From recent experience flying into Philly:
1) Entering the US from Europe, you will be fingerprinted from both hands, and have your face photographed with what looks like a logitech webcam at passport control. It's not a retina scan though.
2) Retina identification is used in Europe in place of passports, although it's voluntary. SAS and other airlines operating out of Sweden have a frequent traveller programme where you can register your retinal scan with them once, and then when you fly next time you simply walk up to a machine that looks a bit like HAL, stick your eye against it, and it lets you straight past without a customs officer checking your passport.
say you have 6 drives, with 3 arrays. how in hell is your controller going to know what you were intending to happen if you remove the drives and randomly insert them in different positions? it's not there to second guess you, and would cause problems if it did.
yes, because no-one will sell you components for x86 machine, will they? it's not as if you can't buy everything from a silent PSU to a 3.5" drivebay cigarette lighter at just about any computer shop in the world or anything...
yes, that confused the hell out of me too when my ebay-bought car cigarette lighter->USB socket adaptor didn't charge my C500/HTC Tornado.
despite many posts on t'internet to the contrary, it isn't anything to do with activesync, but rather that the phone needs 2 pins on the USB socket shorting together to charge. i *think* it was pins 4 and 5, but for the love of god don't just wire this up without checking: modaco has lots of information.
in the end i bought another which was specifically stated as being C500 compatible and it works fine....
can you not just use window envelopes and a template for your word processor that puts the address in a suitable place?
if you can't do this, why not write a macro that'll spit your address labels out of a real label printer like a Dymo or a Zebra Z4M+ when you print a letter?
Or setup your templates in Word to print the address labels to a different printer tray to your letter paper, and fill that printer tray with envelopes?
this is the kind of problem that i'd imagine a bit of thought could completely remove....
agreed, if you have the money. Z4M+ models will run 24x7 for years without a hitch with decent label stock. you can use thermal transfer or normal ink in them and they come with a network interface.
the SPECS cameras on UK motorways and A roads already do this and issue speeding fines based on the evidence: they read your plate at one point, then about 2 miles down the road another camera reads your plate again. If average speed > speed limit (plus about 10% for speedo inaccuracies) then you get a ticket.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, you're all ignorant fucknuggets. the FDA regulate the entire chain: and no pharma company would risk breaking FDA regs. An FDA audit discovers you didn't have informed consent when you tested a few years back? Your drug gets pulled off the market and the company goes bust.
you no longer have warranty support. this means should you need spares, you're going to struggle to get them quickly. it can make a lot of sense, but in other ways you're getting the worst of both worlds: the lack of support of white boxes, and the expense of running named servers.
it can work, but you need to weigh up the pros and cons - and be sure that you're qualified to do so.
my money's on new, named boxes, and replace them every 3 years unless you're really small or really cash-poor.
proprietary hard disks in HP/Compaq, IBM etc? absolute shite. show me a single iota of evidence this is true in say, a proliant. they're just commodity scsi disks in a vendor-specific sled.
it's all still sony, and i'd still rather teabag a mime (http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/pi5send5_f-thumb.jp g) than spend any more money with them. what are you going to do, work towards a boycott of a subset of their company and reduce the effectiveness of that boycott, or boycott the whole company and ask others to do likewise?
what's it got to do with windows? the issue is idiots advising bringing external devices into company networks and connecting them. i'd be just as pissed off if someone brought a linux laptop, or a windows laptop running a non-corporate client in. twat.
1) who says his IT department can't support Windows?
2) who are you to suggest a user brings an unsupported platform into a (presumably) secure corporate environment and connects it to their LAN?
3) why do you think encouraging users to bring in random bits of kit and connecting them without authorisation to a corporate LAN will reduce support headaches?
he didn't run at all. he also didn't vault the barriers. he wasn't wearing a bulky jacket. he didn't have wires poking out of his jumper. and the cctv mysteriously vanished, whilst all other cctv used to ID the london bombers was all over the press...
he sat on a train, was grabbed by one policeman whilst another shot him 11 times, three times in the head from under a foot away.
that'd apply if you're forcing air into a pipe and watching it come out of the other end. the issue is that if you're forcing air into, say, an underfloor system that's full of different shapes, air passages, etc that the airflow will tend to the path of least resistance, and you'll get less airflow in pockets, which might cause problems.
try http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/ for them. A cheap PC with a cheap keyboard/mouse or trackball (so you don't mind it getting broken or slobbered on) and the BBC CBeebies website keeps my two year old very amused...

the baliff's certainly aren't legally allowed to flag down cars and stop them: so do they do it in conjunction with the police?

My Toshiba M1's dims in response to the ambient lighting, and it's been around for at least 2-3 years.

you offshore everything, and let someone else worry about it...
