Which microsoft tcp/ip stack are you talking about? There are severl. Microsoft used the BSD stack for early versions of of the NT family, but did a complete in house re-write of later versions.
Microsoft included the BSD authors copyright notice. That's all they were required to do. That's how you can properly use BSD licensed material. There was no ripoff. Please learn how the BSD license works.
Does anyone know how complicated the instructions were? Is there any way the people could have thought they were just accessing the site, putting in a URL with their name or whatever at the end of it, and not 'hacking' it to get information they were not allowed to have?
Please publish some secret military information and see if the courts agree with your definition. I'm guessing they will use one more in line with mine.
The Watergate investigation was for the public good. To point out illegal goings on and corruption in the government so that the people might correct it.
That has nothing to do with publishing trade secrets, or your credit card number and pin number. A real Journalist could see the obvious difference.
They weren't doing this for the public good. They were doing it to steal Apple's thunder.
The good that they did was for Apples competitors. They let them know Apples trade secrets so that those competitors could now adjust their plans to out compete Apple.
Just because something is factual, it doesn't make it news.
I could publish your name, social security number, bank account number, credit card number, and pin number. As long as they are accurate, it's cool with you I give them to the whole world, right?
No, because that is private infromation, the release of which does nothing for the public good. It only hurts the person who held it as personal information.
Not every piece of information in the world is 'news' worthy of protection of the press.
No, lots and lots and lots of stuff in the New York Times is not important to me. Most of it isn't. I don't care what's new in the Arts world. I don't read the Business section, etc, etc. But I bet the reports who write the articles for those bits did their research and make sure that what they are publishing is correct as far as they can tell from their research. That's what makes it journalism. The professionalism. Not whether I find that bit important or not.
Real hardware RAID is usually not cheap. Watch out and read a lot of reviews. Oftentimes I've seen cards advertised as hardware RAID, but it was really software RAID being done.
Frankly I don't see the need for the expense of hardware RAID for PVR type stuff. It was your main computer system and you were trying to wring every ounce of performance out if it, it might be worth it to you, but for PVR? I'd go with software.
1,2) Tapes are of course way beyond what is called for in your situation. Tapes are for company servers where the data changes regularly and the system needs to be backed up quite often. Most of the data on your drive probably rarely changes, or changes slowly.
3) It can happen, believe me.
4) Home data can still be valuable and worth protecting.
5) Most of your data probably doesn't change that often, so DVDs would be fine. 100 DVDs can be had for around $50. That's not cheap for a student, but is probably worth trying to come up with when you think of how many hours you might spend trying to recreate that data. So:
1) Toss a DVD in to burn.
2) Go to class.
3) Go back to step one.
It won't be long until you have the bulk of your data backed up. Start with the most precious stuff.
6) Yes, a failing power supply can in some circumstances send a power surge through your system. It doesn't happen that often, but when it does, it can wreck a lot of your equipment. Plus a UPS will stop most but not *all* surges.
7) A good idea.
8) Use either DVDs or extra hard drives that are either offline or in another machine. Don't waste your money on tapes for your situation.
So you are saying you don't have any backups for your data, and you are relying on only one hard drive going bad at a time to keep all your data safe? Ever heard of a power surge from a broken power supply, or lightening strike? Back up your data. If your data isn't that important, then just plug in the new controller and give it a shot.
That's often what is on the menu around here as well, but sometimes I've gone somewhere an there were simply 'out' of a regular dish. They had a big run on orders for that particular dish and were all out of an indgrediant for it until the stores were open the next day. It happens. It's not false advertising, it's being sold out. Happens all the time in stores. Deal with it.
hmm, 1000 wires bundled togeather. Make that 8,000 if the bit/byte is wrong as it looks like from the writeup. That would make a wire bundle the size of a bundle of a several hundred human hairs wrapped togeather (if the thickness of each wire is a good bit less than a hair). That's pretty good size, plus 10 cm long?
That doesn't seem like it would be any volumentric improvement over a double-density DVD for storage. Plus Double layer DVDs are here today and work. This thing would require some new tech designed to write/read to a bundle like that.
The researchers calculate that a 10 cm long microwire can carry out 10 million divisions or cells and in each one of these a byte can be stored. In order to store the byte, each one of these cells is magnetised in one orientation or the other.
Pardon my math, but isn't 10 million bytes 10 Megabytes, not Gigabytes? Isn't the articles claim of data density off a thousand fold?
Really? Did your read the article? He specifically talks about OSX and how the apps from Adobe etc, were really written for pre-OSX OS's and Apple simply made it easy to port those to the new interface. The interface is NOT X-windows which is what all the other *nix's use. Adobe didn't code for a *nix, they coded for OS9-like (etc,) APIs.
A nuke submariner recieves a smaller dose that an airline flight crew or a Navy pilot - though paradoxically he wears a dosimeter while aviators don't.
There is a reason for that. The sky can't suddenly develop a crack or leak and expose him to deadly doses of radiation in minutes.
Likely it was rebels fleeing from an Alliance Heavy Cruiser. As they were slingshoting around the larger star, they decided to launch one of their thermonuclear torpeados into the gas giant orbiting it, triggering the thermonuclear reaction that the proto-star was incapable of initiating on it's own. Luckily for the rebels the unexpected flood of radition from the new star was enough to temporarily blind the sensors of the Alliance Cruiser, allowing them to escape.
Getting scoops is good. Revealing trade secrets is bad. Yes, one can be different from the other. Finding out Jennifer Anniston slept with Jennifer Lopez is a scoop. Publishing the full schematics to Intel's latest unreleased chip is revealing a trade secret. Very different.
Here is a hint for you as a consumer. If you buy a piece of electronics equipment, in 6 months something newer/cheaper/better will be out. Shocker.
This was not for the 'good of the consumer'. It was a way to steal Apple's thunder and feel good because they were the 'first website with the details'.
Nope. When a journalist gets secret information and tries to protect the source, it's usually for the reason that it's information the public has a right, or neeed to know. Someone is doing something underhanded, etc, that the public should know about and have the right to correct or to react to. It's done for the public good.
There is nothing about the release of Apple's internal plans that was 'for the public good'. The only good was for Apple's competitors. They could now see what Apple was planning and react to it.
These publishers and their sources should be hammered by the court IMHO.

Sorry, you do NOT need a license to be a journalist. 'Journalistic License' isn't a piece of paper you get from the government. Wow.
News does have to do with the public good. That's why our founding fathers wanted us to have a free press. Please read some history.

Is the New York Times journalism? Yep. (usually at least ;)
Is the Star paper that you can pick up in your supermaket journalism? No.
Both are on paper media. The media has nothing to do with it. It's all about the quality.
99% of blogs are crap, but there are certain ones that I would say certainly are journalism.

Ahh, good to see they have now fixed that. Now if they will just clarify the bit/byte dispute.

10 Gigabytes in 10 cm long
followed later by:

But that's just my hunch.

Of course it's the best time for eating an icecream cone. That's when it doesn't melt and drip all over your hand.
You mean like this Gigabyte 3D1 (Dual GPU 6600GT) card?
