Yes. Samsung certainly did take the first steps into the 3D NAND world and is ahead in that regard. Still, Micron might be ahead in the labs and could leapfrog them if their "floating gate" approach is superior. It's too early for me to tell.
Individual layers in 3D NAND are not as dense as planar NAND. The density should increase as the technology matures. I also suspect that they're intentionally holding back so that they can maximize profits with incremental improvements.
Sorry, I was assuming you meant 1 mile from the South pole because if you were at the South pole to start, then you cannot walk South. Clearly the answer is supposed to be the North pole. (But I won't argue the "earth" part...)
I've used ZFS on Linux for years now and it's been fantastic for my long-term storage. One 2 TB drive runs all the time and I power another one up periodically to auto-sync with the first one. That saves power and drive wear vs an always-on RAID0 setup.
According to CEO Tim Cook, he's unhappy with Apple's diversity numbers and says Apple is working to improve them
Simple solution, Mr. Cook... Just suggest to the Apple board that they replace the CEO with a more "diverse" choice. That way you could be a good example instead of putting other people at a disadvantage because of their race or gender.
2.X requires Mono if you want to run it on Linux or OSX.
KeePassX 2.0 (only alpha releases so far) uses the 2.X database format and has a native Linux/OS X version. I'm using it myself and don't have mono installed. It does have some nuisances, though... The big one for me is that when you save the database, it changes the file's user/group. Also, I don't think there's browser support yet.
If you have a "phobia", that generally means you have irrational fear of something. There are plenty of things that I believe are wrong that I don't fear. The belief that smoking is wrong, for instance, doesn't at all imply fumiphobia.
Make sure you have redundancy and/or backup so that you don't lose your data. Your hard drive will eventually die, so if it lives a long time that simply means that you're going to lose more stuff when it eventually does bite the rust.
Well, fellow terrible person, at least you can manage to say something without drawing ire.;-) This really isn't the best place to have a rational discussion.
If it's not nature, then why is the maternal care for young children universal? Not only that, but gender roles occur throughout the animal kingdom, not just in homo sapiens. I don't think it's reasonable to hold the position that gender has zero impact here.
OK, I'll clear things up. I agree that it would have been better to say "mothers and fathers", but this discussion is specifically about women, so it wasn't really me who singled out the gender. Now, that being said, I do think that mothers are better caretakers for young children, as I said in my other reply. It's just the way nature has set things up. My overall point is that we should appreciate what women are doing for society, instead of putting so much emphasis on fields of secondary importance.
Someone needs to raise the next generation. Young children need lots of attention, and women are more naturally inclined toward caring for them. That's not to say that fathers can't also do a good job, but it's not as instinctual for them as it is for mothers.
Also, I do think that everyone should work for the good of society. Hopefully, this will make you happier as an individual, too.
Unfortunately, the effort to equally represent women in science usually ends up devaluing the other, more important work that they do... raising a good family. Society has a greater need for mothers than scientists.
The problem with this is that when the government takes on welfare projects, individuals effectively lose their ability to help these people. This, in turn, makes people more selfish: The people who receive welfare checks don't see the personal sacrifice that is made on their behalf and the people who are taxed do not experience the fulfillment of lending a helping hand.
Another big problem with social welfare programs here in the U.S. is that they often result in able-bodied people refusing to work because they will lose their benefits. It's really terrible to see people become dependent on the government for no good reason, and I've seen this first-hand.
Sounds like an awesome family! Of course, the farther they get from their roots, the more likely they are (statistically speaking) to become criminals. Speaking of which... What are you doing hanging around a trashy site like SD?;-)
Note that I said "also". Your original statement seems to imply that you think it's OK for a country to abuse monopoly power, and I was wondering how far you would go with that. I don't think it's ever right to abuse monopoly power. In any case, the article isn't really about China, so I'm not sure why you're so critical of it.

Isn't Micron a step ahead with their 384Gb NAND chip?: http://www.micron.com/about/in...
1 + (pi / 10) miles from the south pole? (1.314...) Neat idea. :-)
It doesn't work because you cannot walk East or West from the South pole.
Sorry, I was assuming you meant 1 mile from the South pole because if you were at the South pole to start, then you cannot walk South. Clearly the answer is supposed to be the North pole. (But I won't argue the "earth" part...)
It's impossible to walk East or West when you are at one of the poles, so it cannot be the South pole.

Sounds like a local problem with your computer, and not some issue with the "cloud". What OS are you running?

It's amazing how age can affect a person's voice. ;-)

So do you also think it's OK for a company to abuse its monopoly power?
I agree with what you said, but you haven't fully explained how politics work.
Your kinder and more accurate self FTFY. ;-)
Yes, but some politicians are better than others. Giving money to the most corrupt politicians is worse than doing nothing.
