NCQ gives the SSD something to do while the host is figuring out what to write or read next. Normally it's used to allow the host to fire and forget 32 commands. In this case, you queue up a bunch of stuff, then figure out what to queue next.
SSDs are so much faster that the host is generally not keeping up with it.

Cryptonomicon is the book that falls apart the least near the end, IMHO. It might be because the ending is abrupt.:)
This one started to unravel a bit in the last few chapters, but held itself together overall.

Yeah, I agree with this review. Neal Stephenson's endings tend to be either abrupt (cryptonomicon) or all-over-the-place crazy (snow crash/diamond age). This one had a bit of wrap-up at the end which was nice.
The made-up words seem tougher at the beginning than anywhere else. I'm not sure if he just stopped using them or if the reader learns them over time.
Overall I'd say it was one of his better works. This comes from someone who preferred Cryptonomicon over Snow Crash.
I don't think notifying providers of illegal activity that they then act on is considered vigilantism. If the spammers don't like it, they should sue.

He managed to keep the preaching out of the homecoming series, which had an openly-gay character. The character (Zdorab) had some bizarre views that were obviously influenced by Card's worldview, but it didn't take away from the book.
The homecoming series dealt (though not as the primary focus) with some of the morality of "forcing" monogamous relationships on a small tribe of humans disconnected from society.
I think he's an annoying editorial writer with back-asswards views, but this atheist can still enjoy his works.
If you read any of the stories about Geolocation, it isn't installed by default.
The only thing installed by default is the infrastructure so you can plug in any provider of location, including installing an extension that fakes out location data (or lets you provide it on-demand).
Without additional installs, it's just a bunch of interfaces with nothing hooked up.
I'll bet it's just putting router screens in transparent iframes so that users are clicking some sort of "disable internet" button based on their previous vulnerabilities.
Protip: buy a router that uses HTTP password auth instead of a fancy login screen.

Now all we need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

I had no idea. I thought they were enjoyable fluff sci-fi books, though not incredibly deep.
As an ex-RC-atheist, I don't know much about the kooky mormon stories.
If someone rewrote the bible with spaceships and lasers, I'd read it.

Don't be so insecure...
Is it just me, or have you been making that low-budget filipino horror movie for a few years now?
I think you mean: "Reality has a liberal bias".
It's 20,000 hours. Short, but that's 250 8-hour days of continuous use.
Mostly likely it's a 50-70% lumen lifetime too, so it's still somewhat useful beyond that.
We won't see v1.0 until Microsoft releases Azure v2.0, though.
Because you aren't undecided and anyone with more than a single braincell to rub together knows who the better candidate is.
Just be careful with the order of command-line args. You wouldn't want it to paint your girlfriend (or maybe you do?).

Does this mean that Isabelle needs a formal proof to prove it works?

The solution is obvious: we need to work hard to increase the number of students above average!
