  1. Re:Chickety China on An Engineer's Eureka Moment With a GM Flaw · · Score: 1

    The problem, I think, is that China now has both Made in Japan 1960's quality and Made in Japan 2000's quality, it all depends on which company makes the parts.

  4. Re:I would like to know on Samsung SSD 840 EVO MSATA Tested · · Score: 1

    And my experience is that the memory compression is so slow on a Core 2 Duo that it should be disabled by default for those processors. Before disabling it, my system kept freezing for nearly five seconds every time I switched programs using ALT+TAB. I disabled the damn thing and now my system runs nearly as well as it did with Snow Leopard.

  8. Re:I would like to know on Samsung SSD 840 EVO MSATA Tested · · Score: 1

    Should the OS care how the drive works? Shouldn't it just ask it to read/write data?

    RAM is still much faster than flash.

  10. Re:yup on Samsung SSD 840 EVO MSATA Tested · · Score: 2

    Aren't mSATA drives half the size of a 2.5" drive? Put two of these in a laptop, in Raid 0.

  20. Who the hell was driving that car? on Tesla Model S Gets Titanium Underbody Shield, Aluminum Deflector Plates · · Score: 2

    This happened after the vehicle impacted a roundabout at 110 mph, shearing off 15 feet of concrete curbwall and tearing off the left front wheel, then smashing through an eight foot tall buttressed concrete wall on the other side of the road and tearing off the right front wheel, before crashing into a tree. The driver stepped out and walked away with no permanent injuries and a fire, again limited to the front section of the vehicle, started several minutes later.

    This sounds like something yon might see if you're watching Road Runner

  21. Security on Wal-Mart Sues Visa For $5 Billion For Rigging Card Swipe Fees · · Score: 2

    I enabled 2FA* for my accounts on multiple crypto-currencies exchanges. I enabled 2FA for my Blizzard account. I also have 2FA for my PayPal account.

    It requires to download a lot of javascript shit just to try to initiate a file download which then fails because "my browser isn't supported".

    Why the fuck is it so difficult to just link to a fucking file on the server? What the hell is wrong with mega.co.nz?

    Every time you link to a file on that website, be aware that a shitload of users will NOT be able to download it.
