Those lots of people should point out that the cell phone the girl used put out far more radiation at the ranges it is (in the pocket, hands, or against the head) than any wifi router.
Naa, sugar pills taste good, they should be given chalk (calcium carbonate) pills. Also, they must cost about $50/month, or will be discounted as not being potent enough.
But if we remove Fox "News", should we also remove all the left wing propaganda "News" organizations at the same time? I guess than we are left with BBC?
China controls this huge firewall on every connection to the greater internet. Anyone hacking from China by default has the blessings of the government, or the firewalls and people doing the monitoring would have put a stop to it.
Because he thinks the data in SSDs magically disappears? Or because he thinks SSDs spin? Both errors indicate a complete lack of knowledge of the subject.
SSDs when they fail can be recovered in a clean room, HOWEVER, if the controller chip loses everything, if the SSD uses encryption, it is toast. Just as with a hard disk head crash, all the data is gone (from under the head at least).
Everything you said is true for hard drives as much as SSDs. When hard drives fail, it can be catastrophic (as can SSDs). Most times when they fail, both will have all the data still there, but some times it isn't accessible anymore. SSDs have raw reliability figured in the range of 10x as good as HD, but people have this feeling that SSDs are unreliable. There have been bad HD models, just as there have been bad SSD models.
Or a poor wear leveling algorithm, crappy controller chip...stuff like that.
Agreed fully on reliability of SSDs, I still have a fully functional 32GB Intel SSD with SLC chips that is still going after 6 years. I bought it for like $350, but yeah, it still runs and runs and runs. Unfortunately, it is so small, I just use it as a very large USB Flash drive.
So I guess you never god burned by the Deathstars?
All the manufacturers have their bad disks, holding Seagate out over WD is silly.
My Lenovo Y50-70 came with a WD Black 1TB SSHD, which never worked properly (10MB/sec max transfer rate), just replaced it with a 1TB SSD for $250, which is apparently now sold out on Newegg.
It looks like WD never released a driver for the SSHD that came with the Lenovo, but their disks require a driver to manage the SSD portion of the disk, so it was totally ignoring the SSD and writing and reading directly to the disk. Now I have sub 5 second boot times, and my Linux VM suspends in a flash. I doubt a SSHD would help with a VMware workload as the random reads would just cause the HD to thrash, you would be much better with a full SSD, but I can see how they are a bit pricey.
On another note, is it really valid to compare a 3.5" drive to a 2.5" drive in price and talk about how expensive the smaller drive is? The comparison should be to a laptop drive, not a full sized spinning rust.
Incidentally, I paid $250 for a 1TB SSD just last week, and now the cheapest 1TB is $322, and the one I bought isn't available anymore http://www.newegg.com/Product/...
So, the fact that SSDs last longer than mechanical hard drives means they will never catch on? You shouldn't take numbers you don't understand to mean weaknesses.
SSDs are more reliable than spinning rust
On another note entirely, why did you post a signature manually as an AC?
Um, the whole island is populated by people with dark skin. DR is pretty poor in comparison to what people in the US are used to, but yeah, they live pretty well there. I personally cannot give an answer to why it is so much worse in Haiti compared to DR, but it isn't the number of people with dark skin.
When I was in the DR last Christmas/New Years, I took one of my kids out 4 wheeling, and as part of that excursion, they took us to a Haitian refugee village. It was suggested we bring candy for the Haitian children, so my son had a big bag of candy that was stored in my back pack for these kids. Before we got to the village, we stopped at an intersection with a road. While there, some (possibly) Haitian kids were around asking for the candy, so I started giving them some. One of the kids snuck up on my son, ripped the bag away from him and ran off with it. I just personally hope that that kid shared it with his fellow children, but somehow I doubt it.
This story might highlight nothing at all, but it did enlighten me a little bit. In the future, I will be more careful about holding the bag myself to prevent theft.

That article is pure evil. I like it.

Such as the stealth capability?
I bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/... for $250 just last week. 1TB SSD.
Where do you find 1 Gb hard disks?
Perhaps you meant 1 TB (notice the upper case B, that means Byte, the lower case b means bit, T means Tera, while G means Giga).

It is all about buying a brand you trust, or not trusting your important data to an SSD (use good backups...).

When was the last time you recovered the data from an actual failed hard drive?
When spinning rust fails, it is pretty catastrophic to your data as the head crashes into the platter and gouges out the data and the head.
That is what Amazon Glacier is for.

He also misspells a lot as alot, what kind of educated person makes that mistake? :)
The IRS doesn't set taxes. If you are a US citizen, write your senators and congressman. If you aren't a US citizen, do so in your own damn country.
Giving people the ability to direct where funding goes means nothing gets fully funded. Good luck with that model.
Yeah, those horrible Republicans that were in power in October 2011 when the IRS bought the Stingray device.

Doh, that should be Mohammed, Allah is god, Mohammed was his prophet.
Allah would be caught up in a child sex ring or the human trafficking sting.
I wouldn't exactly call it adulterous, she was only engaged, not married in the current sense. It was a pregnancy out of wedlock though.
or the potpourri of liberal nonsense laws passed by the idiots who run this state.
I don't know that you understand the history of anti prostitution laws. It isn't the liberals that passed them originally.
Damn, you beat me to it, now I'll get a redundant mod :)
Prostitution is already legal, it just requires a camera being used at the same time.
