I don't need to i have all the experience i need to make the claim. I work in pretty extreme conditions and the CF based devices we use in our trucks fail 10% of the time over 12 months, vs our laptop which get lugged around in the same conditions and don't fail any more or less.
your assumptions are all flawed because you assume the best case scenario for everything.
I on the other hand am basing my assumptions on real world experiences working with industrial equipment that uses CF cards for hard drives in mobile fleet equipment.
in the real world i've seen a 10% failure rate on CF cards (which are tougher then SSD's i might add) over 12 months WITHOUT any write action at all.
SSD's have a short life span due to cell memory, and they aren't immune to shocks damaging them. laptop hd's will take all kinds of poundings, only a direct solid hit during a r/w would possibly damage them
burning the hydrogen is very efficent, your right about compressing it for transport though.
ideally we will have a break through in battery tech in the next 20 years and we can just generate the electricity using large hydro farms.
as it stands, none of these renewable fuel sources cut the mustard, but keep at it people i'm sure one of you will have success.
Please try to keep stupid statements like "The market was not punishing Oracle for the unpatched zero-day vulnerability (public exploit available) that the company won't patch until Jan. 15." out of the summaries. the market is NOT a technical forum, so unless this exploit can demonstrate some kind of loss for oracle, they have no reason to "punish"
sued for just leaving to work for a competitor? granted taking a client list or clients with them isn't right, but just leaving to work for someone else should be ok. employment is a competitive industry like any other and so shouldn't be restricted by monopolising peoples opertunities.
exactly right, and this is sadly the reason many great idea's never get to see the light of day.
it's always the employee's with everything to lose and nothing to gain that have these ideas, but don't tell their employer because they won't be rewarded for sticking their neck out and leaving and going it alone runs the risk of being sued, but also means they don't have the backing of an established company to get the idea off the ground.
profit sharing is the way of the future, just as the CEO gets a bonus when shares reach a certain level, so should employee's if big business ever wants their workers to take their shareholders seriously.
i get a production bonus in my job, which is set at REASONABLE levels. i can make up to an extra $1000 a month through this, but the average is around $500. it makes everyone i work with take the companys productivity more seriously.
open your eyes and you might see that ALL THROUGH OUT HISTORY mass civil disobedience has been the most effective method of social and political change there is.
I think it is required at this point to alter the madness that is current IP law.
I'd line up to give him a punch in the face for putting flash based ads on/. for sure.
The thing is, advertising doesn't HAVE to be painful. I understand you have to get the word out some how, but do websites need to run a 400x400 flash ad with music right over the top of what i'm trying to read? I know i refuse to purchase anything from the companys these kinds of advert represent.
With the advent of PVR's and increasingly sofisticated adblocking software as well as do not call lists, there is a growing trend that people are sick to death of all the advertising in their lives.
the world is fucking saturated in the stuff, and something has to give.
I know i'm personally sick to death of mobile phone dating scams and panty liner ads being marketed to me on TV.
err, what crack are you smoking? we try get every bit of gear up into space we can with every launch. If we didn't have the abilities of the shuttle ISS would not exist. each mission to the ISS requires taking tons of gear, a rocket wouldn't cut it.
we don't make little runs back and forth, it's not economical at all even with cheap ass russian rockets.
so fucking what? all this proves is that younger generations don't have the requirement of remmebering phone numbers. it doesn't prove they aren't capable.
i bet if you asked the under 30's to recite some website addresses they would do far better then the over 50's. it's all completely our of context.
yeah wow people aren't spending money on crap they don't need - call in the government the economy will crash if more people don't buy britany spears new single.
your post must be the most retarded in the history of/.

yet again a clueless comment, i just added you to the list of people i'm smarter than.

thats nice but we aren't talking about a CF card we are talking about a SSD, which has more electronics in it which can flex and malfunction

they seriously are not that much tougher then a laptop hd.

one mans freedom fighter and all that...
bugs etc are just a part of doing business in the software world. if the market punished every vendor with a bug we wouldn't have an industry
never let facts or logic get in the way of bashing a big company!

this is why i prefer my elitest hangouts.

it's called checks and balances people, clearly this guy was dropped on his head as a baby.

this was only on here a few days ago, nice going ZONK

yeah wow so the rocket is cheaper... pity it carries a fraction of the shuttles payload

it's simply not true, almost every major medical advance has been tested or researched on animals like mice first.
the simple fact is mammals bodies all work in very similar ways. if you were to tell me you tested this on a FISH brain i might be more scpectical.

huh, you think gimp has a better ui? give me a fucking break it's a nightmare
