Bulk purchases might be your problem...from what I understand about hard drive manufacturing (which is to say, very little, all from online research), if one drive from a lot is bad, chances are all the drives in that lot are bad. And bad or not, all the drives in a lot tend to fail at almost exactly the same time.
Research like this bodes well for future exploration of other planets. A glider, or better yet a powered aircraft, can cover more ground in an hour than Spirit and Opportunity have in a year. With the communications delay, it would have to be autonomous.
Landing to conduct experiments would be a one-time deal (unless it can take off again), but such a vehicle could do great recon for future rovers or human explorers, in addition to all sorts of atmospheric experiments.
I had to clean up a friend's computer, and this was the only program I tried that got rid of a very nasty adbot that had attached itself to IE. Spybot and Ad-aware (both of which I use) didn't see it.
I'm not planning on installing MS Antispyware on my Windows box, but it's there if I ever get a problem the programs I use can't handle.
I've never liked Markos "screw them" Zuniga, but what you're all focusing on is a non-story. He disclosed to his readers that he was taking money; Williams, who made no disclosure, deserves whatever happens to him.
What interests me is the difference in what those involved thought they were doing:
Zuniga thought he was taking money to be a "consultant" and give advice.
The Dean campaign thought they were paying him to be a shill and say good things about them.
See the difference? I think bloggers who take money should disclose that fact to their readers, ahead of time and not after the fact. But ideally, bloggers should not take money (except for explicit advertisements); it can lead too easily to a situation where the blogger is being taken advantage of.
It's a little tall for a 5.25" bay (2" vs. 1.5"), but I bet some Mac fanatics will buy gutted Cube cases off eBay and mount the Mini vertically inside them...just line up the drive slots and you're set.
Here's another question, from the happy owner of an old-but-not-too-old IBM keyboard: which key on the Windows keyboard would map to the 'eject' key on an Apple keyboard? Obviously there's no eject button on the computer itself.
That's my thought. Ten to one this was done by a student. If that's the case, though, they probably did it just for the challenge and won't do anything with the information.
I have the same problem, with an HP laserjet 4p, and I know the printer isn't causing it. Firefox usually screws up the text when printing. Sometimes the "print preview" page makes it obvious that a print job won't work, other times it's just rolling the dice.
I really like Firefox; but now I just copy-and-paste text into notepad and print that.
That's right, she had a gastric bypass, didn't she? No matter, there are plenty of fat celebs where she came from. I can think of at least two named Roseanne- Barr (or whatever it is now) and O'Donnell.
I would recommend anyone here check out the Encyclopedia Astronautica. They have a page dedicated to NASA's design studies for future Saturn V variants: http://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/saturnv.htm
Hi, this post is all about Firefox, REAL FIREFOX. This post is awesome. My name is FuturePastNow and I can't stop thinking about Firefox. This browser is cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.
Facts: 1. Firefoxes are browsers. 2. Firefoxes fight spyware ALL the time. 3. The purpose of the Firefox is to flip out and kill spyware.
It looks like he used mainly 2x2 and 2x4 bricks, so these cases should be quite rigid and strong. I've built Lego models before that could survive a good drop. These probably wouldn't, but they'd be easier to fix than a real computer case.
I like the last one (the cube) the most. He at least stuck with only two colors on it. Wonder what the melting point of a Lego is?

Why does Netscape.com look an awful lot like Google?
I have a TI-80, so I'm SOL too. Can't imagine pushing my poor old calculator very far though. It's fast enough for my needs.

"I feel lucky" also makes things like Googlebombing more fun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlebomb

That's all right, as long as one person thought it was funny, I can be happy.

The first time I read that headline, I thought it said "BSD Beer Brewing System."
Oh, wait...
for me, anyway.

Electrolysis of water, powered by geothermal energy.
Which reinforces the need for nuclear power in countries that aren't so geologically active.
He was referring to the colors on the world atlas, where Iceland is indeed green.

Kirstie Alley, Camryn Manheim, and Aretha Franklin. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
Well, thanks to everyone for setting that straight. Should have paid more attention in Astronomy class ;)
Are game-playing computers considered human, too?
we'll get an actual image of Saturn rising over the horizon. It would grace the desktops of a million geeks.
What kind of cameras does Huygens have? What are the odds of an actual picture like that being taken?

That's a Duplo Disk Expansion Box.
