I can definitely see the advantages of moving to solid state. But if we're talking about using flash, don't we have write speed and quantity (limited amount of writes) to worry about?
I can't wait for this type of thing to become popular. The web has revolutionized information on the global scale, no doubt. But finding information on the local scale often continues to be only slightly better than what you could get by picking up a phone book. I hope that someone (google or not) can come up with a solution to this.
I'm not so sure they've got this one right. I work with many techno-congwhatevers and the first of us to walk around with a USB drive hung about his neck was quickly labeled a nerd. Since then, those of us that use them dare not do so publicly. We carry our technology in shame for fear of being a nerd among nerds.
Kudos go out to hardware engineers for stepping up and cleaning up the dangerous wake of bad programming practices. I'm not familiar with exactly how these security features would work, but I assume they will be automatic and thus will help clean up problems in older software which carry little hope for patches.
It does bring questions to mind thought.Will software developers get lazy and no longer even attempt to adhere to good programming practices? Will it matter if they do or not?
YES, "begging the question" is most often associated with a fallacious argument in academic discussions of logic. HOWEVER, that does not mean that it cannot have other meanings.
Have you ever considered where the name for this argumentative fallacy originates? It doesn't take too much of an imaginative stretch to believe that the origins of such a label reside in the fact that a circular argument quite literally BEGS a reviewer to question the fallacy.
I'd have to disagree with at least one of your boldly pronounced SHOULDs. You should NOT be able to kill someone and you most certainly should not be able to do it without worrying about big brother.
That is precisely the point of government, you have all the freedom in the world, but that freedom comes to a screeching halt at the doormat of other people's freedoms.
You are right on one thing though, you SHOULD be able to drive that fast. Buy only if you are able to do so without endangering anyone else's life. Whether or not that is even possible is certainly open to debate.
In fact that very much is a valid debate. We have, as an aggregate, given up our freedom to drive that fast, because most interpret it as an unsafe act with great potential to hurt others.
There are clear parallels here to gun control. Avoiding a constitutional argument, what is the difference between speed limits and gun control? If you dislike one, you should dislike the other.
DUDE! Do you really think that we should KILL someone because they steal iPods? That is quite a bit excessive. If you really want to "steal" their life, lock them up for a long time!

That's the ticket!

WOW! That's a pretty exclusive group!!!
I believe he was probably talking about the upper range of commonly available laptop form-factor drives.

Not a bad idea. They can always drop the lawsuit later and get another bump in their ranking.
Anybody know what's going on here?

Man that headline would have been much cooler if Apple had chosen Cherry for its corporate name instead.

Firefox you moron!
Silly me... I opened the v5 link up in FireFox and sat there wondering why it wasn't working. DOH!!
Duh Weekly.

West was it? I'll be sending some light your way shortly... better get yourself across the street quickly though, it will only last about 14 seconds.

Anyone notice they took down his XP CD-KEY for his Dell laptop? That key is toast now!
