Excellent post. Great information. I have a question about SSDs, though. Google has published their information about hard drive and SSD survival in their data centers. It can be viewed here: http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/servers-storage/googles-ss... So my question is how we mere mortals can deal with all the maintenance. It may well be that spinning hard drives are best for us.

I still can't figure out how one login can give me -3 points. Very impressive. How many logins do you have? Must be a hassle keeping them straight, and you just burned three of them for one reply. Hardly seems sustainable.

I thought the OP had a very reasonable suggestion. It would be very beneficial to me to have it as a profile setting. And if for me, then probably others, too. So only those who want it would change their behavior.

My only surprise is that they are not writing Asian lives matter instead. This article lumps Asians in with "white" - it would be interesting to see how the Asian new-hires dominate.

I wonder if it is just because FBI feels left out of the party. NSA is having all the fun. Maybe all of this is an interagency conflict.
Is this all a lie? They spy on all of us. Why do they need an iPhone?
Since we all know that they spy on us all the time, why all the fuss over a single iPhone?
