    Omg, I just lost an hour of my life. That site is pure awesome :)

    You actually run those disks? I have never heard of someone who knows computers actually running them.

    You are giving him crap about using a word that sounds exactly the same, then you type a company's name incorrectly?

    The name is one word, not two, but at least you used all the letters in the correct order. :)

  4. Re:Again on OS X Lion Ships With Faulty NVidia Drivers · · Score: 1

    Servers require video cards. You haven't had any post issues, or needed to setup a RAID array I am guessing, as both of those operations require video cards.

  5. Re:Facts on Amazon App Store 'Rotten To the Core,' Says Dev · · Score: 1

    Even better:

    Any EULA that less than 90% of the target audience can understand is null and void.

    I would love to see EULAs changed to have the first 4 pages be the layman's version while the rest can be the detailed lawyerese version, or even a "click here for detailed legal version"

    Actually, Oxygen is blue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen This is why the sky appears blue, not due to refraction but absorption/reflection.

    Troll? I have always seen Logitech to have by far the best devices around. Headsets, keyboards, mice, whatever they make is the best quality in the industry.

  9. Re:breach of contract on AT&T To Start Data Throttling Heaviest Users · · Score: 1

    Get a T1, the fine print is much smaller. They even discount your service based on outages. Of course you will pay out the nose for the service...

  10. Re:Zag on Analyzing Long-Term SSD Failure Rates · · Score: 1

    Our next SAN/NAS purchase will definitely have good MLC SSDs on tier-0 or as massive read/write cache

    Did you perhaps mean SLC? MLC would be such a waste in that use case.

  11. Re:Too early to say? on Analyzing Long-Term SSD Failure Rates · · Score: 1

    My Intel x-25 SLC (32 GB I think) is still going strong, it is about 4 years old, and I don't even have trim support. But it is all in how you use it. I load my video games on it so that I get fast load times. The data doesn't change much, and I get that speed where I need it the most.

  12. Re:Uh, yes they are on Analyzing Long-Term SSD Failure Rates · · Score: 1

    The purple Google HDD curve is by far the worst, but theirs looks like after 3 years 20% of the drives will have failed. That by far is the worst graph on there, and shoots above the SSDs quite quickly.

  13. Re:The sad part is... on Suggesting Innovative Uses For Retired Space Shuttles · · Score: 1

    That one was pretty good. I also liked the suggestion of the airshow tour, that makes good use of the shuttle, and allows it to generate revinue...sort of. I imagine the fuel costs for moving the shuttle would dwarf anything coming in from the show.

    I can just see a pool being put in the cargo area...that would be a big damn pool. It could even be used for the space suit training stuff.

    Is it really stealing if you gave them the info?

  15. Re:This wouldn't be a big deal except on Google+ Account Suspensions Over ToS Drawing Fire · · Score: 2

    Um, you have your order wrong there. Germany requested the data (saying they wanted to make sure it wasn't PII that was collected) AFTER Google admitted to collecting it and offered to destroy it with witnesses. In other words, Germany wanted access to the data for data mining, not to prevent the leakage of PII, or else destroying the data would have been sufficient as it was in many other countries.

  16. Re:Which way does it turn? on Astronomers Find Largest Known Extraterrestrial Water Reserve · · Score: 1

    I doubt we could answer that one way or another (as we can't resolve the object well enough at those distances) but first, we need to determine which direction is up, and which is down. We have people even on Earth who don't agree on that one.

  20. Re:It shoule be $50 Billion on fusion! on Obama Administration Tests the Waters With Ocean Power Startups · · Score: 1

    Or perhaps Clinton canceled the funding and Bush Jr. brought it back? But of course, the US government is a megalithic being that always acts on things the same way throughout many presidencies.

  21. Re:It shoule be $50 Billion on fusion! on Obama Administration Tests the Waters With Ocean Power Startups · · Score: 1

    Your grammar on that sentence was terrible. I believe you are trying to say that not many governments are willing to, but that is not what you said. Yes, some governments who don't have to worry about tsunamis and huge earthquakes got scared and decided to move away from nuclear. At the time it mostly sounded like politicians pandering for votes more than any actual good reason. Many governments have said that they are not stopping using nuclear, and they are right to say it.

    Along with the need for the fish ladders is the problem of the vegetation that gets submerged by the lake formed by the dam. As the vegetation decomposes, it causes problems with the water in the lake killing many forms of life in the lake.

  23. Re:So Intel's been sitting on its ass on Obama Administration Tests the Waters With Ocean Power Startups · · Score: 1

    When Intel hits that insurmountable wall, I see more applications of micro tubules to move water through the processor and then moving 3D. What is wrong with a .5" on a side cube with water cooling instead of a .5" on a side square?
