bullshit claim is bullshit

yep, couldn't agree more on this one.

but it's not only the big guys who claim this too, it's bricks and motar stores as well.

wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these big companies had shares or owned logistic chains etc /cynical.

which is why i will alway take a gamble with ebay first on almost all software. and it is a gamble but there are things you do to migtigate it. i've gotten product at much fairer prices from folk who have purchased the wrong poduct or sellers that have a much more competitve price point than legitimate vendors and resellers.

and let's not forget how expensive downloads are too...

i, wonder why piracy exists at all ...

way to the crash the website guys... yesh.

ddos...

Hopefully this pays off, i didnt realsie zfs had limitation on pure solid state storage. would be good to see zfs pushed along, not that it isn't at the moment.

Been using zfs for some time now and looking to move to zfs on linux however getting doco as always is a little tough, looked at illumunos alternatives OI but hardware support is a concern.

shame we lost open solaris.

beer fo ZFS, cracker filesystem/VM

and so it goes on.

do as i say, not as i do.

collect entropy. would you have perpetual energy?

okay the second law of thermodynamics is about disorder to a physical system, i'm not much of a physicist so im a little curious.

in other news my Q6600 8gig ram rig runs BF3 just fine.

free internet

i always though the future of the internet was free, or a variant of it, ad paid etc...

i still kinda think that too.

beer for friday!

kinda of explains...

...why all the competent and accomplised kiwi i.t pros iv'e met all work in aus. i guess a brain drain will do that to your skill base. im not sure which way i feel about Mr. Ng's actions morally, however i'm all about naming and shaming idiots who insist on poor i.t practice and get paid in six figures. i assume that's the pay grade for manager in a ministry department.

i'd be more concerned about what gouged it out rather than who it belonged to.
