    Cool, so you can get us support if we install it? That's awesome. Thanks man!

  5. Re:I guess I'm an optimist... on Low Quality Alloy Cause of Shuttle Main Tank Issue · · Score: 1

    The problem with that is Congress has no goals in space. "Lets be better than Europe and China" isn't a goal for a space program. Congress likely isn't qualified to determine our progress in space. Instead, they know how to make requirements that benefit their districts.

    Either way, its a huge amount of bureaucracy, which can likely be better served by companies in it for profit, wanting to develop space flight for long-term use.

    Good. You break it, it's your problem then.

    Rules are there for a reason. Security policies are there for a reason. If you don't like it, go to another job where they "get" you. Then, you can wonder why their IT budget is ballooning and you can't get your bonus.

  8. Re:Need a computer to do the copying on France Planning Non-Windows Tablet Tax? · · Score: 1

    Also, don't lawmakers ever consult a real technical person when it comes to stuff like this?

    What? No. You're getting this backwards. Lawmakers don't seek out people informed with opinions. People with opinions (and agendas) lobby lawmakers to get their views legislated.

    This is the result of profit-driven enterprise gaining access to political power, and nothing else.

  9. Re:Very true on Al Franken Makes a Case For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I think the traffic-shaping cat is already out of the bag. I think we need to BUILD the capacity we need. Federal funds, common carrier. If you want to peer, play by the (neutral) rules. I would like our tax dollars spent at home.

    NO (!) content restrictions, no censorship on these lines. If something illegal is going on, that's a job for investigators.

  10. Re:Should be irrelevant who controls government on Al Franken Makes a Case For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I'd say it is less about "tweaking" regulations, and more about the enforcement. That seems to be where partisan lines are drawn. Like all laws in the US, network neutrality will be interpreted and enforced differently, depending on who is in charge.

  11. Re:The text in a readable format on Comcast Accused of Congestion By Choice · · Score: 1

    At the very least, this proves the data is available and could be dug up in Discovery. I'll agree that it isn't enough info to base a lawsuit on, but it probably could open the door.

  12. Re:Fence Sitting on Net Pioneers Say Open Internet Should Be Separate · · Score: 1

    I take issue with your statement, probably because it is very broad. There are no inherent problems with fiber and IPv6.

    I take issue with your second sentence as well, because we both know that the building of any infrastructure will be subsidized with tax dollars. This will happen regardless of neutrality or non-neutrality. I argue that upgrading is the way to go.

    QOS and DPI are already in place. Our current net is not neutral. Leaving Internet Classic on IPv4 will just make it more deprecated.

    I don't even want to have this discussion. Two nets is not an option, in my opinion. Hobbling the "good" internet with IPv4 isn't a good consideration for the two-net scenario, either.

  13. Re:Fence Sitting on Net Pioneers Say Open Internet Should Be Separate · · Score: 1

    Why? Why stay with ipv4 on internet Classic? So we can have NAT?

    Or, is it just because you're used to it?

  14. Re:Hackintosh rack server? on Apple To Discontinue Xserve · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would say good luck getting OSX to drive your HP's SCSI array, or your Dell's quad-port NIC.

    Compatibility lists are always your friend in the land of hackintosh. You might be able to do something with 3U or 4U generic cases. Support would likely go out the window too.

    The "I will probably get modded down for this" cognitive dissonance ploy only works if you're logged in.

    I don't think the spoiler disclaimer is necessary on a 16 year old movie. However, your recollection of inane facts is superb.

    While your description is the best I've seen so far in this thread, you still only list dimensions for a two-dimensional object.

    I commend you, AC, for being both the most informative, and yet almost entirely useless.

  22. Duh? on Microsoft To Offer Windows 7 On USB Thumb Drives? · · Score: 1

    I assumed the summary meant WIRELESS Broadband data plans? The mention of "broadband data cap", I thought, indicated this. Netbooks, after all, are intended to be portable, on the go machines; many of which bundle data plans for subsidizing costs on the computer itself.

  24. Re:Craziness on Telco Sues Municipality For Laying Their Own Fiber · · Score: 1

    It is in your "best interests" because you can't afford a lobbyist to bribe, kick, and scream until legislation is drafted in your favor. That is the ultimate problem; companies have (unnatural) political power, and their power base is spread out so that ethical and moral issues are only important when they impact the bottom line.

  25. Re:Multiwave on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 1

    "...and they have a single 12V rail for stability."

    Is there a reason for this besides having fewer parts to go bad? I've typically put HDs and optical drives on one rail, system on the other, depending on amperage rating.

    I'm only asking because I've never heard that one before, but I tend to buy middle of the road (not cheap, not expensive) parts to begin with.
