Sorry, I should have been more specific to include that was one of the two Maxtor drives I had that had failed, as well as a friend that had several fail on him, as well.
Also, it was far easier to go return the Maxtor and buy a bigger Western Digital (went on sale after I bought the Maxtor, so just good timing on that part), since it was still in the return period.
I'm one of those people that thinks Western Digital (is close to the best, I've never had a Seagate drive so I don't want to say for sure) and I do know Maxtor is crap. I bought a Maxtor drive that failed within a week of putting it in my computer.
I have a 30gb WD that came with a computer I got in 2000 that hasn't failed yet, I have two 250gb's that only one has failed (actually I bought a 160, it was a misboxed 200 and they RMA'd me back a 250) and now two 500gb drives in my computer.
Though, if you haven't read it, Google published a paper how they use tons of cheap hard drives with their special filesystem to allow for enough redundancy for these cheap drives to fail and easily be replaced. It's an interesting paper, though it's too bad they didn't release the actual technology.
To be fair, Blu-Ray isn't all Sony, and isn't 100% proprietary, as it uses Java and other company's technologies. It's not some Sony VM and Sony Video Format.
Assume you're using a 1500 MTU, which would be 1500 bits. If your connection is 5mb, that's approximately 3,495 packets per second if you're using your connection at full speed. That's some really rough math, and guesswork by a non-network engineer, but 100 SYN packets isn't really that bad.
Also, Comcast shouldn't shut down any connection doing that sort of thing. If they did, we wouldn't have half the problems of botnets or the like. (Not that that'd be a bad thing, but it's not the ISP's job, at least, not right now)
Try Googling your cable box serial number and firewire, you'll probably come across a program that can change channels. There are a lot more models that have Firewire support that don't have video avaliable, that you can just use the connection for channel control.
Needlessly? Have you actually used Office 2007? I didn't even know there was Research stuff in Office until 2007. You could never find anything other than the -most- used items in those horribly disorganized menus.
They haven't done it here (Saginaw, MI)
Charter here does it, whenever I'm at a friend's I make sure to tell them to use OpenDNS instead (where at least it's useful.) Charter here has horrible DNS problems anyway (one of my own websites could never be accessed with their DNS, though other sites on the same server could be found)
What if we run up against an innate limit in our brains, and our technology can proceed no further? I agree that this certainly seems possible, if what you said about H. Ergaster is true. However, look at the technology we've created and progressed from in a few thousand years, and where we are now. On top of that, even if we do hit that limit, we may continue to evolve past Homo Sapiens.
The ISP probably didn't write their own virus-scanning software. They probably bought it, and the company they bought it from may or may not be paying royalties.
At least on CDMA networks, a data connection (1x or EV-DO) is required to send and recieve MMS, unlike just a voice connection for MMS. So it's even more expensive, if you consider buying actual data costs far less.. not to mention at least Verizon also charges you airtime for the data usage, on top of the cost of the message itself. (However, I like charging airtime for data, as I never use all my minutes anyway, therefore it's 'free')
Yes, with one of the firmware updates (1.1.1?) Apple added the ability to change the data connection information, so it could be used with other carriers.
I think in this case, though, (at least where everyone's concerns lie) it may be less the AT&T the DSL company and more the AT&T the fiber backbone company.
You are correct, that's been in use since 2002. PHP's website CVS shows http://www.php.net/urlhowto.php (the page describing their search system) being first checked in at Sat Mar 23 10:43:25 2002. (See the file in CVS)

Well, if you used some sort of search indexing, a 5MB drive would take less time to index than a 500GB drive..

Google doesn't even own the pictures, they get them from another company, just like their maps. GMaps is just what's displaying it.

If his purpose was to stop people from buying their music entirely, it may have worked.

Does that mean you get extra points for actually owning Minority Report?
Maybe that's why the machines won't return his body?
Awesome, someone from my state is sponsoring the bill. That means I get to write him and complain!

I know I did. Then I saw it talking about Perl and was wondering what the heck onions have to do with Perl. (Protip: I don't use Perl)
If a buffer were the only thing standing between Real and certain doom, Real would never die.
Ever heard of a virtual keyboard?
Couldn't they just have said 1.6 million? Or 1,600,000? But 1 million and 600,000?
