I have about 100 CD's with various files from about 1999-2000. Except 2 scratched ones (several files bad), all still work (well, they did several months ago when I last tested them).
Besides using quality media, he important thing is to verify the written CD/DVD after writing it, using the same drive and a different (older) drive. If it has any problems reading, or slow performance, it's useless for backup.
Not doing the verification, you might as well not do the backup.
I agree about mice (although logitech is better IMO), but whoever started fucking around with the function keys on the keyboards (they don't work anymore unless you press f-lock), should be ****, *****, ***** and ********* and then have his **** ******* off.

Is wrtsl54gs linux based?
The USB port is what I'm now missing in WRT54GL.
I'm thinking of buying the ASUS WL-500G Premium, if it's hackable.
> I would say that C's biggest strength is freedom of memory management.
The real "freedom" in C is pointer arithmetic and unchecked type-casting.
The reimplementation is not swing's major problem.
There are 2 problems:
1. It's far too slow/bloated. GC makes it worse as soon as you hit the page file.
2. It's not feature rich enough. It should not be the lowest common denominator, but should support the platform features and degrade gracefully.
Also, reimplementation of obsolete windows MDI in Swing was a stupid waste of effort which could be spent elsewhere.
Too bad it already happened a few weeks ago:

Unfortunately, "c:\Documents and Settings\user" is a huge PITA to type, compared to ~/ or even /home/user.
The first thing I do is to create c:\data, c:\mp3 and c:\work directories (and c:\home for cygwin)
Except that it's not just alarms and locks, it's also seatbelts, brakes, airbags and tyres that don't explode.
Since when does 'cc' require root privileges?
Sure, testing installation would require it, but development? No.
I'm sure one can run a per-user web server for testing web apps.
You assume that google will ban useful words like crack, hack, serialz, etc...
I'd ban anything related toword ServersCheck instead. Much easier to do and more reliable.
Small map size and crowd = fun.
I never liked people going on a 5 minute trek in Delta Force to reach the far away hill for sniper camping.\
Small map + knife, saw = much more fun.
Certainly. It even has some parts of video and sound drivers in users which is an even more obvious example.
Alternatively, Linux is just an user space module for Xen "microkernel".
Note, I don't mind binary drivers for 20% extra (some might even pay for them).
But I'll take the card without that 20% and open source drivers any day.
Your +20% card will be -20% card in a year anyway.
So, does this mean that the new combo-drive will take 2 drive bays and have 2 slots?
The peak was at The Best of Both Worlds, part 1.
Sure, there were some very good individual episodes after that, but that was the overall peak.
IMO.
However, sector size is 512 bytes, and the fs block size is usually around 4096 bytes, clearly both are powers of 2.
Is this api defined for C or C++?
This is #2 reason why both KDE and GNOME exist (#1 used to be the Qt licence).
IMO the only way to merge KDE and GNOME is to invent a new language that is between the two.
(Java might be it, if it didn't have GC/JVM overhead)
void main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
}
OS/2 was superior here >10 years ago compared both to windows and macosX are now. It used context menus for almost anything.
Sure, it's different, but it's totally superior once you get used to it.

Exactly. Together with a wireless PC remote (~$20), you don't need anything else.
One of the first SF books I read, a long time ago.
Try for example some unmoderated sci.physics.* groups...
> TCPA that gives the keys to YOU - GOOD

Exactly. TCPA without giving you the keys is the rootkit by definition.
I'll take 50Ah battery. Please make it 200V.
