Intel 34nm SSDs Lower Prices, Raise Performance 195
Vigile writes "When Intel's consumer line of solid state drives were first introduced late in 2008, they impressed reviewers with their performance and reliability. Intel gained a lot of community respect by addressing some performance degradation issues found at PC Perspective by quickly releasing an updated firmware that solved those problems and then some. Now Intel has its second generation of X25-M drives available, designated by a "G2" in the model name. The SSDs are technically very similar though they use 34nm flash rather than the 50nm flash used in the originals and reduced latency times. What is really going to set these new drives apart though, both from the previous Intel offerings and their competition, are the much lower prices allowed by the increased memory density. PC Perspective has posted a full review and breakdown of the new product line that should be available next week."

Does anyone have the piracy figures for June, 2009 yet? Considering the average quality of titles this year I wouldn't be surprised if piracy was also down about 31%.

This would be nice since Lancaster doesn't have a police department of it's own and is under the jurisdiction of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. I'd love to be able to catch LASD abusing their authority, which is their M.O. in that area unless you're a white suspect. However, I suspect this would be used exclusively for wrangling "suspected gang members" and helping R. Rex Parris (a shady lawyer) chase ambulances from above.

Associate the Warcraft, Diablo, and Starcraft franchises with Activision, and this will start making sense. Maybe the Taco Bell and AT&T billboards in Ironforge aren't too far off either.

Rule of law is a good thing; but a society heading down the path of "All that is not strictly and precisely forbidden is licit" is too sick to survive.
According to Dr. Egon Spengler, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive after the WWI.

The Chinese sign for peace is "" - a women in a house (not sure if that will show up on Slashdot, but you can just google for it). I think that's a well-chosen sign.
I thought "women in a house" was a mormon sign for peace.
