"And what happens when government employees bring "private ownership" to work in a racist attitude?"
I'm not sure what this has to do with the website. I know they read it on a forum, but if it was a weekly flyer or local bar the cops were getting their material from and bringing that to work in the form of racist jokes and comments wouldn't they still be suing work because co-workers had created a hostile work environment?
I don't see how they can enforce the website being taken down, but the owner could be fired if he works in the department. Think if it in another way: if I was running a porn site and told all my co-workers and they all surfed it from work and the female employees complained I would expect to lose my job.
That's pretty vague, is that the best example they have? That's not even clear enough to identify who they're talking about, no race was mentioned. The could be talking about Muslims of the terrorist variety since I'm pretty sure Muslims fall into a "minority" category in Philadelphia.
"Why should they shut it down in the first place, or have me pay the cost?"
don't worry, apparently they're getting a great deal on helicopters: "where they were watched by a police helicopter for about 15 minutes.....A police spokeswoman said the helicopter was deployed for less than 20 minutes at a cost of about £200."
That's roughly $400, which is a great deal considering you have the pilot, fuel, oil, and the maintenance since they're not like cars, ignore maintenance on a car and you pull over, ignore it on a helicopter and you crash the 2 million dollar helicopter. Every flight you have to check everything again to make sure everything's working right, and every so many hours of flight time the engine must be overhauled.
And I don't buy their time-line. If they watched for 15 minutes, was the trip there and back to the hanger only 5 minutes? Unless the house is on a airfield it'd take longer than 5 minutes to get there an back, especially since helicopters don't really travel that fast, few go over 150mph, even Apaches only go 192mph.
I'd say it easily cost double or triple that quote.
"Because I haven't found a big box retailer who has near the selection as local game shops."
No matter, just wait: of course the developers should shut up, they only have to put up with it until the next generation of consoles, so another 2-3 years before everything is download only.
Games on the new PSP Go are all downloaded. There is no drive, just 16gb built-in and expandable cards, so that means places like GameStop and GameFly have about 10 years before they vanish because there's no doubt the next Playstation will also be all download and I'm sure the Xbox will follow suit. I've already stopped renting games because you can download demos, and if the demo is good enough I just go buy the game.
Cutting out the rentals and used games is smart for Sony because it means more sales. Only problem I see with this is you can't let your friends borrow games anymore, but I guess Sony doesn't think that matters.
If Sony was really smart... and I mean super uber l337 smart... they'd figure out a online game rental system, where you pay a few bucks and get a game for a few days or follow Netflix movie idea and pay a set $10/month and play all the older titles. I don't see that happening because I don't think Sony's that bright, but if they did I have my $$$ ready. It's more $$$ for everyone though, because now you're leasing the games instead of selling them, and little Timmy's mom would probably be more willing to pay $5 to let him play for 5 days then $65 to buy the game that little Timmy might play for 5 hours and throw in the corner (of the hard drive).
Come on Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, show me you're smart, give us the holy grail of software money making: lease us the software already!
"Actually, for a 30 year mortgage at current interest rates, 1 years payments (if you include PMI and tax payments to an escrow account) would be around 1/10th the cost of the house. I'd be guessing the original poster didn't get the sweetest interest deal either, since it was an "investment" property, and banks tend to consider those higher risks.
It's still a stretch, but in some areas of the country, if you add vandalism to it, it's at least plausible."
Yep, got screwed buying it at the height of the market bubble, and the vandalism was the copper pipes (copper's valuable, or it was) and A/C sitting outside.
I completely agree! The whole thing never made sense to me either
"How is it that in 2 years and 3 months, you couldn't come up with the interest on the 3 month's payments?"
I don't recall explaining how Wells Fargo calculated interest, so how would you know if it made sense or not?
" you were refunded 1 year's worth of payments, and that the house was put on the market for 1 year's worth of house payments. I'm going to have to call B.S. on this one."
Like I said, I don't understand it either.
"home went back on the market for 1/30 of its original price is a little much."
wait... what? Do you think they take the value of your house, divide it by 30 years, and that's what they charge you per year? Wow that'd be great, wouldn't it? So a $300,000 house divided by 30 would be 10 grand a year, or a $833/mo payment. Everyone would own million dollar houses.
