Now you can pay $4000 for a drive that won't last 2 years! Yeah.. sign me up.
With capacity like this they could put in a RAID0 option which halves the capacity but increases the reliability by orders of magnitude. If corruption is detected you can grab the shadow copy, remap it somewhere else, mark the block as bad. The chances of two blocks failing at the exact same time is insignificant.
Right now Windows XP is used on 1 in 4 computers (approx).
I bet you'd be the first in line to complain if Ford stopped supporting a model when it dropped below 1 in 4 of all cars on the road.
Periodic copying, on a copier/xerox, of the contents of your wallet works well. Make sure you copy both sides of credit cards and such, as they have numbers to call for cancellation or replacement. You could even simply scan the contents, then encrypt and store it somewhere.
What is this "copier/xerox/scanner" you speak of? Are you also going to telefax the copy you made to the secure location?
The correct method is to place the document on a wooden table and photograph it with your cellphone.
The thing is, the phone didn't cause this, accident rates have not significantly gone up....these people were always out there...they were just less identifiable.
So now we have an easy way to identify them?
Time to put their insurance premiums through the roof.
Newsflash: it turns out that rules written on pieces of paper don't actually stop the police from arresting you for parody.
...especially when the person you're parodying is a self-important asshole who happens to have the chief of police in his pocket.
No doubt this "revolution" will be organized on Facebook
(and the police will be waiting with tanks when they arrive to take over the mayors office... Internet surveillance, bitches!)
The image I have in my head right now is Boss Hogg with a big cigar is his hand shouting at some policemen to "do something".
Have they attached the inductor any better since his video? Enquiring minds...
He did eventually fix it up and it still works. It appears in some later videos, eg. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
PS: I scored one of those on eBay after I watched that. Cost me $80 but still a pretty good buy. It still has the "US Army" sticker on it complete with last calibration date (Feb 2011). There's not a mark on either the meter or the carrying case and the probes were brand new in plastic bag. I reckon it never left stores... "beauty!"
There's people in Guantanamo whose only crime is to wear one of those: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

"Hardest working"?
I think the point is that off-shore platforms don't sink when the weather changes, tsunami or not.
Neither do the onshore ones...
Rouge waves, typhoons, collisions with tankers, vulnerability to warships, aircraft, submarines.
But hey. It's cool that a tsunami won't screw it up.
Wouldn't it be better on the sea bed? Also tsunami-proof...but also rogue-wave, aircraft and tanker proof.
Even better. Don't build any more reactors than can go into meltdown.
You COULD prevent millions of people from being able to do their job,
(And set up a honeypot it its place to catch the bad people)
The carriers already can (and do) block stolen phones. Each phone has a unique IMEI number, in addition to the SIM card number.
IMEI can be changed. It's usually just a file on a special partition.
