Heh. Cellphone ERP (effective radiated power) is limited to 600mW. It should also be noted that this radiation is omnidirectional. Microwave ovens, on the other hand, have a power output of 600w+, and this radiation is very directional and concentrated into a small space. It's not like a cell phone...

I can do whatever I want... I never said they couldn't do whatever they wanted. I just don't admire it, in the same way I don't admire the artwork of Jackson Pollock.

No offence but you didn't get the point, but that’s alright. :) You are saying is that it is wrong to question the merit of other people's actions because they were being "creative". As an intentionally provocative example, when they created a mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, some of us may be pois...

Its about creating something, the creative process which is important, expressing oneself if you will, something unique; be it a car, motor cycle or computer matters not. Creating something and expressing yourself is not a waste of time, that’s what’s life is all about…living! You could call ...

If you partition an SDD in two, you are not rewarded with twice as many memory controllers, so it won't operate twice as fast.

Sounds a lot like the reasons people give for getting tattoos, which is another waste of a person's time.

Here is the epilogue from the orinigal Guttmann paper (written in '96) that spawned all this hullabaloo ( http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html ): Pseudodoxia epidemica , isn't it?

It's real easy to look back on a course of action, and criticize what was done, leading to the current state of affairs.

I dont know a lot about quakers (apart from their oats) Yes, those were developed by the famous quaker, William Penn.

Since most memory is really 200mhz internally, and no system runs at a 1:1 memory to fsb ratio of over 200mhz, usually, the actual throughput of most memory is quite a bit less. So SATA 2 is closer to 10% of the ram's speed. (somehow I was converting bits to bytes in the calculations) Hmm, DDR-2's ...

640Kb of memory should be enough for anybody, et cetera, et cetera. 640kB was enough at one time, just as 300GB is overkill for most people today. No-one is trying to limit the size of future drives, so your comment makes no sense really. Those guys with 1 meg of ram knew a good thing when they saw...

The truth is, if we could eliminate the cosmic background radiation we would because it has an irritating white noise.

Yes, but, unlike a hard drive, I cannot easily disconnect my arms and install newer, faster ones.

They have a sculpture of one of those things in Woking. It looks like they repossessed some street lights that were involved in car collisions.

I use an Icybox IB-266, which fits in a 3.5" bay. Keep in mind it is deeper than a standard HD however.

Water-cooled hard drives aren't new. In my ill-thought experiment in water-cooling, I used some SilentStar HD enclosures in the Coolermaster Stacker. They were essentially blocks of copper that you wedged the HD between in an aluminium case lined with foam. http://img172.imagevenue.com/loc864/th_779...
