yes, of course.
but its painfully obvious what he and people-like-him want/'need'. and that is 'absolute control over every living soul', so they make:
TPM
DRM
Cloud
XBOX Scarlett
Software-as-a-service
and other similar crap.
that's because sci-fi writers 'predict' stuff that they (and most of other people) would like to become real.
so scientists and inventors work on them. and with enough time and money you get something that resembles the prediction.
the writers never give you enough details, so its not a true prediction after all.
it is obvious they are referring to one kind of SSD failure that is predictable.
a lightning strike for eg. is quite unpredictable, and it might cause SSD/HDD failure.
well whats stopping you from sending 'email' using point-to-point connection? iirc, good old modems could connect at 33k. then there are leased lines.
if both ends use the same ISP, maybe sending it with cable or adsl modem is as much secure.
I have an even better idea. Why stop train at all? Passengers could be sling-shot with some mechanism in moving train, one by one; through open roof or something.
then why not define logical block size to be as large as NAND page? or defragment the thing.
if that NAND page is rather large, OS makers should refrain from using multitude of small files.
and you sound like a troll..
its not a good idea to write several Gb to a flash storage on every shutdown just to have slightly faster boot.
perhaps boot wouldn't be faster at all, given that it doesn't matter much to SSD whether its sequential or random read.

I agree, "The End of Eternity" is his masterpiece. In my opinion its the best book ever written.

yeah but he/she wouldn't be sure of result..
..so little time.. to allow all the sites you wanna see in noscript.
yeah, right. so does Lynx.
notebook computers were always cool.
IANAP (I am not a psychiatrist), but it seems to me you worry too much about it.
destiny is, by definition, something you cannot change.
btw, my favorite book is Asimovs "The End of Eternity". its simply awesome.
I think biggest curse would be knowing (exactly) ones destiny, if such thing exists.

I think the biggest issue here is that its much harder to read from eink (let alone LCD) than from paper. That's probably bad for eyes in long run.
yeah, right. remember the autorun fiasco?
the 'creative' solution from 'good guys' was to shut it off.. what a waste of time
don't worry, sooner or later someone will make Linux variant that runs in BIOS :)
if only Martians would join as first Non-Earth member, perhaps scientist would finally discover that Higgs thingy.

.. 'or' it could be thermal recalibration: http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/pc_hardware_faq/3_14_What_is_Thermal_Recalibration.html
hard drives do get hotter with a lot of writing/reading. iirc, I noticed a difference of at least 5deg C.

"Do you know where you can buy ink for an Amiga brand fax machine?" Krusty
perhaps its somehow 'dumping' the waste heat to soil beneath the tank.

with notable difference that repositories are for free.
and how is it supposed to display that dialog if hardware is broken? complex monitoring system would make it too expensive.
