Isn't it more like that window7 support TRIM, meaning that it will issue a trim command to the SSD after a delete? The SSD firmware already has enough worries then to dive into a native file system.
dd was was fine in the year 2000. It does not work today for the following reasons: Harddrive do re-maps for bad blocks. These bad blocks are not touched by OS tools. SSD does this even more aggressive and even by default keeps a pool (10%) of flash just to recover form material defects and might alos compress data (e.g. write all zero bytes and it will compress the data) to minimize the number of writes.
In theory the security erase tools send the disk a low level command that will really zero all data, but the investigators did show that this optional STA command was not implemented correctly in some cases.
dd if =/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdxxx will probably erase the data, BUT NOT ALL OF THE DATA ON A SSD, rewriting with zero's might be a non-productieve idea with advanced disk firmwares.
PS, I agree that overwriting the data multiple times that some old tools did is just a waste of time, on a SSD it will only cause more wear.
e.g. Did you know you cannot simply replace the HP buildin wireless with a pci-express card version because the wireless needs to be on a bios whitelist.
In TFA it is stated QT will still be the development platform for symbian. As i understand it WP7 is a.NET platform only (for apps), and QT has stated it will not adapt QT for.net. QT will still keep to exists for symbian. And as the other statements here state: qt can stand on it's own feet as a cross platform tool.
Besides that, it is still possible that in a couple of years symbian is mature enough to be the high end user friendly platform. Currently it does not manage to keep up with iPhone/Android. To keep a finger in the high end market they try to buy that part of the market with WP7.
But now nokia has the strange situation that a intern developed platform (symbian) is competing with an external developer phone OS (winphone7)
What is nokia going to run on it's tablets? is nokia creating tablets?
Cars with regenerative braking, like the toyota prius, do not have a direct mechanical link. The first part of the braking the breaks do not engage, but instead of this the wheels are connected to the generator.
Only in a fully electric fail mode (no power at all), a direct mechanical link is available.
so in `normal operation` these cars are brake by wire.
Why aren;t the adresses in 224.0.1.0- 238.255.255.255 made available? Are there any implementation that actually USE these adress (Yes, i know a lot of firewall block these as not supported... but why?)
I hope you realize amazon is a very strange protection against DDOS. Since on amazon you pay for the traffic you generate (/receive= $0.10 Gigagbyte). Your service keeps running, but the traffic that is generated makes easy a expensive exercise.
Why are you NATTING a ipv6 address in the first place? NATis very useful in certain condition because it implies an automatic firewall, but for IPV6 the one to many functinlatiy is not needed.
MS did not declare this. They just responded with a very generic, we are right, you are wrong, and ms declared the fact that you might have cheated does not create a ban.
If he cheated, all ok, but MS has to give some kind of prove, if there is no prove or more detailed explanation, then marking some "cheat" is slaunder (?is that the correct english word?)
There might be 2 answers to this. First problem might be that eyes really need more time to accomodate to 3d. Fast moving action scenes might be less appropiate for 3d in the current system. Maybe the problem really is 24fps, since blurring does not work the same way in 3d as in 2d.
Anyway, the is a bigh change that we are stuck at 24fps for a whole generation of cinema hardware. So at least the movies should adapt to this technology, Digital film at least solves the problem that the quality of the movie is not degraded afte a few weeks of running due to scratsches.
The solution is simple: No fast panning of the camera, and no big movements.
The shock... hollywood will have to concentrate more on story instead of effects. and the camaraman is becoming more of an proffession again..
I don't know where you got you 50% number from, but i am pretty sure that on Prius hybrid cars the efficiency is quite high to reach a high fuel efficiency.
The whole problem with electric hybrid cars is the price. Here the pressured air solution can help. If the price of a hydraulic system is low, and it can be used to add power to the mix at the short moment maximum power (and maximum inefficienty) is required, it might be a good solution to get better fuel efficienty
What matters here is the total price of the car. If a small pressured air system adds a small price to the car, but the fuel efficienty is increased more than the added price this a good thing.
Maybe pressured air is less efficient than a electric hybrid, but still much more efficient relative to a non-hybrid car.
1. They will deny anything. 2. You should worry more about the data on you r phone, what happend to it? Did anyone use it? Did they reformat it, and killed your data? 3. I bet they will send you a free screw after your lawyer sends a letter. In that case you are screwed. (Lawyer takes his standard fee, you cannot replace the screw, you lost a lot of time etc etc...)
Yes.. It is all great soicial advertising. There is no better way to leak things than to say "Please keep this a secret"(without any consequnces...) . It is exactly as the BBC did with doctor who in 2005(rose) where a perfect quality first episode was leaked to p2p a few days before the actual broadcast.
Since twitter is now hot they say " don't twitter about it".... right..
You don't need a depressed computer with an IQ of 6000 to figure this out.
Androids big advange is that is is open (compared to iPhone). All apps can run upon i without approval from the apple app store border. That does not make iPhone bad, it can still give a very good expierence.
But if you have an adroid phone, that is supposed to be open , and then you start locking a (big) part down, then you are limping: You don't have the advantage of an completely open platform and you don't have the advantage of closed expensive controlled fantasy environment of the iPhone.
If you do a thing, do it good. iPhone is a good closed platform. Android is a good open platform. Motorola is good at ?? making deals with carriers???
In the summery is written he is using GlovePIE That can be sued to use all kind of controllers, including wiimote, on a PC.
Since having a controller to control traditional (not made from the ground up kinect) games is a good idea i think the wiimote is a good alternative for this: -It has a button. (shoot) -It has a joystick. -It is wireless (bluetooth), and can be connect quite easy to a PC. -It was reverse enigeered some time ago, no hard hacking to do.
Looking at Cassandra from a traditional DBMS viewpoint i notice one thing, it does not have transaction like a true transactional database.
This reminds me of early MYSQL databaseengines where there also was not transactional support (but had " huge" speed, until you went multi user and the lack of rowlevel locking bit you hard.)
There are a lot of applications where the lack of tradional ACID is acceptable, but one has to keep this in mind in the designing in the application.
(SQL/ACID is a incomplete model anyway, since in itself it does not have a facility to show updates to data to users. )

Direct Rendering manager belongs in the kernel, not in a user process ;) ;) ;)
But i really like those black bars in 3d, 240hz with a dynamic rang of 1:100.000 with 7.1 HD master audio.
No it is not.

Seen the movie tron? It is exactly like this, but on a virus scale,without the bikes. You get a exact digital image after the subject is vaporized.

Well, this message came from the carrier. That one could have been free.
In Europe Only the sender pays a charge (exception: when you are in a foreign country).

If you had headphones... this could be true.
Virtual haircut (use headphones)
Adding headphones to the glasses adds a price....
Everyone is waiting for 3D (steoscopy) without glasses... well multiple audio sources might be the solution for 3d audio without headphones.

According to ars, Yahoo mail might be the one to blame.
"All very peculiar. The main culprit fingered by the Windows Phone 7 community over this issue (though not named in the statement) is Yahoo! Mail."
