This is the last big battle to control the ones and zeros that enter your house.
In the very near future there will be one pipe that pump all the bits into and out of your house, be it video, phone, audio, internet or just your house alarm.
And I bet the conduit will not be a couple of copper wires. Telephone, you are so 19th century....
For many application, like the windows swap file, that read and write small random block, flash disks offer huge performance improvment, because their seek times are much better then regular hard drives.
The sustained write speed does not really matter for the small block operations.
This is a classical case of a Woot Effect. The reason people by stuff on woot.com is that they are afraid that others will buy all of it and they will face the dreaded 'out of stock' message.
I had a very similar experience. I finally managed to find all three volumes in a small bookstore in Latvia where we were spending our honeymoon. I spend the rest of the honeymoon reading volume 1.
This was in 1985 and I am still married to the same person.
As a person, who is a foreigner in USA and is frequently mistaken for an Arab I totally agree with you. Except the "unnecessary" part.
I find it very natural that people looking like you and me are scrutinized more at the airports. I just accept it as a reasonable percussion for other and for me and my family too and it does not bother me at all.
In late 80s one of my friends
brought a brand new computer from USA and asked me to help him to set it up. I switched the power supply to 220 Volts and plugged it in. There was a loud bang and
small cloud of black smoke came out of the case.
The power supply, while worked fine on 120V, had pretty much shorted the 220V to the motherboard. There was a quarter sized hole on the
motherboard, with black charred remains of a chip sprinkled around.
Amazingly, the computer came with a circuit diagram, so we figured out that
the charred chip was actually a simple 4xNAND or something like that. After we
found a replacement chip, just soldered its legs with wires to the closest
intact parts of the motherboard, replaced the power supply. And it actually
worked. The chip was hanging over the hole supported by the wires, like a little
spider. I wish I took a picture.
I once helped to troubleshoot a computer in the local INS office. The same guy, who gave me a hard time about my expired passport six months ago, was so happy that he extended my permit for an additional year.
Armenian 5th century historian Ghazar P'arbec'i in his book named "History of the Armenians" mentions the Ayrarat (old Armenian spelling) province, that has been and still is one of the key Armenian provinces (except the mountain itself that ended up in Turkey after World War I).
I am sure there are many earlier references.
I do not claim they will find the Ark. I lived in Yerevan for 30 years and I could see Mt. Ararat towering above the city from my living room window. Never noticed the Ark, though.
I think the same applies to the pilots. It always bothers me when the radars track their airplane's position real time. There should be a way for them to "opt-out". A "stealth mode" button will be nice. Pilots do not need the big-brother constantly watching them.

And I cannot buy a brand new Ford Model T. I do not need the stuff they put on modern cars.

I think he means that there is a side of the moon that is always away form earth, and probably has less radio and light polution.
I hope it does not have a speaker in it that announces "You've got mail".

While my Russian is a bit rusty, I do not think there is a letter that looks like 'i' in the Cyrillic alphabet.
I thought spyware is a program that you install thinking it does something usefull, while it spies on you.

Do you really think that Creationism was invented by George W.?
And gravity is a theory too.

Ouch!
Phew! I read "climax control software" first.

It is the tempoary stack overrflow in the 32 bit to 16 bit thunking code.
I will take UI bugs for $500 next, please.
We used to put PSECTs with RD,NOWRT,EXE,SHR and CSECTS in PDP-11 assembly programms even before that.
I am not 100% sure if it did anything, or not, though.
I was also planning to switch to Pascal, but I read somewhere that Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal

Needless to say the owner was very happy.
I have to disappoint you, Britannica is indeed right and has nothing to correct.
The quoted page is pretty much Anti-Armenian propaganda and has nothing to do with history. Nice try spreding disinformation, though.

And moderators need at least a little sense of humor.
O, well...

Have you ever tried to roll a rectangular manhole cover?
