I don't think I understand your reply. My original comment was a disparagement of the statement "Excel is just about right".
The data I'd like to load into a spreadsheet is 365 by 1440 (by 10 numbers deep too, but let's ignore that for a moment).
A decent spreadsheet should be able to handle one column per day for a year. Excel handles 256 by 65536. Therefore in my opinion "Excel is not right".
I am sure that such a dataset could be loaded in some munged form, but the hassle would be extraordinary---hence I cannot use Excel for a task that Excel is supposedly suited for.
Now let's return to the original headline topic! I use jmacs with lots of terminals.
I saw the San Jose concert. The choral pieces (Halo, etc.) were just wonderful. Just as good as more "classical" concerts.
Also the real-time-Frogger music was a very interesting concept. But it was hard to really listen to because my brain kept screaming "why did you jump there?!" while they were playing.
Unless you use two AoE drives....
(Last year I read a performance review of AoE vs. iSCSI: TCP scales pretty well with multiple connections, AoE didn't. Maybe they've corrected it now.)
I recognize that these cases have been lost in court, but it still may be worth arguing that the *provider* (plaintiff) broke the law (if any), not the defendant.
Defendant sent a legal radio transmission in an unlicensed band.
Defendant listed to and decoded an unencrypted radio transmission in an unlicenced band.
Plaintiff relayed defendant's transmission *without the defendant's permission*.
Plaintiff responded to dendant's transmission *without the defendant's permission*.
The plaintiff's claims should be dismissed; as the defendant had no expectation that the plaintiff would take such action. Damages should be limited too by similar arguments.
IANAL, and courts are not necessarity logical either.

When I upgraded the RAM and RAID'ed my main drive, my Windows certificate key no longer worked. If I hadn't been near a telephone, I would have been unable to use the OS I'd paid for. I expect WGA will have similar issues. (In the end it cost me 20 minutes of hold-time.)
In CA at least, to get a driving license you need to:
have your photo taken
have your thumbprint taken
take a test
copies or originals of various identifying documents
and in return you are issued a card that is difficult to copy. The card's a bit better than a 9-digit number. Item 3 at least must keep some of the identity thefts at bay! B-)
On the plus side, the more SSNs (not a secure identifier) and bank account numbers (everyone you've ever written a check to has it) are out in the open, the less valuable they become to fraudsters.
At least, they would be, if institutions recognized that they are pretty worthless identification to begin with.

You realize, of course, that this will prevent you from reading it too? (You have to write the read command before you can read the data.)

How about a year's-worth of instantaneous solar radiation measurements, collected at one sample per minute. Now work out:
.)
1. What is the mean daily radiation over the year?
2. What is the mean radiation profile over a day?
I don't use Excel for it! (See http://dfsmith.net/cap
> Absolutely -- that and Excel.
Can it fit a years-worth of daily data into one row yet? (365 columns.)

Close, but you didn't get it quite right. 5MB = 5,000,000 bytes with 7 bits/byte. (See http://www.cedmagic.com/history/ibm-305-ramac.html and http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/05/19/1956-fir st-hard-drive-5mb/
