"SANs are immune to hacking" Oh man. That is rich. Can I interest you in a very fine Bridge? only slightly used.

uh, we don't fight opium production. If anything we support it. Haven't you seen the statistics on Afghanistan?

The article says quite clearly: The scientific problem they're solving has to do with recovering proteins from test tubes in the lab.

Congratulations - you have made the exact same argument that was made against HD in the first place. Guess what: people will upgrade, because people who aren't you, can notice a difference in the living-room.

Thats just because no one has bothered to make a malicious 40Gb NIC. There's nothing inherently secure about a PCIe card using DMA.

SPI Flash - is an eeprom.

It shouldn't surprise anybody that a malicious PCI-E card can access a system.

I've been using one of my three monitors in portrait mode for decades. It was more important when you couldn't fit a full page of text in landscape orientation. It's also quite helpful to conserve desk real-estate.

The more reasonable approach - which is actually used in a lot of places - is to pump water uphill. The real problem is when there is no shortage of water, and the reservoirs are full. This is precisely their argument when not honoring wind contracts.

Part of the problem might be that they can't sell the power. The wind farms we currently have are already producing more power than the bonneville power administration is willing to purchase - even though they are under contract to do so.

They're not a utility - they damn well can terminate service for any reason.

Line of sight between the operator and the model - has always been a legal requirement of operating R/C aircraft.

Did i though? http://www.engadget.com/2014/0... Its nothing but a really bloody accurate accelerometer.

The Gyro Compass was patented in 1911.
