sounds much easier and more convenient than pressing a button on a cell phone jammer to make their call drop!

This is often the underlying problem. The user thinks something should be cheap and quick - which at face value it is - but they don't want to listen to the underlying reasons why. This is why a pricing model works best. Calculate an overall price for different tiers of storage, and its a business call if they want to spend $x for another 2TB of storage, or spend the time to delete files.

Ahh typical know it all user. Nevermind the fact the disk has to be raided, purchased from a storage vendor so it is under maintenance, same amount of disk space purchased for the DR site, and also cater for extra space on backup tapes. But hey, its just IT being an ass, not you...

my o2 xdaII mini from 2004 might disagree with that

Agree, the D600s are an awesome machine. They look a bit plasticy on the outside, but the screen back and internal frame is solid magnesium. They also have some nice touches, like an internal rechargeable battery that lets you sleep the machine, swap the main battery, then resume from sleep and keep on working. Great if you don't have access to AC power, you can swap out the main battery in about 10 seconds and keep on working. They also overclock well (1.6ghz to 2.13ghz) if you are able to solder on a tiny surface mount resistor, the speed jump makes them quite snappy.

I'm not sure how the nexus one is "showing its age", its specs are on par with the iphone.

Unfortunately workers are often "forced to" stay at work as the employers withhold salaries to ensure the workers stick around. The workers poor education and government corruption mean there is not much the workers can do about it. There was a very well done documentary about a young girl working in a jeans factory in China which showed the terrible working and living conditions, I wish I could recall the name of it.

I was thinking the same thing, however a poster above indicates you can press the brake and accelerator together for up to 1.5 seconds. If it takes you longer than that to heal & toe, you probably shouldn't be doing it ;) "3) Updated the firmware. After the update, I did a test where I got the car going 30Mph, and then pressed and held the accelerator. While the accelerator was depressed, I applied the brake with my left foot. After about 1.5 seconds, the engine RPM went down to idle speed. I repeated this test 2 more times. Same result each time."
