"By the way, when you copy a file across a file system, from one drive to another, it gets a new creation time, so if all the files were "created" on a single day, that was when they were migrated over."

Not on a Windows system it doesn't. The only time you get a new date on it is when you download from an external system, or you manually change the date/time stamp.

You are looking at date_mod, not date_create there smart guy. I hire forensic experts and the AC seems to have a pretty solid grip.

On the other hand, it's good to see that they're leaning towards Wiimote-like gesture-based control as opposed to 1:1 motion mapping. It's the best of both worlds: the abstraction of buttons alongside the immersion of motion.

The new Wiimotion Plus gives you 1:1, which is what I was looking for in the original Wiimote (weren't most people?).

Abstraction of buttons? I'd prefer buttons instead of simply moving my hand to simulate pressing them.

You are obviously in a small firm. Big litigation practices will regularly have terrabytes of data exchanged in the course of discovery - usually emails and office types of documents that convert well to images (standard is GroupIV tiff). Printing these would fill mountains of storage.

This is a relevant issue to modern IT with respect to enterprise law firms.

More to the point, the simple way to amend the constitution is if the ballot measure is essentially a new issue. This requires 50% of the vote.

As the supreme court in CA tossed out the previous law banning same sex marriage as unconstitutional under the civil rights portions this 'new' issue is rightfully being challenged as an attempt to circumvent the procedure.

Prop 8 should have required 2/3.

Comment Cap is forward looking (Score 1) 656

If you ask me, 250GB today is pretty much fine even though I hate Comcast and am tempted to disagree just to disagree.

I think the end game is to establish a cap now that will be used to leverage 'upgrades' in the future as bandwidth gets eaten up faster and faster. Think about the acceleration of usage, and their need to squeeze more dollars out of the same tubes.
