It does go against "common sense", but a positive attitude won't improve your prospects but it stops you being an annoying shit while you're dying. Which in itself may actually lengthen your survival, after all no-one is going to hold the pillow over the head of happy gramps, but they'll be lining up to do it to curmudgeonly gramps.
Studies have shown prayer doesn't help either. It helps to know you are being prayed for, but blinded prayer doen't help.
Perhaps the thought underlying that teaching (and this is something I'm guessing at) is that the sulphur impurities in fuel more readily form oxides when burnt, and as a part of the overall mix of exhaust gases, nitrogen oxides didn't contribute much.
However (if this is indeed the case) this may be different for different fuels and different combustion temperatures.
I wasn't trying to be smart or anything, and I re-read your comment many times to make sure I didn't misread anything.
I work in a large hospital so I get the whole PACS and Dicom thing. Absolutely nothing is hardcopy anymore, but by Zeus those PACS systems are expensive to licence.
Anyway, there'll always be areas where one protocol or another is kept on long after it fades from general view. The whole "USB 3 is king" thing is just about connecting peripherals like HDDs to desktop PCs.
>>if I multiply the number 3.14159, which has 6 significant figures, by the number 2.0, which only has two significant figures, the result is only 3.2.
I think it must bother him, which is why his posts begin with "Haha". I was using iTunes when it was Soundjam because it organised things well and I was able to create playlists with just a few clicks.
Using "drag and drop" means creating multiple copies of files if you want to rearrange them out of their original folder structure into, say, a playlist.
I'm sure some people think drag and drop is a great way to organise an MP3 player, just like some people will navigate their PC via a command line rather than clicking a few icons.
So who buys them? Apple fanboys? Given the Mac market of 5% when the iPods were released, and fanboys only make up a small percentage of the market, how has Apple come to dominate (1) the MP3 market every which way and (2) the downloadable music market?
Yep, must be all those fanboys and college-aged chumps. Everyone is stupid except you.
I rang our insurance company about our solar hot water system (and I asked about future solar power generation panels) and as long as the roof trusses were rated to cope with the weight, they were OK with that and it wouldn't cost us any more. We'll see what they say when the first hailstorm comes through...
You may like to wait, but FW is deader than a dead thing.
Two things FW gave you that USB didn't when it came to DV. Control of the camera's mechanism (so you could seek for the spot on the tape you wanted to capture from) and isochronous capture so you could be assured of capturing the audio in sync with the video.
Video cameras now are going to card-based storage and video files are just that: files. This means you can access the storage via USB just like it's another external drive and you don't need to be able to control the camera. The ability to grab at file at random means you just copy all the data over, not stream it.
A lot of pro equipment still relies on firewire, but that, too, is changing. It won't change for a while because professionals tend not to change their equipment just because they read about something really cool on Engadget. For the pros, there's FW cards. Audio guys may still need the low latency that FW provides, but that may change with USB3.
Apple was a bit late to the (USB camera interface) party but the release of iMovie 8 (crappy though it was) was a sign - the future is AVCHD files grabbed over USB.
FWIW, I have a FW camera at home, two at work (just bought one 6 months ago), a FW deck at work (the 3 cams and the deck are Sony) and an analog -> digital converter with a FW interface.
I'll keep using FW at work for the foreseeable future because it's solid. And I have all that equipment. My next camera at home, though, will be AVCHD stored on SD cards with a USB interface.
I will lament the passing of FW like I lamented the passing of ADB, SCSI and parallel ports: part "meh" and part "damn, I have to buy new stuff to go with my new stuff".

I think that's a dangerous attitude to promote. All this will result in is the "information (and pop songs) wants to be free" crowd gunning down successful popstars just so they can get their mitts on their songs for free in 50 years time.
A fixed term for copyright will at least allow the popstars to live. Won't someone think of the popstars?
Also, I checked out the five reviews WD linked to. Of those 5, 3 were identical. So of the three actual reviews, a throughput of about 10 MB/sec was the norm. Not exactly Gigabit speeds.
My brother sells mowers (and other things) at a cheapish place
Hey bro, I said, I want a mower for $200 like (discount store) sells. And give me a family discount.
Don't have 'em, he said. But we get lots of people coming in saying their $200 mower (from discount store) is crap and they want a good mower, so they buy one off me and they pay $500.
So I bought a $500 mower. And I'm happy.
I'm starting to sound like the governor off Benson...
Mind you, I didn't get a spectacular deal from him for the iPod Touch...
Linux may have come a long way in three years, but a business can't just up and change to a new desktop operating environment just because it has passed some arbitrary point for usability. I work in an organisation with about 75 000 employees and we use a frozen XP standard operating environment. Change, though not impossible, is difficult enough that is doesn't happen "just because". This may explain why we still use Novell...
In Qld, we could pop over the border to NSW for HC mags. In fact, I first saw beastiality on a mag purchased from NSW. "Keyhole Bookshop" was the name of the purveyor, IIRC. And the magazine's depiction of German women was quite interesting.
FWIW, I saw Bad Taste and even Caligula in Queensland. And I saw a really strange Debbie Does Dallas in SA - all the HC stuff was removed by zooming in on the video so you couldn't see much except Debbie's ear moving side-to-side, accompanied by gurgling and slurping noises. And some cheesy 70s porn music. Oh wait...

As for the 'having faith you can jump over a large gap', I humbly submit this: http://despair.com/limitations.html
And I mean this post in the nicest way possible.
I have two of them in a G4 Mac tower and they've been fine since the day they were installed.
>>having a naked picture of yourself sitting on the Internet
A picture of me 'sitting on the internet'. Sounds like a whole new class of pr0n pic.

I suppose that's better than napalm.
Not where I come from :-)

If I multiply 3.14159 x 2.0, I get 6.3.
Maybe. BillG also had the whole "richest man in the world" thing, too. That usually gets people's attention.

You might want to check that maths.
I'd whip you with my Pear Anjou cables, but I've just finished burning them in and aligning the natural resonance using my interocitor.

"Remote access software - Access your files anywhere, anytime using MioNet® remote access services from WD. "
I don't like the sound of requiring a third-party 'service' to access files over the internet. Do they still block certain filetypes from being transferred?
