Well XP isn't going to be sold forever, and as it is now you need to pay a premium to get the Vista Business edition with the XP downgrade, so this article is actually quite good in promoting the confidence of consumers to buy Windows 7 for their netbook instead of looking for some hacked method to get XP on their shiny new netbook in the upcoming year.
TL;DR: When XP is no longer available to buy, I won't worry about putting Windows 7 on the netbook.
Need I point out the irony in the phrase, "excessive redundancy"?
That aside, sure I can write concisely, but then it just isn't quite as interesting to read. I write like I would speak publicly. I've found it lends to more people reading the full post instead of going TLDR.
The main problem isn't the length of time that data can be stored. Hard drives and tape drives still carry data from the 1970s, but no one can use them. Why? Because of format changes. We recently transitioned to Blu-Ray, and there are countless codecs for video at this point in time. I don't think the problem is with the length of time for storage, as useful as that is, but rather with the format in which we store them.
And with each expansion they will exponentially decrease the difficulty to achieve things until a 2-year-old facerolling the keyboard could... oh. We weren't serious?
Actually, thats kdawson's fault. If you read the original firehose article by TaeKwonDood you'll see that the bit of incorrect grammar was actually placed in by kdawson.
Yes if windows could be a glass dome on the roof that captured light and distributed it to many rooms on many floors separated by a novel invention, walls --or even better, ceilings.
Hrm. Thats interesting because my main box runs on an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe with an AMD64 X2 5600+ in it and my Dell Latitude D630 laptop runs a Core 2 Duo and I updated both without problems yesterday. In fact the install yesterday was the most flawless install of anything I've seen in a while.
Thats a good idea but as security features go thats not such a good idea. The point of the cgi-bin directory is to jail the binaries in that folder. That way if by some reason you put up some script that had some security holes and it was used to create a new phishing page or something it would only be able to exist in the cgi-bin directory instead of being hidden somewhere in a mass collection of folders.
But again, I refer to my question. Is it worth $4 million? Are you willing to pay $4 million for something like this? Usually the people who are interested in this have their own ability & money to build a NAS or backup systems and support them.
This is pretty interesting in that it's yet another item that we all wish we had just for overkill purposes.
However, I doubt they'll sell many of these. The only places I can think of that would benefit from this are supercomputing institutes, but they often build their own redudant RAID systems and/or NAS systems.
It's nice and all, but seriously people, who's the audience?
Wait, wouldn't that be a little contridicting then? If it was completely anonymous then that would imply no one knowing who posted. And that would make it impossible to track the poster unless the poster him/herself confessed. However, if someone knew who the poster was, then it would no longer be anonymous then, correct?
I'm running on a technicality here. And someone will probably get me on the fact that it's a 'seemingly' anonymous post, where the poster can be tracked through IP.
If you're really paranoid, you would have access to your own mail access interface, and you could write your own interface like I did. (Whoops, did I say that out loud?)
And, the interface is a javascript keyboard on the login page for input of letters and numbers. HTTPS too. AFAIK, they wouldn't be able to use a mouse-logger, eh?

Thats not hard. All you need is a lot of close-up pictures of cheese.

An excellent anecdote was mentioned on slashdot recently: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/13/005224

Withdrawing from Iraq. IIRC the war costs $2 billion a week.

Who said anything about SQL injection? I was talking about files created without your permission. They'd only be runnable in the cgi-bin folder.

I wonder how Shawn feels about letting loose the RIAA and the massive flood of lawsuits and etc that exists today...

I'm VERY surprised that no one has seen that this is NOT a new product. The CENATEK Rocket Drive has been around since 2001...
And it has it's own battery backup as well.
In addition, all Rocket Drives have multiple integrated power sources: an external DC input, power from the host bus or onboard UPS.
It's even been featured on ScreenSavers (TechTV) in '01. Here are it's press releases.
A mirror of the thumbnails is available here.

Low, good, and high quality torrents up. For the good quality torrent, you'll have to take the corrected version and add .php to the announce URL.
Quake 3 raytracing demo will be up soon.
Again, located here:

Torrent of low quality up, others will come as they finish downloading.
2^69 = 590295810358705651712
2^80 = 1208925819614629174706176
2^80 / 2 ^ 69 = 2^11, which = 2048.
Yep. 2000 times faster.
More censorship in the United States? Meh.
I thought the United States would at least set an example after critisizing China of censorship...
Its because Microsoft has taken an almost monopolitical (is that even a word?) stance on the common public's view of computers.
In fact, outside of select worlds (Slashdot, etc), Microsoft is synonymous with computer software.
