I can't find the numbers handy, but I seem to remember that when you looked at *laptops* apple shoots up a bit in the rankings, may have been what the GP meant
I'm in the middle of speccing 2 10TB fileservers for the research group I work for, and that's a pittance compared to some data storage needs in science and certainly in enterprise. Magnetic disc for large-scale storage isn't going anywhere for a while unless they can *really* push up SSD storage capacity cheaply.
As far as I know, the catholic church is one of the few christian institutions that doesn't take issue with darwin, they contend something about a moment of divine intervention during evolution or something. Now I'm pretty damn tired right now, so someone else feel free to correct me:-p
Then there's the New York area where drivers are overly aggressive and downright idiotic. There's nothing to be done then. But I also think their driving habits have arisen as a result of horrendously designed and constructed highways. I think better highway design could go a long way to alleviating traffic problems.
I think part of the problem is the sheer length and volume of the congestion in NY. It's *not* just caused by a couple braking cars, it is the volume on the road (which isn't the issue the article was dealing with - in a lot of NY metro area it *is* a bandwidth issue). It means if, say, you want to get from eastern LI to the city on the LIE during rush hour, you *have* to be aggressive, or itll take you 3 hrs. More to the point, if you aren't agressive, the asshole in the lane next to you will be (try getting off the brooklyn bridge at the cadman plaza exit on the brooklyn side or on it from the FDR South and you'll know what I mean, everyone and their brother cuts in at the last possible second - it creates a traffic jam that extends all the way back, and is completely unnecessary).
Thankfully, I usually drive on off hours, so I only have to be an asshole sometimes:-p
Apple's primary market is the united states... Also, wasn't there a problem with a couple major 3g chipsets being approved by the FCC that iPhone skirted by being an EDGE based device?
A $2 adapter turns the dvi port on my macbook pro into a vga port, and still gives me the digital when I need it. Not including digital on an 1800 dollar laptop is a bit ridiculous these days, particularly since we're starting to get projectors using digital inputs. I can use both on my laptop, this new acer certainly can't.
"and quickly rose to become one of the most skilled active phreakers alive."
Clearly it's a challenge because he's *alive*... seriously, sometimes I will take the time to bitch about the editing: it's kinda hard to be an *active* phreaker if you're *not* alive.
That aside, you're right, this isn't cool, this isn't awesome, it's just being a dick, and I hope he does get tried as an adult. It's like all the script kiddies and criminals that turned the word "hacker" into a technological safe-breaker. Every time I solder some cables or redo the code in some obscure program to get it to do what I want it to do, not what it was meant to do, I resent that lingual corruption!
OK, I'm on a literary snob bent right now, but the point stands, send this guy to jail, please? (mods, feel free to mod my ranty post down:-p)
yah, there's a reason everyone called a portable cd player a "discman" when it was sony's brand name. They could have pulled it off with mp3 I think too, had they not crippled all the devices because of Sony's media arm.
Particularly since the new discussion system, whatever my other beefs with it is, makes it easy to see that there are hidden replies and expand them with reloading the page. Now the embedded ads on the other hand.. gah
If you're running linux, the 1080p problem goes away (it's a software limitation, at least AFAIK). HD limitation should also not be a problem, even with 2.5" discs, that goes up to 320, and the usb port provides extra storage possibilities. 'Course the best solution is a big, loud, file server somewhere else in the house with the media shared over the network.
Unfortunately, in a fair bit of this country right now there *is no* sex-ed class. 'Cause if they don't hear about *safe* practices in school, of *course* they won't have sex.::rolls eyes::
working on a couple of spiffy new Sun boxes via telnet over ssh
Say what? I do not think you typed what you meant to type, 'cause man, if you did... you're doing it wrong and I feel sorry for those poor, poor sun boxes.:-p
Dunno about the default firmware on the 54gl since the first thing I do when I get one is reflash it with dd-wrt, but since you specifically asked about the gl in dd-wrt (which many/most 54gl users are running) UPnP is disabled by default. Believe that's true in hyperwrt too.
I know I'm being trolled, but I'll bite. They got it after I explained it to them, they came to my office hours because they couldn't believe that there were more poor white people than any other single group in the country and they wanted to see numbers.
Largest single population of poor people in the US is white. Now, *percentage*-wise, less white people are poor than black, but in sheer numbers? White overwhelmingly. I actually had to explain this to a few of my students last year when I TAd intro sociology, they couldn't wrap their brains around it for some reason.
...on what you're doing. When I'm coding, all my WM (be it OSX aqua, xfce, whatev) does is act as a manager for my shell windows, a text editor, and the occasional browser window. OTOH, I use my computer for more than just coding, and when I'm *not* coding, it gets used for quite a bit more, and having something more than a screen full of terminal windows is kinda nice:-)

Can you imagine driving to work one day and finding roads blocked because of a contract dispute? You, apparently, have never driven in Pennsylvania :-p

Hate to say it, wouldn't an appleTV running linux be cheaper, faster, and just as quiet?
fair enough, was tired and wasn't really thinking about it.

The linked site from that article is FUBARd, so you might say that linking to that was, uh, kinda like beating a dead horse /me ducks
On the *gripping* hand! Turn in your geek card and all your gadgets at the door! :-p

Yeah, 'cause there aren't any engineers at all in the heart of the the world's financial and corporate hub....
