Hello.. this is your credit card company. Looks like they followed their clearly posted refund policy, therefore your chargeback has been denied.

Seriously.. your credit card company doesn't just do whatever the fuck you want. They follow Visa/MC/Discover/Amex rules.. and those are for the consumer AND merchant.
Where the Top Gear guys compare track mileage to real-world mileage, but don't point out that that's what they are doing.
If the quote is: "we worked out that on our track it would run out after just 55 miles", how are they not making it clear that they are talking about track mileage? Are you saying that in the real world, you like to drive your car around in circles at high speeds?
The second point is that the figure of 55 miles came not from our heads, but from Tesla’s boffins in California. They looked at the data from that car and calculated that, driven hard on our track, it would have a range of 55 miles.
You misunderstand the terms because of your lack of reading of communist material. Both "People's democracy" and "People's Republic" are communist terms.
I think your confusion will be cleared up if you simply understand that "people" only includes communists -- the rest are to tolerate communist rule (and they are not included in the term "people"). Look up "people's dictatorship" if you're curious.
They just need different quotes from these same people:
"Think Metro is shit? Learn to code and create your own damn interface" -- Bill Gates
"I'm going to keep selling your information. If you learn to code, you can create the next facebook that doesn't." -- Mark Zuckerberg
"I know many of your hate my terrible music. If you learn how to code, you can make your computer mute your speakers every time it hears my voice." -- Will.I.Am
I hope his study wasn't as terrible as the slashdot summary makes it sound. Or are we really suppose to believe that a computer disconnected from the internet with ONLY information on DNA replication is equivalent to a computer on the internet with a wide variety of educational and non-educational material easily accessible in seconds. Or maybe we're suppose to believe kids would choose to read information on DNA in a language they don't speak instead of playing angry birds?
Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:
All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.
yes, tlc is used in sd/sdhc cards.. it's the cheapest and most compact. Essentially, each SLC cell has two states: 1 or 0; mlc has 4 states: 00, 01, 10, 11; and tlc has 8: 000, 001, 010, etc. Each state is maintained using a different voltage.
So 8mb of flash = 8mb of SLC; or 16mb of MLC, or 24mb of TLC.
So TLC is perfect for usb drives, sd cards, etc, where space is limited.
Apparently our definitions of plenty are different. FusionIO has ONE product w/ SLC. STEC has a few, but they are marked as industrial SSDs, just as I said in my original post.. and they are priced like industrial SSDs too.. about $1140 for 100gb. Industrial SSDs are typically $5-10 per GB... so that's right in line.
I own 2 840s... they are fine. If you're really concerned, samsung has a tool that will let you adjust the spare space.. so you can take a 256gb drive, set aside 20gb to use for spares as cells wear out, and use 236gb for your data.
If you read the article I linked to, an 840 128gb drive will last for about 272TB in writes... or about 11.7 years at 10gb/day.
It's much more likely that another part will wear out before the cells do.
Almost certainly MLC. SLC is really only found in industrial SSDs these days. Enterprise and consumer SSDs are all MLC, with the exception of Samsung 840, the first SSD to use TLC.
100,000 is only for SLC NAND. MLC, what is currently in most SSDs, is only 3,000, and TLC (found in usb drives, samsung 840, and probably more SSDs soon because it's cheaper) is only 1,000.
I want to be fair.. so here's the 2005 q1 results.. where 0.9b out of 1.2b in operating profits was from the imaging and printing group. That includes ink carts, printers, commercial printing, etc.
so you're right if you drop the hyperbolic "ink cartridges" part of your comment.
Slashdot Mirror
1) that is exactly what the article is doing, and 2) he tried appealing to the users, and only 2.5% disabled ad blocking.
This is all in the article.

No, they don't have to do any such thing. They will replace it with another copy of the same software if it's defective.
The only thing they HAVE to do is post their return policy.. which they have done.
Amazon (like every retailer) does not accept returns of opened software or video games:

slashdot does not delete comments. Click on the "Load all comments" button, and move the slider to -1... all the crap is still there.
Ok, thanks for the link...

Top Gear says the 55 miles came from Tesla engineers.

Full quote from where? His quote is from the article he linked to, and your quote sure as hell isn't in the article.
People's Democratic Dictatorship
You misunderstand the terms because of your lack of reading of communist material. Both "People's democracy" and "People's Republic" are communist terms.

enterprise-class SSDs have capacitors designed to last long enough for the SSD to finish any writes if the power fails.
Capacitors cost money though.. so this is one of the things that gets stripped out of consumer-level drives to reduce the price.
wow.. that's amazing. You had gmail before it even existed

How you got +3 with second hand information I have no idea. Google says dots are discarded. They have said so since it launched in 2004.
you're thinking of some other service
gmail launched in april 04.

but nothing like the 1M talked about in the article.
You are right.. My guess is that he mixed up the cell write endurance with the MTBF of new SSDs. The MTBF for a crucial m4 is 1.2m hours, for example.
If that isn't it, then I have no idea where he got that number from.
I own 2 840s... they are fine. If you're really concerned, samsung has a tool that will let you adjust the spare space.. so you can take a 256gb drive, set aside 20gb to use for spares as cells wear out, and use 236gb for your data.

Is 1,000 fine for most people, yes.. but you should be aware of it. I have a fileserver that writes 200gb per day.. which would kill a Samsung 840 in about 6-7 months.
