Why are docking stations a problem? We have people who use docking stations and never have any issue, taking their laptops in and out every day. Are you talking about "generic" docking stations or "business class" notebooks with dedicated docking ports?
Seems like a problem we've already solved for the small percentage of people who need ethernet on a thin laptop. What's wrong with WiFi for 99%+ of people? Especially since 802.11n let alone ac?
Who cares how big the connector on their cable modem or router is as long as the end that goes into the laptop is small?
As someone who is kind of a casual Linux system admin, I just make sure to read the Kernel Newbies on each kernel. It really helps me at least kind of keep up on what's going on.
Neither Pure or EMC market these for read only. The VNX2 we just installed uses it for FAST VP. Write's are cached on a handful of SLC based drives (2-4 disks usually), when possible, called "FAST Cache" to increase write performance. Then FAST VP moves the most used blocks to the MLC drives from the slower tiers (SAS, NL-SAS, SATA).
In its rush to gather information, the FBI blew its chance to retrieve data from the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists when it ordered his iCloud passcode to be reset shortly after the attacks.
This is very misleading. It would have only given them access to the data on the phone stored in iCloud.
What companies are you referring to? I just installed an EMC VNX2 with a tier of MLC flash, which uses FAST VP. Nimble's arrays also use MLC flash - not eMLC, MLC:
Todayâ(TM)s SSDs degrade when burdened with continual patterns of random writes. When SSDs
receive random writes, the write activity within the SSD is greater than the actual number of
writes. This write amplification dramatically increases the number of write cycles that the SSD
must support. Multi-level cell (MLC) flash is typically not suitable for traditional storage
systems because it can only endure 5,000 to 10,000 write cycles. Instead, traditional
systems must use single-level cell (SLC) SSDs and will soon begin using enterprise multi-level
cell (eMLC) SSDs. SLC and eMLC technologies can endure up to 100,000 write cycles, but
cost 4 to 6 times more than traditional MLC flash.
Nimble Storage approaches the problem of write amplification differently. The CASL file
system is optimized to aggregate a large number of random writes into sequential I/O stripes.
It only writes to flash in multiples of full-erase block width sizes. As a result, write
amplification is minimized, allowing the use of lower-cost MLC SSDs.
They never mentioned specifically turning off search suggestions. Every browser does this. Chromium on Linux does this. They never said they never specifically said they turned off search suggestions.
The Saudi's haven't "won". They've just prolonged the inevitable. Which is really good for stability in the middle east in the short term. In the long term 70% of our oil is used for transportation. If we didn't use oil for transportation we could easily produce the requisite amount of oil domestically. At the peak of the shale boom we produced nine million barrels per day. The US daily consumption is 23 million barrels.
That's a little vague, isn't it? The list exactly what settings they disabled and nowhere did they mention turning off search suggestions. So I'd like to know specifically if they disabled that feature.
Google does a lot of stuff just to promote the brand. Google is now the wonderful, friendly company who protects the weak - wouldn't you want to support them by using their search engine?
Moves to bay area with no job, takes a job making $8.15 an hour in the most expensive place in the country to live. Then signs a lease she can't afford, without roommates and only works one job.
Yeah, let's blame "the man". That's definitely the problem here.
I just finished Idea Factory which spends quite a bit of time on Claude Shannon, a really remarkable guy. Great book, lots of interesting Bell history. My only complaint is that Unix is only mentioned twice in the entire book and the second time it's referred to as a programming language. I was really hoping for more Unix history, but it tends to focus on earlier Bell and the transistor, satellite, the anti-trust suit, etc.
There's lots of ways to aggregate multiple NICs (ie LACP). It's very easy to bond multiple 10Gb ports to increase bandwidth. And I've gotten comfortably over 1GB/s over a single 10Gb NIC.
Look into 10Gb of direct attach copper SFP. Low power and low port cost (at least compared to Infiniband).
10Gb port costs have come WAY down because of all the competition in the space (read: Arista) fighting with the established players (Cisco, Juniper). You can get a 48 port SFP based Nexus 9732PQ for around $13k (with multiple quad SFP ports). You don't need optics because you just use direct attached cables. Dual port 10Gb SFP based Intel NICs are around $300 now.
Not sure what you mean by "implemented in relatively common hardware" because there are dozens of off the shelf options for NICs and switches. There's 10Gb Lan-on-motherboard, PCIe NICs, blade mezzanines, you name it. Plus inexpensive 10Gb switches from every major vendor (Cisco, Juniper, HP, Arista, etc).
Or you could clean them? Decent mechanical keyboards can be pricey. I paid around $200 for my RealForce 87U (Topre keys). Why replace it when it's so easy to clean?
Speed of light is 186 miles per millisecond, so no, not possible. Even if you could transmit it in a perfectly straight line in a vacuum you couldn't get it around the world in 1ms.
By the way, Google will do the conversion for you automatically, just search for "speed of light in miles per millisecond" or something along those lines.

Study is 18-28 year olds with self reported levels of happiness.
I don't know, is Air Force one open source software? That is the dumbest analogy I've ever seen in my life.

We'll never stop uneducated admins from attaching insecure services to public networks. The solution is BCP38 and preventing source address spoofing.

So why aren't there more MLC based flash arrays

That's not the conclusion of the study at all. This is not a study of endurance.

PC Perspective's new testing demonstrates the triple RAID-0 array having just 1/6th of the latency of a single drive.
That was with a queue depth of 16. Not exactly representative of a normal desktop user.
and I can't even choose where on my homescreen I want to place an icon.
Yes you can.
The Verge may be right, but they are totally apple fanboys who jump at any opportunity to make fun of the competition.
Doesn't make them wrong. Microsoft Phones aren't "dead" because they were never even "alive". They just "never were".

The PCIe card is functioning as an M.2 adapter. That little card is an M.2 card plugged into a slot on the PCIe card.

You don't need a weakness per say, you just need to be able to spoof the source address.
