One supposes the GOP would call this representative an America-hating liberal because he doesn't toe the party line, so the rep's switched parties so he has a political future.
That's what those people said about McCain in '08, after all.
Except you couldn't find a black person who was in favor of racial segregation. Since this is a so-called "moral" issue, you can, however, find black folks who are in favor of anti-gay legislation.
Mod parent overrated. TRIM is to help keep the drive running at a good pace once it's been written to over a period.
The problem with SSDs is that they can read/write only a page at a time; they do not address individual bits or sectors. Over time, this means that a given page (I forget the size, maybe 64KB) will have parts of multiple files in it. Therefore, writing to one of the files in that page means that the drive has to re-write each file, and if one of the affected files is spread across several pages, then those pages have to get re-written, and so on. Write performance, and to a lesser extent read performance, goes into the toilet.
Enter TRIM, which keeps files to a minimum number of pages and is typically run in the background as a garbage-collection measure.
See, it's hyperbolic unsupported claims like these that make me skip over a lot of Slashdot stories anymore. A story could actually be interesting, but I see that kind of crap and go straight to the next posting... which all too often has the same sort of verbiage. Rather like the established media, really.
It's really sad - I used to read most Slashdot articles.
Piker. I support some scientists (among other users) and they've got some Seriously Old Kit. Some of their instruments require Windows 9x, some have ISA controller cards (PCI for their very newest stuff), and there's one OS/2 3.0 machine that runs three instruments. Don't complain to/me/ about your PCI stuff needing to be replaced.
When it costs $3k to upgrade to newer software that supports WinXP (plus a newer computer that's probably a retired desktop to run it), and well into double digits to replace the instrument, they just want their stuff to keep working.
We've went in and grabbed at least one head of state, Manuel Noriega. There's realistically no way that a "high profile" is going to protect him if he's dumb enough to come visit the US, or make a layover at one of our airports.

Indeed? What misinformation has Jon Stewart spread?
Also: he's explicitly a comedian & has said that he is not news.
You fail it.
...who have a much lower viewership than Fox, etc.
Try harder.
Well, yes. The GOP are better at it, though, because they understand organization.
I didn't realize Herbicide was or was used to make consumer goods.
Another Chinese secret ingredient, I'm afraid.
Don't assume that. I just put in my home IP address and it resolved a couple states away.

In the sense that John McCain is a liberal and Obama an ultra-liberal, yes.
There *are* people who think that.
One can never satisfy a conspiracy theorist.
That must be why Windows is still ~90% of the market, with a similar share for Office.
Which kind are you?

More to the point, the Justice Dept pulled the experienced lawyers off the case once the Bush Administration took over in 2001.
One suspects it was for ideological reasons, Republicans being known for favoring big business.
Feanor slew his kin.
Nice obscure reference.
What happened to that plane in your sig's picture?
My parents invested in a 419 plan and all I got was this lousy T-shirt!
Follow the money. Anybody in power in France have a financial interest in not allowing this mode of communication?
Did you play the version Apple distributed with their computers? I loved that game back when, and it was actually educational.
kdawson trolled us? InconCEIVEable!
How would you know that unless you were a COMMUNIST SPY?!?!?
The computer is my friend!!!

Could you point me to where to find C2D boards with ISA slots? I know some scientists who would be very interested.

Opera is a poor imitation of lynx.

OTOH the legal fees could have reached the new lower fine anyway, which may be why they thought it wasn't worth it.
