On the one hand, yes but on the other hand, maybe this will be the push needed to get away from the current very crappy and not-especially-well-thought-out certificate chain nonsense. If you actually had to get a certificate fingerprint from your bank in a trusted way rather than simply trust Thawter or Verisign or whoever, it would be a much better system.
PCI Express Mini Card (also known as Mini PCI Express, Mini PCIe, and Mini PCI-E) is a replacement for the Mini PCI form factor based on PCI Express. It is developed by the PCI-SIG. The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity, and each card uses whichever the designer feels most appropriate to the task. Most laptop computers built after 2005 are based on PCI Express and can have several Mini Card slots.
My mistake, I think I was thinking of mini-pci which I think is that the EEEPC uses for its SSD (though I think it's a mangled version without the USB). It's really been a long time since I looked into it.
If you've ever pulled a sim card apart, the chip itself is a tiny thing about 1-2mm on a side behind the contacts. You can feel where it is from the back of the card usually. Not saying he knew for sure but it's a reasonable bet.
Either that or he read about doing it somewhere else.
Part of the problem is due to excessive debt burden. Paying down some of that debt would be a step in the right direction to a healthy and robust economy.
Hyperbole doesn't really have a place in a factual science show. More likely, it was just indicative of insufficient use of scientific and technical advisors, unfortunately also not a good thing in factual science shows.
Now, its to be expected that independent production companies might get up to such shenanigans in order to produce content that will sell at the cheapest possible cost but it's equally up to a channel which purports to be scientifically based to screen these cowboys.
Unfortunately, it's not just the mass media that commits such sins, even New Scientist, a previously trustable source has been having issues with poor article screening and political bias in recent years.
On the other hand, many Linux distributions never actually wiped/tmp. This caught me out the first time I had to reboot a Debian system as I had some downloaded packages in/tmp. Fortunately, they were easily re-downloaded.
Personally, I'd say it makes more sense to have a cron job which deletes files when they get old or when/tmp starts getting full. Temporary may be temporary but who should decide how temporary? If I spend 4 hours downloading a file to/tmp and then a reboot occurs, that's time wasted for no apparently good reason if there was plenty of room in/tmp. Previously I have used/scratch for files which are only supposed to last for a trivial amount of time.
Then again, there are always other options for temporary storing of files that need to survive a reboot. and since this is something I wouldn't want to be hit by again, I'm happy to work with it but I just wanted to point out that it isn't as clear-cut as some would suggest.
Yup. A "portable" in England is (was) typically around 13". Then again, a normal TV size was somewhere below 30" before I left in 2000. That's changed somewhat recently I understand.
Not by the dictionary definition since it doesn't change the path of the light (Ignoring minor diffraction effects). Possibly by photographic convention though.
To be fair though, we did have an issue a few years ago where a Trend update caused every workstation on our network to grind to a halt with 100% CPU usage. Not a fun day for anyone.
Watch that though. While the viewing angle is usually symmetrical from left to right (widescreen), it often (usually?) varies top to bottom. We have rotatable displays in our training room here but if you set them up as "highscreen", they have a good viewing angle to the right but if you move left, they (very) rapidly become unviewable

No one done the whoosh yet? Ah well, guess it's down to me then.
Whoosh.

Nonsense. Even most 100% English websites don't have standard HTML. Perhaps you meant non-standard or sub-standard?
Ah, from wikipedia:

Didn't I read something about SSD including a USB (electrical) interface anyway? Or maybe it was one of the new SATA standards.

You sure they didn't get you on an introductory rate? Watch out in case that 67 jumps to 92 or something in a few months.

Only if your warranty agreement says they can't.
WTF? Seriously? What are you smoking?

But they can't come and swap out your alloy rims for steel either.
I see what you did there. I admire your sense of humour.
Personally, I'm astounded at what Americans consider a "portable" T.V.
Yes indeed. Though the lesson for who exactly depends on your point of view.

Third party? This was *system* files. Yes, I would expect an AV company to be on top of those.

Tip to Alanis, it's also a genuine example of irony.
Ever seen the look on the face of someone who's had their DVD or CD collection stolen?
