  1. Re:osx? on WD Explains Its Windows-Only Software-Based SSHD Tech · · Score: 2

    Honestly i never looked too deep into it. I saw Fusion, saw what it did on the surface, on Intel hardware and assumed it was SRT. Thats what i get for assuming. thanks.

    Fusion Drive is just Intel S.R.T with an apple brand on it.

    Did you somehow skip this part? "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.[1]"

    Considering all email as searchable is certainly an unreasonable overstepping of authority.

    Running from a murder charge from a South American country doesnt really deserve bold lettering. If the charges held any water at all they would be moving for extradition.

    Its amazing that Microsoft didnt figure out that Workstations are going to remain Workstations and to not fuck it up with a tablet paradigm. The thing that pisses me off is that it is blatantly obvious that they didnt care how bad the UI was, they wanted to trojan horse Metro so bad so they get that juicy 30% cut of everything.

    Seriously? I dont have deep 'scene' information to get a proper hash and check against it. How do i know the hash is legitimate?

    The problem is not the high profile groups, but people who repack. I for one, have no way of ensuring i get a release from a proper group. Just because someone slaps a scene name on something doesnt mean its safe or trustworthy.

    We are there NOW. Facial recognition and mass storage are happening NOW, even in businesses like bars. Going on about how the limits of storage tech is what separates this is incredibly naive. I have an 8 camera surveillance system i picked up for under $400. I can compress that video down even further on my regular 3 year old PC overnight easily. I have over 2000 hours of movies on a NAS server the size of a toaster i paid $300 for. It uses 17w and has a real-world throughput of 50 MB/s.

    Im working on a cheap license plate scanner system for our condo complex. Log all plates in and out of two entrances for under $1000 on a 200 unit condo complex. My CAR alone has 2 cameras. a dashcam and a 24/7 surveillance cam. If im doing it, almost certainly others are too. We are absolutely living in an age where you should assume you are being recorded at all times while in public.

    If you come over for a barbecue and act like a druken ass in front of my home surveillance on my deck outside and i post it to the web, what then?
