  1. Huh? on Analyzing Long-Term SSD Failure Rates · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I didn't read TFA but the chart doesn't tell me that "SSDs aren't more reliable than hard drives".. the SSDs were generally 6% or under (assuming the linear progression) whereas regular HDD approached 14%+ after five years. And "Long-term" in the title? The SSD data in the chart only goes for 1 year. Not exactly long term when the chart goes from 1-5 years of use. The actual data for the SSDs is only 20% of the time span.

  2. The price is too high.. on Build Your Own 135TB RAID6 Storage Pod For $7,384 · · Score: 1

    You can buy 68 internal drives (2TB each) for the low price of $5439.32 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245 I'm not a hardware expert, but I imagine you could connect them somehow for less than $1944.68.. ($7384 - $5439.32)

  3. Re:Planet on NASA's Hubble Discovers Another Moon Around Pluto · · Score: 1, Redundant

    lol technicalities! :)

  4. Re:Planet on NASA's Hubble Discovers Another Moon Around Pluto · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a fourth moon orbiting the icy rock Pluto.

    There.. FTFY ;o)

  5. survived? on iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket · · Score: 2

    Even though it may still make calls, as claimed in the article, I wouldn't go so far as to say it "survived..." Nobody would continue to use a phone in this condition..

  6. Re:best buy on Chain World — Innovative Game Design Sparks Debate · · Score: 2

    it doesn't give a year, so maybe this was 5 years ago and he got a good deal?

  7. Re:Accessibility? on Fighting Ad Blockers With Captcha Ads · · Score: 1

    They will need an audio only button that reads the entire advert to them, including the captcha. However, since the captcha is layered on top of the video, it will also be a second layer of audio on top of the advert's audio, leading vision-impaired visitors just as pissed as the rest of us.

  8. Re:What a godawful headline... on The Galaxy May Have Billions of Habitable Planets · · Score: 1

    Or in the Universe there may be an uncountable number of habitable planents..

  9. !Generalizing at all on Most Americans Support an Internet Kill Switch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IMHO,
    61% << "Most"...

    61% ~= "Not quite two-thirds"

  10. Re:Saltines lasagna on Cooking For Geeks · · Score: 1

    Gross.

  11. I have an idea... on X Prize To Offer Millions For Gulf Oil Cleanup Solution · · Score: 1

    Instead of offering prize money, how about the person with the 'great idea' is given prestige and recognition, while the $1,000,000 is given to help the communities directly affected by this mess...

  12. What is the usual /. tag.... on RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion · · Score: 1

    goodluckwiththat ?

  13. The Lost McCracken on Harry McCracken Rounds Up the Year In Tech · · Score: 1

    "Didn't I tell you to call me Ernie, or Big Ern?"

  14. Re:Correlation != Causality on Need a Favor? Talk To My Right Ear · · Score: 1

    My question is, how many of the people that offered the cigarette were drunk? And how many were relatively unattractive people being questioned by a beatiful woman or hunky man? Taking it one step further, I wouldn't be afraid to bet that if I hired some female models to ask men for a favor from their left ear, and some gangly she-males to ask the same men from their right ear, I would find some results that conflict with this study. Nice try though! Oh yea, and I am a fellow right-hander, and I naturally hold the phone to my left ear...
