Alright, fine. I overeacted. But it's getting old. Go back through the past few stories, and someone is bitching about Apple in every damn one of them.
1. Don't outsource at all. This isn't practical 2. Don't buy from the lowest bidder. This is more practical. Who cares if you spend an extra $0.05 on each motherboard, if it cuts your failure rate by 60%? The problem here, is the factory could still be using lowest bidder parts, but charge more. 3. See if you can arrange to have the factory avoid buying from the lowest bidder. This is the same as #2, but pushes it further down the line (and if you can do it, improves the chances of it actually helping)
The real problem? Businesses seem to lack forethought or forward planning. They care about now now now, this quarter now! Nobody with any power seems to realize that dealing with the issue before it becomes an issue is actually better in almost every way.
Americans work longer hours, for less pay and benefits, than any other country.
I assume you mean for skilled professions, rather than a blanket statement. I guarantee you the people who work in factories (the ones that are left, anyways) here in the USA are the exact opposite of your statement.
This is part of the reason everything was moved off-shore.
It would be great if everyone played by the same rules, but they don't. They can work their workers to death for peanuts and get away with it, we can't. Therefore, if all anyone ever looks at is the bottom dollar, they win (because healthy and happy employees don't magically make competitor prices lower, or the costs to produce your product lower).
Non-native filesystems usually let you set UID, GID, and permission masks. Check the "mount" manpage and look for the filesystem you want. You might also try "man filesystem"

Wow, your earthshattering announcement sure was earthshattering! You're going to name your next project iTex! Wow! I mean, holy shit, wow!
I'm not defending anyone. But this story is about DELL not fucking Apple or anyone else.
Fuck off yourself.
Are you judges? No. Are you legislators? No.
Well then, it's a good thing it's not your job to form or interpret the law then, isn't it?
Go pound sand.
Woa woa, calm down. I don't need an AC freaking out on my behalf :)
I can handle the karma hit. On this post too.
(thanks though)

Goddammit, why do you freaks keep dragging Apple into every unrelated discussion? Leave that crap out.

Er, Newegg doesn't make, sell, and support Desktop and Server machines. They just resell other people's products.
(that said, the Egg is the shit (in the good way))
But I thought they were Plug and Play!
(oh god, did I just say that?)
Yea, it certainly would.
I found an eSATA bracket that plugges into a normal SATA port on the motherboard. It fit just fine on the back of my server's supermicro 1U chassis.
My external drive has an eSATA as well. I've got tested sustained data rates over 100mb/s - definitely superior to USB in that respect.
Yes. Someone will want it, either HAM-types looking for antennas or other 2.4ghz components, people on an extreme budget etc.
As others have said, boots are your friend.
If you buy them premade, they are usually called "snagless"
Forget your meds this morning? Or did you do an extra line of coke?
(reread what you just said. you completely exploded over something retarded)
Go back to your hole, troll.
... but I just want the madness to stop.
It won't. That's how technology works these days, sorry.
It's a good thing that HD is a digital format then! (I don't think seperate sync lines are still used?)
Color coding (or just putting tags on) can help with that...
How long until the first support call because some tool tries a regular network (or hell, even phone...) cable?
Windows doesn't play in here, it's OSX and Linux. Tossing NTFS into that would just be... wrong somehow.
But.... but it involves COMPUTERS! It's completely different, we need new rules!
(that said, it's far easier to pocket a USB drive (or just copy) and run then a folder full of files or some x-ray prints)
No problem, that won't take any time at all...
Indeed. You completely missed the 80gb file part.
Do *nix and OSX support exfat at all? If they do, then that -should- work. But it's not really a good solution.
Non-native filesystems usually let you set UID, GID, and permission masks. Check the "mount" manpage and look for the filesystem you want. You might also try "man filesystem"
Every filesystem warrants the occasional check. If you never check, there are lots of errors that can accumulate and burn your ass.
