Exactly, but mounted vertically. Might take three bays actually, but then you could fit a few more than two drives... and perferabbly not so candy coloured. Yeech. Oh, and the linked one only supports RAID 1. Something like this but I can't find more specs on it... http://www.jmr.com/solutions/collateral/serial_ata /SATAStor.pdf .
I always thought it'd be awesome if I could get a raid-array for laptop harddrives. I figure if you inserted them vertically they'd only take two bays and you could probably fit 5 of them... not that I've ever seen that.
But it would be realy nice, and what looks more 1337 than having redundant harddrives? With many nice large tower server cases with 5 or more drive bays open I think this could sell for the homeserver/self-hoste website crowd.
That is really a point worth considering. There are many Dilbert cartoons that use it as a punchline but I never paused to think that that ALL security have a negative productivity aspect (not necessarily net negative, but there is always something negative) to them. Perhaps a standard part of any security procedure should be to list negative aspects because I think people are too idealistic as with "Hey! Lets change passwords everyday!"
Well what they do is that your old computer can't run the newest shiniest version of Windows. You installed it off the lasted crack and itwas pretty but so damn slloooww, so you decide to upgrade... for most people that means buying a whole new computer and thus OEM Windows.
Considering that the shiny new version of Office 5000 or hwatever app supports only the newest Windows and the latest game was written for DirectX++; Joe User upgrades. Maybe not immediately, but soon enough.
Hoe much do you want to bet that Microsfot realizes that most people only pay for Windows when they buy it with their computer thus they will aim to require a new computer for each next majour release?
that rediculous. having such a lousy system must be neglingence or violate some accessiblity laws or something. this is the kind of piss poor design thast can't be tolerated.
unfortunately there is still a few pockets of people that are not in the loop (I met someone who once nearly shat himself when I told him I could send him an invite).
since the file you are loading is.html you still need to change the code to render it properly. if it was loading a png that'd be different. At worst it'll only behave compliant for the Acid test.
what exactly is a battery cycle? the number of time you've charged it? what happens if you charge it at half-full... is it only a half cycle? or is it just estimated?
I had a similar problem after updating the driver on either my router or on my tablet pc... what it turned out was that authentication had been turned on one of them (can't remember which) and everytime it tried to authenticate after connection it would disconnect. Since it's not a windows specific issue but a protocol issue take a look if the patyc changed any settings or something.
If encrypted traffic raises eyebrows and stegnogrpahy is too sensitive why don't you embed PGP into JPEG comments? then if you do a string search all you get is more numbers and if you look at the traffic you just get lots of jpegs and they vary in size depending on quality and codec so the size bloat should be covered well. And I find that I often get crap in my comment for jpgs or random numbers in my mp3 tags so even then there is plausible denibility. Keep the messages short and away you go! Though if they are onto you then the amount of jpegs with comments will be suspicious... but by that point they'll be torturing you in Guantanimo or whatever.
The the problem is that the OSX conventions you linked to are worthless. It's not laziness. The problem is that those conventions are platform specific and thus a Java developer cannot follow all the conventions of all the platforms he is targetting since there are conflicting conventions. So while you can code a perfect OSX in Java, you cannot write a perfectly convention compliant application that is cross-platform )at least not reasonably). You need to do a lot of work any way you slice. Perhaps is Sun created a higher-level API and let the LnF handle it there'd be a chance.
Well mostly because of user expectations based on the OS's gui conventions.
For example Windows uses a File menu that always appears first and contains saive, load, and exit. Settings appear usually in the second menu called "Edit"
Now on MyImaginaryOS I have the convention that the first menu is called "System". It contains program settings and exit the program. The second menu is called "Data". It contains the save, load, export to different format (which is not part of the save dialogue on my imaginary os).
In swing you either code it one way or the other leaving the user using the program on the other system confused since where did their "System" menu go? Or you code two seperate GUI, or you code one gui with a lof of if-OS-then-else-if-os-then statements.
I once saw this article on a Java professional site saying to never use native LnF. Becaues even though the widgets will look the same the program will won't look right. They showed a screenshot of a Java app designed with Windows conventions awith a Mac OS LnF. I only casually used Mac OSso I was like "hmm, looks macky to me." Then next to it they showed an image of the app redesigned to Mac sensibilites. It just felt much more Mac.
To give a Linux analogy: take the old Gnome finder. Give it a KDE theme (keramik or plastiK). It just won't feel right since it lacks that KDE sensibility. That's why the suggestion of the Java professional was to use the Metal LnF. The user might have to get used to the way buttons look, but at least the won't be confused when the menus are layed out differently since they'll *know* they are using a different platform with standards and conventions.
...but logically speaking isn't this just a continuation of "Information wants to be Free"? I don't see where in that phrase "source code""informaion".
Both of them will be plugged into the same Linksys WRT 54G Router so speed of the connection won't be an issue. Now, could I play games through this connection (Sorry if this is a stupid question it but seems like the XP could render the game using it's gfx card and then send the screen image to the Mac.
Nope, not even close.:P This CRT is a piece of shit and it behaves very oddly (like randomly turning itself off and on). The way I got the idea to consider buy an iMac was because I was trying to decide whether I should get an LCD or Mac Mini first. This current monitor is definitely gonna get the boot sooner rather than later... how much sooner is the issue.
Not having watched the trailers (not wanting to spoil it) the things that intruges me most is: are the accents american or british? I hope their british. I mean it's not anymore difficult to understand and it's more authentic. I mean thats one thing that should not have been sacrififec for accessibility....

I guess I should have been clearer: I mean something that you can insert into a full-tower to give you a hot swappable raid array of 2.5" harddrives.

Anyone know if this actually exists somewhere?

for windowns theres is spybot and AVG for free anti-spyware and free anti-virus... is theresomething similar for mac?

Australia? Is this a joke? I knew they were right-of-center but am I missing something news that I should know about them?
Man, I wish there was a "Missed the Joke -1" mod.
IBM never used PowerPC... it used Power. Related but not the same and definitely not the same chips.
