    Then how do you explain the failed sticks I have in front of me? HINT - if the controller circuity fails the data is in most cases gone.

    Because I asked for proof and you failed to provide it. I mean Crysis for a test? This is /. not digg.

    So tell me does Prime95 exercise the various SSE and related units? What about the virtualization sections of the chip? Or all the instructions that Prime95 doesn't execute? Don't bother looking it up - I can already tell you it doesn't.

    Add 1GB to that dual core 1.6Ghz and Vista preforms rather well.

    That isn't the complete picture as you most likely know. "WASHINGTON (AFP) -- The White House said Wednesday that Myanmar had still not answered its offers of aid for cyclone-ravaged areas, and warned that such a silence risked hampering relief efforts. "Everybody can understand that there is no substitute for being there on the ground to help people directly and trying to do so remotely is going to be impossible," said spokeswoman Dana Perino. "Our understanding is, not only have we not heard anything about our disaster team being allowed to go in to implement the help we have offered, but no one has been granted access to go in," she said. The United States has asked Myanmar to grant visas to a US disaster relief team now in neighboring Thailand, so that they can come in and assess aid needs, with about 60,000 people dead or missing in a tropical cyclone's wake. "We are increasingly concerned about the desperate situation that many people are facing there after the cyclone and we stand ready to help," Perino told reporters. "And we will try to help as best we can if we can't get into the country, but not being able to be there to help directly is going to hinder our efforts to help," she added. The White House announced Tuesday that it was offering three million dollars more in aid to the secretive and impoverished country, on top of an initial emergency allocation of 250,000 dollars. It also said that it was prepared to send four US Navy ships, laden with emergency relief supplies like blankets and water purification tablets, to Myanmar. The vessels were off Thailand's coast in a disaster-response exercise. "

    I didn't say we need DRM. I said that DRM is a reaction to all the stealing. If simple alpha-numeric keys worked the vendors would not be paying for DRM related products. BTW your examples will not work.

    If people didn't steal so many copies of their product they would not have to result to such restrictive DRM.
