Like the original poster, I am a home user. I'm considering getting a NAS or dual-drive enclosure (hooked up via Firewire... I'm a Mac user).
ATA drives are still being made. SATA enclosures are just starting to show up. I'm not into buying SATA because the drives are going to be 'faster'. If I'm running on 100 Mbit ethernet, I'm sure my limit is the network and not the drive. I really only care for the long-term replaceability of the drives in the enclosure. How much longer will ATA drives be manufactured? Is SATA 1.0 and 2.0 compatible on the chipsets in most of the enclosures?
I'd like an opion on the choice. Judging by the newer PCs and the fact that new Macs will be made by Intel, is there a chance that Firewire will be eliminated? That being the case, would it not be wiser to use a NAS, since ethernet will be around much longer?
I'd like to be able to get a case that will last 5 years or so. If a drive dies, fine, its replaceable. I just don't want to buy other cases.
Having thought about this, I think I'm going to buy a dual SATA raid enclosure and put most of my files on it. Dvds are convienient - I'll use em to play MP3 music on my stereo but that's it.
What of commercially burned music, dvd and software discs?
And what future portable storage technology offers better longevity? Hologram?
The Article also mentions that the patient was given low doses of TamiFlu. Should the patentients not be given a full course of the mediation at the appropriate doeses to ensure effectiveness?
I know bacterium and viruses are different, but is this not the same problem that's happened with penecillin?
I believe you are writing about the tarrifs from an American perspective. I believe most of your carbonated beverages (Pespi, Coke) use corn syrup. I live in Canada and our pop is made with Cane sugar.
I think the larger problem is the amount of sugar in food today. Pepsi and Coke have 40 grams of sugar per can. If people want to drink Pepsi or Coke I have no problem (I do on occasion), but this is way too much sugar. (This says nothing of the health risks of artificial sweetened version of popular soft drinks. I know plenty of people who react to Aspartame, I know I do).
Some processed foods also have corn syrup added: Salami, other cold-cut meats. Some packaged chicken also has some I believe (at least in Canada, depends on the 'brand' of chicken purchased).
When you combine the effects of the high-sugar North American diet and lack of activity with a high fructose intake you have a problem. If you eat within the food 'pyramid' and eat 3 or 4 fruit servings a day there is no harm.
I'm a Canadian. I have to say that the idea that "Europe is just someplace on a map" gets lost in the whole scheme of things. I think our society sees a spot of TV or in a movie and believe to have experienced it, so they don't have to travel there. Or, they can comment about it because they've seen Italy or France hundreds of times on television.
All told though, I see the Canadian workplace becoming more focused on the money aspect of things. Several colleagues have thought of moving to Europe after finishing university because of the working conditions - less work time, more 'freedom' time. I think our workplace has to evolve into one where productivity is the objective so we don't have to sit in an office for as many hours a day.
As we all know from buying the latest technology, most product warranties only last 1 year.
FTA: The material withstood the shock pressures generated by the impacts of up to 250 tons per square centimeter. This is approximately equivalent to dropping four diesel locomotives onto an area the size of one's fingernail.
Now if I purchased one, I know that I would have to get a large crane, rigged to hold 4 diesel locomotives only to have it drop on the armor. I won't be in the armor. That would be stupid. LOL. But would my warranty still be valid? And how would they know that I dropped 5 locomotives instead of 4?
Now I know Best Buy won't be selling these, so no worries about their extended warranty policies. But is there anyone with the balls who'll really want to try this one out for a Darwin Award?
The hanging intentation thing needed for APA? Easy... Do a hard enter on the second line of text, then backspace the line. Highlight the sentence (or sentences to indent, then go to Formant...Paragraph. Under special, choose hanging and indent by 0.2" (that is usually equiv to 4 characters which is the style I've been using).
To me, assuming OO were sped up, and it retained the same GUI, I cannot get used to it enough to be productive. I've found the menus too unintuitive to figure out. If they would kindly copy MS, I would use it.
iWorks is a nice program. I've been trying Pages for a while as well. I only wish Apple had chosen to make it more of a word-processor and less of a Desktop Publishing app. Maybe in 2.0. It does a great job with a Resume (about all I use it for). Keynote, though, is a bloody impressive app.
I hope this will be possible, that is, to mod the Xbox.
I want a small media console for my apartment without hooking up a computer to a TV. I would be nice to store MP3s and such on it as well. And play a few games on it.
If not I hope Nintendo or the PS3 provide this sort of think natively. If the reasoning behind all the TPM measures is in part to prevent piracy, IMO, Nintendo got it right with the Gamecube: A small format disc (though non-standard) which spins backward with the data written in an inverse way. Nobody's been able to pirate a game and play it on the GC to date. If only it would play DVD size discs it would be great.

