Mebbie they don't like messy racks, but their site is messy. It's back up now, but you'll notice that page is 800k in size. No wonder it went down. Also, for those who want to know what the first link was supposed to point to, try this http://www.cepro.com/search/keyword/Bad%20Installs .html
Also, the editor put an incorrect link in. The worst home wiring jobs links to the same place as the Best... But I guess it doesn't matter if you can't even reach the page.
Found an old picture of one of the messiest racks I have ever seen. Personally I think a messy NOC should be a punishable offense. I can't tell you how many times some stupid blip in the system is caused by a dangling wire with so much other wiring hanging on it that it gets pulled from the panel. Nothing like a 4am pager going off, coming into work and finding the root cause of the problem is the idiots that wired the rack. Kudos to those who do it right.
Then we agree. If Sony is hired to make or rebrand a product, they should have the business sense to make Quality Assurances so that recalls shouldn't happen. As such, Sony (as reported by Slashdot and other news sources) is continuing their ever growing record of bad news.
Why again do people still buy hardware with DRM at all? There are still plenty of products from the States and other countries which do not have these limitations.
Many computers genuinely had XP SP1 on them at one time, then the license and original restore cd is lost. When it comes time for the standard 6 month reformat, should we genuinely feel guilt for loading a different CD "XP SP2 copy" of this same product just because we can't find the authenticity certificate?
"I do not really consider these attacks as vulnerabilities within Adobe. It is more exploiting features supported by the product that were never designed for this," Kierznowski said in an e-mail interview with eWEEK.
Isn't that what a vulnerability is? Exploiting a "feature" in a way not originally intended?
I was actually being a big sarcastic. Python is great and all, but I think this could have been done in many other ways that would be faster or more efficient.
So the Intel Core 2 Duo chip, also known as Merom was internally known as Conroe and is based on the Pentium M 'Banias' mobile chip based out of Haifa.
Additionally, the original Core Duo (Yonah) isn't really a Core product, it's just a P4M with two cores. Core structure actually starts with Core 2 Duo, thus the Core 2 identification?
And to think it used to be confusing to explain to a customer the difference between 486 DX and 486 SX.
And where is the Intel Sexium chip we've been waiting for?
But youtube isn't usually funny!

Now if most of youtube's content could be somewhat funny, or even "slightly more funny than bland humor" I would see comparing it to funniest home videos. Like it is, youtube is painful to endure. I would venture to say countless people singing into a qvga camera isn't exactly entertaining for most of us.
Apple has a secret. Their mass-appeal toys are simple. The first ipods did one thing, music. The competitors crammed music and audio recording and yada yada yada...
The second ipod does music and videos. Not all the codecs mind you, but what percentage of regular users know what a codec is? They just know the icons with play buttons on them aren't just big pictures, they are videos and should play when clicked. The competition now steps it up a notch and does audio, video, fm recording (and broadcasting), usb mass storage, touch screens, vga screens, bluetooth, etc. But of those things, usrs only know what they know... so most of the features go unused. Users do know ipods do video though...
The next ipod incarnation will add another feature. It will be a feature people actually want / need / will use. Perhaps it's wireless sync with their home pc (with included iWiFiDock). Other toys *ahem* mp3 players will continue to blossom with features, but most people will not care.
Microsoft's new DAP/DVP/social networking toys will surely get some people interested, but really, who sits in a room full of strangers now and actively looks around for people to meet and talk to, speaking to 6 or 8 at a time? Is that going to be a selling point to someone who doesn't even understand how that technology works, why they would want to do it and what kind of other people would be doing the same thing? Besides a singles party or a high school, who will whip this device out to bandaid their social ineptness?
Don't get me wrong, if I had one I'd try it out, but I will never pay money for one. My VGA pocket pc with 8GB flash card plays full screen video for several hours in virtually all formats, about every audio format, and it has games on it so I can keep myself entertained when I'm with the in-laws.
And just so everyone knows, I do not like ipods. I despise them. And I actually do use features like bluetooth and fm record. My favorite DVP/DAP player at the moment (on paper) is the IUBI from Korea. XVID, touch screen and a big HDD. It looks simple, isn't to big, and it has a lot of features. If I could just figure out how to get one shipped to the US that would be great.
If Youtube doesn't get some more VC soon to pay their estimated $1mil/month bandwidth costs, they may be worth nothing more than 600 or so servers. http://blog.forret.com/2006/05/youtube-bandwidth-t erabytes-per-day/
Keep in mind that article was written in May... Bubble 2.0 can change a lot in 3 months.
But at least we have electronic toilets.

A few hours after we proudly have a story on the electronic toilet, we have a story about the failures of electronic equipment that should be more accurate and reliable than anything else...
Ever think we spend our time perfecting the wrong equipment?

We can still blame Sony. Slashdot said they are the ones that made the batteries. Slashdot is always right.
Has Sony had any good news recently?

If I didn't have the web, I wouldn't have to put up with questions like this.

Seems like a lot of hassle, but effective. Is this workaround something Apple could/would disable in the future?
...the power of Python.
I find a good way to defend myself is to deny I have the ability to use a wiki.
If these guys say they aren't intelligent enough to edit an entry in wikipedia, why should we trust them to run a ferry?
