Easiest job ever, search online through shopping review sites and ebay feedback for 'fake' etc, Buy item. Arrest if selling a lot of fakes.

The failure rate of SSDs is a third of that of HDDs and HDDs can also fail catastrophically. It surprises me that anyone would run a PC without an SSD as their OS driver, the speed difference is night and day.

He made a video.

I thought USA had some kind of freedom of speech thing going, Like a constitution or something.

"Bahnhof, a builder of futuristic-looking data centers" Has nominated Snowden for the peace prize.

I wouldn't expect those morally corrupt idiots to actually award him the prize. It would restore some of their credibility if they did though.

1) No-one called it a disaster.

2) Its five+ bad patches not one.

3) Your post is almost identical to the last one which got modded up a lot and is also an Anonymous Coward and was posted only 2 minutes prior and was also un-informative and un-insightful.

4) The article neglects to state what the problems with all of the patches are. It appears that some of the patches don't install properly causing windows to loop round the boot process (ugly) or windows states installed patches aren't installed.

5. "There appears to be nothing wrong with the patch." Obviously not the case.

6. If automatic updates is on then why would the version be out of date?

"causes the folder pane in Outlook 2013 to disappear."

That sounds like a major headache to me. And considering the article only states the ill-effects of one of the patches, how do you know that the other patch effects are minor?

The cowards post is not informative is it stupid mods, MS employees with mod points?

If the company you work for is terminating people, you may want to think about leaving ;-)

And if these 'rock stars' are so bad, why are the other companies offering them more money?

What an absolutely ironic statement, the 'Idiots who shop at Whole Foods' would never get vitamin A deficiency because they don't eat all processed crap. If all people ate all 'whole foods' this story wouldn't exist.

Monsanto's version of GM is slamming thousands of bits of DNA into the host DNA until something sticks, never mind all the unknown mutations they may have caused during this process. Some GM foods have turned out to have longer term negative health effects which the original plant didn't have, this is what scares people. GM is a dangerous game.

And if taking a farmer to court after the wind blows some of their GM seed into the farmers crop isn't evil then I don't know what is.

"Excessive vitamin A consumption can lead to nausea, irritability, anorexia (reduced appetite), vomiting, blurry vision, headaches, hair loss, muscle and abdominal pain and weakness, drowsiness, and altered mental status" - Wikipedia

Hey watch where you're putting that stuff, it's like salt, you need a certain amount but too much is equally harmful. And the difference between too little and too much is a lot closer than with other vitamins like Vitamin C.

"Can you tell a 15kHz sine wave from a 15kHz sawtooth wave? A CD can't, because there are only three samples per crest and almost every teenager can easily hear 15kHz."

Just because teens (and my old ears) can hear 15kHz doesn't mean that they could hear the difference between a 15kHz sine wave and a 15kHz sawtooth wave, that is something that you'd need very high end equipment in order for the test (of that ability) to work.

I've stopped buying CDs, the cartel is killing the quality with their pointless loudness war. Unfortunately it's not the engineers choice, they'd most likely be out of a job if they didn't ramp up the volume like they're told to.

And what do the US govt have? Just an insistance that chemical weapons were used, but no evidence of who used them. And given the USAs recent actions I think Russia is on an equal footing with regards to trustworthiness.
