If I purchased a bottle of water then I'm doing it at a time when I would have otherwise purchased a coke. same story, but corn syrup gets added in as well, which means that corn gets grown, so a tree doesn't grow...
I can't think of an instance where they have shown the anti-consumer mentality that Apple has over the last decade.
Have you installed windows or office recently? When I install OS X, there is no licensing BS, just installs and runs. I agree with you that they company Apple is hyped to be is really bad though--just awful.
You are thinking about just the drive as described, but it is part of a system. How long will the controller in the drive last? How will it fail? Will my controller on the mobo successfully alert me to the crash, will it handle it well? When the drive gets old, will the wear leveling slow the drive to a crawl? You are also assuming that the advertising literature is right, a risky business.
Look, I'm not saying that you are definitively wrong, only that you might be wrong in so many different ways that those who stick with the tried and true are often wise to do so. Your point has to be that you are 100% sure you are right, that's a pretty difficult standard.
That criticism makes sense for a netbook drive where when it dies you just replace it and no need to backup--the email are already on IMAP and everything else was just caches. But for places where you really care about your data then there are all sorts of other questions: how does it crash? Does it crash in such a way that the RAID you are using keeps its integrity?
In general, conservatives (in the sense of not wanting to change) are right to be conservative because of the long arm of the law of unintended consequences. People who try new things can end up with better results if things go as planed. But there are many more ways for things to go not as planed and for the project to crash and burn--leaving you at square one with nothing to show but lots of money/time spent on a cinder.
The only thing you are going to trust is your own trial. If SSD might make sense for you, then why do you not to have a trial going now? Throw one in a mirror drive and use a less than fully partitioned HDD.
If SSD isn't a good idea for you, then reliability isn't really your issue and you will never be satisfied.
According to DOE, it takes 17% more energy to make diesel from oil than gasoline. The greener the formulation (in terms of tailpipe emissions), the more energy it takes to make it.
As for biofules, I'd rather see us use methanol which can be produced form grasses that replenish the ground they are planted on and trap substantial carbon in the ground at production time.
sorry, the link also says, "The California Air Resources Board has concluded that diesel soot is responsible for 70% of the state's risk of cancer from airborne toxics." So, yes California has considered this issue specifically.
Diesel is much cleaner than it was, but it is still no gas. link. Basically, you get more total suspended particulate (TSP) from diesel, and we know that TSP is associated with increased infant mortality, and probably many other bad things for everyone else.
The link also says that it take 20% more energy to produce diesel (I think this is my 20% more carbon figure).
What makes you think diesel is green? There is 20% more carbon in a galon, so your emissions are not as low as you might think comparing MPG to MPG. Once you take that into account, few diesels are even as good as a corolla (which is almost as good as a Prius).
The/. editors have infinite mod points and can add more than 1 to a comment. Usually when I see a way out of bounds mod like this that then gets corrected back to reality I wonder if the editor was just being a tool. But since we can't see editor mods separately so you never do know, maybe early birds are just different moderators than late comers.
No, I think the $500 offered by google is insulting because it's like offering some $10 to clean your house when it would cost them more than that to drive there. Interestingly, people don't seem to mind that much when the price is like $1 million, i.e. DARPA has given prizes of this size and the winner has spent six times that (not to mention all the looser) but I think if DARPA didn't want to offer the $1 million, they would be better off offering nothing than, i.e. $50, because the nothing suggests that it was a difficult prize to price, or that winning it was its own substantial reward, while $50 suggests that the prize wasn't worth that much--it would be an insult to the winner.
No, Charlie Miller talks about much larger payouts from MS. He said, "I was shocked when I saw someone sign up to go after IE 8. You can get paid a lot more than $5,000 for one of those bugs. I’ve talked to a lot of smart, knowledgeable people and no one knows exactly how he did it. He could easily get $50,000 for that vulnerability. I’d say $50,000 is a low-end price point." here.
No, there was no Thorium in the Thorium reactor. The design was a reactor with Thorium all around (in a "blanket) that would be activated to a useful fuel, but the expense of the blanket meant they didn't get built.
Two of these were already being done back them. Specifically, "Run a database larger than a few megs." use the hard drive. Not really sure how memory changed this, probably mostly for huge merges.
And video editing was happening on the Amegia Video Toaster, of course the videos were analog.
Makes the most sense when you are trying to get a location and the one you picked isn't working, in all other cases, you'd probably rather just pay less for your phone.
But who knows, maybe there are those out there would really want the pants and suspenders approach to location, I wonder if there is a provider who offers both?
Let me give you some translations to help unwhoosh you.
I had a Verizon phone with GPS but I could not get the data out, or you could say that I had no access to it.
Also, some cell companies (such as AT&T) use the technology you mention, others do not have the capacity and instead use GPS. They were given the option, and they went various ways. Both have drawbacks: what if GPS doesn't have a signal? OR: What if you can only see one or two towers?
antibodies specific to the site where the virus binds to cells it infects.
so it probably does morph there, but then it doesn't go anywhere (or successfully infect future cells). Their device then blocks the site so that the virus can't attack immune cells. Seems difficult to get around... but they say 10% of the existing HIV already has... so yeah, it can.
It is also worth pointing out that The New Yorker found the Kindle II's low contrast made it too difficult to read. In the review, the author ends up using it to buy books and then reads them on his iPhone even though he obviously wished there was a larger iPhone like device for reading books (obviously, pre iPad).
You have to wonder, are these screens higher contrast or the same dark gray on light gray?
That's pretty much the system that we have used. It's just that you and I weren't here at the beginning, so we don't recall the unregulated time (pre Revolution). There is always disagreement about when there is abuse too. Is MS Word's file format abuse? Europe thought so, the US didn't. Are Apple's current tactics abuse? Slashdot thinks so, but the USG does not. Obviously Europe is weighing this right now.
illegal is about as regulated as you get. Just like how you can sell drugs illegally, you can also sell a car illegally, so every market can have a illegal side market if the original market is over regulated. In the case of drugs, the regular market is definitely over regulated for both suppliers and consumers tastes.
Those are among the causes of the crisis (i.e. a price ceiling in the retail but not wholesale market), but the market remained sufficiently simple to work. In the case, work for energy sellers. The rest of that stuff would just contribute to an already unstable market.

BTW, please do tell how that trial works out.
I don't understand, how many substances can they think are responsible for 70% of the risk? Or were you intending to talk past me.

Do you mean besides Charlie Miller frequent pwn2own winner? He uses fuzzers and source code, and even reverse engineers binaries.

Use a GUI with more than 1 or 4 bit color?

Wait, you really don't understand? The idea is to ship something that will work. Everything else is just a waste of time.
