  1. A better write up at anandtech on Intel Updates SSDs, Supports TRIM, Faster Writes · · Score: 5, Informative
  2. Engine maintance costs. on MIT and NASA Designing Silent Aircraft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Enclosed engines? That is not going to be as easy to maintain as the 'drop off' ones that currently sit under the wing.

  3. Re:Failures? What are you talking about? on Lawsuit Claims Nvidia Execs Concealed Serious Flaw · · Score: 1

    Thermal cycles can be more damaging than just long term use. The stress is built up in changes and hot spots. If you laptop has always been on the heat should be nice and even.

  4. Re:Wait... what!? on Computer With UK Bank Customer Data Sold On eBay · · Score: 1

    Apparently they were send for destruction and then a worker at the shredder place stole them to sell on e-bay.

  5. Full CGI movie? on Leaping the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1
    So to make a CGI film all you have to do is shoot the whole thing live action an then render it all?

    Is this not somehow missing the point?

  6. UPS - more than just a backup. on Why Power Failures Can Always Lead To Data Loss · · Score: 4, Informative
    UPS smooths out all those nasty spikes as well as stopping your servers from going down to a 1 second power cut.

    UPS is more than just saving your data.

  7. VPN and remote working on Securing Your Notebook Against US Customs · · Score: 1

    Simply have no data on your laptop and do all your work remotely via an encrypted internet link!

    Steal you mean!

  9. Re:5watt savings is "green" ??? sheesh on Western Digital Touts New 'Green' Drives · · Score: 1

    Let me know when they save 50watts.
    How much savings for a static memory drive? Why don't you look at how much the drive uses in total! Then 5 watts is a significant saving.
  10. Epic Fail! on UK Government Loses 15 Million Private Records · · Score: 1
    From the 'Have your say' pages at news.bbc.co.uk

    "25million times the black market value of each bank detail of ~£100 is a total value of ~£2.5Bn! This should be transported in an encrypted hard disk locked in a safe that is chained to the Chairman of the HMRC in a security truck with an armed escort! Unbelievably it was send as a couple of unencrypted disks by normal mail. I am at a loss as to how HUGE a security breach this is!

    AntiCitzen One, City17"

    All I can say is Epic Fail!

  11. Re:Of course on UK Government Loses 15 Million Private Records · · Score: 1

    Search engines find the url and then index the contents these can then be found using said engine.

  14. Re:Vista security is.. on Vista Security — Too Little Too Late · · Score: 1

    Unless you live in south korea. They use ActiveX on almost every webpage!

  15. Submariners on Breakdown Forces New Look At Mars Mission Sexuality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They only need to look as far as the crew on a submarine to see what makeup can last a year. AFIK they are all male crew.

  16. Also being discussed at the BBC on Windows Vista Launches To Mixed Reactions · · Score: 1
  17. Re:You heard it wrong on Seventh Harry Potter Book Named · · Score: 1

    But JK Rowling is writing for an audience of children. Let's be fair.

    Phillip Pullman also writes for children however is in my opinion able to write creatively.

  18. Re:Don't do what china does on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 1

    For 'are both' read 'also' :)

  19. Re:Don't do what china does on Judge Says U.S. Money Violates Rights of the Blind · · Score: 2, Informative

    China are hardly alone here! For example Euros and Pounds Stirling are both use different sizes for different amounts.

  20. H2G2? Does anyone have the quote? on Why Vista Took So Long · · Score: 1

    About the development of the 'Off switch' for the guide! I can not be the only person who immediately thought of that!

  22. Wiring Racks !! on How a Wiring Rack Should Look · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yes?

  23. Switching on Intel Announces Lasers On a Chip · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think this will be of more use to optical switching - if you have the ability to switch and route on your fibernetwork without changing from optical to electrical and back again you can switch much faster and more efficiently.

  24. UK has far higher fuel prices! on Much Ado About Gas Prices · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Come over here to sunny Britan and experence some real 'gas' prices!

  25. Re:CIA to the rescue on Spamhaus to Ignore $11.7M Judgement · · Score: 1

    Why would spamhause (who make lists to block spam) be responsible for spam?
