Tape transfer rates are comparitively slow, which leave plenty of room for the computer to carry on it's tasks. Sure it might take all night to do a full back up, but the servers available during that time.
Until you realize that because it is so slow, half of your files have actually changed as they were being written. Since half of your data is now out of sync from the other half, you got a problem.
Backing up the data to a 2nd system helps minimize that. Then from that system, write everything to tape as it won't change.
I'm sorry. You are correct. Given two locations that would have equal reception, they can ask that the better asestheticly pleasing location is used. However, if their is a significant cost increase, say to trench a cable across your back yard, etc, then the more unaesthetic location could be used.
You are correct. An apartment compex owner, a HOA, etc can't say you can't have a dish positioned somewhere due to how it might look. They also can not limit the number of dishes that you have installed as long as all are under the 1-meter limit.
If the community offers the same satellite service and the pricing is not unreasonable, they can deny you the right to install the dish. Say you want DirecTV and they have Dish, they can not deny you the right to have a DirecTV dish. If they say thought that you have to pay $20 just for the access to the line then you can install your own.
They can deny you the right to do a penetrating mount. This means no driliing/bolting into a balcony, wall, roof, etc without their WRITTEN permission. This would also include running the line indoors.
Tripod, bucket-o-quikcrete, etc are fine. So is u-bolting to a balcony railing as long as no holes are drilled into their property. As to getting the line indoors, this is the exact reason why inductive couplers for windows/patio doors and flat cable were invented.:)
Satellite pagers work pretty much everywhere. Cellphones don't. Of course if you are likely out of range of a cell phone tower you are also out of range of easily connecting in to check on a server.
Wouldn't the tax rate depend on what county (or city or state or whatever) the store was located in, not where the customer is from? It's not the store responsibility to collect taxes due for other areas.
Yup. This often comes up when refering to card counting. Counting isn't illegal in and of itself, but it can give an advantage to the better over a long period of time. Casions obviously don't want to give the better and type of an advantage over the house so they ask them not to return.
There was an article a while back here from Wired that talked about a bunch of kids from MIT that worked as a team counting cards and had been asked not to return to pretty much every major casino in the country.
Or all those lines written in some since extinct programming language because your state's [DB]MV hasn't upgraded their computer systems since 1981 when the system was put into place.
If you really want to be a stickler, I suggest you start counting years from the very first one.
I'd like to do this, but I'm not real sure where to start. What year is this just so I know for future reference. And did you start counting when the big bang happened, or when god said let there be light?
I'm going to venture a guess and say it looks like it's just an extra piece of rail that they have laying in the center of the track...but I don't know.
It's funny that you should say that as I only have boys, ages 3, 2, and 1. I honestly don't know how I am getting Seventeen. I know that I never requested it on purpose. It's possible I checked a box at some point somewhere so that's why I get it. I don't read it...it usually goes into the circular file soon after I notice it laying around.
Honestly I'm employeed. Most of the trade magazines are from freebizmag.com. A few minutes to make up some personal information and you have a subscription. The others were from FatWallet or Anandtech Forums in the Hot Deals or Free Stuff sections.
The trick is to wait around on FatWallet or Anandtech forums until one of the free subscriptions comes around for Stuff/Maxim/FHM. My Suff and Maxim subscriptions have been paid for until 2009 with nothing more then me filling in my name on a form.
CIO Insight, eWeek, CRM, PC Week, PC World, Dr. Dobbs Journal, Information Week, Info World, Maxim, FHM, Stuff, Golf World, Seventeen, Glamour, InStyle, Wired, EGM, Outdoor Life, Something Music Retailer, Something about Embedded Electronics, American Baby, Parenting, Home Channel New, plus a few others that I probably missed. Of course those are all the free ones I've found. The only sub I pay for is Playboy of course.:)
Which doesn't work very well in a public setting where the PC is basically a kiosk. Think of a museum. Do you really think that every visitor should have their own login?
The defeats the purpose that Firefox is working towards. Create a very extensible browser and only include the minimum. Firefox comes in at about 1/3 the size of it's big brother Mozilla.
Then you can easily add the features and extensions that you want. AdBlock isn't a required feature for the browser to work so it rightfully shouldn't be included.
When you get a new feature in your mail client, it doesn't break every other client on the market.
When the base protocol changes, it would require the client to change it's configuration. It would have been nice if Yahoo would have allowed the old method to still work but they have no obligation to anyone to keep it working. It's their product, they choose how it operates.
When you get a new feature on your Jabber client, it doesn't break every other client on the market.
If a new feature is there within the Jabber protocol, then it's under their control. Jabber just has hooks into the other different IM protocols. Just as it's MSFT's prerogative when then change their SMB protocol and not have to check with the Samba team, Yahoo doesn't have to check with Jabber to make sure it's ok for them to change their own product.
When you get a new feature on a web browser, it doesn't break every other browser on the market.
But when you use those new features on an old client, unexpected results happen equating in some cases of basically breaking the older browesers. Look when HTML 4.0 came out...or CSS...or any of the IE/Netscape/W3C differences.
When Yahoo introduce a new feature on their client, it magically breaks every other client on the market.
And this is Yahoo's problem because? All those other clients reversed engineered Yahoo's protocol. If they paid Yahoo for the specs and to ensure compatibility, then they have a legitimate gripe. Until then it's just another open source vs. closed source problem.
Yahoo also recently released a new version with quite a few additional features (read: fluff). It would be no suprise to me if the additional features ended up breaking the old protocol format. How dare Yahoo make a change to their own product.
Please don't use live radio. I work for a large national hardware chain co-op. I'm on hold frequently waiting for a store to do something and occasionally hear a commercial for a competing store. Think Lowes doing advertising for Home Depot with their hold music.

You are incorrect. It applies to dishes as well.
And to nit-pick, satellite service is an over the air fcc licensed broadcast but I know what you mean.
Satellite pagers work pretty much everywhere. Cellphones don't. Of course if you are likely out of range of a cell phone tower you are also out of range of easily connecting in to check on a server.
This goes along with what I've heard between the two different formats.
Does anyone know of any real-world data benchmarks using real-world drives, preferably with a variety of enclosures with different chipsets?
Beleiving manufacture data for hard drives and chipset speeds always are taken with a large grain of salt.
Seriously, does anyone still get caught by that? I mean, sure it was a big deal in 1995. At least now they always have it on the box or in the specs.
