    I almost cut the education part out of it, but my point was exactly as you stated, not everything can be attributed to performance...even in cases where I would say it matters most such as educating the next generation. My "So why can't we hold teachers accountable to their students...

    Activision and EA CEOs Appear on List of "Most Overpaid" in the US

    You are missing that these companies have to compete with other companies for talented CEOs.

    Activision and EA CEOs Appear on List of "Most Overpaid" in the US

    The idea of turning highways and such into shopping centers....did he really spend 6 months hashing things out because that's asinine. Does the internet cease to exist? If we have teleportation...you would have distribution centers that would just beam stuff to your house immediately after you...

    What would cause unused hard drives to die?

    You're most likely correct. I have had talks with Hitachi and Toshiba regarding this due to a client of ours trying to get away from tape for long term archival of their classified data sets that were no longer accessed. Their plan was to just put data on disk and the lock them in a vault...

    Areca 1882ix-8 "Waiting for F/W to become ready"

    I have actually seen pulling the card out of the system., letting it post up without the card installed, and then installing it again cause that to go away (sometimes putting it in a different slot than it was originally)..If you have an option to reset the ESCD info on your board you could try...
