No, even with MAMR they'll still need to evacuate the drive case and fill it with helium because you can't risk water molecules in the enclosure attenuating the microwave emissions from the heads and causing bad data writes.
"There are various other issues why 5-1/4â donâ(TM)t work, it has to do with physics."
No, it has to do with material construction. We've got plenty of materials now days that could allow a 5 1/4" platter to rotate at 10K RPM without failing. My 6" trim saw runs faster than that with a less-than-1mm thick blade.
We have a law called the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act and within it are anti-tying provisions meant to stop exactly this kind of bullshit in the first place.
"uh... more "CPU" (sockets) makes no sense. The world can pretty much run virtualized CPUs."
And in the server space, more sockets means more CPUs means more virtualized CPUs means more money potential.
In before Intel or AMD makes a single-core mega-threaded processor to get around this bullshit licensing and try to make some extra cash off of this bit of a blunder.
"Your car is not made out of typical solar cells, and putting typical solar cells on it would make it look like a lego car."
Uhh, yea, no. You do know we live in the age of modular body components, yes? There are four companies I know of which produce aftermarket solar cell body panels, one's literally 18 miles down the road from me. They match the original contours and everything, with NO penalty. Oh, and I forgot the extra capacity of solar on the door panels, so let's add another kW total potential, there.
"When it's cheap and easy to put some kind of PV layer on your car that doesn't impact crashworthiness or pedestrian safety, then you will see it happen."
As fucking often as you're on Slashdot I'd have sworn you'd have at least remembered Nanosolar with it's spray-on PV tech.
"Rock crushers just randomly smash rocks into one another repeatedly until they break. There's not much control over where they break, or how they break, or what the edges are like, or how they're shaped."
Many rocks and minerals have these things called lines of cleavage. Back to school for you, child.
I do but its only use is as a 32" 1080p gaming monitor. I haven't watched TV in 20 years. It's far more entertaining watching the world burn while everyone else ignores it.
"You'd be hard-pressed to get 1kW on your car in the best case"
Typical solar cells as-is produce 200 watts in about 1 square meter. There's about 5 square meters of roof space on a Tesla and another 3 square meters of hood space and another 2 square meters of trunk space. Plenty of space to give yourself 2kWh every hour. Let's assume 10AM-4PM as our typical brightest sun range. 6 hours * 2kWh = 12kWh over that period of time, or a bout 12.5-ish%.
I could put even more solar than that on my 98 Taurus, which hilariously enough is LARGER than my 2002 Ford Explorer.
"by spending more time on teaching students exactly how variables are stored in memory, you would have less time to teach students about all of the other security issues involved in writing software."
Most of the problems that exist in code are PRECISELY because people don't know where shit is stored, or how it is accessed. Solid fundamentals means solid and informed coding practice. Java is not a solid fundamental for people to start with.
Oh? Troll? Guess you fuckwits never heard of Goon/Infinity. Or have hundreds of Java revisions installed on your computer because every fucking update NEEDS to install a fresh copy, and still leaves the vulnerable one there? Or every upgrade it fucking breaks your program unless you did the smart thing and used Excelscior JET to make a native binary?
My husband's 4S is almost entirely unusable because of the ungodly slow response times of the UI. As in it takes twenty seconds to bring up Apple's own internal map program when it used to take just a couple of seconds before on iOS 7.
But hey, don't let the reality of those that actually time this shit with a stopwatch and eyeballs interfere with your synthetic benchmarks.

"so you end up with 10k, 15k drives only being in 2.5" packages"
You say that as I look at all these 3.5" 15KRPM Ultra-Wide SCSI drives sitting in my drawer.
No, even with MAMR they'll still need to evacuate the drive case and fill it with helium because you can't risk water molecules in the enclosure attenuating the microwave emissions from the heads and causing bad data writes.
"because it retains state so much better without using batter power in sleep mode."
Well I'd sure fucking hope so given sleep mode is a goddamned suspend to RAM and not to disk like HIBERNATE.

"shrink the bill of materials as audio ports with high ingress protection are not cheap"
Less than one cent each on fucking Alibaba. Your materials acquisitions team is a bunch of fucking idiots.
"IP68 audio ports dont always have a favorably design specification to fit your product and may have poor longevity"
It's utter child's play to find an IPX8 audio adapter to fit your form factor - they had SMALLER ones for cellular phones TWO DECADES AGO.
"reduce the number of bends in the seal"
We use ultrasonic welding now days.
"reduce complexity of the gasket"
See above. Sounds like your entire manufacturing team needs to get their ass out of the 1990s and join the near 2020s.
"Look into any high quality headset that can make use of the AptX bluetooth audio codec."
Useless for those of us that record music and need live feedback, because the latency is utter fucking shit.
Don't seem to have issues? You mean besides the utterly lacking bass and the fucking lag? Useless headphones for anything but non-serious listening.
Ah, look at th' wee lad, LSD. How cute. Come get summa dis DMT when you get another 20 years older.

Last I checked, Cortana doesn't run on my old Droid phone or iPhone 4S.

The phone is a barebones install. There are zero apps installed and we'll never participate in the app ecosystem.

I see the JAVA shills have mod points.
Pick a language that isn't as much fucking swiss cheese and you'd see instant improvement.

ICQ Still works. I'm logged in right now.
