"Anyone have any idea what the battery-life is on this thing, btw?"
well lets see.. if he put in an extended Li like lenovo uses i think their largest is 90wh.. and the newest Jasper uses 150w.. so using that i don't see any more than 25-30m.. probley less cause that 150w doesn't take the LCD into account.. which is a desktop one so about 30w.. so 180w... 90wh.. yea 30min at best on the very first use of the battery
wonder if CA will try to pass a law making these jets have a noise generator so that the blind can hear them coming (you know like their trying to do with eletric cars)
"Gotta love how being disabled automatically makes everything you do amazing and inspiring."
That is because it is amazing and inspiring - if you have ever worked one on one with disabled children - and seen them struggle on the simplest of concepts - when they findly get it it is inspiring - but when they go past that and do something you had never even considered them able to do - that is amazing and truley inspiring.
your comment as a lack of compassion - till you have any understanding what these peoples lives are like do not by any means put them down for anything they do or can't do - instead just keep quite and move along
but a R5 solution would work even if all the media is failing - as (at least personaly) i've not seen to CD's fail in the same block - yes if 2 disks failed at the same block then it would be a lost block but if they failed randomly as along as they failures arn't in the exact same block the data would still be readable
so your suggesting raid1 instead of raid5? that would increase the number of CD/DVD's needing to be stored consideribly.
this really isn't that bad of an idea for burning a backup file that spans multible CD/DVD's
i can see several diffrent ways it could be done.. question is who has the time and will to make it - if someone did come up with it i think i might use it
actualy that isnt' as bad as you think.. once you read MS's terms for windows licensing in virtual enviroments you realize that it isn't a affordable option
example
server 2008 virtualization under server 2008 culster -- if you have 4 physical boxes and 4 virtual machines that can be moved between the 4 physical ones you will need a licens for each host (physical) and one for each host (virtual) per physical host (aka you will need one for each posiable virtualization senerio) so 4p + (4p*4v) = 20 licenses (and that is before you get into CAL's which have the same virtual to physical tie in. so say you want 100 call's per virtual box you will need 4p*4v*100c = 1,600 cal's instead of 400..
funny you mention that.. people whos computers i have had to clean viruses and crap off of because it was obvious they where browseing porn with IE.. install opera and inform them to use it instead... they have a odd face but hey i havn't had to touch any of their comps again (thankfuly)
FYI the XP licence for 2 CPU is 2 physical sockets (that's how MS defines it for XP) if you where to install it on a dual quad core box it would see all 8 usable cores and would run them perfectly fine

i agree that hte more space you have the more you waste.. personaly i could see my self living in something like this
that's what i'm thinking - if this even did allow it - a cop to stop a biker and take his colors right there.. i know one thing.. if i was a cop i wouldn't do it - no way in hell would i do that - that is just asking to get shot or stabbed or hunted down and killed after the fact.
no cop in their right mind will do that (sure there are alot that think they are superman but again they are alittle crazy)
falseifying (sp?) your identity with intent to defraud is illegal - and because these are people scamming and not just joe sixpack with a tinfoil hat then yes what they are doing is illegal as you can easily argue that CallerID info can be considered a way to identitify someone.
as i have replied to others - where i live you can request the power company install one - and they will do so for free - the only trick is once you request it you can not go back to a normal meeter
where i live the power meeter it's self costs nothing - normal or time of use
obviously the rates are diffrent - normal is a flat cost - and time of use is a varried - higher than normal on peak and lower off peak
they will install a time of use for free at no cost - the only trick is - once you REQUEST to switch to a time of use you can not go back to a normal meeter. if on the other hand you move into a house that has a time of use you can use it and later if you want request to go to a normal - it's just once you request to go to a time of use youc an't go back.
personaly the time of use (once we realized that is what we had) is nice and realy helps lower our power bills by jsut changing a few things in our way of life - without having to spend larger sums of money replacing things with more effecient things
we don't have allthe lights on CFL's as they hurt my eyes (i can still see the flicker and they give me head ach's - also not many can be put on dimmers)
also note that you are in a townhouse - the average town house shares 2 walls with neighbors so the heat/cool loss with out side air is drasticly reduced compared to a standalone home
also we pay 9.85 cents/kWh
i know people that live around here that have power bills 2-300$
if your using high quality coverters (which most don't have) you can get >90% eff on both sides.. (if run at the optimal load) so 100watt's *.9 to AC *.9 to DC again = 81 watts's.. so say 20% or more depending on the converters
this already happens if people try - where i live i opted for the time of use meter - where off peak power is extreamly cheap and on peak it is 2x or more normal price..
mix that with the fact that i have appliances with timers - we load the dish washer or washer or dryer and set it to run at 12-2am.. and go to bed..
in a 2 story house with 2 people the standard compliment of 3 comps and 2 laptops last month our power bill was 100$
if you try there is incentive to do it - you just have to be willing to make the effort
i expect it to be that they wanted to more force people to jump to the MBP line for video editing.. i mean really the people who dump enough money for any of their note books can some how reason to jump from the MB to MBP - sure they might be annoyed but they will do it.
as long as they where sealed.. even in the sunlight it would be a valid finding.. as last checked the sun is older than earth and there for would have be present

so you think we should install coffee makers in ICBM's? I like it... know any VC's or crazy governments to fund this?

yea i don't think we should pay welfare - but i also dont think we should outlaw scissors because some stupid kid runs with them
let him lose it all - it's his problem
no it isn't if you go throug and price one out you can also congigure the options on each node you add and 64gb was an option on the one i selected
