Thank you for the short cut - works perfectly on BB 8820.

No. They have some really cute sales "ass"ociates near the movies isle.

So? I got a i7 a year back from Dell for 500$; but you get what you pay for. That Dell was powered by a 300w PS - enough to blow out after a 6hr prime burn in. Made more money selling the spares on fleabay then returning :)

Not if you plan and time it correctly. During the recent Christmas holiday I planned to buy a decent LCD TV - found a good one at good price at BB; went to Kroger got a bunch of gift cards ~ equal to the value of the TV and got 10% return on the purchase I made at kroger (See http://supermarketnews.com/news/kroger_gift_1123/) And 3% cash back from my credit card.

I attest to this experience; recently I helped reinstalled windows xp home on an old smoker lady's desktop and the nicotine/tar smell lingered in my home for more than a week after I had the machine running for less than 3 hours.

Hushmail? Think again

Thats why you have logical redundancies. I work for a fortune 10 company and this is a standard practice for all mission critical applications. The application has be to geographically redundant with install base at least at 3 data centers (ATL,SEA and DLS). Different SAN technology at each DC. All Oracle databases have 2 physical dataguard configuration with 4 hours and 8 hours latency (to guard against user errors) and all J2EE apps hard configured to switch connections from one db to the other almost on the fly or with a reboot. Some really really critical databases have all this and transaction duplication via Goldengate to remote databases to off load reporting queries. We have had issues where SAs screwed up allocating LUNs and ended up f*cking up the file systems but we recovered in every scenario even a 30 TB DB restore over 2 days.

Its amazing a consumer serving company like T-Mobile risked itself by hosting their application on Microsoft platform;. Furthermore where is the DR in all this? Who the F*ck in the right mind fiddle something on SAN without confirming a full backup of all applications/databases? It appears that Hitachi and Microsoft are at fault here (if SAN maintenance is the root cause of this failure) but T-Mobile is the fool allowing these companies to ruin their data. Not only there won't be any consequences because of this issue to MS or Hitachi - T-Mobile will be pouring in more money to fly in the MS and Hitachi consultants.

Why not just fly out and build a colony on Uranus?

You need to upgrade your wife to wife 2.0 or something.

Jon - Quit browsing slashdot from the loo, wipe your a$$ and get back to the show; we have more cnbc a$$whipping to do!!

Your burger flipping skills are of no use; Indians generally are vegetarians and those who eat meat prefer chicken and/or lamb. Off course you could learn to cook chat items and open your own dhela on chowpati.

Why not make use of the Athlon/Sempron machine lying idle in your basement (or your existing machine) by installing http://www.gnump3d.org/? I am a using it since its 1.X version and its amazing.
