I've seen many houses where a portable phone or a number of portable phones were the only telephones in the house. This is surely a danger to the occupants when the power goes out, right? Isn't this just a product of our reliance on new technology? Can't get cash out of ATMs, can't drive out of an area without entering uncontrolled intersections, perishable food goes bad, can't read slashdot?
Were these drives that failed in your array of the same manufacturer, model and batch? Like using different vendors' hardware for Internet routing to prevent vulnerabilities from killing off your whole network, you should use drives from different manufacturers or batches from the same manufacturer in your RAID array to prevent the same failure occurring in both drives at the same time.
Well, first off--this is a horrible idea. Using deaktop components in a production environment is asking for trouble. At the very least, I have onboard NICs fail regulary on the desktop boards we use at my place of business.
Chipsets are chipsets, motherboards are motherboard, and memory is memory
Well, chipsets can be argued... but memory is not memory. Server motherboards are equipped to use ECC/Buffered RAM which is far better for production servers.
I began to realize that I don't want to spend the rest of my life using my skills to make someone else money.
See the funny thing about your "skills" is that they are useless without an infrastructure to execute them upon. The effort you put in at a company is part of a system of people who bring in business, people who manage information (you), people to make the product and people who deliver it. You don't deserve all the credit for the money the company rakes in, therefore you only get a cut--just like everyone else. You are no more important than the people who pack the boxes, drive the trucks or sit on the phone.
SenderID is a combination of the Meng Wong's SPF and Microsoft's Caller-ID. If someone has implemeneted "Sender-ID" that means they use both to check for an email sender's right to send mail from a particular server. This licensing issue is really about the MTAs (the mail software) that checks for the Sender-ID records and scores mail based on them. If Microsoft won't let their portion of the schema be compatible with the licenses MTAs like Sendmail have, then the technology can't be incorporated legally and no one who uses sendmail can check email send from domains who publish records based on only Microsoft's contribution.
However, SPF1, which is Meng Wong's free contribution to Sender-ID is the basis on which most companies have published Sender-ID records, therefore you can still USE SPF to check for servers permitted to send mail from a particular domain.
I'd have to agree with this analysis. The crystal with a frequency of 6.775117MHz would correspond with a 433Mhz unlicensed band reciever (with a 64x multiplier).
Does anyone else find it ironic that an article touting the low-profileness of a product doesn't actually state the HEIGHT? It can't help but remind us of the 6.7"x6.7" dimension of the standard.
Linux binaries that run the Windows Medal of Honor client have been created and MoH runs decently on modest hardware (I've played on FreeBSD, 1.8ghz, Geforce 4 440MX), I recommend it for some good old-fashioned killing fun.
I tried buymusic.com for the first time last week and that was it. The download and burn procews of the files was a breeze, and I don't mind the DRM restrictions, as I only wanted one CD copy of the album I bought anyway. The real problem cam edown the the QUALITY OF THE FILES! They suck! Not only is Windows Media a horrible audio codec, their files are encoded at only 128kbits! It sounded ghastly on my car stereo... even on my laptop speakers! I refuse to pay for music at anything less than 192kbits in ACC, MP3 or OGG format.::makes whirbiling noises:: That's all it is!
The FreeBSD development team has been very straightforward about the stability of the 5.x branch and I do not use it because of that. 4.x is still the best server platform available.
The airlines and telecommunications companies also have an economic incentive to keep cell phones turned off in the air. The carriers receive a cut of the revenues from the telephones installed onboard. The two main providers of this air-phone service, GTE Corp. and AT&T Corp., charge about $6 for a one-minute call, more than 20 times typical cell-phone rates.
These in-flight telephones also operate on cellular technology -- using a single airplane antenna to which the onboard phones are typically wired. AT&T and GTE, which recently agreed to sell its Airfone service, decline to discuss air-phone financial arrangements, as do several airlines. But Sheehan says airlines pocket about 15 percent of all air-phone revenue generated on their planes. GTE declines to discuss Airfone revenues, but analysts estimate the unit's annual revenues at $150 million."
I'm sure the same applies to all such wireless gizmos.

BugTraq and NTBugTraq are THE software security lists.
I've developed a heat-sensing technology for robotic lawnmowers in this vein... but it isn't meant to PROTECT the neighbor's cat.

I'd imagine the time on the game clock was totaled for each level
I can only guess why you said "Astalavista[.box.sk]"? Don't you mean AltaVista? :P
Or maybe you were referring to the "security" site?
I've had a ot of luck using the drivers for Brooktree 878 chipset based capture cards on FreeBSD and Linux.

Patenting your own DNA? That's ludicrious! That's like a robot patenting it's own firmware.

All of the posts previous did nothing to answer the original poster's question. Who the hell is modding these posts +1?!
The backlight in LCDs uses the most power
I don't know about you guys, but I was never a fan of wasting power. All my PCs turn off the monitor when idle!
Do you drive an SUV too?
Add Linux and cluster like a mother f...
I'm sure we can hack a cable to string a thousand-odd GB/GBC/GBAs together.
Anyone willing to donate ten thousand AA batteries?
The FreeBSD development team has been very straightforward about the stability of the 5.x branch and I do not use it because of that. 4.x is still the best server platform available.
The points you note remind me of what I like about FreeBSD. Mmmmm... FreeBSD.
"Fireless" came to mind, but... what the hell does that really man?
"Economic incentive
