Amiga, how I miss you. I think I'd be disappointed if I got another Amiga, though; the world has moved on.
Hardware v. software RAID

Basics of RAID

No mention of hardware versus software RAID? I know the article is geared towards noobs, but I think they should've mentioned the pros and cons of hardware v. software.
Sure, heat protesters and cause them intolerable pain. Why not just get out your rifles and shoot them? Most of those hit will probably just be injured and can recover. Do we know how people will recover from rapid internal heating?
I can agree with most of those issues, but the Taskbar works well for me, and I often do have dozens of windows open at once. I dragged the top of my Taskbar up a bit so the clock in the system tray would show time/day/date all the time, instead of just the time. That makes a lot more real estate in the Taskbar, and I work at 1600x1200, so I don't miss the real estate taken from the rest of the screen. With a multi-row Taskbar, dozens of windows are easy to navigate.
"It's no different if I went out and bought a Microsoft program and started sharing it with everyone in my apartment. It's theft,' said Kena Lewis, spokeswoman for Bright House Networks in Orlando."
Microsoft allows you to share it's products with everyone in your home, at least as long as those products are installed and used on only one computer. Windows is regularly used as a multi-user operating system. Isn't that sharing a Microsoft product?
How's the government going to implement a clipper chip in these drives? I'd expect the US government to block this technology because terrorists might use the drives.
will make me appear to be a genius! On another note, though, I saw a lot of comments saying that Einstein's brain was a more or less normal size, not particularly large. What difference does that make? Einstein didn't exhibit the only kind of intelligence out there; his intelligence was but one element in a large array.
I came back from lunch today to find my coworker across the aisle using Netscape 8.0. He'd just installed it before I walked in, but said that he uses Netscape 7 at home.
That's why SafeSearch filtering is enabled by default. I don't know that the filtering is applied to the pre-fetched results, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be when it's applied to all the non-pre-fetched results.
I find it hard to believe that you can't find *some* economical solution to your bandwidth restrictions, but what do I know?
Like some others, I think you should provide some torrents for download. Even if some of your visitors can't use bittorrent for whatever reason, other visitors who use the torrents will ease your bandwidth use.
I don't like QuickTime. The plug-in and player always start up with the volume set to maximum, and if I accidentally start up the QT plug-in in my web browser it hijacks the focus so that the keyboard shortcuts I usually use with my browser don't work until I grab the mouse and click on the browser's title bar.
I like Real media even less than QuickTime media. I simply won't download Real media.
My preference would be for MPEG files (I don't care if it's MPEG 1, 2, or 4) with AVI files as my second choice. The XviD codec seems like a good choice to me. So your visitors may have to download the codec? QuickTime and Real Player need to be downloaded, too, so what's the difference?
Surely that bouncing smiley face would've "rolled-back" the prices after a couple days. The crooks could've obtained the merchandise for the same price *legally* if they'd only waited a couple days!
This sounds like a browser vulnerability such that you'd be safe if you were using Opera or Firefox, for example. Everything in the articles says it's an OS vulnerability, though. What I want and need to know is: Am I safe if I'm using Firefox as my default browser?
The highway will be up to a quarter-mile across, and include separate lanes for passenger vehicles, large trucks, freight railways, high-speed commuter railways, and infrastructure for utilities including water lines, oil and gas pipelines, electricity, and broadband.
Why stop there? How about pedestrian lanes (for cross-country hikers), bicycle lanes (for Lance Armstrong), and motorcycle lanes? 1/4 mile across?! Sheesh!
The added engines allow the rocket to launch 50,800 pounds (23.040 kilograms) of payload into low Earth orbit and 28,950 pounds (13,130 kilograms) to geosynchronous orbits...
That would seem to be (roughly) metric ton(ne)s; there are 2,204.623 pounds per metric ton.
For comparison: 1 ton, gross or long (same as a British ton) = 2,240 pounds 1 ton, metric = 2,204.623 pounds 1 ton, net or short = 2,000 pounds

I said no text!

That is, IMHO.
These runways would make incredible settings for autocross courses (google SCCA Solo). I'm sure it won't happen, but I can dream.
Sweet! Does this make anyone else think of Johnny Mnemonic, where data was stored in a courier's brain?
<keanu>Whoa!</keanu>

Mmm... Photorealism...
Maybe they belatedly realized that Apple might try to sue *them* for using the Tiger name, so they're launching this suit in self defense.

Just because broken pixels are a common occurrence doesn't mean they aren't broken! Hmph.

That's my two cents.

I don't seem to get much Vioxx spam, but maybe it's just not getting past my server's spam filters. I do get a lot of spam for Rolex replicas.
I get a ton of this spam, and only a fraction of it gets blocked by my mail client or server!

Boeing is a US company, but Nick (and the BBC) used the British spelling of tonnes. What kind of tonnes are we talking about?
The space.com story provides some more useful numbers:
That would seem to be (roughly) metric ton(ne)s; there are 2,204.623 pounds per metric ton.
For comparison:
1 ton, gross or long (same as a British ton) = 2,240 pounds
1 ton, metric = 2,204.623 pounds
1 ton, net or short = 2,000 pounds
Americans also need to worry about US police enforcing copyrights held by entities in other parts of the world.
Coral seemed to be a good idea, but it seems to get /.ed almost as quickly as the original link(s).
Maybe I should clean my apartment before I worry about color-changing LEDs for my bed...
