If Hynix is simply used in most RAM modules, then even with the same failure rate you're more likely to find that brand in failed modules. And if your sample is small enough, you could easily find no other brand in failed modules.
I walked to the credit union, where I should have started.
I've been using one for over a decade, and have for years kept less than $10 or so in accounts for extended periods. I have paid no fees that I can remember, and get a free box or two of checks whenever I run out, and have a debit/check card as well.
But credit unions still practice fractional reserve banking, which means that they inflate the money supply and reap the benefits of this counterfeit money they create, so I'm still looking for an alternative.
Sony memory card pricing hurts them in many ways. It's one of the many reasons I won't buy a Sony camera (no, it's not that I can't pirate pictures or whatever). My favorite shop's prices:
2GB SD card: $8 but I've seen them as low as $6 before.
4GB SD card: $13
8GB SD card: $19
16GB SD card: $33
32GB SD card: $85
2GB MS Duo card: $27
4GB MS Duo card: $35
8GB MS Duo card: $60
16GB MS Duo card: $150
32GB MS Duo card: $250
It's obviously that MS tax everyone on Slashdot talks about. Even other companies are affected by it!
When was the last time Microsoft did something the customers wanted, instead of forcing them to "take it or leave it". When was the last time any Office application didn't brake file compatibility with previous versions.
I'm sure there's a good car analogy here, but I'm just not grasping it...
I'm trying to figure out this 29%. Does that mean they for example block the address when the first two bits (out of 128) are 00, but not when they're 01, 10, or 11? So instead of being able to access 340282367000000000000000000000000000000 addresses, you can only access 241600481000000000000000000000000000000 addresses?
And please learn how to cough correctly in public, if you must. Don't put your hands over your mouth, because you then deposit your cough on your hands and spread it all over everything you touch. At least cough into your shoulder. You'd think this would be easy to follow, but I rarely see people in public cough this way (grrr).
I like the idea of leaving the negative reviews up and attaching the manufacturer's response. My reasoning is simple: shit happens. At some point there will be problems of some kind. That's a given, and a corporation's attempt to cover up this fact of life to give an illusion of perfect products that don't have even a very small percentage of defects looks pretty damned suspicious to me.
Yeah, that's a good point. Deleting negative reviews because the issue was resolved would be like deleting all traces of a bug from the repository once it was fixed, even though the record of its cause and what was done to fix it are still valuable information. So here, you make the case for keeping the problem report, but also showing how it was resolved; that way, that useful information is available to future potential buyers. A company with no negative comments would look suspicious compared to others with negative comments and resolutions, so removing things wouldn't pay.
As more people opened accounts and flocked to Norrath, spending money on new items, researchers saw inflation spike more than 50 percent in five months.
Yeah, but they can just create money out of thin air in the game, unlike the real world. Er, wait...
I have had my reviews not published on Overstock when they were negative. I tried multiple times to get the review online, and I quit buying anything from overstock without first finding external reviews.
Or better, stop buying from overstock altogether. Support sites that don't cherry-pick their reviews.
I wonder if they also found that people who got flu shots were 100% more likely to have gotten a flu shot than those who didn't, and additionally 99% more likely to have decided to get a flu shot than those who didn't.
I posted a negative review of an item, shortly thereafter Newegg emailed me asking to resolve my complaint about the item in exchange for removing the negative review. To their credit, Newegg resolved the issue, but the net result was to artificially alter the reviews of the product.
I don't get it; they resolved the issue, so that you had nothing negative to post in the end. Let's say that instead of posting the negative review, you had contacted them of the problem to see if they would resolve it. If they hadn't, you would have posted the review; if they had, you wouldn't have, since there was no problem. The latter is what happened.
I was recently looking into LCD sub-pixel layouts, and found that there are more than just RGB columns. For one, there's the same arrangement, but with every other row shifted horizontally by 1.5 sub-pixels. This improves things because the spacing between like-colored sub-pixels is similar, no matter what direction; with columns, vertically they are right next to each other, while horizontally they're 3 sub-pixels apart. Others put twice as many greens. There's even RGBW, that adds white into the mix, to increase brightness and efficiency.
But the problem with all the alternate geometries is that you don't have pixels in a normal grid, so it seems that most computers will always be stuck with the sub-optimal grid arrangement. But for custom devices where there isn't lots of legacy software, they can use new arrangements. Things like cell phones and portable games fall into this category. It's very similar to the processor architecture issue, where personal computers are mostly stuck with x86, while others can use things like ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, etc.
Maybe this isn't exactly the "inventor's dilemma", but it reminded me of it.
Did it lose users in an absolute sense, or relative to the number of computer users? If the latter, then the absolute number could have stayed the same or even increased, if the total number of users also increased. That is, (x-1)/y x/y but also x/(y+1) x/y.
Here's another one of their findings: "Based on our sample of the identity thieves in prison, we found that every single one of them had been caught. We thus conclude that law enforcement is doing unusually well at catching identity thieves."
The hardest part would be SS#, but even then it's not that hard to get, considering how often someone asks for mine, and refuses to take anything else.
How would he know if you gave him a fake social security number? If they really need yours, you'll find out fairly quickly when they tell you the number you gave didn't check out.
You forgot unit tests, and perhaps test-driven development. This way we can simplify the laws as much as possible, knowing we haven't eliminated their intended purpose. But I think this would reveal their true purpose, as there would be a unit test that ensured that the laws were incomprehensible and too numerous to actually follow.
just about every new console he builds and describes leads to a slashdot article, which leads to his webserver being reduced to a smoldering pile of nothingness. He really should stop using his old XT for a webserver. I suspect his portable PS3 would probably handle the load better...
Or Slashdot could just provide links to the Coral cached version, and solve the problem for every submitted site like this.
That sounds like an employer taking responsibility by stating company policy for employees when they are driving employer-owned vehicles. When those same people are driving their own cars on their own time they are still free to be fucking morons and kill themselves.
And kill others. Which is why this is kind of odd, since it's not just the vehicle that's put at risk.

So, did he have a script that automatically uploaded this FOIA on himself to a public server?

Or a DMCA lawsuit or some BS. Seems better to just avoid Nvidia products, rather than try to make them suck less.

Pirates can't read! Sailing the seas and plundering treasure doesn't require reading skills. So no, books won't be pirated.

Apparently this guy's summary had that negative information removed.

Indeed... pk-zip, gzip, 7-zip are daily essentials.
That's odd; it just appears as ******* to me. Is that because it only shows up for the person whose password it is? Cool.
