Comment Re:Ultrabook's biggest problem: (Score 1) 513

Most early ultrabooks only had at best 128 GB of SSD memory, which is kind of cutting it close after you load Windows 7 and Office 2010.

This week I installed Windows 7 Pro, Office 2010 Pro Plus, and a slew of other business software on a 40GB SSD with room to spare. Amazing what you can do without porn.

Submission + - AntiSec Hacks FBI Laptop, Leaks Over a Million iOS Device UDIDs (paritynews.com)

The hackers have posted their message on a Pastebin whereby they have explained their motive behind the hack and how did they get hold of these records. Giving a reference to July 2012 NSA's General Keith Alexander speech at DefCon, whereby he urged hackers to help out the government in securing the Internet. The hacking collective said, “We decided we'd help out Internet security by auditing FBI first.”

Comment Not a game (Score 2) 113

It's really not a game, just a reward system, similar to Slashdot karma.

The removal concept isn't new either; if you use any OS (typically Windows PE or Linux live) that isn't the infected one, it makes everything much easier. The most interesting thing about all of it is their patent-pending "one-time modification to the Windows bootloader". Not exactly something you want to get wrong, but I think it's a serious step in the right direction.

Comment I Own One (Score 1) 143

Victorinox has had a line of these for several years. I own one of the early ones from when 512MB was as big as you could buy. It's been on my keychain all these years and still works great.

I've found the tool I use most often is the knife, usually for opening packaging. When the pen stopped working, they sent me a new one, no questions asked. And I'm not sure what other people store on these things, but I hardly ever use more than 100MB.

Exactly. In rural areas they wanted to compete with satellite and long-range wireless providers. The default installation here is now a HSPA+ (42 Mbps) router for fast ethernet and wireless-N. Since cell phones probably outnumber these installations 100-to-1, this is an expected result. I don't understand the OP's car analogy.
