Because it won't work.

You can't wish a flood away, no more than you can wish the sky to be green.

The world is a global marketplace and there is nothing you can do to stop someone in India offering their services at a lower price than you.

To Linux. We have been 100% Linux since then - not a single Microsoft machine in the entire operation. And yes, we do get threatening letters from the BSA every year...

Ionization is not what it's talking about either. But, lesson learned - don't try and be all 'sciency' and use the wrong jargon.

It's not bad science, because it's not science at all.

"First, consider the true vaporization â" the complete separation of all atoms within a molecule"

That's not what vaporization is.

I doubt they have diagnostic coverage of every single flop in the entire processor.

When an HDD fails, you can still get the data off of it. It's expensive, but it can be done.

When an SSD fails, it seems that more often than not your data just disappears. I think this is why the industry is moving towards only using SSDs for caching to platter drives, because honestly I don't believe SSDs will ever be reliable enough for critical storage.

Stop buying OCZ SSDs.

"The idea is that Android tablet manufacturers will use the Seagate drive, along with the company's mobile enablement kit and caching software, to up the storage."

They will use the "enablement kit" to "up the storage." Does that mean it's not really 500GB, but some smaller capacity that is made to be 500GB through software?

Maybe they just licensed DBLSPACE.BIN from Microsoft?

You have a right against self-incrimination. You have no right against being incriminated by others, or against incriminating others. If you possess material facts and evidence that would incriminate someone else in a trial, you can be compelled to give it up, and nothing in the constitution prevents it.

There are some legal exceptions that have been carved out over time that do offer protections in some circumstances, for example Attorney-Client Privilege, Doctor-Patient Privilege, Spousal Privilege, and so on.

The case here is pretty clear cut. There is nothing journalistic about acting as an avenue for the commission of a crime. You are not writing a story or documenting anything - you are an accessory to a felony.

Obviously, that's the way Breaking Bad works. Seasons are 8 episodes long, and there are two seasons per year.

Nothing to see here... move along.

People use forks to become obese. Ban forks.

People use cars to rob banks. Ban cars.

People use bittorrent to steal music. Ban bittorrent.

Criminals will ALWAYS use lawful means to unlawful ends. Banning the lawful means does not prevent it.

What prevents it is actually holding criminals responsible for their crimes, and making prison HARD, as opposed to the modern "friendly" prisons that are more like club resorts.

If all crimes were punished with hard labor, people would stop committing crimes awfully fast. No TV. No free education. No magazines. No books. No gym. Just a sledgehammer and a pile of rocks. All day. Every day.

I'm an American. I don't care what my government does to me or what liberties it takes away as long as I can get my daily dose of banal entertainment.
