Never. You know life did come from other parts of the solar system. First we tried Mars, but we couldn't seem to keep an atmosphere, then we tried Venus and cooked the planet, then we moved here and have been happy ever since.:)
You know, we in the west are trying our damndest to destroy all life on the planet. If only the rest of you would help, we may be able to test this theory...
Can you imagine an airplane made in China though? Do they even have an FAA? It would probably be made of lead and the wings would fall off when taxiing...:)
Typically on the window sticker of cars it has a percentage listing of where the parts come from. But yeah, my Camry was assembled in KY, which means that all the body parts are made there, the engine and transmission probably come from Europe, and the design comes from Japan. If you would really like to know the percentages, I could grab the window sticker and look at it.
Most of the manufacturers stopped selling SLC because the cost was so high that they did not sell well. I do however have at home a Intel X-25 40GB SLC, and it is blazing fast, still running after 3 years ( I think), but it did cost quite a bit back then.
I much prefer the people with viruses just give me their computers. Dumpster diving is annoying, and it is so much easier when they just give the stuff away.
If we did that (after the 10 year ramp up period) China would just undercut the prices and drive them out of business (again). They are currently putting forth efforts to reopen several mines/processing plants, but according to previous Slashdot stories, it isn't an overnight process.
With SSDs it kind of depends. If it is a controller failure, you lose the whole damn thing. If it is a wear problem, yes, you don't lose access to the data, just the ability to write to the sector. Many people also seem to think that MLC = SSD, instead of realizing that SLC >>>> MLC, and MLC = crap.
Yes. We have another cluster where they tried to make it a VM, the power went out and when everything came back, it was actually quite difficult to bring everything back. Having a seperate vCenter server prevents that issue, and it has enough horsepower to run any other stuff that we want to throw on it.
You go out and buy a Dell blade cluster, it contains 16 identical blades with 2 sockets of 6 cores each and 24 GB of RAM. You hook this blade cluster to an Equalogics array for storage. Install ESX on 15 servers, vcenter on 1, now you can install whatever servers you need, and they are entirely fault tolerant.
Oops, there is smoke coming from one of the ESX systems, and it seems to be unresponsive; vCenter detects the failure and moves the virtual machines without downtime. I don't know what crack Linus is smoking, but Linux cannot do this with very many services.
For every good syndication coming from Canada, there is a "Stargate Universe" Holy crap, that series really needed a soap opera in another galaxy. I wish they did more Atlantis though, that city needed more fleshing:)
BTW, did anyone ever wonder why they didn't find the plans for the zero point modules in the computer? The ancients had to of built them somehow...
I loved how his position on telecom immunity was that it should never happen, then when the bill came up for vote in congress, he voted for it and changed his web site. This was exactly when I realized that Obama was just another charismatic liar.
Maybe I need to look into buying some lead underwear...there is a reason they cover your crotch when giving you an x-ray. Also, medical x-rays don't penetrate metal, so these must be of much higher energies...
Heck, it would be a great tertiary screen for my desktop. Why hasn't someone come up with software that can turn an Android into another screen (not RDP or VNC where it would be the screen)?
Perhaps you should reduce your expectations? Dual core is rather new in tablets, so it is still quite expensive. The Nook Color is $250 but does not have dual core. Nowhere in the GP was dual core mentioned, just better features and he even mentioned two features he liked more.
Seconded. I love the Nook with Cyanogen. The only thing I don't like is that Cyanogen seems to decrease the battery life to two days, but not a big deal except when I am camping.
Just because the average consumer sees nothing past "ooo shiney" does not mean that it is a good tablet. If you want a useful tablet, you do not buy iOS.
Slashdot Mirror
Except if you have Verizon, they route Skype through voice...freaking idiots...
About right. Some bricks fell off of buildings in downtown Baltimore, and the USGov closed down (any excuse?) but no reported injuries.

Such as the Judge and Jury?

A chainsaw would work too.

His number makes sense when you realize it is a total, not yearly number.

That would not surprise me in the least. There are some people in this world who have so much money that there is very little they cannot accomplish.

The detector mentioned is for you to carry so you can avoid being spammed with x-rays. Therefor it would be a personal purchase, not government.
It seems available in the US, but still 399.99 for the 16gb

So no sell off yet, but I can always deal with waiting until they are in the bargain bin.
