He makes the mistake of assuming a complete erase each cycle of full disk. In reality, that sort of runaway process would fill the disk and then start erasing small parts to make room for more data. If 1K of space is made each time the disk if full then that actual cycle would be 1 x 64GB plus 2m x 1K.
Plug/those/ figures in and it turns out the disk will be trash within 20 minutes
Codecs are executables - they're basically DLL's with specific calls exported to suit the multimedia subsystem.
Windows Media Player also downloads codecs automatically if you let it, so all the bad guys need to do is make sure Windows knows where their codec is located then give you a video that will require it. Windows will then toddle off and run the malware completely automatically.
I think the real story is that flamefests online tend to get much further out of hand becuase it's easy to be macho in front of a screen - it's not going to travel 70 miles to bop you on the nose, right? This/is/ an Internet story because a face-to-face chat wouldn't've got so blown up without one side or the other moderating what they're saying. Just consider some of the aggressive insults aimed at quite innocuous posts here on slashdot, for example.
Try www.backup4all.com - it will do various types of backups, but specific to your problem it'll do a copy backup and spread it across however much media it needs. It will even backup open files using the shadow copy facility built into XP.
The gate will only switch faster for the same, or less, current if the gate capacitance is decreased - i.e. you make the device physically smaller. If the capacitance stays the same then you must bung in current faster to achieve faster switching. Faster switching may reduce the power cycle (time), but on its own it doesn't reduce the power requirements.

Y'all assume that world+dog are hip to your techy ways. The guy is 78 or so and for probably twice your lifetime he's done things a non-computerish way. Don't you think it's a bit of an ego trip to pop up and insist that everyone now does things your way? We're the newcomers, it's up to us to fit in with everyone else.
I'll agree that there's no universal standard, but the convention is:
Actually, the convention used to be B for bits since datasheets were typed and everything was in caps. Then some techy wannabe used b because it made sense to him (and no-one else in the know) and off it went the wrong way, just like loads of other stuff: component side PCB tracks were blue and solder side red, for instance, but now everyone uses the reverse because some git who thought he knew the convention, but didn't.
Not long after that the datasheets switched to D instead and we left all you know-it-alls to your own devices:)
You mean like "!wut" in an IRC channel full of Unreal Tournament players gets back a list of who's playing what maps on which servers? Double-click a response (a URL starting unreal://...) and you join the game. UT's been out since at least 1999, which precedes this patents filing date by 2 years.

Not forgetting that TomTom were forced to pay damages for ignoring the GPL. They were certainly not the good guys in this kind of scenario.

Despair Inc got the trademark on the frownie, something completely different to a patent.

...10 years down the line. In 1996, the use of a proxy server to change data to suit the target device would have been very innovative.
