I think what is missing in that sentence is that current xboxes don't have an 8 GB hard drive. They have a 10 GB hard drive. This is because nobody makes 8GB hard drives anymore.
And, the standard unit for area could be the area of hard drive that a Library Of Congress covers, on a specific hard drive, or maybe the most recent hard drive.
Wouldn't that be fun: "These darn units keep shrinking"
Actually, my biggest pet peeve is using a number in the thousands or millions infront of a unit that has a kilo or mega. "several thousand kilometers" instead of "several megameters" if you are trying to dumb things down, why use a prefix on the unit at all? For example, "several million meters". Then you wouldn't be putting a number that is more than 10^3 infront of a unit that has a prefix of 10^3 already.
The problem with that is... it makes too much sense, and puts the IRS out of business.
I mean, we already collect city, state and federal sales tax, and then we tax income, businesses pay tax, etc.... The infrastructure already exists, it is just a matter of changing the percentages, and eliminating the IRS. I am completely in favor of this, but the chance of it happening?
As I understand it, the reason is that you need n Analog to Digital converters to read n platters at the same time. If you are only reading one platter at a time, you can use one A-D converter and a switch to select the head connected to the A-D converter. Since these A-D converters are expensive, and the situations where you would benefit from them are limited, I don't think that we would notice much if they DID hook each head up to a A-D converter, with each converter going into a seperate buffer. Possibly on some enterprise level hard drives?
That is why RAID is so good- you do get platters being read in parallel, with each head going into it's own cache. It is just that the parallelism doesn't occur in each atomic hard drive, and instead occurs at the RAID controller level.
Googling doesn't turn up anything, but with what other people say about no noticable performance between drives of the same type with different numbers of platters, this would probably be the case.
I could be wrong, and my geography is really bad, but even I know that Sydney, Austrailia (Farscape) is a bit far from Vancouver, Canada. Like, a few thousand miles (many thousand kilometers). All of the specials in Farscape talk about filming in Austrailia, and most of the smaller parts were played by Austrailians.
Even that will not work, because even in a quoted string, all punctuation is interchangeable with a space. so "/tmp/foo/bar" is the same as "tmp foo bar", which are very different.
So if you forget to lock your front door, and I waltz in your living room, but don't take or damage anything, just look around, take a few pictures and leave quietly while you are out, I'm legally in the clear?
If that is the norm in your culture, then yes, it is legal, because it is commonly accepted that on the Internet any ftp site that allows an anonymous login is there to serve files to the public.
what about a technical solution, where mail is only sent from authenticated servers or something similar? Due to the jurisdictional issues, a technical solution is just about the only solution that has any hope of working, as that wouldn't be limited to a single country.
But, if your key logging crosses state boundaries, then it would become wire tapping, with all of those problems, right? And for the physical device connected to the computer, what if the data you typed crosses state boundaries?
It is quite hard to do anything on the internet WITHOUT crossing state boundaries at this point.
Actually, since the air drag is proportional to the frontal area, adding mass without changing the profile would slightly help, in that you have more momentum. They just have to put it in a specific spot to make the center of mass for the whole station within their desired volume. Since they **DON'T** ever want to have an acceleration, the more momentum they have the better.
You can use the "$" before a row or column name in A1 style to make it a constant for fill, for example, if a cell has a value of "=$A$1", then it will always be that value when it is filled right.
This works the same in OO.org and Excel, and is a VERY useful if underdocumented trick that I have discovered.
Yeah, I wish that ALL of the next-gen consoles would fit into a standard audio-rack, so that you can stack other devices ontop/below the consoles, like a reciever and amplifier, and maybe other consoles?
But, naah, they need to make consoles that look like toys, not like something that belongs in a A/V rack....
(and if you want portable, then get portable, like the PSP.)
That is one BIG problem with all pda's : no memory battery.
Graphing calculators, which are NOT designed to store important data like that, all have seperate memory batteries. That, and the battery is just a watch battery, so that is not a big size problem. Just make it a lithium, and stick it anywhere.
I don't get why ANY pda EVER has not had a battery backup, but that is just me.
Well, if this is a linnear acuator, if the power failed, then the car would just fall/drop quickly, and then stay bottomed out. Yeah, THAT would definitly get your attention. You would be able to tell absolutly everything that the car runs over.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, and the murder could make that happen causing that lag by a ddos on the person's ip address.
Yes, but a Super-Alphabet-ROM drive, or a Super-Alphabet-RW drive?
she is using the UDP protocol
Yeah, and I would call it LaTex.
Seriously, if you want something like that, just use a GUI for LaTex, and you get your styles with the styles possibly defined in the document header.
the faster you go, the less mpg you get.

they probably set the speed to be the exact optimal in terms of fuel usage.

Yes, and if anyone does complain, then there is the funding for /. for the next year.

from the article:
At low speed, each floor takes an hour to revolve.
Why would the slowest speed be 1 revolution every hour?
I would think that the most natural speed would be 1 revolution in 1 day.
