Dear Google,
How do you plan on overcoming internet dropping out for blocks around everytime someone wants to make some hot pockets?
Sincerely,

The relays will be running at enough power to cook a passing pigeon, so there's also the bonus of feeding street people nourishing hot meals.
also, if you stay in the area long enough you won't need a tanning bed!
First they have this billionaire oligarch, then they just buy whatever players they want, then he keeps sacking managers...
We're talking about the same Chelsea, right?
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
Offtopic, but shouldn't that be "Deja FUBAR" (Fouled/F***** up beyond all recognition)? "Foobar" is a metasyntactic variable(s) that might be derived from the former acronym, but doesn't have the same meaning.
See my journal entry on it from several years ago.
Off to take a porcelain cruise, don't wait.
I've already done this experiment over 30 times. Its called winter.
Move to California. We're nuts out here. We run, bike, hike, walk dogs, everything in the pouring rain. We're so used to being out and about we can't control outselves.
"Jane!!! Stop this crazy thing! Jane!!!"
So the solutiion is to hang a bunch of wall paper in the space craft of golden hills, vinyards, redwood groves, beaches, granite infested mountain trails and a Jeep.
Can't talk now, carrying a piece of paper, which means I'm on an urgent business of some sort.
I got one of those great Bag Phones, the things which could talk to a cell tower a couple counties away. I relized right away I could not drive and dial at the same time, so gave that up in the first days I had it. It was a hoot being on a ramp off the highway, making restaurant reservations for Pizzapapalis Taverna in Greektown, Detroit. "Where are you calling from?" "Off ramp along I-75 near Birch Run." "Wow! You've got one of those new car phones?!?" Yeah, it was a trip. Now everyone has one. Even little kids.
Explains why Riker stopped shaving second season.
Make it so, Number One.
The USB protocol is not designed for high performance IO to the level where you really are going to see 'real' SSD gains.
True. True.
So it'll give a little tinge of suspense while some weasel stands at a server, dowloading the entire SQL database of all Taxpayers in the US, as the seconds tick by and the weasel begins to sweat as he hears footsteps approaching the door to the server room...
Holy crap, not only did someone make a Jurassic Park reference, but I got it without having to look it up.
You realize it's been twenty freaking years since that movie came out? I remember playing the theme song in my high school band. Sometimes I look at the guy in the mirror and wonder where the wrinkles and gray hair came from.
Then my nine-year-old daughter asks me to get out of the bathroom so she can do her hair before she goes to her mom's house.
"Oh, right."
Yeah. And I remember reading the book, at 3 AM with my heart pounding so hard in my chest that it hurt. Michael Crichton was a hell of a suspense writer -- too bad so little of it survived into the film. Steven Spielberg can be terribly overrated at times.
So any day now someone's going to do it. Clone a mammoth or something. Count on it.
I think the only people to care enough to write reviews on mechanical drives these days are those with a bad story to tell because there's absolutely nothing exciting to say. Nobody cares about performance anymore because SSDs has spanked them every which way but they're cheap, big and they work, sure you could get a lemon but I'd take backups of that SSD too. I think your chances of a broken drive was much higher back when they had new tech and doubled in capacity every two years.
Approximately 50% of respondents mentioned the drives worked and the were mostly happy, aside from quite a lot of drive noise. ~25% remarked their drives worked for a while. About 15% mentioned at least 1 DOA arriving in their order, whether it was the only one or one or two out of a few or several.
Not quite the expceptions. I've dealt with RMAs before, but the concept of spending a day moving frome one drive to anther and then having it die isn't very attractive. A RAID is the only way I'll go with hard drives.
Around 1990, I paid $400 for a 40MB MFM drive.
Dude! By 1990 everyone was moving to RLL!
Ah, and we once had a stack of old Byte magazines on a shelf in the corner, I leafed through a few for a good laugh. 1980 a 5 MB drive cost $2500, a 10 MB drive cost about $4000.
I learned from Wally.
I bought a 512GB SSD for $400-ish. It's about time somebody stuffed that kind of drive into a USB stick. It should have mass market appeal so the volume should be much higher than regular SSDs.
Dennis Nedry called, he's got the complete mapped DNA of all the dinosaurs for you. He'll be delivering them as soon as he gets his car out of the mud.
The Swiss Army knife with a 1TB drive available last year goes for $3000.
I find the older ones amusing. What good is this old memory stick on a knife good for? At least a knife is timeless.
Just call the next one "Cloud". I store everything in the Cloud.
Cloud's too slow.
Let me know when your local telco upgrades that copper so you can upload data at 160MB/s and also drops usage caps.
