But if you had to use a helicopter today, would you choose an Osprey or a Chinook?
It isn't so much the amount of money that went into it, or the number of problems that it had. What should have killed it was the incident with falsifying maintenance records. Who knows at this point how safe they really are?
I don't think it's a law firm. Their website says they do "foreign credentials evaluation" which sounds like they should be experts at determining whether, say, a Wikipedia entry is valid or bogus.
I'm looking at a SCSI RAID controller right now with one host channel and 6 drive channels. If I mirror a drive on two different drive channels I can run full speed writes from the host with no drive contention. Both mirrors are getting written in parallel.
It might be possible to read partial data from each mirror, but I've never seen a RAID controller do that. This one queues each read to the least busy mirror. Otherwise it has to process two SCSI commands instead of one.
My wife's laptop drive (30 GB Travelstar) went bad and I did this. After trying everything else, I put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. It brought it back to life long enough to get most of the data off, then died for good.
Why would they do that? More market share? Higher stock price? Maybe they just aren't motivated by corporate greed.
When you say "bootstrapped" you mean Unix? You mean the system that the original GNU folks tested, fixed bugs in and wrote pieces of and then found out was being claimed by AT&T as proprietary? They should be grateful?
That makes this news quite a coincidence. Novell shoots Suse in the foot, ESR shoots RedHat in the head, and the only one left standing is Ubuntu. Where's my tinfoil fedora?
The actors who are getting millions of dollars aren't getting it for acting. They are getting it for putting bodies in theatre seats. Actors are paid more if their name sells tickets. Unknown actors get paid next to nothing.
This will get worse. In 20 years, there will be a library of well-known, stored virtual actors. Few new actors will be able to break in and make it to the top. The estates of todays's top actors will be set for life + 70 years.
No. No. No. Try these steps in increasing order of difficulty:
Step 1) Find the numbers that can only go in one square.
Step 2) Find the squares where only one number can go (not exactly the same set)
Step 3) Find a pair of squares in the same row, column or group where only two numbers can go and eliminate these choices from the rest of the squares in the row, column or group
So let's just settle it. We will call scientists who don't know what they're doing "researchers" and scientists who do know what they are doing "engineers".
Blocking outbound connections? They might block inbound DNS connections to PCs on dynamic addresses in order to prevent trojaned machines from acting as DNS servers for spam sites, but blocking outbound port 53 is just stupid.
Slashdot has until now been a free service, however this has seriously cut into our profits so we have unfortunately had to initiate a fee of $5.00 per post. Since the deal was obviously unfair to us in the past, we will be retroactively charging you for your previous 699 posts. Your total will be automatically added to your credit card in the amount of $36669.75. Naturally, this includes interest on the money owed us in the past. Thank you for your contribution.
What I thought was interesting is the claim that Windows adds $50 on average to the cost of a computer, pre-installed. First off, that's a lot less than the retail price. Second, regardless what you think of it, it's pretty cheap for a substantial piece of software that comes with installation and support.

I tried to write an evolution sort, but my code crashed due to a missing link.
Look at the problems the Osprey has had. They still plan to deploy them to Iraq this year.
Actually, when she said that she had been drinking and using drugs heavily. In fact, her use of drugs has tripled in the last 6 months.

With the two drives on separate channels, mirrored writes can be done in parallel.

What fool would be taken in by this?
Personally, I'm downloading SystemDoctor 2007.
"There is no reasonable scenario which would ever put the IFE system in a position to affect the avionics"
You're right. That would be as stupid as running electrical wires through a fuel tank.

It's open source. If you need a function for your business, hire someone to write it, then give it back to the project. Or are you just a leach?
No. No. No. Try these steps in increasing order of difficulty:
Step 1) Find the numbers that can only go in one square.
Step 2) Find the squares where only one number can go (not exactly the same set)
Step 3) Find a pair of squares in the same row, column or group where only two numbers can go and eliminate these choices from the rest of the squares in the row, column or group
Step 4) Feed puzzle to dog.
This is an example of using the wrong tool for the job.
You should have written it as a Word macro.

From the EE TImes article:
"The new design uses a three-transistor micro-sense amp that lets voltage current directly drive transistor gates."
voltage current?
