Same here. Since all I need it for is to run Outlook 2003 for our corporate crap, all I need is XP in a VM. Just some 40GB I can copy to whatever machine I want and run it with a single kvm command. Now if only calendaring and tasks would work in Thunderbird with Exchange...
From the Hansen study: "Political and economic forces affecting energy use and fuel choice make it unlikely that the CO2 issue will have a major impact on energy policies until convincing observations of the global warming are in hand."
That may have been stiction. It was a big issue for some time a couple of years ago. Media was textured in the landing zone so the heads wouldn't stick on the super smooth data surface but the head retraction mechanisms weren't perfect so the head did sometimes land in the data zone when power failed. Chances are it gets stuck there. These days everybody uses ramp loading and the head isn't allowed to touch the disk ever. Power cycling the system (after a full backup) to check if it comes back is still good advice.
A Chrome and Firefox plugin that automagically downloads files via combined methods. Multiple HTTP/FTP connections a la axel plus BT, ed2k, Freenet, TOR if available. That would mean, that magnet links should generally include all of those methods (not sure if they can.)

+1. This.
The best Republican prez since Clinton.
You don't need a disaster. All you need is running out of easily obtained energy after squandering your inheritance.
Yes, it was a bunch of ex-Motorola folks who designed the 6502 under Chuck Peddle as a 6800 competitor. Tramiel bought MOS Technology though.
Well the IBM PC was *slightly* later than the C64.
Yes I'm too lazy to look it up.
Her name is Vista not Laura. You got that wrong.

Inject ads for porn sites. That'll get some attention.
Measuring temperature, how? Citation please.
The measured warming today is about 30% higher than their worst case scenario.

Come on, most people agree that Obama is a much better Republican President than GWB.
Actually the best since Clinton.
Yeah, warming is 30% higher than they predicted, they were clearly wrong.

I started to feel old in the eighties, you insensitive clod!
Yup. Commodore PET FTW.
There are many masochists, as evidenced by the fact that they use PHP at all.

What's going to happen with Qt if/when Nokia goes down the drain and gets swallowed by (probably) Microsoft?
An icicle has always been the perfect murder weapon.

With all the polution humans cause, and millions roads that we built, how can anyone dispute our involvement in climate change?
Because God made the planet so it's not for humans to change anything about it.
Remember a large fraction of the US populace believes this.
True, but in every application except serving few large files random access is the dominant pattern.
I like the way Intel is going with their graphics drives. While I generally loathe Intel, maybe they can push AMD and Nvidia in the same direction.
At least a couple hundred times.
The difference is that tape is removable. You do not want to move disk drives as a matter of course. They will break sooner or later.
