itself? I know it's encoded in firmware, especially with the factory reset button, but it's not too hard to say read the ID and print up corresponding stickers. They already do it for the MAC address information.
That would require either 1. compiling a new firmware for EVERY unit, or 2. storing the password in a separate chip, which increases parts, cost, and everything else. They might be able to bypass the drawbacks of #2 by using the LAN side MAC tho, since that shouldnt be accessible via wifi for most wifi "routers" (tho a simple AP might be.. not as familiar with those), unlike the wifi MAC thats transmitted to all.
... wouldn't temperature still be defined as the average of atomic vibration, in this case the very large atomic vibrations.
My guess would be that absolute hot is when the vibrations reach a point where either the vibrations shake the atoms and protons/neutrons/electrons and maybe even quarks apart (inertial forces greater than the internal forces of the particles/quarks/whatever), or they stop vibrating because the vibrations turned into pure linear motion in the same vector by all particles simultaneously at a velocity of c resulting in infinite volume, much like absolute zero is the lack of vibration, and thus lack of volume. Since absolute 0 is the limit as velocity of vibrations->0, absolute HOT must be limit as velocity of vibrations->Vmax, where max velocity is c.
But then again, IANAP, and this is/., and no I did not RTFA;)

Whenever you replace a part under warranty they take the old one. Not because they have use for it but to make sure you don't. Imagine an unscrupulous person who would call in "My drive is broken" then when the tech replaces the drive, he just turns around and sells the old one (which was fine anyway). ... Right, but if he payed for the new drive, then it was not a warranty replacement, it was a new purchase + install, so the old *dead* part should still be his. Basically, apple is doing what you described, but they are the unscrupulous person in this case, taking your money and the drive, then either getting the warranty $$ from the manufacturer (or more likely credit for another drive), or are simply wiping it and re-using it in the next victim's computer.
I know when I worked in a computer shop, we left the dead parts on top of the computer to give to the user when they came back. Most would just tell us to toss the parts, so we had a big bin full of "dead" stuff, most of which truly was dead. We never kept things unless it actually WAS an issue covered by warranty, and then the customer got the savings passed to them. If this is truly happening, Apple has a nice scam going on.
What we really need is a field of Ringworld sunflowers (and rigorous pollen control). Maybe Monsanto can design some:-)
Yeh... just take your flying platform covered in the superconductor cloth with the superconductor wire attached, hover it over the middle and circle the slaverflower field with the extra line... myabe put it in a trench with some water from the sea to create a nice circular fogbank to keep them from spreading. Then just run the end of the wire into a boiler to power the turbine and not worry about getting the plants to focus on anything else.
When you send something in for repair you are giving the tech the right to look at your things.
When I call AT&T to complain about the noise on my phone line, am I giving them permission to listen to my calls?
Actually, yes, to an extent. They usually will send a field tech to the closest RT to your house and start looping the line from there to find the fault. Generally they will tell you that they are about to do so as not to interrupt any calls, but if you happen to pick up while they test, yeh, they can hear you talk on their butset.
And as for giving the tech the right.... yes, if you actually READ the release form they have you sign to do the actual work on the computer, it generally states that the tech has access to the hardware and files stored on your computer as needed to fix/install/diagnose the problem you bring it in for (ie: they have access to do their job). Installation of a burner will warrant testing the burner, therefore, accessing files to do a test burn. Copying junk data to the client's computer to burn is a big waste of time, so burning random files (usually from folders on the desktop) is how I tested most of the time. The discs were of course verified by the software to see if the burn was successful, and generally a double-check by opening a random file on the disc to make sure it did in fact work.
Having worked as a repair tech for a while, I can say that people are stupid. It would not surprise me if mr kiddiepr0n left the evidence as his background image, or left the files laying out in plain sight with overly descriptive filenames. On more than one occasion I had to jump across the work bench and turn off a monitor when I noticed the screen saver of the customer's computer was like browsing a porn site, and the work-area can be seen from the customer floor.... Lucky for those pr0n freaks, nothing looked suspiciously kiddie like, and I didnt dare dig deeper into the files, so after the repairs, they went on their way.
If the lens on my digital camera breaks, can the repairman view my pictures?
Again, if you hand in something to be repaired, you generally sign a release allowing such activity. How are they to check the repair without looking at a photo taken by the camera? How do they know its not the flash card you installed? Yes, they flip to browse, but how do they know exactly which pic it was they took? They have to go look for it.
