I prefer to have the fans. My office at home sounds like a server room, with several (10) boxes running and a managed switch. The switch makes all the noise, but I like the noise. I can't sleep with out it. (office and bedroom are right next to each other)
I don't see the big problem with fans and the noise that they make.
Actually, you are wrong. A good friend of mine was a former police officer in Baltimore City, Maryland. There is a Law on the books in Maryland or the City of Balt. that makes it illegal to curse. There are several words that can get you locked up for the night. Yes, It will most likly get thrown out in court. My friend said that he never had locked someone up for it, but he said that sometimes you don't have any legitmate reasons, but the person is causing a large disturbance, that is written law.
I appoligise that I do not have a supporting link to go with this statment, although I will add that my friend would sit in his crusier when he was bored or having a slow night/day and read the law book. The laws that I have heard make this one look reasonable.
I belive that I have done this with Slashdot. I was getting very poor Karma when posting as a earlier name. Some because of posts, most because (I belive) that my lack of consern for spelling and grammer turned most people off, or it made me appear less credable. (sp?)
I have the same views and opinions as before, although my Karma is much higher.
How can kids really learn not to write like that when the majority of their time out of school is spent infront of a computer or a TV, and the majority of their time IN school is spent tring to keep the 5 kids that are disupting the class in order.
Education starts AT home.
I say fail the kids, and CALL the parents!
Don't call the parents to have them reprimand the kids, but to ask what they are doing to help the kids.
When I was in school, my parents looked over everything that I turned in, Period. Yes, I Spent a vast majority of my childhood downloading p0rn (used only because on corp network that screens for the normal word) and speaking with " hey, what r u doing later?" etc. Although if I had ever put that in something that my parents looked over, I would have had to do it over again, not correct it, but start over.
It is 9:30pm, what website is your child browsing?
Look at it this way. While you can not physcally steal network resources, or bandwidth, you are stealing money from the company.
You connect with wireless connection, start up your P2P client, and start whoring the bandwidth. Fine. You are consuming the local network segment bandwidth, and the wireless AP's bandwidth (limited). This can cost money in several ways.
Bandwidth - IIRC is is aprox 1000.00us for sustained 1mbps of traffic per month.
Network bandwidth - Take the cost of the hardware and the precentage of it's capasity you are using and it's lifetime vs your time using it. while very insiginficant, still $$, and increases the COO (cost of ownership)
Employee time- Employee's are not cheep, and if jane hardworker, spends 10 minutes downloading a file vs. 7 minutes 10 times a week because of your usage, that is 30 min of lost time (YES, I know she could be doing something else).
This is how the physcal theft comes in. The money that is spent/wasted/consumed/payroll is/can be CASH. That is physcal, and while it is not in the DIRECT posession of the theif, it is however moved by the theif indirectly.
IANAL but, you get a decent (Any Lawfirm) lawyer for the prosocution of this theft, and the company will prevail.
STFU- It is a server providing a service to YOU. GET A DAMN LIFE. Oh yea, silly non-American's complaining bout everything, if they are not the "primary" on a site that is run by Americans.
So it is running IIS. Great. Maybe because uhm, he is a incompentent American, he doesn't know how to run BSD. Maybe he is running a virtual server..... and paying very low prices for hosting.
Take five min to look at what he/she HAS done, and not what webserver he is hosting with. "it crashes all the time" blah blah blah. You don't like IIS, then because of your disire to see it on another platform, Why don't YOU rewrite the site, and put it on the platform of your choice.
Yes, but there is a cable connecting the Internet connected box to the internet, and there is a cable connecting the private box to the internet connected box, even if it is through 15 different firewalls, and proxies, and hidden behind all sorts of other "secure" crap. If someone wants it that bad, they WILL get through.
Besides, who is going to stop the sysadmin(s) from going on a hellova shopping spree.
You are apparently not dating my girlfriend too. (that is 5 people btw). She is computer illeriate, and so are all of her friends. I mean really really really really computer incompentent.
