Um.... No. When I was young, there were: Prince, Nine Inch Nails, MC Hammer, Eric Clapton, and Vanilla Ice. All kinda iffy in retrospect. A few centuries earlier, they had Mozart. A few decades earlier, they had Grand Funk Railroad.
Having seen all of the artists you mention live, in concert, I still think Clapton puts on the best show, with Vanilla Ice a close second. His 1992 show at the Miami Arena put the Magic Flute to shame. Not to take anything away from Prince and Hammer - I have fond memories of more than a few stops on the "Nothing Compares 2 U Can't Touch This" tour..
I thought the subject of 1999's Go was Ecstacy, not Crack, and none of the 10^60 outcomes had Katie Holmes doing full frontal, so why is this occupying the time of so many bright people?
Comcast Workplace has the same downstream bandwidth limits, you just get slightly more upstream and the ability to have static IPs.
In fact, CW is even more restrictive (at least in my market) because you don't benefit as much from PowerBoost (a bandwidth surge during the first 10MB of any transfer in which residential users may temporarily get as much as 24Mbits/sec).
Law is as much about logic as it is finding previously decided cases that support your arguments.
The average lawyer, in his subject area of expertise, is going to have a much better working knowledge of case law than the average armchair Slashdot lawyer.
And don't confuse "logic" with "intelligent intuition"; the law seldom follows simply from the latter.
The implication is that Seagate has crippled their 7200rpm drives so as not to cannibalize sales of the 10k RPM drives.
Assuming this is true, it shouldn't remain so for very long.
There are plenty of other purveyors of 7200rpm drives (without an interest in selling more 10K RPM SATA drives), and Seagate doesn't hold exclusive rights to perpendicular recording technology.
Soon enough someone will make a 7200rpm drive that isn't crippled, and then I suspect we'll see the 7200.10 series magically return to its former sequential performance.
MIT course VI alumni will recognize this as a thinly veiled ploy to get more people to sign up for F. Tom Leighton's graduate parallel algorithms classes.
When I first saw the headline, I said to myself, "are they kidding?"
In this age of MMORPG's, where issues with game balance can be tweaked monthly, the game universe can be expanded just as often (if not on the fly), and campaigns can involve real-time cooperation among dozens of players, could there really be a thriving market for a pastime as "last-gen" as D&D?
Then it occurred to me, at least with D&D you're actually interacting with real, identifiable people. No griefing, no gold farming, no bots, no avatars with tearing polygons, no server lag to contend with.
Although the drive has higher areal density and a larger cache, it still performs worse than WD's latest 750GB Caviar SE16, which sells at a $0.10/GB discount to the Hitachi 7K1000.
It has been my experience that the general philosophy in China with regard to just about everything is, "If you can get away with it and not get caught then there is nothing wrong with it." There is still loyalty to one's family, but the rest has given way to a general pragmatism born of generations growing up in an oppressive and amoral society which glorifies wealth above all other achievements and encourages exploitation and corruption (not officially per se, but by ineffectual and spotty enforcement).
Is China so unique in that philosophy? That's the question my sister was asking herself as she was driving over the speed limit tonight while listening to pirated MP3's in a BMW financed by her husband cheating on her and his taxes.
I would like to believe your statistics so some of these self-victimizing DUIers would shut up, but without references it's all rhetoric, even if it gets modded up.
This is bullshit; thinly veiled elitism, and I say this as an honors graduate of a top 5 CS program with 10 years of experience utilizing the education that could supposedly get me any IT job. Have you ever spent any time with quality, experienced IT staff? The reality is they are just as hard-to-find as quality, experienced software engineers. For some reason, though, software engineers suffer more from delusions of grandeur.
What you are saying may hold some truth at the entry level and that is only because entry-level IT jobs have a fuzzier skill requirement than entry-level CS jobs. And that may largely be a function of IT being more of a trade field with many specializations possible; CS jobs tend to share the same horizontal underpinnings.
The hard parts of IT are learned on the job, much like the hard parts of software engineering. A fresh CS Ph.D. could be equally worthless as a software architect or IT architect.
How often do you see a classically trained computer scientist (with no IT experience) hired to design and implement worldwide data center operations for an international Internet company serving hundreds of millions of users per day?
About as often as you see a CIO hired to design the search algorithm that's going to be deployed in those data centers.
Any interchangeability of IT and CS for IT jobs goes away after you move up from grunt work. A key difference is that it's easier to bullshit your way into higher-level CS work because society has been conditioned to accept inferior software as the norm. In contrast, when IT doesn't work, companies can't do business, and when the company can't do business, people get fired.
The social problem has an obvious solution: accountability.
If banning of an anonymous ID is the worst any cheater might endure, and they know it, they're going to operate as you would expect someone with impunity to operate.
The obvious solution has obvious problems. The social solution leaves a worse taste in our mouth than cheating. That's why we're chasing it technically.

Your post was so ironic I wish I could mod it +1, Ferric.

Nitpick: if it were a division by zero fault, would it really trigger a bus error, or more likely a ... division by zero error?

You are absolutely correct and I confused Seagate and WD.

Then I could see the market.
Different results.
The Caviar SE16 was not included in the storagereview.com article.
That the Caviar SE16 bested the 7K1000 despite the former being of lower density and smaller cache is the "surprise".
Cliff's Notes:
Although the drive has higher areal density and a larger cache, it still performs worse than WD's latest 750GB Caviar SE16, which sells at a $0.10/GB discount to the Hitachi 7K1000.

This "this" is not that this. That "this" is this but this "this" is This. Got that?
