That argument doesn't get any more lucid by repeating it. The excess embryos used to harvest stem cells will die anyway. If they're not used to harvest cells they'll go in the bio trash bin. And if a bunch of a couple dozen to hundred cells is worth calling a human being is highly debatable. Remember you shed way more living cells when you take a dump or blow your nose, and each and every one is viable as we know since Dolly the sheep.
Mod parent up. Why anybody has a checking account with one of the big banks is beyond me. ATMs might be the only reason, but I get my cash at the grocery store with my debit card. Without fees of course. And they keep offering me loans at great rates that I don't need. So I guess they're not technically bankrupt like all the big banks.
I'm pretty sure Kindles burn well, but why would Amazon make that a feature? And I think the EPA would have a problem with that. Is our energy situation really that bad?
In other news, a wireless hotspot is a standard feature of Android if your vendor hasn't disabled it and several networks (e.g. T-Mobile) offer unlimited data plans at a reasonable price.
And what happens when the language has some traction and Google gets all protective about it? If you're using a language that doesn't come out of Academia and FOSS it's your own damn fault if the vendor makes decisions that screw you.
1. AM3+ will only be good for the first Bulldozer generation (Zambazi.) The next generation will use the FM2 socket. 2. Right now an AM3+ mobo plus a Phenom II isn't all that much cheaper than an i5 with a LGA1155 mobo. So - unless Bulldozer has a significantly better price/performance ratio and its raw performance is in the vicinity of i7, an LGA1155 is the better choice. I'm waiting for Zambezi benchmarks.
Just give me the damn chips instead of benchmarks. I'm planning a new rig and I'm ready to place a big order with Newegg. Right now it's i7 based. I've been delaying, waiting for Bulldozer, but I won't wait forever.
But then you won't have to buy a new controller/host adapter/motherboard each time the interface standard is bumped up. It's called planned obsolescence.
That's the right way to do it you don't want to deal with field service. And 3% sounds perfectly reasonable for the consumer channel remembering my hard drive days. You only get to 1 or 2% in a tightly controlled OEM environment with mature (aka obsolete) technology. That's why enterprise storage vendors are always 1 or 2 generations behind the bleeding edge. We're just now qualifying 2TB drives.
I'm sure everybody will gladly hire them if they don't demand reasonable salaries. If you want to pay your top execs huge bonuses in a stagnating economy you have to take it from somewhere.
A replacement drive has to be written with the recovered data, that's capacity/data rate seconds worst case, which is quite long with modern drives. That's why you go from RAID-5 to RAID-6 and then to RAID-newfangled with distributed checksums for large arrays, otherwise chances of incurring another failure during that time become significant.
Spindle torque is not a problem because they rotate at a constant speed. Actuator torque is however. Large disk subsystems need careful construction of the frames and disk mounting or the torque of a seeking arm will cause tracking deviation in other drives that show up as increased RW error rates. That happens all the time with cheap disk chassis.

does it run on Linux?
C#? You must be kidding. Replace the blind overlord with the evil one?

Yeah. It's time for Nokia to dump Windows and start using Linux!
OMG! What's this Qt you're talking about and why do you think Nokia has already heard about it?
Intel in its infinite wisdom disabled VT-d in the i5 2500K and i7 2600K.

If that wasn't the case I would have shelled out the money for an i7 2600K and a motherboard a few months ago. As it is, I procrastinated and now the Bulldozer desktop CPUs are just around the corner so I'd rather wait for them.
Yeah I know. But srsly, can I load Ubuntu on it? With a 32GB SD card it might make a nice machine.

I noticed for the first time that they sell watches, and some at very good prices - way lower than amazon.com. I'll buy one.
And watch it.
They don't even get punished when they kill somebody without a very good reason, so what do you expect?

Apple is correct: Hun is capitalized.

No, titties come on something called a DVD.

Donate one to archive.org so they can really archive everything!
