Ahh, thank you for the correction. I guess that makes this a full height drive?
That does sound a bit familiar now that you mention it actually. My memory of "the dark ages" is getting more fuzzy as time goes on.

From left to right in that image is the MFM drive, a more normal 3.5" IDE drive, a 2.5" drive and a CF card.

I was only half joking about its metal casing. Probably not actually steel but between the HD and my foot stubbing it in the dark, it was my foot that gave way and moved, not the HD ;P

SD cards were still new and pricy so I didn't have one on hand to complete the set.
Now I need an SD and micro SD to add in, and somehow squeeze a Sun RMS platter array into the picture and the new cycle of life will be complete!

I still have a functioning MFM double-height 5.25" (Yes it requires two bays) 10MB hard drive here that, judging purely from scar I still have after stubbing my toe on it a decade ago, I'm pretty sure actually does contain rotating clay tablets inside its steal frame as well as a stocky overweight gnome with an actual iron chisel.
I wonder if our drives share the same encoding scheme...

How it is not statistically factual to say "We need one example to disprove this statement, here is more than the one required example"?

Perhaps you can explain better, as your post still doesn't clear that bit up.

How does traffic generated within verisonz ASN, and exists within the same verizon ASN, even need BGP to function?

Start there at basics, and once you explain how internal traffic that never once touches a peer point still relies on this BGP "magic", then you can go into details about BGP...

No no, it's all a matter of internal accounts you see.

The money used to purchase bandwidth throttling equipment was taken from the subscriber payments account, so you are only due a refund if they failed to slow your connection to a standstill.

The money to upgrade infrastructure was taken from us all by force by convincing the government to tax us each and every year for the past decade and a half, and the government isn't likely to ask for a refund from their overlords, nor would we see it refunded to us even if they did.

The more you know, epic half battles, all of that.

Sweet, I've been needing an upgrade myself as well, but there seems to be a strange shortage of people insisting we speed more than a couple bucks on the problem and will pay for the upgrade. I'm glad I found you!

250 workstations upgraded to top tier is roughly $200000.00 or so. Better make it $250000 so we can get new LCDs too, these 10 year old 19" ones are getting a tiny bit of burn-in.

Just go ahead and paypal it to me, and I'll get right on implementing your suggestion!

Eating does involve a bit more than just taste however, and is a problematic issue I've had to deal with most of my life.

I should admit up front that I have the opposite problem as to the article being discussed.
I've had no sense of smell since age 3-4, and so there is a significant class of foods I simply can't taste at all. The texture of the food determines completely my enjoyment of eating it and even my ability to eat it.

For me a steak tastes about like cardboard, and the less well done it is cooked the worse it feels, which of course directly relates to how healthy it would be as burning the nutrients out can't be a good thing, despite the fact it changes the taste not at all for me to do so.

Green veggies tend to feel like between I'm chewing a corn husk and I'm trying to swallow semi-liquid slop that my body feels should already be going in the other direction. The phrase "choking it down" can be quite literal in such cases for me.

The main difference here I would imagine is that a lot of people dislike eating such healthier foods so instead of spending the (not insignificant) time to find the gems they do like, they fall back to crap food that gives a "full" feeling - while I personally take the equally unhealthy route of just simply not eating often enough thus avoiding the unpleasantness for similar reasons.

It's taken me a good 15 year period to actively try different and new things prepared by many different people other than myself to find those gems, and similar to applying security to IT it is one of those things that is on-going and never ends.
I can completely see why that prospect would be so overwhelming to some, as I was (or potentially still am) in that same camp.

When thinking of your next meal fills you with dread due to all of the horrible aspects of doing it right without a single positive in sight, falling back into comfort mode is terribly easy to do and can take as much constant effort to break out of usually attributed to the weakest willed of addicts trying to stay sober.

The advice "Meh you just suck, it's super simple!" is about as twisted as a slinky and as truthful as a politician.

*cough* Well the bad news is I didn't find any vials of ebola in there *coughwheeze* just these empty vials ready for filling.

The good news *coughhack* can I keep this $0.78 in change? I'm saving up *sneezecolorscolors* for a flu shot - not feeling so well suddenly *sneezecoughsplatter* for some unknown reason...

Are you sure you didn't install them all backwards?

Occam's Razor states that your personal theory that isn't testable is automatically false and invalid. The theory in the article that is testable may be right or wrong but we won't know until testing it.

Since your "faith" that everything you dislike must be wrong is automatically ruled out as an option, could you please stop posting useless tripe? The world would be a better place once people like you get your fingers out of science.

I have to call bullshit.

I still have a Powermac 6100 that had an OS install (aka upgrade) when I first got it, and the thing is still sitting in my spare room and gets booted up once every 4-6 months or so purely for myself and friends to nostalgiabate over the BBS it still hosts.

That OS install is going on 22 or 23 years now.

My latest Powerbook is about 5 or 6 years old now, maybe a couple more. I've performed 2 upgrades to OS X and never a single reinstall.
The thing has out lived Apple selling replacement batteries and outlived two 3rd party batteries, and currently lives at my moms house as a small desktop for email and web browsing using the latest Firefox.

I've never encountered a Windows XP system that lived longer than 2 years, and those were special cases as most get crapped up in under 6 months when the end user has admin rights.

It hasn't been until Windows 7 that anyone not batshit insane would place the word stable next to "Windows Desktop".
I'll grant a batshit insane exception for the handful of people that were using Windows 2000 as desktops back then and knew what they were doing, but I've seen plenty of 2000 crapups needing a reinstall too.
Windows Server 2003 seems decently stable if you treat it like a server and not a desktop, but being honest with yourself you have to admit hardly anyone did that.
Seeing as the desktop pairing to 2003 was XP, and XP failed more often than not and for less reason than "none at all" which is what most peoples experiences are with, it's ingenious at best to compare the Mac OS or OS X experience with anything but desktop OSes.

Personally I would wait a year and a half for 1993 and get a Mac LC, then spring for a PDS card with 386 CPU.
Then you can run crappy Windows 2 or 3 natively to avoid the ignorant stares and comments by co-workers aged -5 to -15(*) who will run to post comments on slashdot, yet also be able to switch over to Mac OS to get real work done.
* No I can't believe kids making such comments today are more than 15 years old right now...

It is pretty hilarious however about all these kids complaining about MS Office. With the setup above MS Office is only available for Mac, for Windows 2 or 3 you would need WordPerfect instead since Microsoft had no office suite to run on their own OS.
Not that I'm bashing WordPerfect at all, but if MS Office is the extent of the argument then your only option for at home would be a Mac.

You mean like you just did?

If you believe dark matter does not exist, then why do we see it? Why do we also see it affecting other things? What in your limited opinion is causing that?

If you are attempting to claim an existing force or particle is causing those effects, then why does that violate the known definitions of all forces and particles known?

Why exactly do you believe a force that has characteristics not matching any existing forces would be anything other than a new force?

If you want to claim this force is an existing one, the burden of proof as to why it doesn't match up to any known force yet somehow is one of those forces is all on your head buddy.

Either explain up, or stop bitching about people who know what they are doing that claim it is a new force.

As Faraday licks the BBQ sauce off his slightly burnt fingertips, answering both questions at the same time.

Slander and lies posted about you aren't the topic at hand however.
You missed the opportunity to argue over those laws a few hundred years ago bub.

Today we are discussing new laws not involving lies or slander, but where it is illegal to post provably factual truths about others.

Statements such as "ShieldW0lf on Slashdot has UID 601553" being declared illegal by making a simple email request are what we are talking about.
