Wait a minute here...you mean we jack up the price of milk to subsidize the farmers and then hand out WIC to subsidize families that can't afford milk for their kids? Is it just me or does that seem a bit, well, screwy?
You know, I'm not sure if I agree or not. On the one hand this may be a case of "when all you have is a hammer"; energy savings drive sales right now, at least according to those funny marketing clowns and so H has a drive aimed squarely at that market. And that market is datacenters for 3.5 in drives. Latency? MTBF? Nah, we got low average power usage bragging rights from our testing, right here! On the other hand, without a comprehensive, large scale redesign of the way datacenters are conceived and built, this piecemeal energy savings is all we've got...and (watch out for flying monkeys) I bet almost all small to medium datacenters won't be in a more energy efficient form until whole ways of thinking change. Then you get into all the funny business: Hey! I've got energy efficient drives that spin down when not in use! And I have virtualized servers so that my hardware is always 85% utilized! Oh, wait.
Now, apply that technology to laptop drives and you have...SpeedStep for drives, whoo-hoo! My whole laptop is going to be see-sawing from just above sleep to full power continuously!
My big question is: can the drives be used during spin up from low speeds? If not, I'm not interested. If they can, then this might be interesting...

Wait a minute; are you trying to tell me that Hotmail is actually meant for something other than forms that require an email address? Sheesh, next you're going to tell me that I shouldn't trust them to protect my personal information...
...you do realize that most people wouldn't see this new feature as a bad thing, right? I mean, not one but two, count 'em, two authorities will tell them it is a good idea. If a powerful corporation and the all powerful government say that it's good, then the best thing most people think they can do is...whatever they are told to do. Not out of resignation. Not out of ignorance. By choice. Power by association is a very, very convincing tool...
So that's why we are driven to choose only one; once you are locked into a platform (language, mate, restaurant) *and only then*, can it begin to fullful it's potential to maximize your happiness! No, really; it's not until you commit and focus deeply on that one platform that you learn not only the basic functionality (keywords / favorite romantic phrases / items on the menu) but the minute details to the point of being able to hack said platform into doing things no one else has thought of yet (I'll let your imagination do the work on this one)...
Let me get this straight: "The Itanium 2 logo, in particular, will only say Itanium Inside"
...Isn't that sort of like a Pentium4 logo just saying, "Pentium Inside"? I mean, the Itanium was the first generation IA-64 cpu...and, architecture arguments aside, by the time it was released it wasn't even competitive. So why the retro label?
Well then, obviously toxoplasma gondii is well on it's way to becoming the dominant life force on earth. All it has to do is make the jump from living hosts to dead (or undead) ones. The question is, when will it find the need to get rid of these pesky salmonella that keep killing it's hosts and who will win?
Brother, have you ever tried to get power management (and therefore heat management) running properly on certain Sony laptops of the 1999-2003 vintage? The ACPI implementation is...quirky, to say the least. It is trivial to run for hours just under the CPU cutoff temperature without the fan turning on, all that heat soaking into the rest of the unit...and then weird things start to go wrong, as the temperature specs for the rest of the system assumed a functioning cooling system.
He was going mad years ago and it made me sad to see him. When I first learned of Alex, he had just begun to be displayed for the media and he looked great. A few years down the road, after he (and his handler) had become media darlings, he had plucked every feather he could. Among parrots, isn't that a sign that things just aren't right?
It's "you're", as in "you are", not "your" as in "Your head is up your"...oh, nevermind, this is Slashdot after all.
Hey! New law: The longer the thread on/., the more likely someone will offer up some obnoxious comment correcting a prior posting followed by, "this is Slashdot, after all"
Yes, but I am talking about the other 95% of the users. Adblock, NoScript and the others are unlikely to get used by the unwashed masses of IE users...My point was that if Net Neutrality fails, the promise of a better "experience" via faster service for more money will likely not be seen by the majority of the users even though someone (user or content provider) has paid for a faster pipe.
Actually, in California, CompUSA was held accountable (or was it Circuit City?). The manufacturer went under and a court held that since the retailer advertised at the after-rebate price ("$xxx.xx - $yy rebate = $zzz.zz low price for you!"), they were responsible for fulfilling the rebates.
Yes, but the funniest part is that although *some* of a pages content will zip right along, it won't be rendered until the slow, cheap ads finish loading!
Hey, we the buying public wanted our $299 PC's and laptops and we got 'em! Why pay for documentation that let's face it is going to be around a lot longer than the system it describes? B'sides, if a PC/laptop lasts three years and then something goes wrong, the average joe or jane is just going to go out and get a new one.
My question is, when you buy a top of the line system are you treated the same way? I'm not talking about the corporate 'buying experience' which is a whole different game...
Are you saying there is something wrong with artificially keeping milk prices so high that the government has to subsidize via WICA because people can't afford milk to give to their kids?
Ah, but the GPL allows that the distribution of source only has to take place when you distribute; ie, you can charge for a product but must make the source available to your customers. My guess is that unfortunately, including the source mods in vehicle's file structure or in the bombs themselves, could be taken as "making the source available" to your "customers"...
Believe it or not, there was a time in American history when lots of people carried guns. Used them to catch dinner, too. Shooting a person was considered bad form.
...I'm thinking more along the lines of the sad state of our infrastructure. All that money shoveled over to H'burton could have been used to fix bridges. May or may not be true, but I'm sure given the recent bridge failure, that it is first on their minds...
Ever since their first beta was available, I felt that *that* was the way MS should have build Vista or Vista+1 from the ground up. Always have a new-install-fresh Registry...think of what that does for performance. The are actually many possibilities that I don't think Altiris has thought of yet, they seem to be in more of a pump-it-up-to-get-the-company-sold mode...
Vastly overcomplicated. Did you try calling the front desk? I bet they would have told you the password. Probably would have brought you a latte, too, for you to sip while you surfed; I've found that B&B's are realy friendly that way.

"Now, IF you had evidence that showed you were not guilty*... then that's a different story."
What you are describing is "guilty until proven innocent"
