The problem with GetDataBack is that it takes forever to run
Exactly. For example it took ~8hrs for Data Doctor to rebuild a FAT in memory on an 80GB drive. Then there are multiple instances of the same folder/file which all have to be checked for access and content. It is laborious work and often not recognised by the clients how much time and effort is needed to get back their files.
It doesn't happen often enough in my line. And it is faster and easier to replace the drive and toss the defective one if it comes from an OEM like HP/Dell. Most are 4yr old 40GB drives anyway, so it's pretty pointless getting a 'new' 40GB drive. They are just too small nowadays.
I saw a program on it. Samples were kept in a glass jar with a screw top. Many are still around. Each sample is maybe 25cm2, so someone would had to have sniffed the undies to find the 'sweet spot':) , then cut the piece out and store it, labeled and all.
The Auslogics free trial works for 30 days (uncrippled) if you can find it. I had this, but didn't use it. The Data Doctor NTFS can be found as a demo only and I think is crippled. http://www.datadoctor.in/data-recovery-software/ntfs-data-recovery-software.html I'm recommending Data Doctor as I've recovered important info of a few crashed drives. Worth the money. You could try your luck and torrent for it. There are also a few via google: http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/file_recovery/info.htm?language=1 and maybe http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec - These are free. Generally if the drive spins up, you've got a chance to recover files. Just make sure you can access the drive off another computer, and have enough space to recover to. Also check some computer mags at newsagents. Many have free utilities included on disk that could be valuable.
There are free hd recovery tools that work really well. THat would be the best solution.
Try: Auslogics Free Trial I recommend Data Doctor Recovery NTFS if you can get a copy. You'll need to network/attach another drive to store the recovered data on. If Data Recovery can't read the drive (and it will take hours), then you'll have to look at professional solutions if you can afford it.
"During an interview the seats were covered with a cotton sheet, to collect the perspiration of the victim. His name was written in a glass and the sheet was kept in the archives. Other common ways that the scents would be collected is through breaking into a home and taking parts of garments. The most common garment taken was underpants, because of how close the garment is to the skin".
They cataloged thousands of scents. They had all these weird theories. Looks like they've been proven right.
what does this bode for the long-term performance of SSDs as the primary mass storage device, particularly for, say, the dedicated swap space for the OS?
All that depends on the OS and demand. I've got 2 linux boxes, one with 1GB ram and another with 2GB and they have never used any swap space. Lots of ram + SSD with no swap partition will make linux work ok if you don't open excessive amnts of apps at the same time.
Just shows the quality of advice Conroy is receiving. What irks me more is that Family First and the Christian Group who are pushing for this won't be affected by any restrictions for obvious reasons.
most of the Labor party is going along for the ride because they don't see it as a very big deal.
They will when they can't get their porn! The ACT/Queenbeyan has the laxest regulations regarding brick and mortar porn shops. You can even buy fireworks in the ACT legally!!!
But as some of us know, it's easy to block a dozen sites and 'prove' that filtering works.
This will be seen as a success that filtering doesn't slowdown anything. Once it's in place and the filterset gets bigger by a few magnitudes, that's when it going to bite hard. I understand MM's point very well, but he's got to be careful not to be the fall guy here. The filterset has to be fully fledged and operational for it to be a true test. When it starts to affect business, gov. administration etc, that's when the bat shit hits the turbine.
I read about it (33cc) in a local library before the internet. It turned out to be ideal size/weight/power ratio for small single cylinder motors. Don't ask me the source. There must be more modern studies that I'm not aware of.
I don't think the rhombic drive would be suitable. However if you mount it through the centre of the dish, the heat collector would need to be extended to the focal point of the dish and the cooling radiator would need to be behind the dish. That would give enough temp. difference for it to work really well.
I've tried to design one on the same principles but using diaphrams instead of pistons. Still working on it.
33cc is optimal for the piston size/stroke which can be oversquare (stoke is longer than piston diameter). or undersquare (stroke is shorter than piston diameter). Longstroke = more torque, short stroke = more power at high rmp. - Just scale it up if you need bigger. Your problems will be the heat exchangers - very efficient at heating water btw. Wiki has a good description and will give you a few types to consider. There's what you want already built in Spain: Point focus parabolic dish with Stirling engine and its solar tracker at Plataforma Solar de AlmerÃa (PSA) in Spain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_engines There are also other 'solid state' alternatives too. Just google it to find a pile of hobby sterling engine sites. There are also commercial sterling fridges, water-heaters and power generators ready to go.
Despite acknowledging that WebKit's open-source nature is "interesting," Microsoft's chief executive elaborated on why he says the software giant is sticking--at least for now--with its Trident rendering engine for Internet Explorer.
"I think there will continue to be a lot of proprietary innovation by us, and other people, inside the browser itself," he said. "A company like ours needs to have (its own) rendering service. It is important that we have a browser that embraces (Internet) standards but also allows us to have innovative extensions, even before the standards bodies go there."
So MS make innovative extensions to IE and then wait for the standards bodies adopt it??
He's completely ignoring FOSS here. He seems to have lost objectivity, especially if you read the rest of the article. Doesn't look like MS is going compliant any time soon.
Not a single game since Crysis came out comes close to taxing the system
Ever try FlightSim 10? The guys who run it, also run a pile of addons like real world weather, ATC, virtual 3d cockpits and the rest. Even FS9 on directx 9 sucks on a 3.2P4 with 2gb ram with the best 3D card - maybe 20fps. FS10 or FSX as it is known, can barely do 10fps.
3D card/systems comparisons generally avoid the FS game as it is very demanding on all systems.
Every commercial software vendor would port to GNU/Linux the very next week,
Why would they (commercial vendors) do that? They can still sell their products. Also, freeware/shareware vetted by an MS community could also go in the MS repository as well as 'pay for' software.

