I can't find an apples-to-apples comparison in this test.
If they wanted to compare the best laptop mechanical drive to the best laptop drive (price no object), why didn't they use an MTron or Memoright drive (> 100MB/sec sustained read AND write)?
If they wanted to compare the best laptop mechanical drive to the cheapest SSD drive, why didn't they use a Transcend drive ( $200)?
Spelling, grammar, and colloquial usages that don't match up with their strict definition - all fine - if they are unambiguous.
I nitpick the reckless use of "exponential" because it implies a certain level of growth or complexity that may overstate or understate reality, making it difficult to appreciate or consider fairly the magnitude of the matter being discussed.
By way of contrast, many people casually use big-O notation when it would be more precise to use theta notation to describe asymptotic growth, but one can usually discern what was meant even without much context.
But when a word like "exponential" is abused, you don't immediately know what you're dealing with.
Any amount of noise you add can simply be dealt with by including the stego data more than once or using checksums or whatever
Yes, but how to do this in real-time in a cryptographically secure manner is the subject of much ongoing research.
The feeling in the research community at the moment is that efficient stego-redundancy requires a working database of discovered steganographic synonyms, i.e. a stegosaurus.
OK, but "exponential" pretty much always means "exponential" and is never a reasonable synonym for quadratic, geometric, superexponential, or anything growing non-exponentially.
Intellectually lazy or uninformed people frequently use "exponential" to mean "growing more quickly than my operative mathematics skill can bound".

What do you mean impossible?
If you read the article, the Nazi's RFID tags are clearly shaped like swastikas, duh.
Muscles don't matter very much if you don't have the neurological conditioning to make use of them.
It would be like having a 1000W amplifier with incorrectly set gain or an uncontrolled input voltage.
Opto-isolation FTW
Check the message headers. Probably, the envelope recipient (SMTP RCPT To) was your account and the header "To:" was the address you don't own.
My only interest in Google Browser Sync in FF3 is bringing up GBS long enough to get my browser state into Weave.
Screw you, Google.

In this day and age it's sad to see that anti-sharkitism is still alive and well.
AVG = Alotta VaGina?
Who the kid will become? You mean like Steven Spielberg?
He may be filming, but you sir are projecting.
Is that because you are retaining your own so vigorously?
This is an interesting legal situation in that, technically, both the crime and its punishment could be called a "salami attack".
This is absolutely news.
Finally, Slashdot has the highly redundant replicated infrastructure worthy of their highly redundant, replicated article topics.
Yuck, the operative word being "disposal".
You must keep Logitech in business!

Agreed.
If they want an expert opinion on flow management, they really need to seek out Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest.

Which is why I cook popcorn in a 10 kilowatt microwave oven for 5 seconds.
That's (note spelling) called SpeedStep and it's been a feature of Intel x86 processors since before Ubuntu was a gleam in Debian's eye.
Educating, not hating.
"Do they want people to think their processors overheat and are loud and suck?"
Which people would those be? The ones whose PCs spend 99% of their time idle sitting in Microsoft Word, a browser, or running screen savers?
Or the rest of the population, for whom a load-related failure would be conveniently indistinguishable from a "defective unit in the wild"?
Unfortunately the "Interesting" moderation is not finest grain.
There are at least two subtypes of interesting:
- Interesting to someone with joint degrees in math and computer science
- Interesting to someone who has smoked two joints
Any thread involving Rubik's cube is going to pull both, sorry.
Not so fast.
Nforce 3 (the AMD equivalent to Intel Grantsdale a.k.a. 915) was also labeled "Vista Capable".
So AMD was probably an equal beneficiary of the marketing "favor".

If the book being reviewed did a decent job at "explaining the main idea" in chapter order, why wouldn't you expect a review to do the same?
"orientated" is not considered proper usage.
The correct word is "Asiantated".
