Interested in the results of this. Yesterday I reported a Facebook post that said "someone has to assassinate [American politician] ..". Today got a replay from the Facebook moderators that this was an okey dokey message. Well then..

Why are there 2 online service options? I'm doing external drive + online service, but have only used my external drive to restore from failure, so I chose that.

2560 x 1440 is a wee bit cheaper though: https://global.ebay.com/search/?Query=2560+1440

I might be rather mistaken about this, but I've heard South Korea has some contracts where they are sort of grandfathered in from the time that they were still marked as a development country (1997).

Truth be told, that 7x speedup was only in a part where they rewrote their autogenerated C# code to use some special construct that only exists in C# but not in Dalvik/Java. On a micro benchmark of that particular part they got a 7x speedup.

Basically they found a special case where the C# compiler knows a trick that Java doesn't do, then pointed out such a case exists in AOSP and tweaked that source code file.

*grin* On OS X Ctrl+H is still backspace.

A format is not enough. You have to do a ATA Secure Erase to be really sure. But, a format or full empty space overwrite should make sure somebody will have to disassemble the drive to actually get to the data remnants. Since the visible virtualized drive part will of course remain empty, else the 'contract' of storage would be broken.

Actually that URL now shows "403 Forbidden"

Western fashion? Look at Japan, South Korea, India.

It doesn't appear learning hurts the development, as much as the diminished amount of exposure to the sun when you keep people indoors. Low vitamin D gives all kinds of odd immune problems, muscle problems, hormone problems, brain problems, as it is needed for a lot of biological activity.

We need to ask manufacturers to make their devices outdoor proof.

Usually, my phone (N900) lasts 12 to 36 hrs. While downloading torrents though, It only lasts 4-6 hrs. My record low is 2 hrs: downloading w/ torrents, running asterisk, postgresql, apache, some python scripts and 3 browsers (fennec, opera and microb). It was a great replacement when my laptop broke though.

You insensitive Clod! I'm using a bunch of punch-cards that my computers (people - slaves) process for me.

We don't have fall you insensitive clod!

The problem of not having a competent SSD, or good OS. Possibly also, lack of remaining HDD slots or SATA/power connectors.

This one is less convenient (not a standard SATA format) but faster.
