Eye-Fi is one manufacturer of the type of SD card the grandparent is talking about. Their cards in particular have a small amount of storage, a Wi-Fi radio, and a tiny client which automatically uploads pictures written to the storage via the SD interface to a designated server via a proprietary protocol apparently based on HTTP.
It seems possible that this magnetic affectation could be a cause of spontaneous damage the hard drive servo information.
This would cause one of the clicking-type malfunctions which you described, as that "clicking" you hear is the noise the head assembly makes when the drive is rapidly moving it back and forth across the platter attempting to get a fix.
The person he was replying to kept using Tb instead of TB. Information is information no matter what the medium is, and imprecision in communication is still imprecision in communication. I wouldn't call it a prank, just a strict parse. =OP
I believe what he said was "a Tb is 128 GB." Tb is short for terabit, one of which is roughly 1/8th of a terabyte. So a TB is 1024 GB, but a Tb is 128 GB. He wasn't very clear on that, but you have to read carefully when you read technical things because technical people seem to adore setting traps like that.;O)
The problem is the lack of support for even the most basic of current web technologies, such as XHTML or CSS. Try visiting even Google using an old copy of IE4 and you'll get script errors. I Pentium 75 laptop with Windows 95 and it's difficult to find a browser that does support modern web pages for such a platform.
Proposed solution: strew the candidates in random order and put a substantial of "fake", non-existent candidates on the ballots who don't actually correspond to a vote for anyone running. Any vote for one of these "candidates" is an automatic abstain.
They already do this with the American system. They usually place the non-affecting votes under the column labeled "Libertarian" or "Working Families." =OP
The problem is when those lazy users get unwittingly added to somebody's botnet. It doesn't matter what kind of data is on their PC if the PC itself can be used to DDOS others or as a proxy to hack other sites or even as something like a child porn cache. The possibilities for remote malicious activity go far beyond data access.
Saying yes when offered a choice only means that you want one of the options... Further questioning ("Well, which one do you want?") is required to determine which of those options you want.
The fact that there are decent numbers of people with no interest in those features suggests it might be more productive to make them into optional modules, no?
I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to use the Wand info. If you've been doing upgrade installations until now your copy of Opera 9.0 should have all of your information since you started using Opera. Are these installations on seperate machines?
Anyway, you can find your Opera settings in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your user name]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile if you have Opera set to use multiple user profiles or C:\Program Files\[Opera directory]\profile (I think, or something like that,) if you have it set to keep all settings in the program directory. The file that contains your Wand info is called wand.dat. Just copy that file over from the old Opera installation to replace the wand.dat from whatever current version you're using. Similarly, your search engines are in search.ini, your bookmarks are in opera6.adr, your notes are in notes.adr, and your contacts are in contacts.adr. I think your toolbar and keyboard and voice settings are in the toolbar, keyboard, and voice directories. I use a file sync program with these files to keep my Opera environment in sync on my desktop and my tablet and it works perfectly.
Actually, he said he put it on 5 machines. So it's $1,500 worth of time. Considering the fact that a Google search and applied solution takes about 10 minutes, maximum... His time must be worth a lot!
I hate to be cynical, but in my area they heavily traffic the interstate until everyone has a ticket for going 3 MPH over the speed limit. Back alleys aren't as profitable so they're not really a concern. =OP
That's lovely. An English pluralization to a Japanese word in a Swedish sentence. My head hurts.
I always use the pluralization according to the language the specific word belongs to. In the case of Ninja, I use the plural form "Ninja" because Japanese words have no plural form.
I think the parent is referring to a function of the Windows Volume Control. (File -> Properties -> Recording) Then you can use something like CoolEdit to record.

Maybe it's intentional, maybe it's not, but it does seem to be a trend.
"The work was partly funded by DARPA, with the hope of creating more advanced prosthetics for wounded war veterans."
Yeah, sure, that's what it's for, Mr. Sarin.

Did you mean:

That would be "tea and coffee."

Did he specifically say he was unhappy, though?
Lack of physical interpersonal interaction doesn't necessarily lead to unhappiness, does it?
I think he means Jane.

Words have definitions so that we can easily and accurately convey ideas. I believe the correct term for Pluto is now "dwarf planet."
Besides that, you can easily try out if Linux is for you, with the use of LiveCDs (do you know any LiveCDs for Windows?) :)

Then you might as well zip up that "profile" directory I mentioned. As I pointed out individually, all of the environment settings are right there. ;O)

Plus, you have a local copy of the updates in the future in case MS were to stop supporting Windows XP in order to force everyone onto Vista DRM...
I think I love you...
