    Hey! No need to actually read the story. Just blurt out whatever happens to be on your mind and try to make it on topic after the fact!

  3. Re:Well... BASIC English on English, The Global Internet Language? · · Score: 1

    Americans are not the only ones with bad grammar in their native language. Go learn German and then ask a German speaker about basic grammar. I think you'll be surprised how little they know about their own language. Is it very surprising when a vast number of cultures come together a shared language suffers? Europeans are very fond of critizing Americans - if they received the same amount of critism in return they'd be in an uproar. One only has to read a European paper to see how ignorant many of their journalists are about culture in the USA (the London Times is a good example).

    Check out 3ware (http://www.3ware.com). They have RAID cards that are hardware based. We use them at work for mirroring. Good stuff...

  6. Chicago! on Fiber Optics Lines Can Offer Much More · · Score: 1

    21st Century is wiring Chicago with fiber to the house. They provide cable, local phone service, and internet access. I could even get it right now. Unfortunately their local phone service sucks, I don't want cable, and their internet backbone is somewhat spotty... If only we (the people) owned the fiber and any provider could use it. Then we might get some better options.

    I don't know if it is NT4 based. That was one of the errors on a partner site but I've run into similar ones very often in my online shopping treks. We run Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD here so I don't have to deal with some of that stuff. Of course you also see sites that don't anticipate MySQL/whateverSQL going down and they've got the same errors. But these Windows based servers throwing errors are on high profile sites. Rather annoying as a shopper too.

    doh! Guess I should have tried to parse your crappy sentence structure a bit better. I'm not sure why all RC cars aren't powered by gas but a couple easy guesses:

    gas == danger to kids (big market for rc cars)

    gas == more expensive than recharging battery

    gas == more upkeep than battery powered engine

    Here is one FAQ that seems to skirt around the issue(obviously for electric though):
