The Plist and Glist are stored on some hidden track on the HDD platter. As long as the firmware is the same the drive should work. Although I believe drive companies change firmware without changing the "Official" firmware number. This is done because the changes are only "manufacturing" related. (-;
I'm sure we are going to be hearing more of these types of stories in the future. Hopefully they will all be thrown out or what makes the internet great will be in trouble.
Now instead of needing 50 + machines to bring down one server we can have 50 machines bring down 50 servers. That's just great. I can't just wait and see what happens next time some Chinese students get pissed off at us!
Is the sale up for only certain countries or can any millionaire buy it?
Lets say a crazy millionaire or group purchases this thing and crashes it into an offshore drilling complex. Is seller now partly responsible for selling it to this crazy person or group?
Lots more to worry about other than a pink slip...
Yet another who does not know the difference between a HDD approved driver and a home depot power drill with vicious torque.....another head bites some dust... resulting in a Support call like this -
Tech support: How may I help you?
RevSmiley : What the Fuck? I was just drilling this Fuckin drive in like 99.9% of all OEMers on this planet and now the fucking thing makes this spring snapping/clicking like noise after a month of downloading porn!
Tech support : What kind of drill were you using sir?
RevSmiley : What the fuck does that fuckn matter!? I was stroking my favorite fucking rabbit foot while installing it! FUCK YA!
Tech support : Well sir incorrect drive handling is the number one reason of drive failures in the field.
RevSmiley : FUCK! You sound just like that guy who told me I must ground myself when installing a new motherboard because invisible charges of electricity my body collects can cause shit to break 6 months down the road! I don't stroke my rabbit's foot that much you fucker! That's all a bunch of Bullshit!! Another fucking expert!
Anyone who has been watching drive stocks lately can see that this suspiciously negative press release coincides with the surge in drive stock prices. Is someone screaming fire in a large theatre?
Drive handling is everything. Treat your drive like an egg!
I can't help but to laugh at those who use a screw driver drill to install a drive then wonder why it does not work reliability.
Remember the old days when we could intercept the non-encrypted space shuttle video and audio?
Then we saw UFO's and NASA claimed it was "Space debris being pushed around by thrusters". After all the hoopla NASA started to encrypt the broadcast! Does anyone remember when this started?
* RANT * Astronauts know the dangers they are getting them self's into. This was a disaster not a tragedy. A tragedy is when a 5-year-old child dies from a drive by shooting stray bullet. Not when a Scientist/ Astronaut dies doing something they love. Think about that!!
As for the future of space travel, the big problem here is that space travel is still government funded. We need private sector corporations involved in space development! Think of all the natural resources in space ready for the taking! All is needed is government support of the privatization of space. Until then we will have to deal with pork barrel politics and over priced bureaucratic space programs.
Maxtor did this with thier 6000 product line which started shipping last year.
Maxtor has been OEMing a SCSI to IDE box for a lower cost NetApp filer for over a year now.
Nothing new and exciting here.
ME - Hey look, this 3.6 Volt battery
supplies 1000mA. Thats 200 more mA than this other battery!
RADIO SHACK ANSWER DUDE - Be carful! Too many mA can burn up your cordless phone! That's why you should get an EXACT replacement part.
ME -:-O
Slashdot Mirror
Results in 15000 Ah! Now I get it THANKS!
Yeah, read it an concluded WTF? I am traumatized by this outrageous title!
I suspect the spammers may have just moved to a different spamming medium.
we have 1000+ that are imaged on a regular basis for product testing. Your question is echoed here...im sure there are many others...
The article says nothing about how all this increasing surveillance has affected crime in the UK. Has it not? Why was it not covered in the article?

And I thought it was just the wrong file name!
