    With a big knife you could store them in a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Freezers. RAIF-0 supports striped lawyers.

    And you'd need a PIN to access the information, so that'd be PIN striped lawyers.

  5. Re:TrueCrypt? on Online Storage For Lawyers? · · Score: 1

    Lawyers are there to defend people that hire them. Do you want to be unable to hire someone to defend you in court while you have no knowledge about laws and regulations to defend yourself? Didn't think so either.

    It's about being equal. If the guy/corporate entity I'm up against isn't spending obscene amounts of money on a legal team, we'd be equal.

    Environmentally damaging waste. Lawyers. I just don't see a difference.

    you'll look like sloppy to the people who do.

    Like is unnecessary in this case. It makes the sentence sound awkward, as if it's missing a word. Alternatives might be "you'll look sloppy", or perhaps "you'll look like you're sloppy"

    Unless he has an ungrammatical friend called Sloppy. (in which case it should have been capitalised[1])

    [1] Correct spelling, for me anyway.

  15. Re:My experience dictates it... on Reliability of Computer Memory? · · Score: 1

    WMD for short, not to be mistaken for the Iraq kind

    They don't have Windows Memory Diagnostic in Iraq either?

    Windows of Mass Destruction? Seems oddly appropriate.

    I'd suggest timing errors between supposedly matched memory modules. Or that there is enough temperature difference to induce timing errors.

    Windows 95? I'm sure they were using FAT file systems in the era of msdos 3.n If they waited til Windows 95 to file, I'd think that would make them invalid? (IANAL etc)

    Response time is nice, too. Perhaps they are all fast now, but the one I still use has real issues between squeezing the shutter and picture getting taken.

    Is there a EULA printed on the new razor blades forbidding you from sharpening them? I was intrigued by one on a printer cartridge the other day.
