From the other comments it seems the problem is actually that "Apply" is off the screen. Just tested 9.10 rc and it's still a problem. Hitting tab a couple times works, but that's not obvious once you've already switched.

I have an SSD from a T400S installed in a Fujitsu P1630. It's the Toshiba variety that's been shipping recently (looks like they started producing them in June).

Small random writes are fast, similar to the Intel X25-M. Sequential read is slower, but sequential write is usually faster than Intel's drives. Overall a very good SSD.

Exploit Found to Brick Most HP and Compaq Laptops 294

Ian Lamont writes "A security researcher calling himself porkythepig has published attack code that can supposedly brick most HP and Compaq laptops. The exploit uses an ActiveX control in HP's Software Update. It would 'let an attacker corrupt Windows' kernel files, making the laptop unbootable, or with a little more effort, allow hacks that would result in a PC hijack or malware infection.' The same researcher last week outlined a batch of additional vulnerabilities in HP and Compaq laptops, for which HP later issued patches."
