I have an aging Dell Poweredge tower with an Adaptec AAC-RAID SATA PCI card that's equipped with hardware raid. I run 3 500gb drives in RAID-5, so that comes out to 1TB. I have one port to spare if I ever want to expand. I have a bunch of ripped movies, backed up software, and my desktop documents/music backed up there. Ubuntu is the operating system. Don't make the same mistake I did by trying to go cheap and run software RAID. It failed every time the drives were put under a demanding load (i.e. viewing movies or running a backup). When you run 3 drives, the PCI bus runs out of bandwidth very quickly. I wouldn't spend a lot of money on a NAS from HP, Dell, Iomega, etc. They're typically overpowered for backing up. You don't need an assload of RAM or a quad core to do what you're trying to accomplish. I have a Pentium III 1ghz processor and 256mb of RAM and have zero problems.
Why not just use conventional explosives to accomplish what they propose? I'd think that using a nuke to collapse the well is like hitting a nail with a bus rather than a hammer. Silly drunk Russians.
They don't really appear to be bitching about it so much as asking what's going on. They are planning to contact Google to see WTF up. I think they are suspicious that Google is taking the contra-Don't Be Evil route, which wouldn't surprise me either. I still love google.
I really agree. For a couple hundred dollars less (or even less than that) you can get a netbook that will do more than the iPad. I own an iPhone and it does me no good to get a device that does less than what my iPhone does but in a larger package. I happen to like my Lenovo T60 and I tether it to my jailbroken iPhone. Guess I don't really help the netbook plight when it comes down to it.
Sadly, these guys could've been pushed into it by the school/school board and without much wiggle room just to say no. I'm sure they have families to support. Often times I would tell my bosses no when they asked me to do something that would put me in a hot spot. I would usually email them to clarify what they wanted and avoid their phone calls so I'd at least have something to document it. I can see where either way they were trying to CYA (Cover Your ASSets) but now it's looking like they lost their asses.
It seems to me paper would use less energy than looking at a document/book on PDF. You spend the energy making paper, printing a book, binding the pages, and sit it on a shelf and there's on batteries required for the life of the book. On the other hand, charging your iPad, Kindle, etc. costs energy and the cost of manufacturing those devices is more. You could grow new trees within the lifespan of a book. This makes me thing of why I don't print things and when it comes down to it, I think it's because I don't want to store the paper, go by new paper, etc. I'm lazy.
I subscribe to Gizmodo's RSS and read it daily. However, they often take the time to get off the usual topics they cover to rant and rave a one-sided argument using trigger words to incite the worst in people (i.e. cops and use of force is a big one, of course I'm in a family of cops and I'm biased there). I guess it's what makes them journalists. In this case, Giz is having a toe-curling orgasm as they fly closer to the sun having that exclusive story on the new iPhone (not to mention national TV coverage) and their advertising rates go up with the site traffic. I haven't seen them get a hard on like this since they were featured on CNN (?) after pointing out a panelist on a political talk show of the said network was looking at ballgame play-by-play on his laptop during the show. I feel bad for the guy. He made a mistake many of us have made before. I've left my phone on a restaurant table and even a bar. Simple albeit costly for him.
According to the linked article, it only targets packaged drinks. Had me concerned because I enjoy that, rum and coke, or on special occasions a Patron and red bull.
Just a bit of info from an oncology nurse: there is an increase in chemo resistant carcinoma with people who start smoking pot at a young age. Many of the complications from alcohol have well known and effective treatments.
This is an old site that hasn't been updated in years. I used it a while back when hacking iOpeners was still popular (those were the days!). He sells some equipment for hard disk upgrades and there's some hacking info, specs, schematics, etc. in the forums. www.linux-hacker.net
I went from IT to nursing. While many schools are in high demand and have waiting lists (some longer than the curriculum), you can complete a program in 18-24 months with a 2 year degree. Nursing requires critical and creative thinking, which I had from the IT field. It does require compassion, which some IT people, including myself, may find difficult to develop. You may be able to pull compassion off, but if it's all too difficult, you could to set your nursing career towards the ER. That IT attitude is more appropriate bedside manner in the ER.
I worked 3 part-time jobs while I was in school at 10-15 hours per job per week. They didn't pay much, but the multiple jobs came with pretty flexible hours. As far as income, I had to make sacrifices and changes. No more EVE-online, netflix, dining out, etc. That laptop had to hold out a little bit longer.
With the time I spent in school, about 80-90 a week of my time was occupied. It was difficult, but I was eventually out of school and immediately offered a job at a hospital where I worked one night a week. 6 weeks later (delays due to state licensing), I landed the position as a graduate nurse, after another 4 weeks passed my boards and became an RN.
I'm far from hating my job and I rest easy as every hospital in my town is hiring. The money is decent for my area (but in all honesty, it does suck for nursing), but if you can travel you can make very good money. And becoming a registered nurse is a nearly limitless foundation to build on. Management, practitioner, nurse anesthetist, physician assistant, or jump to MD. Simply put, it was, still is, a great career choice for me.
What do you expect from Fox? You really think they'd present an unbiased piece of shit they call programming (aside the Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama)? I remember that show and they made some good arguments, but didn't offer any counter arguments against their "hard evidence" that was mostly speculation. And thus FOX NEWS was born!
This administration has some real good secrets. Like that Air Force One fiasco in New York was a "top secret military sanctioned project." I'm not sure how flying a jumbo jet at a low altitude around one of the most populated cities in the world is going to be kept secret, but I'm just an educated person.
I mainly use Adblock to get rid of overly obtrusive ads. Really, when I hit up weather.com and half of the screen is covered by an add, my blood boils. It's like someone shoving a pamphlet in your face when you look outside the window to see if it's raining. Sites with minimally obtrusive ads, I don't block as that's just too much trouble for something that doesn't bother me.
I think Adblock's future relies on how obtrusive the notice becomes. If a notice comes up every time you goto a site asking you to allow ads, then I'm sure a competing addon will have a shot at Adblock. Otherwise, if you can suppress those notices altogether, then that would make the feature worthless for someone like me who would suppress them.
I'm sure some people use Craigslist legitimately for dating, not for prostitution. Those who solicit sex for money are in fact breaking the law (depending on your state/city).
On the other hand, some people use their computer to pirate music. Should we sue Dell for facilitating this?
Some people use their cars as a vessel for doing drive-by shootings. Should we sue Ford?
What's with the crackpot government in Illinois? Selling senator seats, saying Pluto's a planet, and now a bucktoothed sheriff suing a site for illegal activity they already strive to eliminate?
really, a naming scheme does make things easier. We'd use names like "HIR-POS-SPORTS1" for a resort I worked at, HIR being the company, POS for point of sale, and the latter indicating the sports bar on property. PS instantly told me I was looking at a print server, SRV a server, WS a work station, WAP wireless access point and so on. If a client called me with a problem, I could quickly narrow down which machine they were on by hostname based on what department they were on and what kind of machine they were using to solve a problem remotely.
At home and for my own server in the wild, I name them after stars and networks are named after constellations and one exception of a place in mythology.
Cox has been charging customers fees for file sharing now. Hasn't happened to me yet, but local news sources have reported it. If you use wifi and protect your network, they'll still hold you responsible if an intruder manages to get onto the network and download.

Let's make our own wireless standard, give it away to CSIRO and then charge them for it some years later. Yeah, screw those guys!

I think he maybe planning to "leak" that music he's talking about. Fans will be able to download and add the music to it. Make sense to me.

Ever read your consent for treatment? You're already signing your life away. What's your rights compared to that?
