I really don't pay attention to the PR of drive companies, so I've not seen anyone say "never". But so far, the SSD market is so small that a typical drive maker like Seagate really didn't need to bother with them.Even now, it's not a big market, but it may be time for a traditional drive manufacturer to get into it.
Not horse dung, you're talking about something different. The person you replied to talked about mainstream uses of flash as large mass storage. Most of the uses you refer to are still niche.
I'd much rather feel safer by not needlessly stirring up hornet's nests.
Besides, the amount of support Saddam gave to al qaeda was basically moral support at best. Iraq didn't take down the WTC, nor did they assist in any way. I don't really think it mattered much what side did it, but our situation today may have been due to blunders. The US gave arms to Bin Laden et al. to fight out the Soviets. Why were the Soviets there? To stomp out violent religious extremists. And the US supported said violent religious extremists, and allowed them to carry on as the Taliban. Which was used as a force to allow terrorist training in Afghanistan which eventually was used to fell the WTC.
By failing to ask questions, a sequence of events was set into motion based only on who is our current enemy and not on any possible consequences that may be had later on.
So far as anyone can tell, the US economy hasn't shrunk yet, but growth is low, about 1% or a little less. That's why Greenspan called it a "pale recession".
Nonetheless, whether or not we are in one, I think recessions can help innovation. A hobbyist OSS developer might spend some time developing their pet projects. Others use a layoff as a kick in the pants to start a business or work on some form of pet project they've been meaning to do for a while.
As far as I know, the RIAA doesn't make any royalties from radio play. They recently tried to get Congress to overturn a law that prevents them from charging for radio play, I think it failed again, just like it failed many decades ago.
Heaven help you if you're doing lossless HD... or lossless, high-color HD... might as well go buy stock in hard drive company now.
Isn't that the truth. Right now, Redcode RAW goes up to 130 GB/hr. Despite the name, it is actually lossy. I guess lossless 4k out of the Red One camera might be about 1TB/hr.
CCDs are only one kind of imaging technology. It's not necessarily the best, there are trade-offs. The other major type is CMOS, which has several sub-types and variations.
The rovers Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity use a lot of different color filters that are placed in front of the imaging sensor. Because the filters are fixed, 3 CCD, or 3 CMOS cameras isn't very good for science, it's good for making a pretty picture.
But, I don't steal videos, music, and software off the internet
I don't either, and I still have terabytes of data, such as audio and video files.
Depending on how it's encoded, 1 hour of video can take 1GB to 13GB without even going to a professional codec. ATSC HDTV recorded from an antenna easily takes 6GB per hour. My AVCHD camcorder runs at about 8GB per hour, converting it to a more editable intermediate codec easily runs 13GB an hour.
Which explains why Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, and 2003 are all not vulnerable to this attack.
But they too are vulnerable to other kinds of attack by someone that has physical access to the machine. While the attack would be different for non-Vista Windows machines, I think those are about as easy.
What you need to do is switch the faceplates so it looks like the old hardware has the new faceplates, so you can stand to lose the "new" hardware without really losing anything of value.
I just saw it as a blog post with a bunch of buzz words.
I don't see where it is taboo to say AppleTV isn't up to par. I think it's a fine example to keep to show that Apple doesn't always make a hit the first time around. I'd like to see some better competition, the secrets to Apple's successes aren't secret, most of the information is out there, but maybe it's constantly misinterpreted or poorly adapted to an incompatible culture or management style.
I really don't want one company to have all the keys to the "complete digital home". As it is, Apple has a habit of not fixing annoying bugs in existing products, they'll just fix it in the next revision of the product, which adds different bugs. It's kind of irritating.
And I really doubt that any company, even Apple, would really want to or be able to serve up paid media and install BT to link into illegal distribution of copyrighted materials onto their box like that, and there's a few reasons for that.
That's hardly convincing. Just because a lot of people feel a certain way doesn't make it so. In this case, all that makes them is emotionally immature people. Letting the emotions get in the way to the point that relocation is equated as destruction, as well as the examples you gave, are basically examples of a people that just can't let go. It doesn't even look like it's really about WWII memorials, that was over six decades ago now, now it's just a bitter grudge.
Yes, but the GP poster wanted a $100 eInk device, which I don't think there are any that are close. I think Sony is $300, Amazon is $400, but those are a bit proprietary too.
I see a big difference between relocation and destruction. Go and be offended all you want, but to call them equivalent sounds like pointless whining and petty emotionalism to me.
I don't think the satellite is going to last that long, I don't expect to see a pole reversal in the next decade, I think it's more like hundreds of years away.
"Personally, I see this as an evidence of how easy is to wage electronic 'guerrilla warfare'."
If it was easy, I'd think it would be done far more often. It's harder than real guerrilla warfare because those waging it need to have a fair amount of technical knowledge in order to make the tools and carry out the attack. The tools to carry out a real guerrilla attack can be made with far simpler technologies invented seven or so decades ago.
So what? You got one anyway. I think the reasons why a Linux user doesn't get a virus is actually relevant. There are far too few Linux users for there to be an economic incentive to make a virus. Linux may be coded and set up better, but a real test of that would be when 20+% of desktops are running Linux. As yet, it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.
No operating system is invulnerable, but most of the incentive to make malware is to make money. Given that most computer users are on Windows, that's what you want to target to make the broadest reach for the amount of effort. To add to that, most Linux users are fairly savvy, to use linux, you are more likely to have to worked to understand how to use the computer.

I don't consider that to be the same thing.

A recession is a shrinking of the GDP for two consecutive quarters.
That's the popular definition. The NBER and economists don't use that to define a recession.

I think they are anticipating the death of radio,

The Tunguska event could be mis-interpreted as a nuclear strike if it were to happen today over a populated area.
I thought nuclear strikes were highly radioactive. That and other clues would be easy to gather very quickly.

Add Natalie Portman as the spokesperson, and that would indeed be quite a test of new hardware.
But I don't know if getting hot grits in the ports is a good thing or a bad thing.

The truth that I see is that you people are desperately searching for reasons to be insulted.
That is the only plausible explaination that I see for people that see relocation as destruction.

I think that would happen in due time. I imagine some manufacturer will find a way to make eink cheaper.
