Or maybe they sell that data to another company that operates kind of like a collections agency, which takes on the 'risk' of storing the data, then repeatedly calls and offers to give them their AI friend back at an extortionate rate.

The data privacy side of this is an interesting conversation as well. Think of the information an employee or hacker could leak about a person after they spent some time with such an instance.

I'm guessing they avoid any arthropods.

Chocolate and feces isn't really a great analog.

Same. And its only really an issue for me because around here the home/SOHO IPv6 rollout is transparent to clients.

So people who have been trusting NAT to be a firewall wake up one day to their network being directly routable, and are none the wiser.

Depending on laptop, quite possibly.

If it's thermal throttling, then cooling is going to help.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for this comment. That was one of the red flags for me as well.

"Often suspected" is a deliberately misleading and alarmist way to present the current scientific data on the relationship between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease.

Clicking through your link gets some stats that agree with them [1], based on this paper [2]

Please find proper equipment to play them.

Using a microgroove stylus designed for vinyl will not do your shellac records any favours. Also the recordings will sound terrible.

There are several modern cartridges that support 78rpm stylii, and lots of vintage kit available cheap.

Also careful, they shatter somewhat easily, and like to get mouldy.

Any citation for this? I've never experienced this supposed effect.

Is the background animated or something? I'm not sure what's going on but this site is painfully slow to scroll.

It's pegging a core at 100%, and I've got an overclocked 2600k, so its nothing to sneeze at. Firefox on Linux.

I don't know about the new connector's durability, but if it breaks, just put in a new one.

I had to replace the dock connector in my iphone 4 and it cost me $30 and an hour of time.

They could produce an 'experience index' style number like windows does. It's the only effective way I can think of to distil an entire PC's performance into a single value.

edit: or maybe a triplet, CPU index, GPU index, Storage index.

> with fewer components they can function at temperatures as high as 85F. (Most servers are expected to keel over at 75F.)

I'm no datacentre guy, so can someone clarify if this is a typo? What kind of electronics start failing just above room temperature?

I'd think HDDs would be the most sensitive, but google said failures aren't well correlated to hdd temp (http://research.google.com/archive/disk_failures.pdf‎)

I'm getting a valid cert.
