It's from them or their marketing partner.
I'm putting my money on a marketing campaign gone wrong.
If you have line of sight, you might consider reading 'Diary of a Not-spot' posted on The Register.
Hopefully some of what he's tried and gone through could be of help to you.
This is one site I truly come to for the comments.
I often lurk and rarely post, I'm just not that social.
It's an end of an era now that Taco is gone.
But thanks for the OMG PONIES!!!
Right now they are all pointing to different pages.
The description appears to be the same for all but the requisition number on each is different, as is the URL.
IANAL but in Georgia a waiver isn't worth the paper it's printed on. You can't waive your rights before something happens. A number of other states also have similar laws or case law regarding this.
Now making them sign a waiver to get out the door is another story.
Nope, was using firefox. I'm just surprised that slashdot would have popups. Same here.
Popup address is: amch.questionmarket.com...
Logo is Safecount.net and says "Take a Survey" and it claims to be for research purposes only.
Polaris Micro makes a chip based on OpenSparc.
They're also considering using the OpenSparc architecture for building a version that plugs into the "Torrenza" chip socket used by Advanced Micro Devices.
Let's hope they don't charge a per-seat or per-user fee for IIS.
And if they changed it to apply to servers already running ISS, you'd go bankrupt in the time it would take to rip the cord out of the wall.
I realized that after I posted it. However looking at other high capacity drives I'm noticing a similar trend of slow speeds.
Although this one is one of the "better" ones I've come across.
-Supports USB Specification 1.1/2.0
-Full compliance with Universal Serial Bus Specification v2.0
-USB 2.0 data transfer rate up to 480Mbps at "High Speed"
-USB 2.0 is 40X faster than USB 1.1 -Speed: Read 8M bit/sec, Write 6.4M bit/sec (Max)
Such double speak in only a few lines, it's great.
Yeah, he could countersue, but that doesn't help anybody. Most people don't have the financial means to enter into a civil suit with an organization the size of the MPAA
Actually as a plaintiff in a civil suit it doesn't cost you anything to bring forth a case (provided you use an attorney and you don't fire them). This is because if the attorney is willing to represent you, they assume all costs and expenses expecting a return when a verdict is reached in the plaintiffs favor. They then take their agreed upon fee/percentage from the recovery and then deduct the expenses from your portion (exception is class action suites).
The attorney agrees to take your case on the basis that your claim has merits (or they think they can make money (if they're a sleaze ball)). If they don't win or there is no recovery made, they take the loss. If you fire them then they can bill you for their time and expenses.
Except for the fact that many states have laws essentially stating that you can't sign away your rights to/for something before it happens.
In GA for example, I can sign all those waivers I want but if something happens and it's their fault or they failed to properly warn/inform me, then that waiver isn't worth the paper is's printed on.
The government has patented numerous things.

Your tax dollars at work, helping to generate more revenue with those tax dollars.
I believe what you're referring to is a device that attaches itself to the vehicle and sends a high voltage static discharge to disable the vehicles electronics.
As a previous poster noted, an EMP is hard to generate "on demand" and in a portable version.
The other thing you have to consider is distance to the fiber (nearest interconnect) and the available fiber to the city as a whole. While you may only have to lay fiber for a few miles to get to the backbone, if the backbone isn't large enough, it doesn't do you any good. You have to look at the long term.

Secure Syslog?!?
I'm still waiting for regular syslog on Windows.
So far, Acrobat Create PDF 1.1 is incompatible.
Not again!
Adobe just released the update two weeks ago to fix the Create PDF plugin so it would work with FF6.
This is getting out of hand.
Thanks for all you've done.

"ZFS - Are you really using your server for data storage? SAN or NAS should be a better option depending on your price point"
Why not set up a server for data storage? Then you get all the ZFS checksum/auto-heal/snapshot goodness ?
That's why there is Thumper (aka Sun Fire X4500) that can hold 48TB in 4RU.
Considering that, it makes a 20TB SAN seem small.
I'll second that.
Except for the part of living in Georgia, I live in Atlanta. There's a BIG difference.
No it was just a simple popup of a .gif image that linked to the survey.
I only allowed firefox to open it out of curiosity.

It was the Mindspring engineers that were brilliant. When they merged with Earthlink they "laid off" all the good people.
It was sarcasm.

I would think that 64GB should be enough for anyone! But it's never enough.
Talk about something you'd really hate to loose.
Yea, IP lookup shows it's DSL by Ameritech

I don't remember where in the specs I read it, but it is rail mounted and has a place for the cords when you push it back in.
