I've been worrying about SMR drives reliability. If the power gets killed and the drive is updating a block not exactly adjacent to the guard zone doesn't it corrupt the overlapping track as well ?
Have you ever considered that maybe it felt better before because you were part of a more select group of fans. It was your shared secret and now it's just part of the mainstream.
Personally, as cold as this sounds, I'd rather they have been able to carry out their attacks then suffer the real attacks on my liberties. Yes, I'm aware that good people might die as a result. I accept that it may be myself or someone I care about. Yes, I'd rather keep my rights than live in fear. I know, I'm a cold bastard. *sighs* Yes, I'm selfish for wanting to keep my rights. I accept that.
I totally agree, I'm from Belgium and I hate this round of emotional policy pushing. The Humanists fought to get religion out of state, the revolutionaries fought to remove the absolute monarchs. Our nations had to ward of expansive aggressors with radical forms of governance. The pot of blood for our free society is huge, it surely can take a couple more.
- buying nuts from that odd lady on the farmer's market with the exotic nut tree
She might be in need of a card reader.
And a "business bank account" and a computer and...
Putting cash in their cup is not necessarily the best way to help them, but a Square account would change their lives. Or donating to an organized charity. Or giving them a gift card for food. You know, being intentional.
I'm not sure if dictating what they should do is more helpful. And as someone who has experienced first hand what banks do when a family defaults on their debts, I can't ever trust them. So I do want cash available, always !
Don't we need a (small) black/grey economy ? Think about all the corner cases for which you might not want to leave a trail behind:
- buying nuts from that odd lady on the farmer's market with the exotic nut tree
- giving money as a present to your daughter, son
- kid's paperoutes.
- buying sextoys to spice up the relationship.
- buying generic medicines accross borders because prices are actually affordable there.
- donating to the homeless and less privileged.
I don't think so. They will in a few years time and in the mean time they'll market tuned versions of their high end SSD's as being comparable. But I'm someone who believes they will deliver on some of their hype.
I agree in general (everything fades) but not on these specifics. On the mainland of Europe Caesar will be remembered for a long time since the Roman influence was ubiquitous and its stories seems to be written in the golden age of our (shared) history writing. We didn't learn Caesar from Shakespeare, we learned Caesar because he kicked our asses in his expansion efforts (Gaul).
If you use ntfsclone (ntfs-3g) or Microsoft's dism (winpe) which clones only used blocks you can do away with filling up the disk with zeroes a first time and dd'ing the entire partition/disk on each run.
I usually do xxd/dev/sdx | fgrep 'R.NTFS' to find NTFS drives. But yes some WD USB disks use the password to encrypt the master key situated on the small adapter card.
I always tought a railgun would be implemented like a maglev train, nothing touching the actual rails. With a temporary power source in the slug to create magnetic field.

Enough people run raspbian on their Raspberry Pi's.
But then you're the "never complaining employee and they can burry you with the shit jobs nobody wants to do.

Not all things that are illegal should be.
Dell has some affordable ones like the U2412M. But you do pay a 25% premium for the 16:10 1920x1200 spec.
So they will be enforcing "security by obscurity" ?
Yes because you can keep consuming without income. Don't you guys already have enough debt as it is.
I don't think so. They will in a few years time and in the mean time they'll market tuned versions of their high end SSD's as being comparable.

For that to succeed you need more than 2 manufacturers (Intel & Micron) though.

But Shakespeare could have only written about Caesar if he were remembered.
The Qubes OS people do participate in Xen's development (http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=marek).
Isn't that what these things are for eventually: http://www.avagotech.com/produ....
They also bought STEC in 2013, a manufacturer of mostly PCI-Express based Enterprise Flash drives.
If you use ntfsclone (ntfs-3g) or Microsoft's dism (winpe) which clones only used blocks you can do away with filling up the disk with zeroes a first time and dd'ing the entire partition/disk on each run.
At least that's how I think they do it.
I wonder if the same people implement their Enterprise SED schemes.

He's comparing the Iris Pro 6200 to AMD's offerings. And he is somewhat right: http://www.tomshardware.com/re....

I guess no wear and tear and higher precision.
Why is "Starship Troopers" somewhat alike Tom Clancy ?
