What would it take? Better science education. You can't be a denier if you understand a little physics. Notice that denialism isn't an issue in Europe - there's it's the lunatic fringe (where it belongs.)
Times are changing too quickly to rely on something attractive to even be around 20 years from now. Be a well-rounded ME first, specialized in aerospace second, with a goal to work in private spaceflight third. It's OK to have a goal but do not ignore the potential to [have to] work in an unrelated field several years down the road. The economy is contracting long term. Do we still have the opportunity for supersonic travel? Do we still have reusable space transport? Do we still have a way to get to the moon? Bu the time you have finished your education this will be painfully obvious. Most of all make sure you don't have significant debt.
That would require a function to set the acceptable pubic key(s) through the BIOS. I have never seen such a feature. They are always hardcoded in ROM or stored in the TPM module.
It has been shown that the "invisible hand" of the market works if all participants have same knowledge. So if you want real market capitalism there can be no secrets. Even any delay distorts the optimum. Hence scammers. Err, speculators. Err, traders.
Actually I do see a tipping point coming. SSDs are getting there with a capacity that's totally fine for a laptop as long as you don't want to carry all your movies and rips around (just a few.) Lowish-end SSDs can be had for about $1/GB retail. I had a 160GB HD in my last netbook (which I never needed) and the new one has 250GB, probably because that was the low end or the sweet spot for the manufacturer. But 60GB would be completely OK - I'd actually prefer a 60GB SSD over a 250GB HD any day. And the price of low end HDDs is fixed because all HDDs cost the same to make as long as they have only one platter.
Hmm, maybe I should put the 4x 3TB I bought two weeks ago up on eBay and see what they'll fetch... But seriously, this is going to hurt the industry. At my job we use huge numbers of HDDs. I hope there won't be a real shortage, "just" price hikes.
A high quality and quiet home NAS with 4GB and 15GB RAID5:
Fujitsu server $299.99 (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6939649), sold out now. 6x 3TB drives, $959.94, less if you buy 5400rpm drives. ---------- $1259.93 + 2 spare 250GB drives
Haha. Great minds think alike. Since we're only talking block transfers for IP the file system is not a problem at all. Actually the disk would thrash from the bidirectional transfers so two drives would work better. Then you could use each as a FIFO and have all the goodness of its streaming transfer rate.
I agree that if you limit TV to just specific beneficial content and a short amount of time per day the harm may be minimal. Still overall the cost outweighs the benefit. You can hear everywhere that kids who grow up without TV are better adjusted than others.

Do you say 3/4 did crap out? That's a pretty bad failure rate. In what time?

Some old wisdom could be re-used:
"Variables won't, constants aren't."

And it supports neither ECC RAM nor VT-d, that's why I'm planning my new workstation around a Bulldozer.
That power regression is easily fixed with pcie_aspm=force. I have yet to hear about a laptop that has trouble with that.

But if tools are commonly available to store new keys, what's the point? Malware could use them.

That might be interesting.

On the other hand, serious commentators have said the powers that be will only start to take notice when we have riots like in the UK. Just sayin'.

Erm, 15TB of course.

With parallel SCSI you don't even switch. Just access the HD from both hosts at the same time. :P
I did that between a PC and a MicroVAX once

Don't forget all the methane stored in the tundra and the arctic shelf :(
Yeah, some really nice huts, not all that ugly concrete, steel and glass.
Just wondering. TV isn't just bad for babies.
Taking this to its logical consequence you would need to protest in front of every voter's house. Or most.
Deniers don't do math or physics. That's why they're deniers.
Meh. I feel neglected.
