Where I work we run two StorageTek tape libraries (9740 and an L700). StorageTek has a phenomenal customer support record with us. For the littlest issues with either tape library, they will have a tech on-site that very day.
Combine this with Sun's excellant on-site customer support and it's a match made in heaven.
If manufacturer's create a battery that lasts for years...how is that good business?
Right now, if you use items that suck up a lot of battery power, you have to buy more. That's more profit for the manufacturer.
If they produce a product that you only have to buy ever 3 years, then either the manufacturer will lose profit as less batteries are being sold or the cost of these batteries will be so enormously high that it'll be out of consumer range prices.
Imagine if the razor companies created a blade that lasts for 3 years. Fat chance! Blades are their cash cow!
Yeah, it's a pretty box that has a big number by the word Watt.
I don't know this power supply and it may be solid. But one thing most PSU manufacturer's keep hidden is the temperature that these's PSU are tested at. Some boast Watts of over 500, but at temperatures of 25 C.
The hotter your PC is, the lower the Watts your PSU puts out. It was something I learned before by nVidia's latest videocard.
I went with PC Power and Cooling for the reason that they display the Watts AND the temperature that it runs at.
Some of us don't normally bounce around from competitor to competitor just to get the lowest price. I've been using Netflix for over 2 years now with nothing but fantastic service. And that's the reason why I'm staying with them.
I really don't give a crap if Blockbuster is cheaper, Netflix has been good to me so I'm staying loyal to them.
I got tired of fixing my family's computer from spyware and trogans and whatever seeped through from using IE and Outlook.
Even my girlfriend's family's computers were completely toasted. I cleaned upi their system and taught them why they were catching all these bad things from the internet. i installed Firefox and taught them how to use it properly and how to regularly run spyware removal programs.
If I spend this amount of time teaching them this, it saves me many hours later from having to re-clean their systems.
If Microsoft released applications that protected users from all these intrusions, then I wouldn't care which programs they used.
"I am pleased that the House has passed this bill, which takes us forward in the fight to prevent the most egregious form of piracy--the illegal copying and unauthorized distribution of 'prereleased' works," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, said after the vote.
Wait till the day Steam no longer exists on the internet.
Then let's see how well you can install HL2.
Without Steam, there's no core files.
I still play games made 5 to 10 years ago. Space Quest 5 anyone? Ultima Underworld? Diablo? The reason I can still play them is that I have the entire game right there.
I sure hope Valve has a contingency plan in place if this ever happens.
Out if curiousity, what constitutes going around the world?
I mean, if I took the route of Canada to England through northern Russia, to Alaska and touchdown back to Canada, would that be considered around the world?
Cause I would expect that following the equator around the world would add a much larger amount of travel.
The proper way would have been to do a job search before you quit your job. If you're already employed but want to move on, secure yourself first by having a new job lined up before turning in your notice.
Yeah, I'm sure it really sucks the direction your current job is going but unless your skills are amazingly solid or your name is Linus Torvalds, chances are you're about to have a lot of free time on your hands with no solid income for a while.

Dude, what the hell article are you reading? That's like several stories ago.
But here's the catch...