"And Wells Fargo would have been better off working with him for payments rather than having something sitting on the market doing nothing."
I tried working with them on the interest but they wouldn't hear it. Not sure how they calculated it, but being 3 months late somehow gathered interest worth 6 months of payments within 2 years. The people I talked to on the phone couldn't explain how they calculated it either, just that it had to be paid.
I was living in it until it was foreclosed upon, hence the "much of the $$$ was spent on purchasing and moving to a new house." I bought it for investment and I had renters in and out of it, but whenever it was empty I'd move in and make repairs, spruce it up a bit, etc.
It's a shame banks and buy and sell mortgages at a whim and the borrowers have no say because some lenders can be really great (like Avelo and Litton) and others complete idiots (Wells Fargo).
You forgot reason Five, which is stated in the article: "we decided to create the ultimate RAID array, one that should be able store all of your data for years to come while providing much faster performance than any individual drive could."
If this is suppose to be storing data for years, why am I dropping $1,000 on it today? Why am I (or anyone) buying "the next several years" of storage all at once? Did I win a huge settlement from suing myself?. Did I win the lottery? Did the economy suddenly rebound?
And in several years when you actually use all 10 tb you're gonna be the douche with twelve old 1 tb drives while you're buddies are cruising along with single 5 and 7 tb drives that they spent $100-$200 on.
Wouldn't it make more sense to buy more when I fill what I already have? What's the point of having 10 TB with 95% of it empty? Spending a grand on storage that will sit largely empty for several years all the while burning up electricity to keep those drives running doesn't make sense. Might as well leave them in the box and lower the electric bill a bit for a few years.
Am I'm surprised they even bothered with testing RAID 0. 12 drives, no redundancy? Good way to lose 10 TB of data if you ask me.
Just for shits and grins I decided to look up what drive the $85 they spent on a 1 tb drive would have bought 5 years ago, to see how this article would have gone if it was July 2004. Looks like they'd have twelve 120gb SATA drives or twelve 160gb IDE. The IDE drives would be sadly outdated by now and the SATA drives would have given you 1.2 TB of storage all for $1,000. I imagine we'll be looking at this article 5 years from now and thinking "WTF were they thinking??"
I had a investment property, and the loan was sold to Wells Fargo. Several years ago I fell behind three months, so we reached an agreement and I started paying monthly again but that 3 months was always over my head. Well 2 years later the they wanted the 3 months + interest. I paid them the 3 months but didn't have the payment for the interest and continued making monthly payments. 6 months later they again wanted the interest. Told them I didn't have it so they foreclosed, but first they surprised me with a check equaling a year's worth of payments. I was told it was because they misappropriated my payments.
Two months after the house was foreclosed they put it back on the market for about 1 year's worth of payments. It's been on the market for nearly a year now.
Had they simply let me continue making payments they would have already made more than the price they're selling the house for. I'd love to just go pay for the house with cash they sent me, but it's been vandalized since and much of the $$$ was spent on purchasing and moving to a new house.
I don't think anyone at Wells Fargo knows what's going on. As a tax payer I'm disappointed that my $$$ went to a bank that wastes money.
"Since anything you're taught about computers is mostly obsolete in a few years..."
You're not a programmer, are you? I ask because no programmer would ever say that.
The C programming language came out in 72 [wikipedia.org], and C++ came a few years later [wikipedia.org]. Both are in the top three most popular programming languages [tiobe.com] "based on the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors" and they make up 25% out of the top 20 languages in the list. Although the number one language, Java, makes up 19%, it "derives much of its syntax from C and C++" and Java came out in 1995 [wikipedia.org].
Other sources say C is still responsible for nearly 50% of new open source projects, followed by Java with 28%. [theregister.co.uk]
So even if you took a programming class 30 years ago it would still very much apply today.
Can a person who is genetically pre-disposed to be fat be skinny? Of course, I've seen biggest loser, but they'll have to workout 12 hours a day and eat less than 1300 calories to reach the same size other people take for granted.