There are so many people out there that Still don't know that doubleclicking on an attachment is a bad pratice, if you don't know what it is.
Adds are targeted at stupid people. Stupid people don't know how to block ads. stupid people doubleclick on hyperlinks and nav buttons on webpages.
It could very easlly work. Although as many have mentioned earlier, It would most likly work best if the ads were locally targeted. The flower shop next door. The mom/pop pizza place at the corner. Etc.
You said it yourself that you are lazy when it comes to testing, yet you enjoy programming. Why don't you take the time to write your own programs to automate the testing. That would make sence to me. Then instead of not doing your research on Google and asking slashdot for help, you could be posting a article about the new web app testing program you wrote.
uhm... ok, so let's just say that you sit on the network, sniff a few packets, learn the IP ranges and subnets, set your box to a IP and subnet on that range you are are good to go, I know from experance, this is NOT hard to do.
You also avoid the DHCP server getting your MAC. Now if the gateway to the internet is also MAC restricted for say the wireless ip range, then you limited to the local network. I personally find the local network fun. the things that you find on shares...
Sunday, I was watching the history channel and saw a special on 9/11 One year later. It gave details to how all the events played out. Things that happened months later, And while I truly appreciate them only showing the buildings on fire once, It still brought chills over my body, and almost tears to my eyes, as SO many people became only memories on that day.
I remember sitting in my office (computer helpdesk for law firm) and having one of our attorney's from the NY office on the phone with me and she said "did you hear, a plane just hit one of the trade towers". At that point, I didn't honestly believe it. I was in more of a bit of shock then anything else. So as the true geek in me, I message my boss and apparently inform him of it for the first time as well, at the same time open up a web browser to the NYtimes and there it was a picture of the burning building. It still didn't look real as if it was something in a movie. This was about ten minutes after the first plane hit. Our team (helpdesk) was not sure what to do/think- Accident, terrorism/ real/fake ( although we all knew it was real, just hard to believe) shortly after the second plane hit, we were all watching TV at this time ( computer connections to the websites were well Slow) we all saw the second plane, and (hard to type) [ devastation ].
We then shortly heard there after about the Pentigon and it was really hitting close to home as the office is about 3 to 4 miles from it. There was an office staff meeting, and it was still not apparent as to just HOW serious this was. There was a Muslim guy in there, and jokingly said "I promise, I have nothing to do with it"
America under attack.
Finally the towers collapsed, and I have seen that video so many times, I honestly wish to NEVER see it again, it is awful to believe and imagine that SO Many good people died on that day. My thoughts and prayers out to the not just the victims, or their families and friends, but to the entire world, because on that day as the entire world was affected, Not just the USA.
What was the point of this post, It started because of the drive with your lights on, on 9/11 thread. Maybe I just want to remember all those that lost their lives on that day, and to those that lost loved ones on that day. No comments or words will ever bring that loved one back, but you can always cherish their memories and remember the good times with them.
bleh. I am not worth that much money.. I can say things like that, I also was not very clear in my post. GIVE ME A BREAK.
It was sposed to read: 360GIG's now... as in currently, is more then anyone needs on a consumer level (those that use their computer for video editing, and "backing up their music CD collection NON compressed format- Are not your average consumer. They are an advanced user that knows what they are doing and talking about.
I am surrounded by incompentence all day long (work at a law firm) and they don't know what to do with their 20 gig drive. let alone 360.

Anyone know if "they" are working on 128bit, and higher?

YES, for the same reason people pay 250 dollars more for a P4 2.8 over a P4 2.53mhz. proc.

Speak for yourself FAT ASS!
Laugh it is a Joke.
Read the article. 1000 dollars worth gets you some time. I don't remember the details, but they are there.
"wiping out" on a snowboard with a moving parts hard drive in your backpack, would have a little pun intended.

Ok, ok, uptime, i get it.
Bleh. It is 320gigs of backup, for next to nothing compaired to other solutions (tape)
