I think the flash to store the OS should be a completely separate flash from the user side. You'd still have to install apps on the user SD, but at least this way the OS has its own space.
Ditto. From about 12 years old I had sleep apnea and did not know it. I was not grossly overweight then either.
About nine years ago (?) I was diagnosed with it and got a CPAP machine. Someone else mentioned a dental appliance, there's no way I could wear that.
The first two nights sucked on the machine, the third night I woke up the next morning not feeling tired at all - first time that I could recall in ~14 years.
I've also lost weight (about 50 lbs so far, hoping to lose another 50...) taking it off nice and slow so it stays off.
When the power goes out I wake up and I can't fall back asleep again. So much for camping (I'm not lugging around batteries or a generator!):-(
I'm pretty sure the capacitor plague was from the early 2000s to 2006 or so. The affected equipment we had to replace was from 2008/2009.
The bizarre thing is that the Asus boards had Intel chipsets on them. I don't think that was the cause. I did check the boards visually, and back in 2005 or so we had quite a few ruptured caps.
We made the mistake of using Asus boards in machines at work. I really regret that now, as the Asus boards are horribly unreliable, and some of them were not cheap either.
The older Intel boards are still chugging along just fine. One of those computers is close to 8 years old. Anything we had from Asus died long before that.
I have an Intel mobo (can't recall the model) with my QX9650 and it's definitely overclockable. Gives you a couple warning when you mess with setting manually though. The board was about $140 if I remember correctly. My system is old, but not slow.
There's a benefit to Android - if one manufacturer annoys you, you can go to another one. With Apple and the iPhone, if you get annoyed with the phone (as I did with the iPhone 3G)... you don't have a choice except get a completely different phone, which I wound up doing.
Honestly, I've tried Android and iOS, and I really wouldn't mind trying Windows Phone 8, but I'm not spending $600 to find out it isn't what I want. If a Win8 phone is given to me, I'd use it to try it out. After being burned with WinMo 5.x/6.x, I'm not going to invest that kind of money on a Microsoft phone.
The only phone I haven't tried is Blackberry. I tried one of the earlier models in the store and the UI was so fubar I just steered clear. I might look at a blackberry again when my phone is up for renewal, if RIM is still around.
The only new computer component I always test out-of-the-box is RAM - I've had many bad experiences over the last 10 years with unstability due to bad RAM.
As far as hard drives go, I never test them. I run several RAID arrays in the house, and I actually have had a replacement drive fail in a week (one of Seagate's recertified drives.) I noticed odd behaviour and rebooted the server and the RAID array was degraded. Oops!
I guess in a way I do test them - if the new drive fails shortly after rebuilding the array, it was likely a lemon to start with.
I don't think the hard drive tools really test anything other than the SMART information on the drives anyway. You're at the mercy of the drive failing bad (or hard) enough to actually trip a smart error. I've also had a drive that clicked and made awful noises for a year before it finally died. And no, it didn't ever report a SMART error, it just crapped out randomly.
Even so, for those that actually joined the program, will it report users searching for how to shutdown the computer, and then after a few minutes of useless results yank the power cord?
Did they ever fix the lack of command line for windows 8 servers?
I have Server 2012 running on ESXi, and on day one it came with PowerShell. It never had a lack of a command prompt. If anything, it's a more powerful command prompt by default.
Malware has generally moved to sending mail to one contact appearing like mail from another contact in the same address book. Been seeing this for years. It's very possible veganboyjosh's computer is not infected at all. It could be anyone who has both veganboyjosh and his uncle in their contacts, which could limit it to another family member that isn't even aware they've been infected.
No kidding - I've experienced -52 C (it was closer to -60 C with the wind chill.) That's pretty cold. To think that this is three times colder is unfathomable. But still, -300 F sounds a lot colder than it really is. The only thing I see that still uses the Fahrenheit scale on a daily basis is the stove. Everything else is in Celsius, as it should be.
At my workplace, they cracked down on this two years ago. A new policy was circulated stating sick time is for your use personally, not for when your kids get sick. A lot of people were using their sick time to stay home with the kid.
Yes, but I imagine it's not fun trying to hold a piece of paper that liked to bend all the time to your ear to take a call. Wonder what they've done to address that.
To me it sounds like it's going to be a big annoyance.

Until the laws are changed to annul my responsibility for freeloaders on my wifi, I won't have it open. I'm not about to take any legal risk.
While I like the idea, it's not practical to me.

Well, Apple's manufacturing is mostly in China, so scratch that.
Blackberries were made in Canada and Mexico, unless that's changed. Still made in North America though.
I think it's pretty easy, actually. Almost ingenious. N = normal, L = Lacking (as in no physical keyboard.)
Is that why they have those model designations? Who knows, but it makes sense to me!

Clippy!
Hate to break it to you, but a lot of restaurants freeze stuff. Not saying it's a good thing, but it happens all over the place.

It's only -179 C. Not exactly shorts weather, mind you.
Couldn't you have waited until January to say that? With only 21 days left in the year the statement doesn't have much impact!

Yes, but just imagine the looks of other supercar owners that saw a Yaris pass them at high speed. That would be priceless!
I read it as lead. I thought that came from China, not Korea... ;-)

Looks like slashdot got hoodwinked!
There's nothing like the convenience of having basic tools on your belt. Never underestimate that.
Bigger jobs would need proper tools, but in an emergency the leatherman has proved it's usefulness many times over in the >10 years I've had mine.
After making trips to get tools twice (in the same building) I got the leatherman as it had the tools I'd need 99% of the time for quick fixes.
