Thank you, thank you. I have spent many hours in two minute increments waiting for those drives to spin up and I never knew why it took so long

Julian Assange is the first true dissident, prisoners of conscience of the English civilization.
Really? Thomas Moore? Bishop Cranmer? Alan Turing? Thomas Becket?

I'm more of a pedestrian than a driver, but I see people every day yaking on their cell phones while driving cars. I've learned to stay clear of them because they simply don't see me. There is no doubt in my mind that cell phone use should be banned from cars.
It didn't take that long. The NYT reported on November 10th that it was most likely an airplane; I heard an expert on NPR say it was a contrail on Tuesday, not long after the event.
Yes you can rewind and fast forward. There's a progress bat to show you where you are but the image doesn't change. That makes it harder to find a particular spot. There's also a delay after a ffwd/rewind operation while it buffers the appropriate part of the file. That said, I love the Roku.

I made a set of APL fonts for the Apple II back in 1981, so that I could use the Apple as an APL terminal. Sadly, I no longer have the fonts or the Apple II.
Yes, they do. In the 80's Audi had a very similar problem. They ended up recalling the cars and putting an interlock on the shift so that you couldn't shift into drive unless your foot was on the brake. That was a mechanical linkage and there was no way that the drivers reports could have been correct. The brakes are simply stronger than the engine. In the end the Feds declared it all due to driver error and the furor died down. Crowd-sourced information can be very wrong!
Why do they need to emulate Eudora. I still use my copy every day. It runs fine under 64-bit Windows 7.
We are experiencing system trouble -- do not adjust your terminal.
