So ATA's are tested in batches while SCSI's are tested individually. I think I will continue to run my business critical DB's on SCSI in that case. I just don't think I could sleep at night knowing I trusted some muppet at the factory to pay attention to the test result stats and report them back to the designers/production guys correctly.
Jeez, that is so true, thanks for making me feel old at 32! Windows doesn't like being played with, hence the take up of Linux et al, you have to play to get something done, just like them good ol' days of DOS and the BBS!
Now some words for the old timers out there, Xmodem, Procomm Plus, Kermit, edlin, CopyIIPC, EMS, DOS=HIGH, device=......
Kids today, don't know what we suffered through to get them their Windows XP desktops!!!!
..or did you get the feeling this reviewer guy, was sitting there with his cock in hand while he was testing this gizmo. Jeez, I like playing with new toys but when I've tested it I'd like to send it back without being all sticky!!!!
If your in a corporate environment, get management to lay down an internet usage policy. Fire people who break it. They did that at one place I was working and the network traffic dropped by 75% in about 2 days. Fired 6 people, for playing online games and using P2P nets. With management on your side, fear is a strong weapon.
I have been in IT for the last 12 years and basically the attitude has always been, we expect you to work out of hours to meet dealines, if it goes over an "unreasonable" amount of hours, then we'll pay up. "unreasonable" is determined by the employer!! Like the man said earlier, be happy you still got a job!! Out of hours callout has always been OT or no call out!!!
..my ass!
At some point the message needs to be decrypted, so that's always the weak spot, otherwise it's meaningless garbage! Amount of time and power needed to do this aside, the code has to be able to be decrypted, so all you need is the key, no matter how you obtain it, no matter how long it takes, no matter how much power is needed to get it.
This lesson in the blinding obvious brought to you by the same people who gave you "Common Sense - The ultimate RTFM to life!"
At first (as a 1Mb NTL customer) I was really rufious, but actually sitting down reading the comments and thinkning about it, it really isn't as bad as it seems. The official line is if you consistently break over 1Gb a day for 3 days or more, you will get a warning. You will not simply get cut off mid download! Now unless your the local warez kiddie running a warez ring on your house your gonna have trouble. I spend hours downloading useless crap, but when I think about the amount of time I spend, during a working week, its so little, get in from work at 6pm, download a little bit, maybe leave something over night. Once every two months download Oracle setup (2Gb) or maybe a new RH release every quarter. This is a crack down on people running a six machine share over a single IP, student types and business' not willing to pay for business rentals. Jeez, at least we haven't got to put up with 4Gb a month, now that is hard!
OSS wins and almost all the servers and desktops are OSS. Then the companies that "bought" into the OSS, get annoyed that Linus is not releasing the fixes quick enough. Forks start appearing left right and center and suddenly every company has its own sponsered Linux distro.
Mr Gates waits patriently in the wings waiting for chaos to reach its peak before finally saying..."Well there is a reasonable, inexpensive option for your OS problems, you know?"....(thinks to himself "once more the wheel of fate turns in Bill's direction...mwhahahahaha!")
DALNet has been heading down the tubes for so long now, the in-fighting amongst the server admins has become the stuff of internet legends, can't say I'm surprised or even worried. DALNet compared to other well run IRC nets, really is the pits, so many spammers and kiddies wasting everyone's time. Perhaps once those kiddies get onto other more strict networks, they will finally get slapped down and kept under control.
Hey, we had your Feds can't catch worms to save their live, and believe it or not there is a whole world just over the oceans at either side of the US!
Now be quiet and enjoy something completely useless from Europe!
This is as bad as the legal case the Russian gov is bringing up that the Russian premier looks like that that wrinkly little fart Doddy in Harry Potter!
Just bears out the old joke. What do you call a dead layer? A good start.
...cackling from the guy who's software bugs allowed commands to be executed a root one some systems!
After he stopped laughing he ordered the dev guys in for an extended bug tracking Sunday on Oracle 9i!!!
Cool! Now I can compress all that useless crap with non-useless crap, compare them, then collect more until it uses just as much space as it did when it was non-compressed!;)

Can someone please explain the Anime facsination? I'm not having a go or mocking it, I am really curious to understand what people see in it?
Umm gotta love the States, can't build a model rocket, but I can own a powerful rifle/shotgun!
Come to the UK, we got a right to do sod-all!

What about the 90Mhz I got under my desk right now, doesn't that get a mention?
I want my quad 64GHz processor! I want it in 2 years time and I want quad-128Ghz ready by the following year!!!

Well done! That's almost perfect for a sig!

I love OSS, but just think...

Stop wasting time with the IPOD, get it working on my Archos JB20, playing DivX/Mpg vids, then I'll sit up and take notice!

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Get my "law-talking guy" on the phone, no one has a go at The Beano and lives to tell the tale!!!
No Beano = No Viz!

Too much raw red meat in the canteen will do that!
I've been playing Oracle install since version 8, are there any webpages with the walkthroughs, cause I'm still stuck!!!!!
