The problem with SLC is that the price/GB is even higher than with MLC, which is already an order of magnitude above spinning drives. Yes, there are enterprise customers and a few busybodies who need/want every bit of that performance, but to bring the prices of SSDs down, they need to appeal to a mass market, and that means not being 20x or more per GB than a platter drive.
The nice thing is that SLC and MLC are pretty much the same chips, they just differ in how they're addressed. It's more a matter of who's willing to pay.
USB flash is a significantly different than an SSD's flash. The SSD has wear leveling and a different type of cell (NAND vs flash). It's apples and oranges.
Very much so. But hard drives with the shock protection are still pretty robust. I love having the SSD in my machine... it's amazing how fast everything goes. Programs start instantly, it boots so fast that I disabled hibernation, but I'm still at a paucity of space with a 256GB SSD.
The thing you're paying for with SSDs is performance. If you haven't used one, you don't know what you're missing, but if you have, you never wanna go back to things the way they were.
Ummm... slight improvements is kind of the definition of innovation. Perhaps you have innovation and invention confused?
I personally despise Apple for their corporate practices, but I can't say that they aren't innovative. Assholes, smug, anti-competitive, sure. But definitely innovative.
You buy a nice mobo because EVERYTHING else depends on it working right. Your machine will be faster, more stable, and more reliable with a proper motherboard that doesn't have quirks. You don't have to go gonzo, but never get the cheapest one you can find.
No. We need to recognize that banning drugs encourages violence. Banning guns won't work because the cat's out of the bag, and drug cartels can easily get more guns from other countries. Unless you're suggesting Team America: World Police remove guns from all countries. It's the demand for drugs in the US that funnels money into the violence in Mexico. Trying to control both is just fighting two losing wars instead of one. Did you pay attention in history to how well a two-front war worked out for Germany?
Isn't it easier to just nuke and pave? I've found it's safer, more reliable and faster to just reinstall the OS from clean media using the machine's license code.
If you could get rid of all the religious wackos who use homeschooling as a way to indoctrinate their kids without having them exposed to the outside world, there would be a lot less stigma on the homeschooled crowd.
The problem with homeschooling is it's often used by parents who want to indoctrinate their children without having influence from the outside world. Which leads to the ills the GPP mentioned. It's not always the case, though. Another problem with homeschooling is that parents may not have the time or the appropriate skills to properly teach their children everything they need to know. In specific cases, homeschooling is fine. But it should not be a standard. We still need to fix what's wrong with the public schools instead of just sticking our heads in the sand and shouting "It doesn't affect me, I'm homeschooling!". Because it actually does affect you.
The problem is that the Intel motherboards are more expensive, and they lock you into your chip "class". You can't upgrade to an i7 from an i5 in some cases.
Ehhh. They're going to post so many pictures that nobody will actually remember them. Not saying I agree with it (I'd prefer it done only after an actual conviction), but there are much bigger police abuses to worry about before getting down to publicizing mugshots
I like single-player Torchlight (well worth the $5 I paid on Steam for it, I'd even pay $10-$15). They're apparently working on a multiplayer Torchlight II. Why even worry about Diablo?
My brother owns an Audi, and he doesn't drive like a douche;)
It may just be Colorado. But when I see an Audi, I'm MUCH more likely to get cut off by them than by most any other make of vehicle. Don't get me wrong, there are assholes all over the place, but I would make a lot of money placing bets on being cut off or other asshole driving being done by Audi owners. The SUVs and trucks here, they only reliably cut you off if they're jacked up and have big tires, the aftermarket penis extension stuff.
Wait, there's a list of hundreds of informants? Because Wikileaks took a hell of a lot of time trying to redact actually materially dangerous information (vs the politically dangerous info) for there to be hundreds of informants names available still... I haven't looked myself, but stating things as fact without evidence to back them up seems a hell of a lot like you're falling for the propaganda.

I can get parts replaced on my car from non-Toyota repair shops. And that doesn't void the warranty. It most certainly is a time bomb.

Where "routinely" is "once a year" or so.

If you teach and expect kids to be stupid, they will be.

I don't have names tied to the people I take pictures of when I do that, though
The only thing they're doing right is bleeding money from the people at the bottom and funneling it into the fuel tanks of their Gulfstreams.

Yeah, but 90% of them still drive like douchebags, new or not.
Wait... you just said proper spelling was important to communication. Validating the GPP's point.
I could care less what you think
Our side is the good side because we're not executing people based on their faith. Yet.

Why are you taking on faith that there actually were thousands of names released? Have you looked at the document?