Damn it! You're right. Out of all the spam I've gotten in recent years, I've only got 1 from a Russian bride-to-be:
Hello! My name is Nataliya, me of 26 years, I the intellectual, nice, sexual girl which at present searches for serious attitudes - I shall tell more search for the man for marriage! I only, that have read through your questionnaire and it has very much interested me, I wish to continue to learn you. So we can have dialogue!

As I'm already married ('nuff said), I can't take advantage of this incredible offer, so you can have her. BTW She's blond, petite, late 20's. Good Luck
There are other forms of hidden text or more correctly, 'meanings'. One that comes to mind is the Pesher technique which is used to re-interpret holy texts. The other is termed 'Legominism' also gnostic, as described by Gurdjieff who showed that missing or incorrectly ordered information, compared to correctly orderd information can also pass on meaning. That using a 'mask'. For example as there are 7 days in the week - SMTWTF, and if the message reads SMTTWTFS then a message has passed on. Legominisms can be part of architecture, statues, inscriptions, carpets, musical notation, dances and so on. Both these techniques are very old and most have not been decoded yet.
When was that discovered? Strangely (although typically), I did a thesis on Gulliver's Travels pointing out the various attacks on Newton and his physics. This was an historical work. At the same time, I modified a subset of it and turned it in as an English Lit. paper. Neither disciplines saw eye-to-eye on the same content! I was a bit bemused at the time and realised that truth and objectivity doesn't exist as far as historians and English literature are concerned. In my research (mid 1970's), I had never come across the steganographical aspect of Dean Swift's work(s). So I'm intrigued about your sources and knowledge about him.

No hope with WinX however.
Segate doesn't honor its 5 yr warranty directly if the drive came via OEM (HP for example).
To claim on those, the drive (the whole box in some instances) has to be sent back to the OEM including freight charges.
The OEMs don't necessarily honor parts warranty like Seagates unless the fault occurs within their standard warranty period of 12 months.
