Wait what? I have an enterprise WD drive installed in my home PC with a 5-year warranty.
As far as reliability, In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I was working at a college whose campus was across the street from the gulf of mexico. One of the professor's computers which was recovered had a WD Caviar Drive in it. Due to location the thing was under sea water for 10 hours. Circutiry on the underside was corroded, it shook salt when you tapped it, and smelled like dead fish. After a lot of sad grinding sounds, Symantec Ghost had made a working clone of it in 20 minutes. No file loss.
In normal operation, many of our (past warranty) WD drives worked like a champ as well. I will also admit our newer seagates never had a single issue, but the older models were less reliable than the aptly named Quantum Fireballs.
MacLeod likens this process to stretching a person's skin until it ruptures, exposing the flesh underneath. That's the most horrifying scientific analogy I've ever heard.
In 2002, a study found that more than half of the children at a school in nearby Merebank suffered asthma -- one of the highest rates in scientific literature. A second study, published last year, found serious respiratory problems throughout the region: More than half of children aged 2 to 5 had asthma, largely attributed to sulfur dioxide and other industrial pollutants. Much of it was produced by companies in which the Gates Foundation was invested. On the other hand, that last line (if not the whole article) is a rather awkward slant. Saying that the Bill and Melinda gates Foundation is killing children by making a (relatively, compared to the industry) small investment in oil is ludicrous. The existence of room for moral improvement in investments does not equate to the current investments being pure evil.
Not terribly suprising for a new board, considering that existing boards can already support early kentsfield chips. Including a kentsfield benchmark run on a MSI 975X Platinum 2.b
Even back in 2005 when I dug this article up for a report, MS had roughly 1/5th the "Smart" Phone market linux did (5% compared to linux's 26%).
If Microsoft is screaming over this, they've been doing so for quite a while.

What increase? We've always paid this price to our Eurasian allies.
Reuters, amoungst others, is reporting this is a sub-orbital Research rocket, not a space missile.
It's okay: in this case it assists concentration. The Pern series, like pedaling, is an exercise in repetition.
For what they're paying for the flight they'd better damn well be awake. Case in point: they'll just evaporate.
Yes, that's in progress.
Yes, they'll have plenty of information to comb through.
