Thats why they now have eMLC drives... which, if I'm not mistaken, is what the intel drives are. The e in eMLC stands for Enterprise. They can do 3x the number of write/program cycles as the average MLC drives. While still not as good as SLC (or eSLC, which is also out there), it's not as bad as it could be.

But really, for enterprise level storage, you should still stick with spindle based storage, and use MLC drives for read cache, and a mirrored pair of eMLC, or SLC drives for write cache. Or, in ZFS parlance, use MLC drives as cache, and eMLC/SLC as mirrored log drives in a zpool.

I dont know about AT&T's smartphone insurance, but when I got mine from a nameless company that rhymes with Lint, the person at the store actually told me "If it fails due to water damage, dont tell us, dont bring the phone in, call the warranty number and say the phone was lost, you'll just have to pay $50 for a refurbished one, but they wont flat out reject the warranty".

But, I know some providers wont insure smartphones, because they're so "Expensive". And if you're worried about data...remember the old addage: Backup Backup Backup!

Well, in a valley between 2 hills in the mountains...I get snowed into my driveway (which itself is the bottom of a hill...).

But at least I can telecommute those days.

But I have several stacks of about 10-20 1U servers, all with either a single or dual quadcores, not including the RAID cards with their own processor (the adaptec's are dualcore). Then there are the functional desktops, all dual core systems, save for mine at quadcore (for now... I'm reusing a server setup to do a dual quadcore desktop). So, definitely, "too many". At least 40 actual CPUs... closer to 100 if you count cores.

Apple Airport Extremes can do ipv6. I know this cause Charter in my area gives out ipv6 addresses as well as v4.

I know with Sprint, as long as you're using EVDO RevA, you can do data and voice (I've received emails while on a voice call, with wifi turned off). Now anything lower than EVDO RevA, and you have to wait until the voice call has stopped before data starts coming in. I dont know if Verizon supports that, though.

Medical Heroine... Morphine or Dilaudid?
And Heroin was a brand made by Bayer (yes, the aspirin people...), and is a derivative of morphine

I do believe some hospitals do still use cocaine as a topical anesthetic.

Um... even with fat clients, if a switch dies, wouldnt that take out anyone who's on that switch anyways? I mean, yes, they'll have access to their desktop, but not anything on a fileserver, such as shared spreadsheets... or email, or web, or anything else outside of their walled off system.

Switch would still need to get replaced, no matter if the person had a thin client, a fat client, or a Cray YMP...

ICE has a department called Cybercrimes.
ICE handles more than Immigration, hence the Customs part... bringing in stuff from overseas, including electronic data, falls under Customs enforcement. I know this from having to deal with a subpoena and warrant from ICE a few years back, all run through our lawyers, while in the hosting business. Of course, I dont think I can go into specifics, though it did have to do with something similar to this, with iframes, etc.

But I think it has a lot to do with which agency finds it first nowadays

Asheville has Charter, or AT&T. There's also Skyrunner, which is a wireless broadband provider, using Point to Point, with speeds over 30mbit in both directions, as long as you have LoS to a tower.

Asheville has a ton of bandwidth however. There is a datacenter here, with quite a bit of bandwidth (240gbit in place), as well (oh, and it's been here since before 2005).

Of course it is.. they were using the Plane Finder AR app! They were trying to steer the balloon with telekinetics towards a plane!

Unless you go by the theory that time doesnt flow at the same speed if you're traveling the speed of light, and you might not age, or age in reverse... or just turn to a puddle of primordial ooze..

I'm wondering how this BK worker got hurt... did she lean too far out of the window and fall?
