    And since most Highways have recently gone up to 70, I guess that means the sticker test should be adjusted, but we knew that already.

  8. Re:Get an SUV on Hybrid Cars Don't Live Up to Mileage Claims · · Score: 1

    MANY SUVs have a diesel option and given that diesel is recognized as more efficient, cheaper and cleaner, Why NOT get an SUV?

    Let the "donors" they list inside the front cover of each issue cover that... even if I pay for their magazine And I don't(generally) ...based on a friend's issue with CR/CU pirating their articles. I still pay nearly full price for their web subscription.

    31.5 isn't better than what one of the guys at work gets in his escort. And if they aren't more efficient then they are wasted.

    Does this mean I should get an SUV or does this mean that all "mileage numbers" are a fantasy...

    Ah, all mileage numbers are a fantasy, and CU is a better evaluator than EPA.

    Ok, nonclassified means that there is no classification applied.

    Unclassified means that the material has been assigned the classification of Unclassified... there are other classifications too.

    For example personal e-mail at home is generally nonclassified. e-mail on a government computer would generally be unclassified.

    Just out of curiousity where was this that 4 hours couldn't find some sort of wilderness, I've never lived more than an hour from wilderness, and I can't think of anywhere that there isn't wilderness within an hour if you know who to ask or what to do.

  17. Re:dream on on Privacy in the Woods? · · Score: 1

    My experience with SAR is that it was organized by the local jurisdiction(State police/sherrif/Nat Guard) and then the all call went for volunteers through the "usual channels" Boy scouts, local hiking groups, Red cross, local ROTC or equiv, Civil Air Patrol, etc and then groups are organized and led by someone from the local jurisdiction and search is done by grid and as each grid is searched the group is assigned an additional grid... attendence is strictly voluntary although if you show up usually you must stay the whole day.

    Yes, but the consumer doesn't want to lose the last 4 minutes of friends or seinfeld... EVER

    And the business answer is that a raid 5 or even a raid 0 is a smart plan because combined with trivial or even no encryption it becomes highly non-trivial to extract those shows by other than manufacturer provided means... which would include the DRMed DVD burner.

    Well, if you are raiding, why not go with RAID5 and have the upside of being able to lose 1 disk and not lose any shows, perhaps even use user replaceable hotswap/coldswap bays for maintenance/upgrade.

    Ok, not complaining, I really just wanted to know how much the thing will cost and when I can get me one... Oh and of course, will it be cheaper than any other 1TB HD device for offline storage.
