Not really surprised at that, I've got a first generation SSD(OCZ Vertex), and going by everything including a rough estimate I've still got 6 years left on it. And you're right on conventional drives giving bad sectors, my 1TB and 2TB drives were 3 months old and started throwing bad sectors. The 1TB will likely have to be replaced when I get back home, since it was causing controller resets as well.
Maybe your application, but not for others. SSD's fit well into niche areas in the server market, the last server install I did with SSD's was 5 years ago, they're still going strong. On the otherhand, I've had entire SCSI arrays fail in a year and a half. At least hotswapping makes it less of a pain all the way around.
Don't forget that they also design their cities with firebreaks in mind, entire sections of cities are designed to stop fires from running wild throughout even with the collapse of buildings and NG ruptures. It's not fool proof but if you only lose 1/10 of a city to fire instead of the entire thing because you can't get emergency services rolling, or a lack of water it sure does help. Wish I could find the articles on it from a few years ago, very interesting, I'm pretty sure Natgo has also done a few shows on it.
Well look on the bright side. They only have to be worried about being slaughtered by muslims if they're not, being that muslims repeatedly and routinely attack, murder, and slaughter people doing immunizations.
While true that Mandela embraced violence he felt that he had no choice at the time. Terrible acts were being committed against his people by the government of South Africa. I think most telling was that when he finally overcame and was elected president he did not use that power to trample the former oppressors but instead used his power to heal his country.
Yes terrible acts were committed against blacks by the government of South Africa, except that then the blacks came into power it was the blacks committing those same crimes against blacks and whites. Whites because "they felt they had it coming to them" and blacks for "standing up against the other blacks who wanted to commit the same crimes."
Peh, never mind that the ANC still to this day executes people in the streets, but they were most famous for doing so in their own concentration camps. If you call him a hero. I simply look at him like a terrorist who got what he wanted, and the people continue to condone those same actions he committed. And this isn't first hand experience, but it is from second hand from friends I know both white and black who used to live there and have long since fled.
Sorry Taco, there's a large swath of/. that don't believe muslims commit terrorist acts and have been successfully brainwashed to the Islam=peace bit as well. Which is nice and all, until you get a chance to either see, or experience said "religion of peace" first hand. My own experience was in the Philippines.
I see this as more akin to your next door neighbor running an extension line over to your home to borrow a little electricity â" and failing to tell you.
Reminds me of a buddy of mine who owned a business, and had contractors working on another building, decide to "use" his power without telling him. Well his solution was to send the company a bill labeled "asshole fee: $250" amazingly it was paid without a second though. I've heard of it happening in other places as well.
All the way back in 1995, when I first started using the World Wide Web, some users were advocating for strong privacy protections. We were ignored, then laughed at, then insulted with the "tinfoil hat" labrel.
Well there were some of us advocating that before 1995, even as a young teenager using usenet, gopher and so on I could see it. And I wasn't particularly smart, or anything else. But you could see the way it was going, you could hear the whispers in the dark as it were, if you watched how politicians reacted to this whole "internet thing." I was a huge political hound back then, and the Liberal Government of the day was drooling over this up here in Canada. Luckily massive political infighting, and other issues kept them at bay.
The problem today of course is that governments worldwide are catching up on the way, either being massively intrusive, or simply being outrageously intrusive. It'll come down the general population to realize this, but I don't have much faith in most people. Most people in Canada know we're slow to get moving, slow to get angry over anything, messing with two things though will get us going. Screwing around with Hockey, or the internet.
But digital goes further, so if you're on the fringe of an analogue signal, you'll get a decent digital signal (well, as long as they're being transmitted from the same approximate location).
Might hold true in some places where either if you're on a hill, or it's very flat. In say most of Southern Ontario outside of a major city like London, K/W, or Toronto most people lost 1/3 to 1/2 of the US stations they used to have and picked up some they never had before. I know a few people who are able to get 40 channels in digitial in Toronto, my friends down in Brownsville/Verschoyle Woodstock/Ingersoll/Beachville used to get 15 US, they get 3 US now.
