Anything think it's not OBVIOUS? We've been talking about fuel cells for YEARS. Now someone's come up with the idea to - and get this - Use it somewhere.
Rght, and suppose you also grow/rear all your own food, change the brake pads in your car and cut your own hair? After all, you can, no less than you can admin your own systems
They're not paying more for the 'same service', they're paying more for the fact that that seat had a higher price tag to begin with, just so it could accommodate travellers who had to book at the last minute. If they didnt' charge him more for that seat, it would have sold to someone else long ago, and it wouldn't be available for him to travel at short notice.
No, it's just Windows' braindead way of handling it. Consider yourself lucky it doesn't ask you if you're sure you want to overwrite the existing drivers with the exact same files every time you plug in. Consider yourself even luckier that it doesn't just do it every single time, even when you're plugged into the same ports.
The workaround, of course, is to label the USB ports you use for Keyboard and Mouse on WinXP machines. If the machine is still booting, it's usually more than a minute before you can use your keyboard and mouse if you've swapped their ports. Look on the bright side, at least if the system shits on its own drivers by crashing while overwriting them, at least you'll be able to get them back again, all thanks to the same bug/feature!
Just another step in being able to source the problem, AND the solution, all from one Vendor, while still leaving the road clear for per-Keyboard licencing.
I used to think that too, until one day I looked back and realised of the three Denon brand CD players (studio version, ugly with rack-mount brackets), ALL had crapped out and required service at some stage. Sure, that's as good as a CD player gets these days, but this was the 90's, when CD players were expected to last long enough to justify tighetening the rack bolts.
There's a bit more to it than just multiplying the speed of a single drive by the number of spindles. There's going to be some overhead in striping over that many spindles, parity calculation (you're not going to RAID0 the lot are you?), never mind getting IO to all those controllers.
Reusing the old drives just seems to become less and less viable with time.
Speaking as a man who had a pretty hefty dose of having to learn about Cult Mind Control while I did my damndest to save my wife from the Jehovah's Witnesses, I would say this this is pretty accurate, but would add:
4) Works to create tension and mistrust between the new-guy and his unbelieving / skeptical family and friends. [like Scientology]
5) Often attempts to exhaust the person physically during the induction, 2AM knocks on the door etc. to defeat their mental defences
You're correct about drones, they actually become parylised the instant they mate. With regards to the queen, I wasn't very clear, sorry. She mates on one occasion, with multiple drones. On that occasion she receives enough sperm for 3-5 years of egg-laying, the usual life of a queen bee.
Interesting point about the praying mantis, thanks.
Do you not understand the meaning of the output of 'free'?
There's only 425M in use not counting buffers and cache. Most OSs will not waste memory be keeping heaps free - they'll cache as much as the available memory permits. Once your system has been up for some time and seem some work, all of your memory will show as used, either by processes or as cache/buffer.
Yeah, the feedback system is a total waste of time. I hate being able to spot habitual time-wasting, non-paying / bad packaging, hostile traders before committing to deals with them.
It grinds me no end that folks can see that, in over five years I've always taken care of my responsibilities and sorted out problems whenever they arose.
Since he's also a coder, he probably wants to, like me, improve the readability of his SQL statements with capitalisation. I always type the keywords out in caps (without the assistance of CapsLock). It's not much trouble to go to, and I've always appreciated it when it comes to debug time.

Hey, thanks for the idea! Looks like nobody's got that one yet.

We've had worse.
I always was a lot of E's IMO.

No, not bitter.

IMO it's still a landing if It was in accordance with the designated procedure for coming into contact with the land and surviving.
I chose between Slashdot and 4chan - you should do. Until then fuck off.
You're thinking of defamation, where being provably factual (or possibly other things in certain cases) is a defence.

I'm afraid you're mistaken - only the queen can lay eggs. Worker bees are infertile and do not mate. Queens only mate once.

Sorry I'm late. I was playing an mp3, drove the latency right up.
An episode of Red Dwarf did it too, Lister used the hand from his counterpart in a parallel universe.

Not at all - an OTDR can easily show the run and all the splices on very short runs used across a few streets.
Meh. Good thing it wasn't Token Ring full stop.

Flamebait!? If anything, it's praise-bait.
