color does in mine, but not colour. Not sure why. I don't know if its a spell check in firefox, or something in my fedora install that thinks it should be the Queen's English rather than US English. Valor is wrong, Valour is not. Etc. Irregardless is flagged red, unpossible is not.
So your EDGE card got you 40% off used sticker price? I think mine only says 10% off used games. Did you trade something in at the same time and just not mention it?
I've been using ext3 & LVM with mdadm on a raid5 array that is 6+1par+1hotspare x 1TB drives. I'm just guessing, but I'd guess that that would count as a 'very large partition' yet I've had no problems with journaling over the last year.
Cite a source, or at least.. some kind of elaboration on the "serious issues"
I'd like to read about it, not saying its false or anything, just I've been looking into other options.
Actually that reminds me, a friend of mine from work has a bluetooth handset for his cell phone. It is a big handset from old landline phones. Like the handset on a payphone, just battery powered and connected to his cell via bluetooth.
Its pretty funny, he brings it to work and takes calls on it and customers are like wtf?
Not only iPhone has that function, many other phones have it. I have a Sony Ericcson w810i that is like 2 years old that does it, I think I read the Android does it, my gf's palm has it.
Its probably got a java port or something so many phones can do it, as long as you can get a data connection through gprs/edge/3g/evdo/whatever
This is true, most of my PS2 games were 7.99-14.99 since they weren't the really popular games and I was able to wait like 2 years to try them.
Counter example though, ChronoTrigger for SNES is probably unfindable in stores, but last time I did see it, maybe 9 or 10 years ago, it was more than retail to buy; like $74.99.
That is a very rare occurrence though, Very few games nowadays could get like that, especially since discs are so cheap to press compared to cartridges that the greatest hits thing exists.
Sidenote; Chrono Trigger coming to DS this month will be a most excellent occurrence.
In some situations it may already be illegal to show a movie to a friend. I currently am living on campus at uni and the hall counselor says I can't bring my TV into the lounge and watch a movie with other people living on the floor because of 'copyright issues'
I think that's stupid and possibly bogus, but I guess it could possibly count as public exhibition that those FBI warnings warn about.
I guess if you wait a year and a half, you could pay 30-50% less; but of course, by then retail will have shrunk by about the same amount the used price did. It takes too long for the price to drop enough for a game I want to play to come out; buying used really only helps when you can get an additional discount on used, or are getting an older game.
I would imagine that non-compete clauses would have some kind of expiration date. It would be completely insane for someone to sign a neverending non competitive agreement in their field of expertise.
Yes. It was a Charity Auction, not a regular donation. An auction like that would have advertised the charity it was going to. Signage and labels with the CCF's logo/name on it at the auction site would seem like the CCF endorsed the auction.
The problem isn't with the funds, but the fundraiser event.
Some of Antec's power supplies, like the True Control II-550 have a motherboard fan power and a few dedicated 4 pin molex fan only plugs. The motherboard plug lets the power supply use the motherboard temperature readings to adjust the voltage to the attached fans.
It also comes with an optional 5-1/4 bay panel with 4 dials that let you control minimum fan voltage, vcore, and one other voltages.
I guess not exactly the same as direct motherboard control, but then you don't need like 4 chassis fan headers on the board to achieve a similar effect. If you have those 3 position Low/Med/High fans antec sells, they suggest setting it to High if using the TrueControl II to control them.
Yeah, math related brain fart I'd think. Can see how they got it though, since 8 + 8 = 16, and 8 + 8 + 8 = 24. 8/24 being 33%.
So I guess, the difference between the new number and old number is 33% of the new number is what they are saying, which is a pretty stupid and non-intuitive way to compare numbers. Most people, as above, would see 16 + 50% * 16 = 24 as a 50% increase.
That is a really excellent feature for ZFS. I'll have to look into that when I'm ready to ditch these drives. Just read today about the WD GP drives retarded load unload cycling every 8s and saw with smartmon that one of my set has over 550,000 load cycles over 6342 power on hours, when the drives specs show the lifetime as 300,000. I expect that drive in the set to fail soon, and I don't plan to buy this green power garbage again.
My usual speed via FTP transferring onto the RAID array is between 45 and 55MBps. Not saturating the link as you said. So I was wrong above saying it was a bottleneck. But its still fast enough for any and all i/o I use the array for. Definitely faster than a 100Mbps link though, which is fast enough to stream most non-raw video streams.
I run a raid5 with 1TB disks. Growing the array from 3 to 4 took around 4 hours, 4 to 5 took maybe 8 or 10, 5 to 7 took something like 30 hours I guess.
But that's growing from a previous capacity to a larger capacity.
Using mdadm to fake a failure by removing and adding a single drive, the recover time generally was 4-5 hours.
Wasn't aware of that, thanks. I'll have to dig into it. At least they're in RAID5 so unless I lose 2 together or a second before I can recover the first I'm ok. From the thread it seems like the expectable lifetime of the drives always on would be around a year.
And as below, yeah it should have been Gbps not GBps.:p
I have 7 of the WD 5400-7200RPM "GreenPower" 1TB HDs in a raid5 array that I access only through FTP and SMB.
I suppose 5400RPM is slow in terms of transfer and seek time, and being a software RAID5 set managed in software via mdadm likely also reduces the speed of the array. However none of that speed decrease is readily apparent due to the relative bottleneck of the 1GBPS ethernet connection.
I assume that drives of this size primarily would see similar use as the drives I use. Given the experience I've had, I agree that the speed of the drive probably doesn't matter so much. I doubt many people would use a 1.5TB drive for their OS or swap space, especially if speed mattered. The speed people probably would be using some ultra wide scsi drives or some other speed oriented drive, perhaps the raptor line.
But if they just release the discs with the two sentences from the Koran, and just patch the songs out, they'll have to worry about being hot coffeed/manhunted..
That's probably why they want to restamp all the discs. Sad really.
They don't have a copy of the material to submit to the Copyright office, their local machine crashed and the web host has the only copies of the content in question.
Even faster, rar the movie. Or if its already rarred/zipped/whatever, split it into parts. If already in parts, group them in an outer archive.
Whatever really. Unless they're going to try and decompress any archive containers, you don't have to re encode or edit frames of videos.

Op must mean 30% off retail 12-18 months later.

Hmm. I Suppose agreements for government/intelligence related clearance would have an nda & non-compete attached that does not expire.
But other than government contracts, I'd expect any private sector work to have a considerably shorter applicable non-compete time.
I would imagine that non-compete clauses would have some kind of expiration date. It would be completely insane for someone to sign a neverending non competitive agreement in their field of expertise.

Cyberspace is my guess, the topic field probably cut it off.
We just need the CIA to pull a black op like in Clear and Present Danger. Drop in a small band of ghosted marines and done.
