I'd love to see a language as (obviously) sleazy and duplicitous as Washington/Madison Avenue English. Something completely content-free, where the real meaning is 180 degrees out of phase to what's being said.
You haven't seen the presidential debates yet, have you?
Of course it's an excellent ad hominem - you provided all the materials needed to justify it. So - feeling like replying 10 x more is going to make any difference?
Your claim was that the FBI had better stats - despite the fact that the FBI itself says otherwise. Do you really want to continue beating your dead horse?
Of course my original post was pointless. The fact that you seem compelled to reply to it, not once, but twice, does make another point, though... about you:-)
Maybe they're into recycling old wooden TV / Raido / Turntable combo cabinets:
The thrust of the design concept is informed by, and hopefully serves as homage to, the vintage HiFi designs
In other words, yet another dust collector. On the plus side - nobody is going to steal it, and if you use it on the sidewalk downtown and leave an empty paper coffee cup beside you, you might collect some spare change.
Yes, we DO know that the most notorious department that do not self-report. That's why the guardian had people on the ground getting the real stories. So quit making up stuff. And no, the guardian wasn't "soliciting tips." They went through every news report, even those from hick towns to find shootings, including those not reported to the FBI. And the decision not to report was not done on a case-by-case basis - ever. You obviously have done zero research, And no, I didn't do a "quick search" of the Guardian web site - this story has been going on for a while, with multiple reports.
In short, you don't know what you're talking about. And you continue to not know what you're talking about, because you're either trolling or (perhaps willfully) stupid. There is no third option:-)
2016 is Year of the Linux Desktop!!! You heard it here first.
Not going to happen. Significantly, these Dell laptops (that's what they offer) are used for Software-as-a-Service. In other words, web apps. So why buy this when you can get a Chromebook if all you're using is the web?
Also, you're leasing the laptop for 1 to 3 years, payable in annual chunks. No price given, so good luck with that.
This will not work - even if it gets SBA 8(a) minority-owned business grants. And of course, as soon as someone finds that they can't run any windows programs....
No, manufacturers "confidence" is pure marketing. And your mention of Seagate, who bought the Maxtor production lines and used them to produce "Seagate" drives with seriously fake MTBF numbers, makes this all the more funny.
Car manufacturers will drive a test vehicle real distances, not "estimated", because if their products failed at the rate of hard drives, they'd be out of business. And offering a refurbished drive in place of a brand new DOA (Seagate's done this to me 4 times) is also crap. Imagine doing THAT with a new car that was a lemon.
The most notorious departments are the ones that are NOT going to self report to the fbi. Therefore, the FBI figures are badly skewed because of self-selection bias. The Counted, on the other hand used tons of volunteers to check up on every police shooting. You shouldn't be the the one lecturing on ignorance of statistics without first verifying in detail how it was done. This technique yielded much higher figures, not because of a wrong implementation, but because the stats you and the FBI use collected in a totally invalid way, rendering their figures worse than useless.
The latest versions, however, are distributed through drive-by download techniques, predominantly when visiting porn websites.

Porn. Well, you wanted to see people getting f*cked, didn't you? Now take a selfie:-)
Why bother saving the $150k salary of pilots when your fuel costs per flight (1 gallon per second) are so high? Why not focus on saving lives during plane equipment failure instead?
MTBF means nothing, because of the realy stupid way it's calculated, ignoring the real world. Drive specs are based on accelerated life testing. A population of 1000 or so drives are run flat out at a high temperature for about 30 days. MTBF is calculated from that. It's a WAG more than anything else.
Mean time between failure is not representative of real life experience. Ever. Also, the below-atmosphere internal pressure compared to stp and lower density of the gas makes head crashes a bigger problem than before. That's why you don't run hard disks in a vacuum - they wouldn't work.
You really don't get it. Thee is NO requirement to report police murders to the FBI, which is why the Guardian has better, and more complete, stats. There was no self-selection. They combed through as many reports of police shootings as they could find, and talked to witnesses. Also, the Guardian investigation shows that many police departments work hand-in-hand with the prosecutor to rubber-stamp shootings as justified, especially in small communities.

Do you think that the tablets and computers used in schools today are really used for education, as opposed to "education".
There - fixed that for you.
The Apache license has fewer requirements than the GPL. That's why it's called a permissive license.

Any post that starts with "by Anonymous Coward" is generally equally unoriginal and pointless. The above reply is a good example.

In 20 years planes won't need a pilot.
So mis-train them. It's not like management would know the difference.

Sealing helium in ANYTHING for a significant amount of time is pretty much impossible. Helium is a monatomic gas. These drives will leak.