And I'm very tired of skinny people going "I have self-control, you fat people don't". Um, no. I see your shopping carts skinny people, it's not stuffed with celery and carrots and spinach, it's the same thing as the fat people. And I see the skinny people buying pizzas and super-sized meals too. I've dated girls (on/.?? I know right?!) who could eat McD's 4 times a day and stay 112 lbs and never get off the couch, and other girls who ate vegetables and soup and gym 3 times a week and couldn't break 200 lbs.
I gained 60+ lbs recently. I stopped running 5 miles a day and stopped eating 2 lbs of spinach daily and ate "normal" food. That's all it took.
I will say this: if you're fat and you don't run 5 miles a day then don't whine "it's genetic, I can't help it". You can help it, you're just not trying. Until you can run 5 miles in a hour (12 minute miles, a slow run) everyday you can't say "I can't help being fat" because you're not even trying.
"Only a utterly complete fool would think the standalone GPS is going the way of the DoDo bird."
Duh, It's going the way of the dodo bird just like the mp3 player! Cellphones have been doing a great job playing mp3s for years, and who buys a ipod anymore? Anyone? No one that's who!
Plus how are all these soccer moms gonna txt on their phone AND see the driving directions? They'll need 2 phones!
but in all seriousness, I put Garmin 7-day trial on my Blackberry last night to try it out. It's slow and no where near as easy to use as my tomtom. It's great in a pinch or if i'm in someone else's car, but who are they kidding with the $100 price tag? You can buy a full-fledged Garmin GPS for $99, why pay $100 just for the software alone?
I really can't believe this made it on Ask Slashdot. Shouldn't the requirement be to get on Ask Slashdot that someone can't find it with a 10 second google search?
"Testing is about WHAT THE STUDENT HAS LEARNED NOT WHO THEY ARE CALLING HAS LEARNED!!!"
Agreed. I can see it now:
Student: Mom, what's 2+2?
Mom: Now timmy, we went over your math homework yesterday, I know you know the answer to that.
Student: Yeah but I forgot
Mom: Timmy, you're 19 years old, it's about time you learn basic math
Student: I can't mom, the teachers let me call whoever I want for help so I'll probably never learn
If anything I'd rather the teachers let them use Google. At least then they're learning how to use a search engine and a valuable research resource, and judging by some of the dumb "Ask Slashdot"s lately we really need to teach people how to use Google.
"Suppose you are driving your car down the road and I swerve to the right, then back to the left as if I was going to ram into you. I stay in my lane but you react and swerve to avoid me and hit a pedestrian killing them. Am I at fault at all? I didn't break any laws, the pedestrian is dead by you hands, not mine. Now suppose this has happened before and I was actually attempting to make people swerve into pedestrians. Am I still innocent, I haven't broken any laws."
No, you'd be charged with vehicular assault, a felony. Just like kids that street race, if you're racing someone and they crash and kill someone, you are also charged. So if you're swerving all over the road and cause a death, you will be charged.
"My response would go something like, "I'm pretty sure it's illegal for you to ask me this, so I'm gonna just leave this section blank.""
And they'll say "NEXT!"
Hope someone talks some sense into them, because if other companies pick up on this it could be very difficult to get a job in the future without my boss reading my emails.
Also, can I change my password... ever? Guess I could give them a fake password, and when they try it I could say "yeah my ex got my password and caused a big mess, had to change it, here's the new (fake again) password."

"Replace that external hard drive with a service like Amazon S3"
I don't know about you, but I'd be a old man before my internet connection would upload a terabyte worth of data.
If it's only a few gigabyte and you might get away with uploading to Mozy. Anything larger than that and you're back to hard drives.
"Another hard drive?"
Yes. Tape has not kept up with hard drives, in fact they're now more per gigabyte than hard drives, very different from 90s prices. Even just the tapes themselves are more expensive than hard drives per gigabyte, and that doesn't include the thousands it can cost for a multiple terabyte autoloader tape drive.
There is really nothing else as cheap as hard drives per gigabyte. I use a external USB2 SATA dock and swap a few SATA drives. And honestly I'm not all that worried about backing up with modern operating systems. We've come a long away from Windows 95, where I was restoring from my Eagle Travan-3 1.6/3.2gb once a month.
