I agree that the Sun/Oracle x4NNN systems are the best on the market, via having a serial console that not only is conveniently provided as an RJ45, but that actually works out of the box.
This is priceless when one isn't in the same room as a server.
I agree with the being hit by a car reason for wearing a helmet and the stupidity of their goofy attire.
The pedestrian-sized target bit is amusing -- I find that pedestrians are more at risk from bicycles than from cars: cars don't ride on sidewalks. Around here, bicyclists believe that sidewalks are their territory, and that pedestrians are interlopers. I can't take my son on the path around a local small lake because of the asshole cyclists.
Price a 10GE blade for a Cisco ASR sometime. One can get more-affordable 10GE switches, eg. from Arista, but I think using common RJ45 cables for 10GE is still pretty rare, usually it's fiber or some bizarre twinax stuff. These are barriers to widespread use.
HP's dual 10GE PCI card costs us something like $622.
Having been stuck there for 8 months, and having required 4 visits to the MVC or DMV or whatever they called it to get my license and registration sorted out, I can attested to that.
The "Seattle Times" really needs to come clean and just rename itself the "Microsoft Times". This story didn't concern Microcultists, so it doesn't rate their attention.
McGinn made specific promises pre-election that he wouldn't let his personal ideology affect policies where the citizenry clearly differed from him... then he turned around and spent most of his time fighting ideological political battles, ignoring real problems while devoting 100% of his time tilting at his personal windmills.
DEC commonly told people to clean their LK201 keyboards by running them through a dishwasher. Mind you, the end result was still a crappy-ass LK201.
When I worked for a company that made physically large specialty computers, there was a Maytag on the production floor that they used to wash boards.
I'd like to see how you physically manage that BD-R media in cron.
Media that requires human touch is prone to mistakes and presents a substantial man-hour cost that is often not factored in.
For some value of "large". Real-world tape robots (as opposed to little 5-tape changers) are rather expensive, especially when maintenance is added in.
Add in the associated costs:
o Buying the tapes
o Buying the drives
o Time spent shuffling tapes
o Coping with tapes written by a misaligned drive such that only that drive can read them back
Does that "one hour" estimate include acceleration and deceleration (*) to top speed?
* yeah yeah I know deceleration is just acceleration in the other direction, but muggles don't understand that.
The only person using a 10-15 year old Mac laptop are the poor people in Ethiopia who were gifted them as some part of charity program, or some kids children being mentally abused by their anti-nerd father
Hyperbolic much?
I've seen plenty of G4's in schools, and my wife makes casual use of my old G4 TiBook from 2003 in the kitchen. It's slow, but it meets the need. Note that this system was dropped top-down onto an unexpected bolt sticking up out of a DC floor years ago and hasn't skipped a beat. The Dell Latitudes I was previously stuck with would have splintered.
Incidentally I also have a fully working Dell Inspiron 4100 here. It was a cheap laptop when I bought it and still works as good as it did that day.
Better than ur grammer eye hope.
I use it every so often as a science experiment (literally data collection since it has a serial port). This works very well because unlike any Apple portable product which becomes essentially useless after a few years without a power cord
HUH? What are you smoking?
I bought two Inspiron 4100 batteries about 4 months ago and the laptop happily hums away for 8-10 hours at a time unsupervised (dual battery slots)
Pushing seven pounds with the second battery I bet. The "new" batteries I bought for the abovementioned Latitude weren't much better than the originals -- I suspect they'd been shelved for years.

Thank you for knowing the different between the singular (bacterium) and plural (bacteria). I cringed when I read the abstract.
You're thinking of Jody Thompson. And that annoying woman from Caprica.
>Macports works well enough on OSX Sure, if the limited selection of [often stale, sometimes badly-built] packages is good enough for you.

He deserves it just for calling himself "Julian", with "Ass" as a surname.
The fifth commandment is a pretty good rule I think: Thou shall not kill.
Remember that next time you pick up a fork.
Not to diminish what happened here, but WTF would a non-Islamic family want to live there in the first place?

Most of what I've read about DLNA indicates that it tends to *not* "just work"
Can anyone suggest to me why powdered milk, and freeze-dried or liquid nitrogen frozen meat would not last for the three year voyage?
Who cares? I can't imagine that calves or snakes would be among the crew, and as such the above would be pointless.

Use spell check on your resume, have someone else read it, ugh!
Specifically, if you feel that you must use the word "distribution", do not abbreviate it as "distro".
I should think that she did pretty well after the first season of Ugly Betty.

Sounds kinda like Schwartz and Sun.

Oh wow! People are still using PowerBook G3s?
