As I said. "Not arguing about the declaration that RAID is not a backup, but it is, by definition, redundant.".
I was refering to the statement that Domint made, "If the bits get fubar'ed on one drive, that will propagate across the rest - leaving you with no data" which only applies to mirroring.
MPEG4 (aka DivX/Xvid) has not always been there either. I remember the early days when everyone clamored for mpg or qt format over DivX as they didn't need the codecs.
With DivX's "support" of H.264 and MKV, how long do you think it will be before the set-top boxes and the portables start coming out with support for that. Not too long if I don't miss my guess.
Especially with the move to more "legal" online content, I think there will be less resistance, not to mention more support, for a higher quality option.
It was not stated that it would be immune to attacks, rather the worm threat would be mitigating the threat of this worm.
Also, he did not say Linux, he said a *nix based system. Which, until NT, most systems in such entities were.
*nix based systems are not invulnerable, but it takes a lot more than a script-kiddie with a script generator to penetrate and subvert than in *nix based systems.
But, regardless of your OS predilection, you should be able to admit that Windows based systems have an extremely higher rate of penetration and subversion.
I think the reference to premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc) vs network television. And technically, I can get some of that content for free via antennae.
He did not say they were renting by the hour, rather that would be another way for them to charge us more.
As a former Windows support tech, I feel I earned my right to hate windows and the company from which it was spawned. It has gotten better, but I also know that there are security holes that have been dismissed and bugs that have been blatantly ignored. The perception, on my part as well as others that I know, is that MS is counting on the sheep to write off errors, BSODs and the like to user error.
I have used M$, Micro$oft, Windoze and Winblows. I know it seems childish, but sometimes it is a great way to blow off some steam, especially in one line posts that are not meant to be prophetic or informative, but instead exist solely to express your disdain with the company and or product. I am a Linux user. I use Linux exclusively at home. I think that many Windows users could successfully, and happily, convert to Linux. However, I do realize and freely admit that there is a place in this world for Windows. It is just, in my humble opinion, not a big a place as Microsoft and the Windows fanboys think it is. (Note: Fanboi is not a real word. If you want to post a diatribe against someone for their use of cultural nomenclature, perhaps the sound decision should be to not use it in your post.)
I will admit to the occasional download using BT. I justify my downloads as they are available for free from the web site of the show, but the plugins are not available for me to view the streams.
Anyway, I get letters from my ISP that are copies of the complaint sent to them by the studio. The studio is threatening the ISP to try to force them to do the bullying of the "violator".
I am not in any way condoning what the ISPs are doing and am in no way condoning uTorret's use of UDP to try to circumvent the issue under discussion in the original post.
Hopefully they choose the same route with Acrobat reader.
It'd be nice if the full products were available as well. Adobe used to have a version of Photoshop for Unix.
It'd be nice to get a few mainstream apps ported to further cement the foundations of the *nix user baser. It should be even easier now that Macintosh is on an x86 platform. OS X is built on a BSD foundation. One would think that there would be a natural transition to GNU/Linux porting of the Adobe apps. It'd be a win/win situation.
I like how these blanket statements of damnation are frequently made by, appropriately tagged, Anonymous Cowards.
While I will be among the first to admit that the US has its problems, blanket accusations such as this appear to say that everyone in the US (not America, that is a continent - two actually) is racist.
Inflammatory statements like that are likely only going to serve to get your comments in their entirety written off as just unfounded accusations and overblown bravado.
Depends on where you live. In many markets, there are small DSL providers and a few larger ones too. They just are not as well advertised.
Try looking in the yellow pages for internet providers. You might be surprised. Some of the smaller providers might charge a bit more, but you may get better customer service.

Yes, but the printing was done to a card and not to a national database. It was a reference piece in case you were kidnapped.
I see the pros and cons of the DNA as well as the fingerprinting. Being in the tech sector, I can respect just to what level it can be abused.

If I do sudo rm -rf / I get what I deserve.
However, like I said, if it is critical, it is backed up in multiple places.
Depends on the level of RAID. I have yet to see this in any of my RAID 5 arrays.
Not arguing about the declaration that RAID is not a backup, but it is, by definition, redundant.
If I have critical data, it is stored in two (or more) locations (both electronic and physical).

Worse. They are evil as well as incompetent.
You did it on Linux five years ago?

You have a gigabit "wireless" NIC? Must look in to this.
Here I've been hobbling along at 54Mbps. Where did you get your computer? 2054?
I have had great experience with Atheros.
My, now dead, Acer worked great. Picked up as soon as I installed Kubuntu.
The Wireless chip set is one of the biggest drivers for my laptop selection process. I do not run Windows (except at work and in a virtual machine).
Same here...
I can enable remote admin of it as well and manage torrents while away.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Yeah, but in all fairness, Adobe (and previously Macromedia) didn't have a 64-bit version for Windows either.
I just hope this puts ideas in to the heads of the Acrobat group and we see a 64-bit reader plugin too.
That is like saying that a witness to ongoing child abuse is unaware because they choose to look the other way.
They are unaware if they choose to be.

Be my guest.
Unfortunately, the future crusty old bastards are already drinking the kool-aid.

That would be boring and redundant. After all, it is likely he "invented his name. Would want something else named the same nowwould he?
NPH = Neill Patrick Harris (aka Doogie Houser)
Yeah. They have been lacking in that area for a while now.
Maybe, if the OP's speculation is true, we should try to manipulate M$ to do a Silverlight 64bit and Adobe would rush to beat them.
