  3. hybrid drive as good as SSD? on Hybrid Hard Drives Just Need 8GB of NAND · · Score: 1

    Virtually every test performed on hybrid drive so far shows that for all practical purposes it performs about the same as a regular hard drive. Research, my arse ...

  4. what to do with unsold Surfaces on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    Me thinks Apple should purchase all those 6 million Surfaces, for, say 1 cent a piece and have a huge party where every Apple employee can smash at least one Surface with a large iron mallet.. Or more than one, depending on rank. Something like what Vogons did to crabs.

  11. Re:I take it the honorees must be living on Five Internet Founders Share First £1 Million Engineering 'Nobel' Prize · · Score: 1

    Yes, P. Baran is the first person I was thinking of. The whole idea of packet switching (as an opposite to leased lines) became the foundation of both DARPA and X.25 networks (and many others like Frame Relay). If I remember correctly, he wrote the paper as some kind of research project.

  13. Universe-wide network? Is IPv6 sufficient? on NASA Wants New Space Net To Sustain Big Data Dumps; Moon and Mars Trips · · Score: 1

    Clearly not, if the Universe is infinite. So seems like there is no point to migrating to IPv6. Time to start working on IPv8 or whatever.

    Hey, I'm joining the Facebook as Hitler. Great idea, eh? Speaking of killing two birds with one stone ...

  20. math is primarily the ability to think logically. on Political Science Prof Asks: Is Algebra Necessary? · · Score: 1

    IMHO, understanding math is inseparable from the ability to think logically. If you can reason, you can get through math. If you can't, well, may be you can find the carrier in arts or something like that. But the kind of science which does not need math - well, I would be quite suspicious about it, that's what's called a "soft science", and being soft scientist is primarily to bullshit your way toward advanced degrees, writing papers with no content and no meaning. Duh ...
