The hundred non-slashdotters generally rely on their geek friends to give computer advice, such as "should I upgrade".
It would be a big mistake to underetstimate how damaging this will be to Kingston's SSD department; Id place money on them halting the practice within the next few months.
They have been good to me in the past and its disappointing to hear that they're doing this-- it sounds like they are admitting as much. I remember ~3-4 years ago I managed to snap the SATA connector on a kingston SSD and they replaced it no questions asked.
Hopefully these companies figure out exactly how heavily theyre trading on their reputation just to save a few dollars. I cant think of how this could possibly end up being worth it for them.
Thats not really how it works. The wear is leveled across cells, so increasing the number of drives in a RAID0 really does increase the amount of data till a predictable failure (ie, the "write limit").
Fun fact: Deer park water coolers with a "hot" spigot put out ~175-180 degree water-- which happens to be the optimal Aeropress temperature.
And honestly if you're using an aeropress with proper temp water, whole beans etc are all not that important-- your coffee is already better than 80% of the stuff commonly drunk (drip, keurig). I have done fresh ground Jamaican Blue Mountain (from Trader Joes), and compared to pre-ground Kirkland columbian (3lb tub) and while JBM is definitely "better" its not really that big a difference.
An aeropress doesnt rely on gravity, it relies on manually created air pressure. Attach a funnel / baggie to the service end of the aeropress, brew as normal, drink from your baggie.
Starvation rates are so low in the US you wont actually find an independently tracked stat for it. Im not sure anyone who starves in the US could be helped with any degree of government intervention.
People usually dont appreciate advertising on slashdot. Im sure you have great goals for this thing, but this isnt the place for spam. Go to kickstarter, indiegogo, or another crowdfunding site if you're looking for donations.
You can get a decent cup of coffee from an Aeropress, and the upside is it takes up neither a lot of space nor a lot of mass. I think all told the whole thing is ~200g; it also makes some pretty good coffee.
I think trolling transcends political party. Trying to figure out whose "team" the troll is on just plays his game. Ignore trolls and dont assume they represent anyone's views or arguments.
Why dont you find me a poll that shows that being the case.
The one poll I could find from 2006 that broke the results down by party was from a site that was obviously biased (democrats.org or something)-- and even that poll showed republicans being far more against warrantless wiretapping than for it.
How about people stop speculating on how they think republicans think when it flies in the face of polls? Find some facts to back your sentiment up, or keep it to yourself.

It doesnt matter what they call it if people stop buying their crap.

Its all irrelevant, because theres no SSD out there that could handle that write rate, and theres no way hes generating that much data 24/7.
Hes full of crap and doesnt want to admit it.
You're editing 4k video 24/7? Thats quite impressive, but not terribly believable.
Tape actually has pretty high transfer rates. Its seek times are what sucks, but if you're doing a dump of tape you arent doing any seeking at all.
As I said: not something that can be "fixed" by a "program".
That includes people, too.
What does Monsanto have to do with this article?

Oh they promised! Well, color me convinced.

Coffee black, or go home.
Except.... NASA is allowing it, so Im not really clear what yalls point is.
"Friend had problems" is code for "friend was hacking and is bitter that he got caught".
Good riddance to toxic players.

I think volatility also plays a role.
Certainly I wouldnt hold on to bitcoin longer than I had to, maybe some people are comfortable with that level of risk but I certainly am not.
In my zeal to close the mouths of the ignorant who were claiming that republicans were pro-governmental surveillance, I misread your post; apologies.

Crashplan distributes an executable binary which installs all of its logs, preferences, etc to /usr/local. Believe me, I've used it for years.
Crashplan is one I can think of off the top of my head.
