yes, but the starter motor in a car isn't directly over the oxygenated petrol fumes like a phone is when it rings (ie either in your pocket or on a belt)
where are you getting it from? the cheapest i could find 1.5MB is around $150/mo
for $50/mo i can get 256/64, but thats fairly slow.
(btw i live around wollongong, which is a fairly large city, not some rural backwater in the middle of nowhere (not that there's anything wrong with that:))
At my place of employment, we trialed 5 of the 160GB models, and basically they suck. They have 4 IDE drives in them, and they were set to run as RAID 5. They were all authenticating against a NT4 domain (yeh, i know, but this is a hospital so pretty backwords here). They would have to be rebooted fairly often because they would basically stop working properly, and 3 of them developed bad drives.
The problem with the bad drives is that they aren't hot-swappable. All of the drives are mounted on the inside of the case, and require turning off the device to pull it apart and swap the drive over.
Compare this with our standard HP/Compaq (now the same company) servers, which all have hot-swappable 15k SCSI drives in them. When one of those goes bad, just pull it out and put in another drive.
The other downside of the SNAP's is, when you have swapped the drives over, it takes an hour or so to rebuild the array, and you cant use it during that time.
So basically these things might be good for a home user (ie major geek) or maybe small business, but it is definately not an enterprise product.
1/2 second was a rough number - based totally on guesstimation only. the tracks i'm talking about are ripped with EAC then encoded with LAME and played back with WinAmp. If you tell it to crossfade between tracks it covers up the glitch(but sounds like arse). Without the crossfade you can hear a significant pause between tracks.
nb i ripped all of my music collection as FLAC's, and this format doesn't have this problem. It's not my computers fault as there is no pause between the FLAC's, which are significantly larger than their MP3 counterparts.
well, with mp3 anyway, even if you encode at 320kbps, the frame length doesn't match up to a frame on a CD. so if you are listening to a live performance where the CD is divided into tracks, but sounds like one long performance, when converted to MP3 has annoying 1/2 second gaps between tracks.
commenting about his sig? the whole point of it is that msdos doesn't have any remote capability and that's why there are no remote exploits. it's called irony dude.

In fact I think it would be a good idea to lace the worlds drug supplies with poison rather than spending so much money in the obviously unwinnable war on drugs!
Lace drugs (heroin, etc) with small quantities of heavy metals so that it slowly builds up in their system, then makes them drop dead. You want it to happen slowly or people will just quit.
Just like with the blowing up of PC's, just log the IP's of filesharers and nuke them all at once - that'll teach 'em. if you do them one at a time, people will stop without being punished . . . and that's not we want . . .

just wait until the 'bad guys' (being enemy spies, or l33t script kiddies) hax0r this - that's what i call one kickass denial of service attack . . .
the problem is that if you open one up to have a look, it's not black anymore, mainly because your letting too much light in.
and i'm sure the sheep wouldn't be happy about being opened up either
no, just america.
if you're talking about robin hood:men in tights, it's been out in australia for a fairly long time (maybe 12 months?)

this can also be caused by the mechanical vibrator in the phone when it rings.

how about calling it a 'mowbot'?

With the oxy/acetylene, when cutting steel, you can turn off the fuel and there is still a flame, as the metal is acting as the fuel . . .
how about for expansion - hope for firewire instead of, say, SCSI :P
