It is important to remember that Comcast subscribers pay extra for a Comcast supplied wifi cable modem (at least in Minneapolis).
Really silly of people not to notice.
100 TB isn't a lot of storage by today's standards. It hasn't been for a long time.
Okay, if you are at a small company, perhaps, but for the big companies, 100 TB is small.
You really haven't been paying attention. In MN we had a bridge fall down. Then after a bunch of running around, several more bridges were closed before they could also fall down.
More recently, we had a huge number [40+] of 'pavement failures' during two days of rush hour. And this is in a state that actually puts some money into basic infrastructure.
Caprica and Stargate Universe are part of the reason I dropped cable entirely. I can't see myself paying for any of the stuff that they currently produce.
Funny you should ask. Scientific data from the early dawn of home computers. Okay, so it was really the late 70s. Data that was recorded by an Apple ][, not an Apple ][+ or any other extension.
It was for my dad, stuff in the Physics world had churned and the ancient data (generated by a now dead post-doc) was of interest. So I called my friends with old gear. It was a several step manual process that involved several ancient Apples ][s, Proto-Macintosh systems, and finally an Macintosh laptop that had both a 3.5" drive and a USB stick.
I was much more successful than my dad thought I would be, his geeky son tends to be who he turns to when all others fail him, and he complains about not being able to do something with computers to my mom, and she makes him call me!:-)
The outcome has been somewhere between 3 and 7 published papers. All off of work that seemed to be dead end at the time.
It was sort of interesting seeing just how little space was taken up by the boxes of old Apple ][ disks when copied to a modern flash drive.
All you need to do is get 11 spare wireless routers and 11 high power antenna's. Don't hook them up to anything. Generate lots and lots of traffic/noise. Make all wireless useless where you live.
After a month or so you won't have anyone else trying to use wireless around you.
Repeat every so often.
It exists. I own one. It has a very high cool factor and a very low practical factor. fun to put it on top of an object with clear space in front of it and type in the air. Add a smoke machine and this thing rocks. I just wish it was possible to remap the keys to different shapes/pictures.

P.S. I saw the csi miami episode, googled for it, and purchased one before the episode finished.

I think that it is a great idea to make people pay for Fox News. Perhaps then fewer people will actually watch and parrot it!

McGruff was replaced with a cheaper actor. The original McGruff works for a call center for a large HMO these days.
ASUS makes a wonderful 1920x1200 resolution monitor.

So... what's the link to her new party? :-)
Virtuality. Sadly it died on Fox. Looked promising.

Sounds like the WalMart way.
Well, every time I shop at Target, I'm a guest there.
LAN. Much less cool than mis-reading it as VAN. 37 IP addresses in a van. now that would be cool.
I'm going to have to go watch Chinatown again. FAIL if you don't understand the reference.
I stripped the Windows protected path out of my Alienware laptop. Runs just fine with Debian. :-)
I wonder if that's why World of Warcraft is down?
Somebody think of the children! End DRM! It is what Fred Rogers would want!

Good to see that that ever effective plan of appeasement is still in use by the UK folks.
Because it is much easier to extinguish the light around you, than to fight the darkness within you.
So instead of building Windos Vista, Bill Gates could have funded the first and second Mars expeditions?
LOL

People watch their sdtv formated movies in the wrong aspect ration all the time. Ever noticed how 'chubby' folks on tv in a bar look? LOL
I like good movies and good music, but I've been having trouble finding any lately.
What does God, err, IBM need with a space station?
