The artist draws everything in vector and often puts a lot of little details into each frame.
A vector viewer is available (swf) allowing you to zoom in and appreciate all the little details.

Check them out. Definitely one of the most artsy comics I've seen online.

We've been touching monitors for quite a long time without any issue. It's been completely unnecessary up until now, but I doubt there will be many issues with monitors finally responding to user touch and doing something useful in return.

Been using NX for years, I love it.
Wish there were some more updates to nomachine... are there any other clients out there that are more up to date?
The cache on a hard disk is often used as write cache - store incoming data in cache, leave actually committing it to disk until a convenient opportunity arises.
32MB of cache doesn't take that long to flush. 1GB, OTOH...
You're forgetting that a hybrid drive would be using NAND flash vs DRAM... NAND is a NVRAM and won't have to be flushed to disk in the event of a power outage. It is persistent.
That said, they may still use a little bit of DRAM cache in the drive.

Errr no. The Daily Mail is owned by a different media magnate... Lord Rothermere.
Nice try at blaming Rupert Murdoch - owner of hugely nationalistic media in Australia, US and UK but a man who sold his nationality to expand his business empire, but the Daily Mail is a different type of nut, EVERYTHING in the world is either a) Hugely bad or b) Hugely good. Often in the same issue of the Mail a single product will both cause AND cure cancer.
Only real surprise in the article is that it didn't mention how this would impact house prices.
If you aren't needing to store more than 64GB of material then you could substitute "thumb drive" or "CF/SD card and reader" for portable USB drive
Negative. NAND flash w/o active management is NOT a "safe" storage medium, especially in larger sizes of MLC flash.
NAND cells love to flip bits/etc. just for the fun of it. Unless you have some active process to continually check bits and verify they haven't changed, I would not trust it for long term storage.
It's true that NAND is non-volatile and will store electrons for a long period of time, but there isn't too much of a guarantee that the information recorded stays in-tact for long, unpowered bits of time.
Once you factor in the total cost of ownership for a disk-based SAN eg: heat/cooling/maintenance/etc... Flash is actually pretty cheap.
Before people bleat about this being about poor MS security do remember how many dumb folks there are out there. Lots of attacks come from dumb folks using things like Bittorrent and then executing something that they really shouldn't do without having decent virus protection on their machine.
So good on Microsoft for doing this, yes they also need to clean up their security act, which they have been doing, but also coping with the dumb people who buy their products is a decent thing to do.
but 37 km is nowhere near space in my book. My personal boundary for space is the end of the Mesosphere. Official boundaries oscillate between 80 and 130 km.
Now here is a person with serious personal boundary issues.
Sounds like they are just using different wavelength (wavelength = color) lasers to push multiple signals down the same strand...
This is an old idea and is already in use all over the world.

I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
