Notice that all the problems happened at around the same time. It's not a constant failure rate.
The problem caused a massive amount of publicity and public awareness. Toyota drivers would most likely see problems where before they'd just shrug and carry on. I bet you'd see a similar effect for any manufacturer if you could create a suitable media storm.
What we need is more people like cdbaby.com which tell you up front how much an artist is going to get paid for each album (at least $6) and pays them weekly.
The bandwidth needed to supply an integrated graphics card is about 0.00001% of what's available in a modern PC. You're just not going to notice it.
Plus... integrated undergoes an awful lot of testing. eg. Intel drivers are always rock solid, unlike some 'high end' cards I've bought where I had to wait a couple of months before I could even put it in the machine.
The PDFs are machine generated. I ran the same program using a copy of Moby Dick and the Microsoft EULA, it produced damning evidence that the programmers had copied them word for word into their source code.
ZFS isn't *essential* to Apple so why would they fight a patent battle in court? There's plenty of other file systems in the sea.
A $100 graphics card will beat this...

OnLive Latency Tested
·
· Score: 2, Informative
No fast action game will work with that latency - the graphics might be smooth but the input response is like playing at five frames per second.
There'll be some games which work in this format but they won't be first person shooters or driving games - think flash games but multiplayer and in 3D.
Is it worth subscribing and being nickle-and-dimed for every minute you're on there instead of playing all the free flash games on the web? That's what they're betting the company on.
I don't know anything about your system and how much stuff you've got installed so I can't make garantees.
All I can say is it will boot a lot faster with an SSD then a hard disk. My new Windows 7 setup takes about as long showing the BIOS junk as it does to start Windows.
Windows boots refreshingly quick, but was that worth the extra price?
Ummm...this was my point (I think), ie. you can have that speedup with a small/cheap SSD.
A $100 SSD represents immense value for money as a performance upgrade. It makes your whole system more snappy. Good luck getting that much extra performance from a CPU upgrade or whatever.
The test is very unfair on small SSDs like the Intel X25-V because it doesn't look at overall price, only $/Gb. Hardly anybody is going to install a small SSD as the only drive in a machine. Most people would combine them with a big hard disk so the final score would be a blend of the scores for the SSD and the second hard disk.
eg. I just rebuilt my machine with an X25-V for the OS and applications. The X25-V gives the machine amazing boot up times and near-instant application load times - way faster then my old Velociraptor. As an overall performance enhancement it's a complete no-brainer for $110.
For the price of a big SSD you can probably get an X25-V (boot drive) plus a 300Gb Velociraptor (video editing and/or your hardcore games) plus a 1.5Tb HDD (for your torrentz and AVIs). Beat that for price/performance!

So let's teach the ignorant to fight the patents/ownership laws, not the GM foods.
They'll just put up some bikini-clad bimbo with a geek-oriented sales pitch ... and you'll buy.

Source is ok ... but can you trust your compiler?
Dinosaurs laid eggs - we've found lots of them.
Chickens evolved from dinosaurs, i.e. came after them.
The rest is left as an exercise for the reader.
I bought an SD card the other day. On the invoice it listed the RIAA tax separately, it's the first time I've seen that done.
If I've paid in advance for the pirated music I'm supposedly going to put on it, I might as well go ahead and do so, right?
I think the writer was trying to convey a square yard, which is about the same as a square meter.
Maybe.
The 'somewhere' is usually a place where cops can't (or don't) do that.

But what on earth kind of argument is that? Electric cars wont be a problem coz plasma TVs weren't.... How absurd.
Yep. If everybody suddenly went out and bought a plasma TV for every room then plasma TVs would be a problem.
Is there a compelling reason for using 64 bits...? If not, stick with the printers.

Unsupervised 'play' is far too dangerous for little snowflake. Think of the lawsuits.

It's very fast at booting....but have you tried hibernate mode on your hard disk? It should be similar.
Leaving it on 24/7 seems like an awful waste of energy and extra CO2 production just because you don't think you have 30 seconds a day.

Mod parent up.
If you're running a critical database server you could try smaller SSDs in RAID - about the same cost per Gb as a big SSD but you get the redundancy.
