Heat generation is one problem. you have to speed up and slow down the point several for every half cycle. This is a lot of energy, even assuming it is all on 'springs' you will get some mechanical loss due to friction. This will likely be much more heat and power consumption then a current rotating drive.
What about the cost of many heads? Right now a hard drive is a small number of expensive heads, and a large area of cheap media. This could cause the cost to skyrocket.
I don't know about you, but there are readers from more then one country here. I'm not in the US, and I purposely included MEP (Member European Parliment) to emphasize that this was a general comment.
I have RTFC, I've also read the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I also get pissed off when columnists consider the Charter/Constitution/Human rights laws "technicalities" that let off criminals. Yes maybe they get off because of that, but I'd rather the government be in a struggle to control, then to just let them run the whole country.
I tend to use 6-8 characters. Numbers, upper and lower case letters. so 62^+62^7+62^8 =2.12x10^14 combinations. I think I'm okay for a while. Multicase passwords do HUGE things to the statistics of the problem.
No If you are a member of a democracy you should always make your opinion heard.
Tell your President, Prime minister, governor premier mayor, MP, MEP, MPP, senator congressman, alderman, councillor etc what you want.
Their job is to represent you, and work in the best interest of their consitiuents and the area as a whole. To do this they MUST know your opinions.
If you were them and lots of people write/tell you what they want, don't you think that might influence your stance on issues? If the politicians really thought they wouldn't get re-elected if they voted for the invasion of Iraq, they wouldn't have authorized it. With recall legislation becoming more popular this is even more important. Even Bush would get a little nervous if people started recalling their Republican Governors to replace them with Democrats.
FWIW I emailed my MP (Federal representative) about a do not call registry, his assistant emailed back the letter my MP had previously sent requesting such legislation.
I did some research on wear resistent metal coatings and found they scratched and wore off. (FYI TiAlCN and Boron Carbide worked nicely)
I have trouble believing anyone could be all that scratch resistant, if you want a real test, use a bit of sand or drag it across concrete/brick. I've found many of my CD's got damaged by only a few small sand particles.
And your palmpilot was made where (mine is mexican) My car has over 75k miles and it hasn't had problems. I think they're still building the new beetle (and lots of other VWss in Mexico). Actually I think many of the major carmakers have plants in Mexico.
Yes people fall for this all the time. They would be offended and blame that company.
Look how many people will blindly send their banking details to ANYONE claiming to be a representative of a financial company.
The masses are dumb and believe whatever crap they're shoveled. If you don't believe me, look up numbers on how many think Iraq was behind 9/11. It is really mindblowing considering the CIA has clearly stated there is no link.
Mostly while driving, not many serious ones, but getting rear ended at a red light is somewhat annoying anyway. I've personally been bumped by people who weren't watching while I was walking across the street.
Of course when you're driving a multi ton death machine down the road, you wouldn't want to be caught watching Road Trip and kill someone would you?

Almost as bad as reading, putting on makeup, holding a dog on your lap, or just driving like an idiot. It's scary enough how many friends of mine have been hit by someone on a cell phone.
Any tool can do this. An election gives idiots the power the choose their government. The internet gives idiots the ability to broadcast their views.
Most tools can be used in either good or bad ways. In a free society I wouldn't argue for the arbitrary restriction of a tool that has a negligible downside.
RFID tags are used all over the place. Any time you want good traceability of a process you need to put tracking numbers on or with the goods. Scanning is okay, but a bit trouble prone, RF tags are easy and less picky about the environment you're in.
I'd bet that many of the items you already own used RFID tags, you just don't konw it.
Politics isn't all that simple. I don't like Bush, I think he's stupid, a liar, and quite possibly one of the worst presidents the US has ever had. But remember the president isn't a man, he's a whole team. His administration has made good progress in at least parts of some issues. He isn't as big a protectionist as Kerry, even though there is a lot of pressure to just "Ban Offshoring". I think he's making a mess out of Iraq, but he did a pretty good job in Afghanistan, gaining international support to invade and to rebuild.
As for intelligent and education correlating, I don't quite agree. In your 20's young and idealistic and at college, you see some of the mess and get an idea of how it can be fixed, by voting for these liberal guys. They've got it figured out! They'll strengthen the unions and save jobs, and make the company uncompetative till the US steel industry collapses. Lets build an expensive system of social programs to help the poor. But this is expensive, so we'll raise taxes, leaving less money available to invest in a new manufacturing facility to give those same people jobs. It's never just a simple issue, it's a serious stack of complex trade offs.
How many thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians do you have to kill like this before the world really gets upset with the US. The reports I'm aware of the Russian school hostage crisis crumbled because the hostage takers started arguing over it being wrong to kill children like this. I think the objections in the US would be even stronger.
If the US were to start killing civilians in such a manner, it will breed even more terrorism with the attitude "The US must be stopped no matter the what". And it won't be just the axis of evil saying that, it will be almost everyone.
I don't think "basic interest rates" can give you a very nice gain. I consider 0-5% for an investment poor, under 5-10% is okay, and over 10% is very good, but I'm conservative. Assuming google did have 2 billion in the bank, at even 10% bank interest, that is only $200 million, with a market cap of 40 billion, that is works out to 0.5%, not even enough to cover the brokers commission when you buy the stock.
The price is only determined by what someone is willing to sell AND buy a share for. If everyone knew it was going to go up a lot more, why would they sell their shares to someone else?
I think it will go up because of momentum investors, but I don't think it's worth 40 billion dollars. This isn't BUD.
No the general population doesn't care, and they probaly won't.
But this doesn't matter, a strong enough demand will make it profitable to supply something that isn't mainstream. Linux users didn't use to be a strong enough group to pull in lots of commercial software, now there are a variety of products, from games to large commercial packages. Same thing with TV, when they realize they can make a profit broadcasting science, they'll do it.
What language issue? Indian english is not a problem to understand once you adjust to the accent. To be fair I have worked with many immigrants from around the world, but adjusting just isn't that hard for me anymore.
Every company does or wants to do this, just not as simplistically simple. Anyone who has enough power in their industry will just do it more obviously. Look at unions, the supply they sell the company is the labour, when your whole business hingest on their labour, they'll give in until the entire company/industry/country feels the pain.
Flip it around and this is just supplier lock in rather then customer lock in.

1.4 million in Quebec
230 thousand in Ontario
I'd say it had a larger effect in Quebec. That and Ontario got their power back faster, which is why we sent power crews to help rebuild.
I haven't closed my eyes, I know what goes on.
It's why I think military action like this should remain a last resort.
