"Write endurance: >140 years @ 50GB write/day at 32GB SSD"
Basically the device will fail before it reaches the it runs out of write cycles. You can overwrite the entire device twice a day and it will last longer than your lifetime. Of course it will fail due to other issues before then anyway.
Can there be a mention of SSDs without this out-dated garbage being brought up?
No, the reason why is that criminal trespass fines would go to the government, whereas civil damages would go to the plaintiffs. They didn't want to set a precedent or punish google or discourage google from going it again. They wanted some cash.
But seriously taking a still picture from a public place without even using a telephoto lens seems a bit of a stretch to label "intruder".
My vacation snap shots have numerous people I don't know in them, and numerous houses in the background too. The photos of my kid playing in the yard has the neighbors house in it too. Are you seriously suggesting I should thus not let anyone see them?
Because it's easy to get a new phone number that the abusive ex doesn't know. However, if there are children involved they likely have to call the ex in order to arrange visitation - often a judge will have ordered this phone contact so not doing so will have consequences. And yes there have been cases of caller ID being used to find and hurt/kill ex-partners.
Of course in these days of cheap pay-as-you-go cell phone services. it doesn't seem too hard to get such a phone (or even just a pay-as-you-go simcard from the same provider your phone is locked to) to use for only those calls.
Even in the current "mortgage fraud isn't a crime" and "CEOs looting their companies isn't a crime" environment, bribing a judge is still going to be treated as seriously. You can't ignore corruption that is that blatant.
2. will happen no matter what, since every single such juvenile just got grounds for appeal, and it'll be great case history material so someone will represent either for a cut of any settlement or pro-bono for the civil liberties defender types. The state might try and recover costs, but it won't be by sending a bill it'd be plain old suing.
It sounds like a "we can prove they got paid, proving it was a bribe is harder, so charge them with tax related offenses on that income" case. Which depending on what the plea bargaining gave them might leave open bribery related charges later - those are always going to be hard to prove though.
I would expect prosecutors to go after them for everything they possiblt can. Corrupt judges destroy all faith in the legal system, it's the worst case scenario for the legal system and so the all sides will want to clean house.
Surely given a trade of between detecting others and not being detected you'd take the not being detected option - and hence the systems on the sub would favour the stealthiness choices.
And if you want the get out of dodge option, pair your SSBNs with a hunter sub loaded out with the detection stuff, they can head in opposite directions (OK not exactly opposite since that's obvious exploitable) when it sees something and since it will probably be easier to detect hopefully it attracts the attention.
Of course how the hell they'll find each other again, and avoid hitting each other in the first place might be problematic.
The fact that these subs are an integral part of nuclear delivery implies they aren't easy to detect, and hence hiding is currently easier than finding, in which case a collision between two of them isn't unexpected - well other than the fact that the ocean is big (even restricted to the areas suited to hiding in) and there aren't that many of them...
Surely, since you have to bring the soil and so on anyway it would be better to turn the suburbs into farms and build high rise buildings for the people to live in - since we know how to both those things and have thousands or years/decades of experience with them.
Of course by the time you've convinced all those people to relocate from their houses to apartments you probably have far fewer mouths to feed anyway and the need is gone.
Every nokia phone I've had has had a different charger connector that didn't work with the other nokia phones. Every non-nokia phone I've had (OK, with the exception of one sony/erikson one) has used a mini-usb connector for both data and charging.
They are nuclear missile subs, their entire reason for existence is that they enemy can't find them.
They are not "hunter killer" subs that are designed to find and kill other subs and surface ships.
Hence detection capabilities are completely irrelevant to that class of submarine - their mission is to sit undetected somewhere so that enemies know they can be nuked even if they took out the home country completely. I guess that means their missions from a purely military point of view is to sit their undetected and rain nuclear missiles down on someplace when some condition is met (though deterrence is the real goal).
Clearly you don't put your latest and greatest "DETECTION capabilities" on such subs, they aren't supposed to find other subs anyway.
And I don't think anyone uses nuclear torpedoes, the US had ASTORs but they were replaced by conventional warhead torpedoes a long time ago (and who really wants to be in the sub that fires a wire-guided nuclear torpedo, "kill probability of 2.0" wasn't all joke).
As long as they make more new stuff than the amount that decomposes - which seems likely given human history.
But you always throw in as many maybes as possible, doesn't matter if they contradict each other, more chance of one of them being interesting to someone with money.
Because no one could mistake a sonic boom from a piece of space job speeding through the atmosphere for an earthquake.
We are talking about people who call the national weather service to report such a thing, rather than say the USGS. That they would interpret something they have never experienced before incorrectly doesn't seem strange, to me at least.
I'd suggest asking a damn lawyer, and maybe looking for a job with company that won't be either being sued out of business or having their code redistributed by someone else who did consult a lawyer next week.
If the researchers had any intelligence they don't tell the subjects "we are doing on a study on violence in games", they have them play the game and then survey them about how much they enjoyed it, how immersive was it, etc, etc.
And no I'm not spending $20 to actually read the paper and find out.
Which part of "nor did it operate any BitTorrent trackers" do you not comprehend in (from your wikipedia link):
"Suprnova did not host any of the shared files, nor did it operate any BitTorrent trackers for long. It offered the ".torrent" meta files which would tell a BitTorrent client where it could find the BitTorrent tracker."
If the assign all their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote and only do so when enough other states are doing the same thing to hold a enough electoral college votes between them to determine the winner (if they all vote the same way), then how is that not *exactly* the same as the winner of the popular vote being the winner?
Seems to me they have just about the best possible solution, if you think the electoral college is a bad thing. It means they aren't sacrificing some of their voting power until they get the thing they want in return. Assigning their electoral college votes according to the national popular vote would just remove Iowa from the election completely - since they would then have 1 electoral vote and hence not matter at all.
Of course for Iowa this is giving a little under 2 of their electoral college votes away anyway, but that's their choice...

It will outlast a standard hard drive by orders of magnitude so it's completely not an issue.
With wear leveling and the technology now supporting millions of writes it just doesn't matter. Here's a random data sheet: http://mtron.net/Upload_Data/Spec/ASIC/MOBI/PATA/MSD-PATA3035_rev0.3.pdf

By not actually fixing the problem.
By creating a bigger security problem.
This is Adobe, I doubt anyone would be surprised if they made it worse.
Well, other than the gact that is wasn't one of their people.
No way!
You can release an update to alpha code faster than you can release an update to production code, who would have thought?
It's almost as if there's less QA to do or something.
No, the reason why is that criminal trespass fines would go to the government, whereas civil damages would go to the plaintiffs. They didn't want to set a precedent or punish google or discourage google from going it again. They wanted some cash.
Which is exactly what they did, you just need to ask as I'm sure the whitehouse/pentagon/navy/ did.

Because proving things is less than simple.
People get assaulted by other people that the courts declared to not be abusing them last week all the time.
Your optimistic on a recovery...
Because an inflationary depression will be so much more fun!

It's not taking it out of your pocket. It's taking it out of your kids pockets, since it's all borrowed.

Try reading for comprehension.
The common fate today is burning, they want to do something else with it, so it won't just be burnt.
If the researchers had any intelligence they don't tell the subjects "we are doing on a study on violence in games", they have them play the game and then survey them about how much they enjoyed it, how immersive was it, etc, etc.

Since there's no reason for either group to know what the other group was doing I can't see how that would matter.
