Well, 7200RPM with double or quadripple the areal density is like double or 4x the RPMs at the original areal density. As for solid-state disks, they've come an amazing way. It's just that their cost relative to hard disks is still bad. But relative to their original costs, they've probably done as well as platters in terms of price/bit.
Does it work with CR-RW, or do you have to waste a CD-R? (I've never 'bought' anything from the iTunes store, but the free songs they give out on Tuesdays...
Well, not exactly destroyed, but converted directly into energy. The amount of energy produced by converting energy is that relatively unknown equation E=mc^2.
Well, sort of. That's Linux for the V1 version of the Ceiva frame, that they aren't selling anymore. I've been meaning to get the info about my V2 Ceiva up on the web, but haven't gotten around to it, and the backlight died, so it's gathering dust...
While I liked my Ceiva while it worked, (I really got it to try to port NetBSD and/or Linux to it to avoid the fees), the backlight died after the very short warranty ran out and the out of warranty replacment was 70% of the cost of the frame. Trying to cancel the service after the frame has died has been difficult.
Yeah, but look at what our economy did when 16 guy flew 3 planes into some buildings. Now imagine that asteroid hitting not pourous rock, but water off the east or west coasts...
Even sweaty, your resistance thru your body is still quite high. 12v combined with that high resistance (my DMM says my tongue is 500K ohms, one probe in each hand was 1.5M ohms) doesn't push enough current to hurt you.
Number two, Apple is under no obligation to support ANYONE else's DRM, period.
This made me think that Apple should have updated the iPod to ignore the DRM, not fail to play. That way the labels would refuse to sell music to Real, since they wouldn't be protected. Probably not a good idea, since the labels (RIAA) would be pissed at Apple as well as Real, but a nice idea:-)
I'd do a test and see if they do that with a completely random domain: 'dfnl2398723.com', and if so, I'd write a script which hit their site for 10-20 random domains per day, maybe thru some of the web-anonimizer services to give different IPs. At just $5/domain, you'd cost them $50-$100 per day for their assholishness:-)
Oh sure, but I was thinking of desktop linux, and people who know MS Office, but get confused by the differences with Open Office (not having used Open Office, and use MS Office as little as possible, I'm guessing there are diffs). If there are _any_ differences there will be training. It may be that Open Office is actually easier to train a complete neophyte in, but that the bulk of employees will have experience with MS Office and need re-training.
I love tabbed browsing for this. I can command-click on an advert, forget about that tab for awhile and continue with what I'm looking at without missing a step.
I don't know that the use of the janitor is meant as an inditement of janitors and their honesty, but rather of society. The reason that janitors are used is because they have opportunity (because they have to to clean) and and due to the inequity in society they can be said to have motive. After all, when you're working around equipment that costs as much as you make in a year, there's more temptation to steal it than if you work around stuff that costs what you make in a day. It's the same reason why people who drive expensive cars don't feel comfortable parking their car in a poor neighborhood. But you're right, statistically, it's the employee making $80k who thinks he should be making $120k, rather than the janitor making $10k
Trouble is, the rebate is only good once per item. I had to track down 3 friends who didn't want a 160gb drive themselves when I setup my 600GB array recently. Drive cost was $200 + tax & shipping. Enclosure was about $300.
Just putting all my CDs online with lossless encoding was about 130GB. I'm not even thinking about doing our DVDs until storage comes down by about a factor of 10. It's not just about having the CDs online, because I also like to have a backup of any data I've got online. Sure, I could store my CDs offsite, but that involves storing a big box in a storage area or at a family/friend's house. I do that with tapes, because they're small, but a big box is different.
Actually, looking at the size of the filament in some of the lightbulbs around here, the resistor wouldn't have to be very big, just encased in a vaccum and given room to radiate lots of heat...:-)
How exactly would you use 'cat' to take over the box? As I read the man page for cat, it only writes to stdout, and the shell (or sudo in this case) would be responsible for opening stdout, hopefully before doing the setuid call. So, you'd be able to read any file on the box, but not write to any./dev/kmem would certainly be helpful, but finding passwords in there wouldn't be 'piss easy'.
You certainly make good points, but Microsoft can also certainly point at the large pool of possible employees which are already familiar with Microsoft products, which would have to be trained to use the Linux version. So training costs, when they differ between alternatives, can certainly be a factor in TCO.

I still have the reply (filed somewhere...) from Steve Jobs from when I emailed him out of the blue. That was cool.
It probably helped that he was at NeXT at the time and I sent him NeXTMail...

Not in 1998 it wasn't...

Make a play list, burn the songs to CD-R.
Well, except for nuclear, which creates energy by destroying matter.

so, in short, I'd avoid Ceiva.

Did you try it? /etc/password, it's your shell, running with your permissions.
It won't work, because in the second command, '/bin/cat' isn't opening
