Comment More recently MFG'd flash has more writes. (Score 1) 357

For ~3 years now ive been using a swapfile on a 2GB Kingston micro-mmc card with my nokia tablet (only 64meg ram)

after running an 8Meg file as swap i got a scare maybe 6mo back when i was unable to write a new file to the card - I thought, I'd finally done it: id burned through my writability -

after some close inspection though, i'd just hit the FAT file-per-directory limit. oh -ho :P

Recently ive actually increased the file to 64Meg to swap out more stuff for gaming with large Roms.
Honestly Im amazed the card has lasted as long as it has - considering i thrash the system near-constantly - with my new usage patterns, i'd still estimate the card has another 2 healthy years of service.

Comment Only protects from profiling ISPs (Score 5, Insightful) 240

By firing up random connections, this only protects you from an ISP that is profiling your use. The MPAA can still go fire up a bitorrent client, join a swarm downloading content they claim copyright on and start writing down the IP of everyone who is participating. And then they call up your ISP. this 'masking' technique doesnt actually 'mask' anything very well.
