    There have still been larger and more devastating hurricanes on record long before "global warming" was a concern, so your comment has been deemed irrelevant...

  10. Re:#87, TRS-80 Model 100 on Top 100 Gadgets of All Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was still using one of those in 1995 to interface with our card readers that controled the doors (it held the user access database). It was the only thing that was reliable enough that we could leave under our raised floor in our computer room and with it's batteries, it could run for almost a day without external power. Very handy when the building lost power yet again and someone needed to get into the room (no, we weren't issued keys).

  11. Re:Mac Mini DVD Playback/Video Editing on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1

    Raw DV isn't compressed. 12-13G/hour is about right as DV is 3.6Mb/sec.

    Only works well until it is time to graduate and find out that you can't because your GPA sucks eggs.

  19. Re:Freenet? on MPAA Goes After More Bittorrent Site Operators · · Score: 1

    It is getting better, however. in terms of performance and tools to utilize freenet.

    I dabble on freenet sometimes and when I connect up, I get fair performance. Big files still suck, but little file and web browsing can be tolerable...

  20. Re:This actually works.... on EFF Promotes Freenet-like System Tor · · Score: 1

    Freenet works better these days, however it still can be quite slow at times. You might want to give it a try again.

  21. Re:Analog hole on Welcome to the Future of DRM Media · · Score: 1

    Of course, nothing is to stop someone from renting the DVD, playing it on their High-Def LCD or Plasma screen, then recording it with a digital Camcorder pointed at that screen (in high-def if it supports it). Results in much better quality than movie theater rip, and of course, no DRM...

  22. Re:Improvements in data center technologies? on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 1
    I think you nailed the point. Many people assume their jobs will be the same throughout their careers and are caught surprised when they find out their skills are obsolete.

    The key to staying employed, especially in IT, is to keep developing your skills...
