That's the GuruPlug Plus. The standard GuruPlug includes only 1 Gb NIC.
The "professional upgrade kits" are just a microfan and a wiring harness. You could just as easily mod the GuruPlug Plus with a 3rd party fan and drilling a few holes in the case, etc.
Or just lock one of the NICs at 100 Mb, as the announcement suggests, if you need 2 NICs and don't need them both to be GigE, as in the case of building a router. Or if you're building an iSCSI target and need the 2 GigE ports for speed by using channel bonding, then just add the fan.
I don't really see the big deal except that I do find Globalscale's announcement change to be a bit deceptive, as the original announcement promised that they would be adding the professional upgrade kit to all future GuruPlug Plus units that started shipping as of August and now they've reneged on that deal and covertly altered the notice.
The founders were court ordered to take down TPB. However, the founders no longer run it. They do not seem to know who is running it, either, but apparently it is currently being hosted the Pirate Party.
The biggest advantage these have over cheap NAS boxes is bang for the buck in terms of horsepower. The Lacie NAS appliances you mention come with 400 Mhz processors at 16 MB of RAM.
The SheevaPlug and GuruPlug each come with a 512 MB of RAM and 1.2Ghz processor. Also, GuruPlug has 802.11g WiFi capability in addition to the wired Ethernet connectivity.
And I say this as an owner of a reflashed Linksys NAS 200, which not only serves files, but also serves as a print server for my network, a capability that Cisco/Linksys doesn't include in the box.
Several cellular companies, including (but not limited to) Sprint and T-Mobile, are offering all-you-can-eat wireless data for pretty affordable flat-rate prices these days. After all, they gotta do something to lure customers away from AT&T.
Yep. That photo does indeed look photoshopped. Zoom in really close and look at the pixels around the word "TOPPEHTPEAKTOP". You can see blocks of grey and white pixels above the letters that don't follow letters, but instead go straight across across the screen; in addition, the second P and first E, and maybe the K, have fade near the bottom as if someone cleaning up the sign had gotten the airbrush/clone tool, with too big of brush selected, just a little too close to the letters. Finally, there's a block of inexplicable grey and white splotches above the TO that are reminiscent of fast and sloppy clone tool editing.
Quite honestly, this looks like some of the worst photoshopping I've ever seen.
You know, Supreme Court of the United States, as opposed to, say, the Supreme Court of Canada, or the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (SCOTUK!), or state supreme courts... Helps avoid confusion.
Well, I don't dislike her politics entirely. I like her ideas about fair use, but am appalled by her ideas about free speech. You may dislike pornography and 'hate speech,' at least until it's your speech that has been labelled as pornography or 'hate speech.'
Motorcyclists usually focus better on the task at hand (i.e. operating the motorcycle) than automobilists do, because they have fewer things such as passengers, radios/CD/MP3 players, heating/cooling systems, phones, computers, etc. to distract them from it.
Are you sure about that? Pay particular attention the link that says "technology."
hey also get direct feedback (in terms of wind, seeing the pavement rush past their feet, etc.) of how fast they're going, which helps in making judgments about (for example) how much to brake before making a turn. The more that vehicles mask the vehicle's speed from the operator (smoother ride, better soundproofing, etc), the more dangerous they become.
You'd think so, but then you probably haven't seen the kids driving crotch rockets down here in Tampa.
And yet it didn't do any one of those things as well the specialized tools did. Which was the problem with it from what I saw. I played with it for about 2 days and discovered that it was too slow (even with Google Chrome) to replace IM or IRC, there was too much information displayed all at once for it to replace email and forums, and there weren't enough 3rd party tools and clients.
I can tell you that not only is a space narrower than an 'n', but it's also the same width regardless of if it comes after a period or not.
Depends on the application. Certainly you're right for a lot of word-processing software, but with page layout applications like Scribus or QuarkXPress (on Mac or Windows), the applications have special handling for this.
Without the geographical landmarks of extra white space scattered about a paragraph, I have a lot of difficulty returning instantly to wherever I was every few milliseconds; it can take several seconds to reorient my vision sometimes if a bug or some other piece of movement distracts me for the briefest fraction of a second.
Furthermore, regardless of the number of spaces you insert, Slashdot only displays one space.;)
No, he's not loco. He's correct, at least if he's going by the AP style guide or, indeed, many other such materials. It's one space for any proportionally-spaced font. (Fixed-spaced fonts (Courier, American Typewriter, Lucida Console, Bitstream Vera Mono, etc.) aren't used in most professionally-published work, except for stuff like code in a technical publication.)
Watch the video again. There are several different intersections, and some of them do, indeed have stop signs, they're just off-camera. Watch for the white lines going across the road...there's usually a pole next to them. That'll be where the stop sign is. One intersection even had a speed bump. Most people were also going way too fast for the little narrow streets.
Right. But installing concrete pylons costs a lot more than you might think and takes more time. Near where I live, they are elevating parts of the road. It's going to take almost 5 years and cost $125 million dollars. And that's just elevate the part of the road that goes over the cross streets over a 2.7 mile stretch. Imagine what elevating the whole thing over miles and miles and miles would cost and how long it would take to build.
I imagine the costs would significantly less as would the time to build it.
At the current rate of smartphone/tablet adoption, it won't be long before iOS and Android-based devices become prime targets. Symbian phones have already been getting virii for years.

Um, so you're saying that your fellow countrymen are retarded?
I thought we had a patent on that here in the States. ;)

Surely you mean Elbonia.

Formula 1 cars are still guaranteed to kill pedestrians; see post I was replying to.

Good luck making a zero fatality car with the chinese at the helm...
Don't worry. That just means you'll be less likely to die in a crash and more likely to die of lead or melamine poisoning!
Okay, so, essentially, by 2020, Volvos will be made out of Nerf material?
There's a fundamental law of nature that says when you stick 4 wheels underneath a human being, sh*t happens.
Ditto for Stop-N-Play where I live in Hudson, FL, (about 1 hour of Clearwater.) They even have Time Crisis.

Too late. Ask Oracle about that one.

I dunno. I like the Swiss Army Knife analogy.

Well, just STFW.