You don't need to "find about 4GB of stuff to burn" in order to check a DVD-burner. What's the matter, these techs never heard of any of the dozens of diagnostic programs that fit on a flash drive that will test your burner, your hard drive, and just about everything else on your PC?
Again, doing something special is a waste of time. It also doesnt test the system as it will be when the user gets home. When was the last time you tested a sick of ram in a ram tester, that said it was "OK", only to put it back into the machine and have it fail to boot on the next attempt? Its happened to me plenty of times. Same with burners. You burn data, the burning progy runs its verify check, says ok, opens the door. You close the door, go to open a file to find it completely corrupted. Maybe the software didnt close the disc image properly, or was setup wrong? The verify only verifies that what is on the disc is what it thought it burned. If what it burned was wrong to begin with, that check will pass, but it will continue to burn coasters. To test it so the customer wont come back saying its broke, you have to test it as they would use it: drop in a blank, drag some files to it, let it burn them, see if they burned properly.
to be honest just having porn is probably an invitation for the techs to check out your stash.
I don't even know what to say...

Article reads like a piece of Micro$oft marketing after actually looking at Amazon's numbers. Looks like they are willing to try anything, even outright lying, to get their shiny turd to sell. Sure, Amazon might have shown the Zune at no1, but was that during a stats update before the iPod sales were tallied? Looks like M$ once again trying to create hype: "Oh look! Its selling at No1 and stores are selling out! Better go get one now before you wont be able to get your nephew's xmass gift!!".
The supporting links to it being in short supply in TFA are even broken, leading me to think that stores ordered maybe 2 or 3 knowing how poorly they sell, and once those were gone, have just been ordering per request.
Can powered munitions (stuff with a rocket motivating it instead of just gravity) be fired without this new technology? ie. Is the new research just applicable to iron bombs?
I think most supersonic fighters already have that capability, since the missiles they fire tend to travel much faster than the jets they are chasing down (even the old AIM-9 sidewinder hit mach2.5+), and when launched, are already under power and moving forward in the supersonic flow relative to the aircraft and can thus navigate themselves clear. See Here, scroll to SRAM, and that was 1969.
The challenge with dropping bombs at supersonic speed is to get them to clear the bomb bay or wing pylon without the shock of the surrounding air flow blasting it back into the aircraft or otherwise tossing it about or ripping it apart. Not to mention designing a bomb bay and aircraft that can withstand the supersonic shock when the doors are opened.
Nobody used MySpace. Everyone uses Facebook. Because of that it was easy to move people away from MySpace, but it will not be so easy to move people away from Facebook in the future.
And before either or those, there was Friendster, which everyone abandoned to go to myspace (and before that was Hot or Not, and before that, message boards, and arguably , ICQ, IRC, News Groups, BBSs, etc). Whats so different now? More features? What happens when the next big thing comes out with even more? There will always be The Next Big Thing, until someone comes out with a flexible enough platform that can allow that Thing to be incorporated into it seamlessly, and easily, as well as allow the users themselves to develop that Thing from the ground up. Who knows, maybe its already out there, though I doubt Facebook's API qualifies.
According to SpaceWeather.com, not only did the comet brighten unexpectedly, it "... has no tail, [and] a remarkable golden color...". Unless the geometry of the sun-earth-comet trio is such that the tail is pointing directly away from the earth, you'd think there'd be a massive tail given the million-fold increase in brightness.
More proof that its no comet, but a spaceship firing retro rockets!
There are lots of uses of VoIP that do not use "the Internets" as transport. I used to work for one such telecom provider. Yes, it is VoIP, yes, it travels data lines, no those lines and the VoIP does not go over "the internet" between customers or other endpoints, it either goes directly over the internal private network, or hits a gateway and runs out the pots network: the VoIP of it never leaves the cloud/crosses the edge. This provision just says that services like that cant exempt taxes claiming its "internet access", where other providers providing the same service, but using PRI/CAS/SS7 are taxed. This would apply to cable providers taxing their phone service (VoIP over cable usually), business telecoms running data T1/DSL using VoIP for integrated voice, and possibly Skype/Vonage like services (though the tax would be on the communications service, probably only on the pots connection stuff, not the internet access for the service).