Canada also has nasty H2S wells, though most of our NG comes from them out here in the west. The problem of course is that we occasionally get insane environmentalists trying to blow up the pipelines.
The poor young people get subsidies (up to 400% of the poverty line), or can stay on their parents insurance (until they're 26).
You should go look up what some of those "young people" are now paying, including upto 500% more yearly. Coming to the sticker shock of many university students this year.
Bet you want obamacare, extra health insurance, and a pension too. And suddenly the AC agrees, and discovers that these are funded by "stocks, bonds, and those fucking financial trading centres."
Well, they easily serve the same purpose. How long until "disagreeing with the politics of the ruling party" becomes a mental illness?
Considering during the 5ish years there's been a slew of attacks on people who "don't fit their world view" including pseudoscience like papers? It's already happening, funny thing about that most of them are attacks on conservatives or the tea party. Though there have been a few on liberals as well, all in all? It's exactly what every dictatorship does, you don't have to search far to find it.
True this, there were several cases a few years ago in Ontario(Cdn), of people getting into sleeping bags and throwing themselves off bridges infront of transport trucks and buses. Some of the more notable ones in that was the truck driver who heard the "thump" but the corpse laid between the trailer and the cab for nearly 140km until the police looking for the jumper asked truck drivers to pull and check their vehicles.
What a well thought out logical response. I'm guessing that such an elegant reply will fly over the heads of most people who expect something more indepth.
It sounds familiar because your hero Michelle Bachman was recently calling for an investigation of people in congress who are not "American enough" So yeah... Deja Vu.
Well don't worry. Democrats have survived on racial tension, and creating racial tension since the 1870's, and the current president and lacky's are continuing that fine distinction to this day.
Indeed it is, but the Office de la protection du consommateur has no jurisdiction over an American company.>quote> Actually it does, there's case law precedence via ebay, when they tried to force arbitration in the US. And any company that operates in Canada is bound by law to operate under the laws and consumer protections in each individual province and the whole of Canada.
Can't remember the caselaw number off the top of my head sorry, but it's something to look into.
Thats very interesting since brake fluid is specifically designed to have a high flashpoint and deal with lots of heat. It sounds almost as if ford never heard of a fuse either.
Yes and no, it's very easy to get close to the flash point initially if the person driving the vehicle is heavy on the brakes, or they're doing a lot of stop-go-stop-go driving, such as in heavy traffic. And brake fluid stays hot for a very long time, unless it's cold outside.
As for a fuse? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the way the wiring was done, since the setup on most cars these days uses the ECM for it. I suppose they could use a fusable link, but that's overkill. In turn, running a single fuse for just that part is also overkill. Probably what ended up happening was some electrical engineer said "it doesn't need to be fused because it's carrying 3v, and the chance of it causing a fire is low." And that's probably true. Unless of course something else happens, and two parts of the design team weren't talking about "what ifs" and all that.
Meanwhile the occurance of voter impersonation is approximately zero. Yes, these are laws to counteract a problem which simply does not exist. Meanwhile, the real purpose of voter ID laws is to prevent votes.
Your "LMAO" comes from ignorance on your part.
Really? We have voter ID laws in Canada, and we still get people trying to vote illegally. Then again, perhaps you can explain why every other western country and some non-western countries in the world have voter ID laws, but the US doesn't.
I'll wait, but I'm sure it's going to be filled with some form of "you're a racist" comment. Don't forget that it's morecommon than you think.

That 0.3% number is worldwide. Of the 159 cases reported in the US this year, ZERO died -- a rate of (roughly) 0.00%.
You might want to go back and re-read that more slowly, that 0.3% is for the US alone. It's 28% in undeveloped nations.
Well look on the bright side. They only have to be worried about being slaughtered by muslims if they're not, being that muslims repeatedly and routinely attack, murder, and slaughter people doing immunizations.
Yeah? How about mumps and rubella. They've had an outbreak of both of those, and measles in Canada as well. All due to the anti-vaxxers.
Have to wonder how many other apps are doing this that have not been caught yet
A lot, and I mean a damned lot. Even most basic QR readers do it now.

Hey now, I owned a station wagon, and it had no wood trim. Though all the body panels were plastic, just like the wood trim.

The Harper Regime is working as fast as it can! Give it time...
Odd I've been hearing that for the last 8 years, and it still hasn't happened.
If you live in Ontario, Quebec, or BC that's illegal under consumer protection laws.
