It gets interesting if the drive is behind a RAID controller. We just did that and it took a while to get it right and work around the bugs in pass through mode.

And there you have it. It's your own fault if you install any MS extension. Or any other extension from one of the big SW companies. Extensions are allowed to do almost anything to your browser.
The biggest obstacle to this is Outlook. I wonder when there will be a competitive FOSS app to replace it. Neither Evolution nor Thunderbird are there yet.
Hey, Mozilla! I hear your market share is shrinking. Add exchange connectivity and full calendar functionality to Thunderbird and you'll have a new killer app. Today Outlook/Exchange is just about the only thing that keeps Windows momentum up.
Yup it does. And for the times when you have to use Windows (like running Outlook) you just install your old XP in a Virtualbox VM. I do that even on my EeePC and it works perfectly.
We're past Peak Oil, so oil use will drop as oil becomes more expensive. In a few more decades large scale oil use will be a thing of the past. Until then ever more difficult, risky and expensive oil production methods will be used, so this will not be the last major accident.
There are failsafes and they may have activated. Remember that not even the ROVs could activate the BOP. The hydraulics are broken or stuck. What they should have is a shaped charge of explosives that can pinch the well bore shut. No hydraulics, just a very primitive electric ignition system needed.
So carbon or nuclear, by govt or by private, TAKE YOUR POISON. The only real alternative is to go back to a pre-modern society.
Just because you don't see it doesn't doesn't mean there is no way to use less energy overall and more (ultimately, mostly) environmentally friendly energy sources. European countries are well on their way and even China is seriously considering it. As opposed to the US.
Of course. I'm a taxpayer. That's how the system works. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. Obviously the majority of voters has liked this system for the last couple of decades, otherwise they might have done something about it.
Oh and you may need to have your sarcasm-o-meter recalibrated.
Quantifying the cost of what is now externalities (the "commons" like the environment, health of people and animals, natural resources) wold have to be the first step to make that work. The market approach only works if there are no externalities. Otherwise the commons could be exploited with impunity. What's the price tag on one Gulf of Mexico environment?
Did you notice how the news about the oil spill don't make the top headlines? Now it that spill was off China or Venezuela you can bet your ass it would be.
Just make every headline something like "Hot Teen Sex!!!" and you're all set with the SEO.
It seems to me it's just like that on many Internet sites. The HuffPo comes to mind. As much as I like the content, the headlines are often complete nonsense.

You just don't read marketese. Are you an engineer or what? If yes this is not for you.
I've never seen a Flash chip with an analog interface. Citation needed.

Yes.

... I'm actually surprised Perl isn't in the article.
Especially since it has an official cult: The Perl Monks

One problem is that a significant percentage (can't remember the number) of birds die even after cleaning because they ingested oil or oily food.

That's exactly how it works.
And the legal base for this would be?

The last thing you do is act like social psychopaths in search of money at any cost and continue.
Yes! I'd rather they acted like a good capitalist business in search of money at any cost and continue.
No, that's all just liberal propaganda to harm poor BP.

How long until Richard Dawkins will be sainted? 2510?
That's too mathematical for the AGW denier. Do you have a car analogy?
I'm wondering how the consequences and the total cost of the oil spill will compare to Chernobyl.

Damn. Can they put the porn back online and just leave the botnet off please?
Bah. God planted the superweeds. Evolution, what a hoax!
