Your Caviar Black is trumped by my two Scorpio Blacks I had to RMA in one year because of strange read/write delays and clicking noise. No actual failure, but it started from one problem/day when I bought them to 3-4/hour whe

That's a strange name. It reminds me of ruminant[1], but maybe it's because I'm a not a native English speaker. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruminant

You can find work as a young programmer, but the wages are way lower than before. $7/hour as a programmer with a BS is no fun. Before the crisis, a college grad would expect at least 3 times more in Spain, but I know a few experienced

Oracle is huge. It has 17 Senior/Executive Vice Presidents[1] and a lot more "normal" vice presidents[2]. Looks like[3] Tom Budnar is [one of the] VP at "North America Technology & Government Consulting". [1] h

iPad 2 had a 25Wh battery, 3rd gen has a 43 Wh battery (11500 mAh * 3.7V). An iPhone has a ~5Wh battery.

I don't own any Apple device and I don't plan to buy any, but I'm still interested to know what they plan.

A RC helicopter is not a toy. Helicopter blades are really dangerous, and a helicopter is at least 10 times harder to control than a quad drone. Flying a RC helicopter is like balancing a stick on your finger, with strange inertia and wit

The info is scarce and the websites poorly managed. Found something on a VMWare page[1], but the website they link to looks like a autogenerated spam page. > Keepod™ ( http://www.mykeepod.com/ ) is the world’s slimmest US

This also means that people spend less until they get to that cash safety. Yes, they will be able to buy things later, but in the meantime they are not, and an economy based on money flow cannot get better until the flow gets bigger. Also,

I saw a small data center (4 racks) get from 18C to 55C in one hour when the chillers failed. And that was the air temperature, not the server temperature. In theory you can just open the doors, but then you cannot control the humidity.

Depending on hardware, you can get a PicoPSU or similar ATX power supply at ~$50, but they are usually limited to 160-200W - so no fancy quad core desktop CPU or powerful graphics, but 200W is plenty for a normal PC. Some LED displays also

It's a description of a given situation, not a requirement for the job. If this is discrimination, then also the fact that the job is in Russia is discriminating the US job seekers.

I tried industrial earmuffs for a while (-25 dB), when I was in a noisy office, and they work. With another "layer" of in-ear phones you can work anywhere. They also send a stronger signal of "don't bother me", but

For connecting flights you usually have another boarding pass, so you can look at that. Arrival times can vary a lot (because of runway and gate schedules, weather conditions) so you cannot really say "you have 48 minutes before your n

It's actually selling the shovel and the mining grounds, you just have to invest the time to use the shovel. A good question is: if the miner is so good, why don't they just use it and profit? This actually happens, as many bitcoi

I'm probably some other kind of geek, feeling limited by a Gbit connection to the home NAS. Hard to maintain: not sure about others, but I had stability issues with my Pies using USB devices like wifi adapters, memory sticks and webcam

Why would you need two 3.5" drives on a Pi? It would not make a very special NAS or small server, as you access the drives trough USB, sharing it with everything else - LAN and any other things you want to add. Yes, it's cheap and

I'm not sure about that. I spent >$1500 on Android phones, but less than $10 on apps. There are a lot of free/ad app equivalents for the paid apps - I did not need to buy anything. The only paid app I am regularly using is Juic

The only thing you have to know about reliability is "always have backups". I bought 5 SSDs and used them as OS drives on laptops and desktops. No SSD actually failed, but they had "glitches" - 3 of them, of different br

I remember that safety belts on older cars did not have this retractable and locking mechanism you see in cars today. They were fixed - as you also see in the article's photo.

A locksmith can copy a key, but cannot create a key that fits a specific lock without knowing anything about the key. In this case, they could create a key with the data Ford provided just using the "publicly available" (written o

This is because the UAVs have a high degree of autonomy - the technology is probably closer to the Mars probes than to the RC drones.
