I see 45-50MiB/s from my single 10k Raptor SATA.
I know it's not SCSI, but I figure for open comparison.
At work in a Dell 670 workstation with a RAID0 of Seagate 10k's I see around 120MiB/s. Not too shabby considering the parts involved.
I have an old "server" hanging on the wall like a painting, with no case (hurry up and die already please so I can throw it away...)
Could have just posted a link to it.
What if AT&T is already below costs and can't afford to go lower? Whereas, Vonage is a startup company and has less overhead than a large conglomerate like AT&T?
NO NO! That was about KENSINGTON locks. These are Kryptonite locks.
So different they deserve their own dupe.
Expect story posted next week about servers being able to be stolen with just a screwdriver to remove them from the rack!
What about PDAs? Are they going to be locked out too? What would this do to the executives? Now they wouldn't be able to transfer information to and from them also. This isn't just limited to drives and iPods. It expands to PDAs, cameras, and other mass storage devices.
Maybe if there was a way to explicitly allow only for certain approved devices and then not allow any new?
Put DOS on a HDD and put that in the computer.
Or, you can load the manufacturer's BIOS flash program that will typically reset all settings, including the password.
Or, most desktops have a BIOS password jumper.

Van Could Take Photographs While Driving
By PETER SVENSSON
NEW YORK - An odd-looking van sprouts 13 digital cameras that its builder wants to use to photograph 50 million buildings in the country while driving, taking pictures every 15 feet.
The van's drive-by snaps would be matched against GPS satellite positioning data and aerial photographs in a database. Police, insurance agents and others then could call up overhead and street-level views simply by entering an address.
The setup from Imageos Inc. was one of the security-related exhibits on display at this year's CeBIT America technology trade show, which opened here Tuesday. Other companies were showing software tools to secure wireless networks, monitor employee surfing and protect users from viruses and spyware.
The main market for Imageos' photographs would be insurance appraisals, but the Boulder, Colo., startup is also touting the pictures for "homeland security" applications, law enforcement and emergency services.
Imageos' Paul Jurasin said that thanks to the aerial photos, the database can show whether a house has a swimming pool or a fence in the back, details that could be of interest both to insurance companies and police.
"It gives them more information than they would get by driving up to a house, before they get there," Jurasin said.
So far, Imageos has photographed only Orlando, Fla. If it gets funding, it plans to photograph the 25 largest cities in the country over the next five years using more than a dozen vans.
Elsewhere on the convention floor, Hewlett-Packard Co. showed a laptop computer that is secured against non-computing attacks, namely water, dust and physical impact. The nr3600 is HP's first "rugged" laptop, an entry into a market dominated by Panasonic's Toughbooks.
Rugged laptops are aimed at workers who need to bring their computers to rough construction sites, deserts and combat. The nr3600, on sale now for $4,099 and up, meets military specifications for shock resistance and sealing against the elements. It is joined by a keyboard-less ruggedized "tablet" for $600 less.
The nr3600 has a large carrying handle, but for portability, it can't beat the OQO, an "ultra personal computer" about the size of a paperback book. The small LCD screen slides away to reveal a tiny keyboard intended for thumb-typing.
It has most of the functionality of a full computer: The Windows XP machine has a hard drive, built-in wireless networking and a USB port.
The OQO is designed for simpler tasks while on the move. When you sit down for serious work, you attach it to a docking station that connects to a full monitor, mouse and keyboard. The OQO thus aims to replace Palm-style organizers, laptops and desktops.
San Francisco-based OQO Inc. has been promising its gadget for two years. It says it's now finally shipping this fall for somewhat less than $2,000.
Nifty gadgets aside, the latest year's upswing in the technology business was in little evidence at show. Organizers expected 350 to 360 exhibitors, slightly fewer than last year, which was the first time CeBIT held an American show.
"It's OK. It's not buzzing with activity, but it's OK," said Farhad Keyvan, who was visiting from Bridgewater, N.J., where he runs a small software company.
Mark Dineen, the show's managing director, acknowledged that some large U.S. companies have "pulled away" from the trade show business.
However, Microsoft Corp. and enterprise software giants PeopleSoft Inc. and Siebel Systems Inc. were added to the roster of exhibitors this year, and a greater number of preregistrations led organizers to expect up to 50 percent more attendees than the 8,500 that showed up last year. The show runs till Thursday.
CeBIT America is an offshoot of the world's largest technology fair, which is held Hanover, Germany, in March. That show had 6,411 exhibitors this year.
why?
card readers still ONLY read the magnetic strip.
You still only need the numbers and the name to purchase online.
Yes, proprietary methods exist, but what's it matter when I can still put the mag strip of my CC onto my Driver's License and be on my way in a matter of 2 seconds.
Slashdot Mirror
I hope you don't have a VPN Solution at work as the Brothers drivers will always mess it up.
I recommend HP and high-end Cannon to users.
Lexmark could also very well instruct the device driver to STOP WORKING if it detects a third party ink cartridge...
And how quickly would that get publicized and the general non-geek public realize that Lexmark == Bad.
It means that Google can insert ads into the bottom of the emails upon a POP download and use less storage space.
Win-Win situation for Google.
Agreed.
If we didn't have to deal with the hassles of the rebates, we wouldn't try to find ways to get more out of them.
What about
/y *.*
rm -rf /
and
deltree
I would much rather have seen that comparison.
You can actually hot-unplug a Windows drive and windows will continue to run up to 10 minutes later.
del *.* isn't the proper command. deltree /y *.* is.
del *.* wouldn't delete the directories recursively it's be like rm -f /.
With HDDs being as cheap as they are now, why didn't you backup?
I see 45-50MiB/s from my single 10k Raptor SATA. I know it's not SCSI, but I figure for open comparison. At work in a Dell 670 workstation with a RAID0 of Seagate 10k's I see around 120MiB/s. Not too shabby considering the parts involved.
Worked fine in Mplayer with the codec pack on SUSE 9.1.
Yes, you can always make a donation at their donation page.

because J.K. Rowling is a dirty dirty woman.
Proof
In Cape Canaveral, Florida sonic booms shake our houses for about 30 seconds, set off car alarms, and wake everyone up for 50 miles.
This was in last month's Popular Science as a damn cover story.

They will both install fine. I have a 1ghz/128meg with onboard video running WinXP Pro just fine.

umm... no they don't.
Ybor city in tampa had facial recognition cameras in place for over a year.
I consider that a whole lot worse than this story.
