Unfortunately, the data isn't consistent. That's why they need to make corrections. The question is "Do the corrections make it more nearly accurate?", and that's really hard to demonstrate. When there's too much noise in the signal, it's really difficult to filter it out without losing the signal.

The USB-A should be relocated between the Centronics and RS-232 ports. Save space by mounting it vertically!

bizarre as it sounds, try Walmart's house brand, Onn.

they'er the only brand (other than apple itself) that I've tried that consistently works (and I've tried most if not all of the major brands).

They usually last until I do something stupid (leave behind, catch in hinges, drop laptop cable first, etc.). And the price is right, too--most are $6-$10.

>I'm hoping to see the first recycled reactor core! ;^)

c'mon, now.

*everyone* knows that reactor cores blow into a fireball of plasma when you eject them, as soon as they're far enough out that the writers think the ship can (almost) plausibly escape! :)

When you're talking petabytes and "reading DNA", I don't think 60 minutes is the right order of magnitude.

I'm not sure this is going to be public facing. Many of the objections seem to assume that it is. OTOH, AI is known for returning the answers you want it to return, regardless of the truth of those answers. So perhaps it's the perfect yes-man.

I'm not going to claim those are harmless, but banning them appears more socially destructive than allowing them.

Going to a particular date on a tape is a seek operation. A better reply would be that there's more than on kind of cassette. (1/2" tape has been in cassettes before, just not the kind you usually think of. And that was durable enough to allow a reasonable number of seeks. But I'd sure hate to have to patch a tape with that density.)

But how long does it take to search to the particular bits you were looking for? How many times can you search through the tape before it breaks? There are reasons random access cassettes were never popular.

It's not hard to believe. There are lots of plausible explanations. Most likely some of the chips are multi-function,but sold to do one particular job (so only partially documented).

That doesn't imply that the chip didn't have a built-in radio, just that it couldn't transmit or receive without some ancillary mechanisms.
I suspect the claim is technically true, but the reason is that the chips were designed to be sold to different people to do different things.

Are you reasonably certain that this claim is false? Remember that the US is trying to do something similar to NVidia chips. Also lots of chips are multipurpose, with the same chip being sold to different people for different functions.

I'm not sure I believe it, but I'm also not certain it's wrong.

My CU offers a bit of reimbursement, which I don't use.

Fidelity, however, has "all fees reimbursed" for a number of accounts.

Then again, you're not likely to have a cash account there if you don't have significant other assets with them.

this appears to be an urban legend, although oft repeated.

In the last years of her life, she was pretty much pleading for help for her medical bills.

The end game will be dismissal of the case for lack of standing.

It is well established that cows lack standing to sue, even if they can be in chk-a-fil ads! :)