I would agree. Back when I was a Windows user..(now a Mac).. I had made several attempts to make a working image with Acronis. This was a late 2004 release I was using and had patched. Having two identical drives (manufacturer and size) I tried to restore the image (to make sure it works). Only after making 3 attempts at an image did it actually work.
During the 1918 pandemic, the mortality rate was highest among young men (aged 20 to 35 or so). Among the dead were some professional hockey players - stong, young, well nourished men. The older men were not dying at the same rate as the younger men, nor were females. This at least, from stories I've seen on the Discovery channel.
I'm not overly worried about the pandemic even though I'm in said demographic. I'm more worried about getting hit by a car. I also read (local paper today) that Sauerkraut, because of the high count of lactobacillus bacteria, maybe an effective way to counteract H5N1 and other flu viruses. Interesting, if true.
Simple actually, and I've never studied Quantum mechanics:
1) Post a great story/discovery on the Net. 2) Wait a few days. 3) Get story posted on Slashdot 4) Wait a few minutes. 5) Hard drives will metl, AC will fail withing minutes. 6) ????? 7) Profit!!! (Sorry, I didn't mean for 6 and 7, but by now are obligatory).
This "Slashdotting" as a source of power is more powerful force than anything. I am sure this is the source of this discovery. And as long as there are Slashdot readers, there will always be power.

Afterall, he IS paid to write these 'articles'. As his ego tells him he is the best tech reporter, let him sort it out. I actually hope he finds editing images so frustrating that he retires from writing.
He should also work on editing text (his articles, to make the coherent) something which shouldn't be a complicated before moving to images.
While the main objective is to find subs and they contentionnally carried nuclear warheads, if one of the objectives is to find ships, it would seem to me that using satellites would be a practical alternative. Cloud cover might/might not be a problem depending on how advanced the technology is. The US Navy recently launched a stealth ship that deflects sonar. When other nations have such ships, seems to me only practical way to track would be satellites.
That's not to say they shouldn't have sonar at all. Military always needs redundant systems incase the satellites go down.
Some of the future consoles might help indie developers. The new Xbox 360 dev-kit is supposedly some new version of Visual Studio 2005. The PS3 one apparently is expensive. The Revolution is, accoriding to quotes from Miyamoto, supposedly the same as the Gamecube one (which is supposedly "easy) and cheap to buy. Since there's no info on the Reveloution dev kits and little on the Gamecube ones unless you sign some contracts, I'd like to know how much it costs for the Xbox 360 kits and the Revolution ones.
Esp if Nintendo comes out with an on-line distribution system for games (large or small) for he Revolution, I have a few game ideas I'd like to sell for the Revolution. I can forsee even some people working remotely together to put a Revolution game together if its that "easy".
Than again, you can just make a shareware game on the PC or Mac and distribute on-line and save the dev kit costs.
Since one of the other posters has given what bleach concentrations are needed to kill fungi, I am curious as to what effectivness laundry detergent has on killing fungi? Isn't detergent made to make dirt, bacteria etc "slippery" and washes off the fabric? Would it wash away some of the fungi or does the fungi attach itself to the fabric quite well?
At some point in time, "old" RAM and other computer parts are no longer going to work or we won't be able to find computers old enough to work with it. At this point, what exactly happens to the parts? I know there's a fair amount of toxic material (lead being one) that is used in the bords or in the production. We cannot obviously turn the recycled PCBs into its original components. Are there any solutions coming up in the future or the boards being ground up to be used as part of something else?
Please mod up any good reply and not my post.... not trying to be a Karma whore or anything.

I'd like to contribute money to the cause. Lawyers are the major problem of Western society, not video games.
