It is across 4 machines and over 7 years, so in total I have 5 active SSD's, each machine has had one die and one machine has had 2 die and no there is nothing wrong with powersupply in any of them. currently using Sandisk ones as I would not touch the piece of shit Samsung ones again if you paid me.
All drives are ticking time bombs, that's why you need backups if you don't want to lose data and RAID if availability is important.
Amusingly late last year I had that exact same discussion with my wife about her 12 month old Mac, explaining that all drives eventually fail. She laughed saying she has never had a problem and said I was just doing my usual anti apple thing, so I shrugged and let her have her way. She was in tears the following weak when her drive did fail and she lost a heap of photos and I got some suspicious looks wondering if somehow I had something to do with it. I avoided the "I told you so" line and simply got the drive replaced and showed her how to backup to my RAID backed storage server which also does scheduled backups.
lucky you. I have had multiple failures. 1 Sandisk, 1 Intel and 3 fucking Samsung EVO's (which I will never buy again). never tried OCZ but hard to imagine they are worse than Samsung and of course I have backups.
Just like already happened with streaming audio, the people that actually give a shit about stuff like audio/visual quality and lag will be in the definite minority, and they will be increasingly marginalized until there are so few of us left, they can just stop supporting us without any impact to their profits.
The sheeple consumers that will buy into streaming games are probably not the people that ever had a top-end PC so won't even know or care what they are missing, and will just appreciate the convenience of not needing a PC/console at all.
Then the next generation will grow up just thinking that the low-res lossy graphics and lag are as good as it can ever get, and no doubt nVidia/AMD will come out with a whole new range of products just to improve the graphics and lag of streaming games, probably by defining/using a whole new protocol that will still run the game remotely (so games companies can avoid giving consumers any opportunity to pirate the games) but the graphics will be rendered locally. And here we go round the equivalent of the console loop again with more opportunity for the companies to sell new hardware.
you are comparing apples and oranges. streaming games has a noticeable detrimental effect on the quality of the experience, for most people the difference in quality between streaming audio and high quality high bitrate local copies is ZERO as they don't have the hardware to get the benefit. With gaming though users notice even the smallest of input lag and choppy and blurry resolution is noticeable even to someone that doesn't understand the difference while playing on exactly the same hardware.
streaming games SUCK, the latency, resolution sacrifices and bandwidth requirements make all but the simplest games problematic. This turd needs to be left on the PS where it belongs.
maybe in the USA? it is certainly being reported all over the world and has spent many days on every news broadcast and the front page of every news site.
No they weren't. The cut down cheap version of XP that came with many netbooks was limited to 2GB and hence a lot of the motherboards were also limited. however as long as the motherboard supported more you could put in more.
Watering in day time causes damage to the crops from burning and we are talking queensland, you would get massive water loss from evaporation making a precious resource even more scant.
Coding standards documentation, Peer review of their code and gated checkins.

If you decide to manipulate the bitcoin market with a 100 million dollars it is possible to do it without any preventative measures from the SEC
100 million$$ would be a tiny fraction of the Bitcoin market's daily trading volume... So how do you propose that would be possible to do, anyways? Maybe a 100 million $$-costing smear campain would do it
you will need to go through an exchange and be identifiable and open to prosecution by the SEC.
To trade a significant amount of Bitcoin, you most likely will have to identify yourself as well. Just like some countries control stocks, basically all countries have controls on their currency and their banks, And you don't move $100 million into a Bitcoin exchange without being noticed.
Not necessarily with stocks. Particularly with international stocks, they may not be listed on an Exchange identifiable to the SEC.
ETFs invest in those too. Some options buy options on stocks instead, which are even more manipulatable.
Price manipulation typically works by generating internet spam.... Pump and Dump, but plenty of people who sold the stock as it went up are not involved with the manipulation, so it's not inherently making the foul actors identifiable.
LOL ummm no, the entire value of all bitcoins in existence at the moment is worth less than 20 billion. a 100 million dollar would create a massive market swing and be great for pump and dump type scenarios when linked to a traded stock
If you buy and sell ordinary stock to manipulate the market you will need to go through an exchange and be identifiable and open to prosecution by the SEC. If you decide to manipulate the bitcoin market with a 100 million dollars it is possible to do it without any preventative measures from the SEC or means to prosecute.
I don't like bitcoin but this is hardly a setback for it. The SEC is extremely strict on listed companies from financial reporting all the way down to fraud protection. At the moment it is too easy for any individual or group of individuals with means to manipulate the market.
I am a PC gamer but your comparison is moronic. Most people have PC's with graphics capabilities that even last gen consoles can keep up with. according to last months Steam Hardware results more than 65% of people still only have machines with graphics cards with 2GB of less of VRAM. People also don't generally buy a console for the latest and greatest in grpahics, if they want that they spend 2-4 grand on a PC. consoles are fast to setup, predictable experiences for users and provide a generic platform that developers can target and hence better leverage the hardware. I will stick with my PC but I can certainly see the value in consoles for many people.
"don't expect details to pop up any time soon", LOL anyone else smell the bullshit here. basically with a few days of this being available you will see published tear downs of it and proposals to work around it.
Free while I am sure factors in it for a lot, there is also a shitload of us who would happily pay for access to a large legal library, using TPB etc is a convenience because I refuse to hunt from service to service to find what I want. hell Netflix could more than double the charge and I would pay for it if they provided an extensive library that wasn't region restricted.
Despite Netflix and Amazon? They operate more and more the same way the rest of the industry operates, Netflix locks down content by region giving many regions only a tiny library and I am sure Amazon would do the same if they actually had a decent service to lock down. Those 2 have the abilities to lead the way and Netflix for a while even seemed to be trying but now they are just part of the problem.
no that just means your algorithm and rules were too easy to predict. a single or even multiple site passwords if you are smart about it should not provide anywhere near enough information to predict another site. It is very easy to remember a lot of simple rules that can create complex and relatively unpredictable passwords (unless they have access to a great many of your passwords.)
the fact intel didn't race to compete price wise and instead just released what they had been keeping back really says they didn't panic and had no reason too. I really want to see AMD push them but history shows everytime they get close Intel just spends a little more or pulls out of the closet the next chip they have been holding back while they milk the current one for all its worth. It isn't good enough for AMD to catch up to current stuff, they need to leapfrog.
only for very short periods of time where Intel was caught mid cycle so AMD got 6-12 months to get some market. Not sure they really saw it as a significant threat though as Intel would have been well aware of what they had in the pipeline for the next 3-5 years.
Windows Server DOES NOT boot the GUI first at all, in fact you don't even need to install a GUI and most cloud infrastructure would be running without the GUI.
Parachutes would not work either, despite what the movies may show you can't just jump out of an A380 or a Dreamliner or most modern jets.They would require major redesigns and huge decreases in airspeed and height before you jumped. It can work for smaller, lower and slower flying planes but their are so many problems with this for a large airlines. besides which you are already far more likely to die driving to the airport than in an actual plane crash anyway.
We pay a lot of money for tickets lol, you have got to be fucking kidding me . If they fitted parachutes and the ejection seats and capabilities to make that work the weight and extra cost would mean you would not be able to afford a ticket, Add at least 1 Zero to your ticket cost, probably more.
