I've been using an HP 2600n for about a year (so far). It seems well built, the print quality is great. A full set of four toner cartridges are about $300 though.
It's not just a checkdisk/fsck type tool, but reads and refreshes all the blocks on the disk, with ECC on and off. It will beat on a sector hundreds of times if needed to get a trustworthy copy.
So, not for "Oops, I deleted a file" but for "I keep getting read errors on this vital file."
I know the emacs vs. vi holy war is a funny old meme, but why not just use a modern-style editor? We have these powerful graphical desktops with very standard interfaces.
Any editor where you have to take a hand off the keyboard in order to move the cursor is fundamentally broken.
You guys didn't read the question. He's not asking which platform has the largest installed base or anything like that. He's asking the best way to scratch a personal itch.
The iPhone SDK running on a OS X Leopard machine beats the development platform of those other phones hands down. The only drawback is if you =don't= want to distribute through the apps store, or Apple rejects your app, you have to buy the commercial developer's license so you can get your own signing key. But you don't have to pay anything (nada) until after you've got your application completed and running in the emulator. Then it's $99 to submit to Apple, or $299 to sign and distribute yourself.
Considering that they are taking care of all the billing, credit card processing, accounting and running the distribution/download site, yeah. I'd call that "only".
My mother claimed she always dreamed in color. I wasn't sure what that meant. My dreams usually have no color at all. I don't mean B&W, just concepts and shapes. If the dream needs color in context ("What color is the stoplight") then color is there, but otherwise not.
"For one thing, the kernel is quite complex and big, and it inevitably simply takes time to learn all the rules â" not just for the code, but for how the whole development environment works."
Perhaps Linus will change his mind about monolithic vs micro kernels. He's basically making Tannenbaum's case for him.
I'll grant they can stay aloft longer. But I question the "cheaper to operate" if you figure totally amortized costs for the plane, the maintenance, the bunker for the pilot, the satellite, etc.
And a plane with a pilot in it has better awareness of other planes, and can fly outside of military airspace.
Sounds like you want to try to get your hands on the One Laptop Per Child XO. It is extremely rugged (drop able) sealed against dust and dirt, waterproof (but not submersible), light, low power, solid state drive and memory card slot (for those saved pictures). Also mesh wireless, camera, stereo speakers.
There are some on eBay for way more than they sold for, but...
We're not talking "based on". We're saying Apple went through the hoops of the certification, paid their license money to The Open Group and is therefore "Real Unix". Posix 1003.1 compliant and all that. You can have a real unix, and use the trademark logos and all that if you write one in your mom's basement. It doesn't matter where your code base is from, it matters that you pass the tests.
By the way, FreeBSD did get certified once (in the mists of time--2.1?) but decided the effort to pass the certification tests and the expense of the license weren't worth it.
I have my Pickett all metal Log/Log slide rule in my hands. I'm pretty sure I bought it in 1982 (complete with leather belt holster).
I must admit, I never really got logarithms until I learned to use a slide rule.
That stood me in good stead when I was learning to fly, because at that time the "standard" tool for calculating things like estimated time enroute was a circular slide rule called an E6B.
This Slashdotting of the Going Out of Business posting is the first I've ever heard of AnywhereCD. Which is unfortunate, because I'd be a customer.
I have about 400 CDs, and buy one or two a month from Amazon. If I could get the same CDs, at approximately the same price but someone else would do the ripping for me, I'd be there.

When I was working on the reservation system for EuroDisney in Paris, I named the two servers in a cluster "Micquis" an "Pluteau".

Multi-platform =and= multi-protocol.

And, at https://developer.apple.com/iphone are video tutorials, reference libraries, sample code, how to's, tools, etc.
Make it easy on yourself.

Are UAVs better for this job then conventional manned aircraft?
UAVs make sense where the flight is into harms way, but this?
For what it's worth, we use Thawte and have never had a problem. Even let us re-roll a cert when (our error) we messed up the cert request.
Trivia: Thawte was founded by Mark Shuttleworth, the guy behind Ubuntu Linux.
Can you say "Entrapment?"
I knew that you could.
And diesel-electric locomotives destroyed the market for steam.

My ISP won't allow a TCP connection to port 25 of anything but their e-mail server. Fortunately, they are too incompetent to notice port 587.

I still have the Teletype.

Where did you get the "international enforcement" from. The company is in Flushing, New York.
I can't speak for their prior practices (fake IBM logos), but on their web site now they make it very clear they are selling third party batteries.
On the other hand, they are selling "iPod Nano alike MP3 players". Gotta love that "alike".
How far do you think a proposal to tax the services provided by lawyers would go?
