Seriously. Where does the news come from in the first place? US, the citizens of the world. You think you're going to be able to hide something? Only if you're deep in government connections, pal!
If the people in charge of making SSDs would quit using NAND Flash and move to OUM you wouldn't even need to worry about wear leveling. 10^8 is much better than 10^5 that we generally get now.
No, the first Ghostbusters on the NES was NOT about management, nor was the follow-up on the Genesis. The first NES game was a race against time after building up PKE levels by clearing buildings of ghosts, then havng to enter the Zuul building and make it to the 22nd floor. The Genesis version was just an updated side-scroller version of the same with better graphics and controls. I own the games, so I'm well aware about what the Ghostbusters game franchise is all about.

"Much combat remains, but the RIAA's campaign is no longer a hot knife cutting through butter on the nation's campuses."
Nope, now they're lobbying to make it mandatory for colleges to purchase each student a Napster or Rhapsody account or LOSE FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID.
Someone just needs to shoot every RIAA member in the head right now. If anyone will donate to my legal defense fund, I'll be more than happy to pull the trigger. My finger's been REALLY itchy as of late.
You don't need a basis for comparison when one can generate their ideal world in their head and make that ideal world the basis for comparison. We have a phrase that somewhat covers it to some degree - lies, damned lies, and statistics. I'll leave it as an exercise to you to figure out what I mean.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics. I don't need to say one damned thing else. BTW You made another mistake, it's 300,000,000, not 200,000,000 for our population, according to census.
due to thermodynamics, plants can't create more H20 and C02 than they take in
Considering plants 'INHALE' CO2, they're not going to produce it to begin with. Only us non-plant types produce CO2.
And for fuck's sake - EVERYTHING IS CARBON NEUTRAL. Unless something extraterrestrial smacks into this planet and adds carbon weight to our planet, NOTHING produces more carbon, as it's been here already the whole fucking time. The whole fucking idea is a SCAM - and if you can't see it, you need new glasses. The "Carbon neutral" people need to be skinned alive, because they're only introducing a bullshit muck into the rest of the issues of global preservation. Screw carbon, what about that Radium cloud floating two inches above your head?
Yup. I'm 25 and I look damn-near 35 thanks to smoking.
A plus, though. I can attract most any hot MILF within seconds (always fun to screw with the other guys.) Minus? I'm gay, so it doesn't really affect me (even more fun, they know I'm gay and they still can't get the girl from me.)
This is important when you are trying to turn off a room full of equipment during a power failure.
The power failed - if your backup generator or battery system isn't properly maintained, you won't have to worry about shutting off a room full of equipment. Personally, since I run nothing critical on my machines, let the power fail. There are no settings to restore when they're all network-booted anyways.
Considering the next closest relative of a tomato or potato is the poisonous nightshade plant (another Solanacae,) I'd well wager the 'virus' was actually a dose of Solanacae poisoning, throwing those affected into a delirious state, making them act zombified, which prompted people to kill them off.
Yup, and knowing plenty about the problem, I keep my power strip right between my tower and my amplifier, right where I can reach over the keyboard and KILL EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
No sissy waiting for stuff to shut down. All my programs are closed, hard disk activity light not blinking *click* everything's off.
Why wait for a solution when we've had one for decades and it works more reliably than some software-controlled switch?
And just like a grenade exploding in the air above the ground, comet fragments would be driven into the ground below for pickup and discovery. Drawing lines would work out reasonably well, as the center of the blast location would be ideal for finding trace remnants of the comet.
Turkey? The same Turkey where women are treated as objects? The same Turkish people that come into our video chat rooms and pretty much do nothing but act like pigs and harass our women? (Get on Camfrog, ask about Turkish people. Wait for the reaction.)
Hell, I can understand why we want to get to scrappin' with them. I've met many people of many different ethnicities in my 25 years of life. The Turkish almost make the top of the list of those I don't particularly care for. Out of thousands of Turks I've seen, only maybe two acted like humans. The rest in their internet cafes, they're slobs and jerks.
Just sayin'. I can point you to at least one community of people worldwide that don't like the Turks - just go to Camfrog and see what they constantly have to put up with.
When was Voyager made? Oh yea, we didn't have technology that advanced.
As it is, Radio is better for distance communications whereas laser is better over shorter distances.
See, the big issue is even though we can fire a nice pinpoint laser here from earth, by the time it reaches Pluto the beam diameter has expanded to something about the size of Texas. Since there is no longer a focused beam, now it's just a scatter, it's nearly impossible for something to pick up the light pulses amongst background light from other stars. The amount of power needed to push light such long distances without major interference/obstruction is just too prohibitive.
So we use radio waves. We don't need nearly the power to achieve the distance, and they're still just as fast for the most part (both run light speed, since they're both electromagnetic waves.)
And it's less than 70kilobits per second, just FYI.

If China is deliberately doing this - block China completely, they have just become a bigger threat than we can afford to deal with.

Which model of HP Laptop? I've worked on everything from nx/nc6400 (commercial) to dv9000 (consumer) and have NEVER seen that option in the BIOS.
Ghostbusters Arcade was 1987, way after the NES and Atari versions. (1984 I think for NES version)

"it could be a management game,"
Forget what he's smoking!! MANAGEMENT GAME?!?!? What are YOU smoking? Can I have some of it?
No restrictions on running a server? Not according to my Bellsouth/AT&T contract - that's specifically forbidden.
They need higher read/write speeds. I should be able to saturate the SATA bus since there are no moving parts for bottlenecks.

Anytime anyone goes online is a gamble. What do you want infected/DRM'd/spoofed/phished today?

No way in hell - power strip, to the right of the monitor and amplifier.
Once all my computer activity is done, I flip the switch. Power off, 100%.
