They don't attack people with patents outright. They say "Hey, Novell... we've got patents covering shit you're doing. It'd be in your best interests to work with us on the terms we specify". Microsoft doesn't need the money from the lawsuits, they aren't looking at it as a revenue stream. They look at it as a pointy stick to get people to do what they want, and license the patents BEFORE the lawsuits happen.
It's not that odd. The Windows networks exist, and that's what's really important. No one gives two shits about what you're running, only if you can't communicate with them. Samba exists as a clone and is recommended here because people need to interoperate. You can't run any other kind of sharing on Windows and have it work properly, so the only other option is to use the same kind of sharing that Windows DOES work with.
Lots more forest coverage (plants are good, right?) means that we're absorbing a lot more heat from the light just because we aren't cutting down as many trees. Ice is retreating, which is also absorbing more heat... I think I agree with you. 1% more reflected is not going to make much of a dent.
Looks like we're already seeing lots of "terraforming" and reflection changing, due to the amount of plant cover, which makes the planet absorb significantly more heat from the sun (dark colors from plant cover = more energy absorption).
Things change. We save the trees like the environmentalists want, and it makes the earth warmer. Not a very hard thing to understand, and all the mechanisms are well vetted.
Nope. It's a great place for backups to go to, though. Run RAID on one machine, back up your others to it. The most important thing is to never keep any data that you will mind being gone in only one place. And critical stuff (which typically doesn't change), compressed, encrypted and shipped off to another physical location, either a relative's house or web server space or something.
Amen. That's why I back up to the RAID array, and absolutely critical stuff is compressed, encrypted and copied to a remote server so that it's not all in the same place at home.
Swap? You need to buy more RAM. Swap should never be in regular use, only extraordinary use, and a few MB/s won't matter once the system grinds to a near halt once it starts hitting swap.
The problem is that the media companies have exerted market pressures by making it hard to use things legally. In doing so, they prop up the P2P systems. The problem isn't that people don't want to get Radiohead legally... the problem is that they want a Wal-Mart for media online. They aren't going to try to remember 15 different sites to get all the different media they want. They're going to go to the pirate bay and search for Radiohead because that's where they get all their media.
It's not a sorry state of society, it's a completely logical state given what people have been subjected to by the people who create the content.
I have no doubt that if she had the copyright to those files, she could have told them that and they'd give it the all-clear. They wouldn't have caused the problems in this article.
Check your landscaping, and your foundation as well. Do you know how the water was getting in? You should check out the drainage of your house, maybe get a contractor to do it. That's the most helpful thing you can do to keep this from happening again, unless it's coming up from the ground, and that is the only case where you're going to be best helped with a bigger/more pumps.
10" of rain turns into 6' of water with bad drainage and landscaping even if you're not in a flood plain. He should definitely get on that ASAP. If the drainage sucks once, it'll keep flooding the basement in heavy rain until he gets it properly fixed. He may also have some cracks in his foundation that need some attention post-haste.
Don't get a single-speed CD drive. The lasers on those are woefully underpowered, and can't read rewritable or recordable discs properly. You can generally use software to slow down the CD read speed if you need to. I know it's an option in the BIOS of my T61, too.
As a happy customer, I highly recommend Dreamhost. They've always gotten back to me within hours on any minor question, and I have yet to have them cause a major problem for me, and they have a policy of pretty much "live and let live", as long as you aren't doing anything to screw up service for everyone else on your shared box, you're free to do it. And if you have your own box, even more so.
I'm not even gonna put a link with my reference code or anything like that, just because I like them that much:)
Exactly. It's like carbon fiber, except electrically conductive and much, much stronger, and contains 50% or more actual carbon instead of the 1-5% that carbon fiber compositions currently contain (from TFA).
So, pretty much not like carbon fiber at all except that it contains carbon.
Sounds like that's a market opportunity... I'll bet someone would be willing to deal with the HIPAA stuff to make a new system once the technology is completely outdated.
Or do you still complain that you can't get leaded gasoline?
Figure out the distribution losses and how to quickly refuel an electric car with the same efficiency and safety of refueling an ICE powered vehicle, and you have a point.
Internal combustion isn't an anachronism. An anachronism would be a horse drawn carriage. An ICE is the best solution to ALL parts of the problems of transportation as a whole. There's more than just transferring power to the wheels in the equation. Ignoring variables is not the way to get things running mainstream.
Laptops are more and more common... can they even be the MITM regularly? I know a big red flag would go up if any of my servers said that the cert had changed and I wasn't expecting it. Self-signing is perfectly fine if you get the certificate securely the first time.

If I hadn't already posted, I'd mod you up.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
According to this article, we're absorbing more light than only 8000 years ago:

It's not even like people have built any oil-cooled electronic devices and sold them, either.
I noticed the same thing. I'd love to see what happens if someone types a sentence at about 60wpm even.
But I suppose what they've done is proven the concept... anything after that is simply refinement of the filtering algorithms and noise attenuation.

It's just that we Americans have the money to spend on things they can't understand ;)

Your PC service tech needs to learn what a LiveCD is. The only reason I have ever had to pull a hard drive in a laptop was to replace it.
LiveCD's don't work on Apple computers? Because that's what I've always used to save my bacon. Is Apple really that technologically backwards?
