If you choose to ignore that, it's up to you but don't act as though I haven't already properly informed you because it fits your objective of discrediting me. -- Silver Slimer GNU/Linux is Communism "You know you are giving communism a bad name by use that .signature!" - Pneuma |

He's a troll, nothing more. As the "Slimer" should clue one in, instantly. A troll wouldn't provide evidence of his claims as I always do. Every time you consider something 'trolling,' I always post a link with evidence of my claim. Meanwhile, you and your GNUtard friends never bother to post any kind of evidence of anything even when this is requested by people, preferring to get your friends to gang up on whoever requests this evidence and insult him ad nauseum until he goes away. Face it, GNU/Linux *IS* Communism and anyone who is aware of what Marx preached as well as what RMS preaches (I am, you apparently are not) would see the similarities. -- Silver Slimer GNU/Linux is Communism "You know you are giving communism a bad name by use that .signature!" - Pneuma |

What I'm waiting for, is what difference the new helium-filled drives are going to make. As they'll be sealed, and the field failure rate characteristics just might be entirely different. I'm more than a little curious, as to why the helium wants to stay inside one of those drives :-) That'll be the magic part of the design. Well I had worked 10 years with ultra-high vacuum systems on electron microscopes. We had to open them up from time to time for cleaning and/or replacing parts. Plus there were accessories that also used independent vacuum chambers. And it isn't really tough to make something large or small to hold a vacuum for decades. After all, incandescent light bulbs and CRTs are always under a vacuum. And there are watches that can handle 300 feet of water pressure without leaking. So keeping something in or out (including helium) isn't really all that hard. -- Bill Dell Latitude Slate Tablet 128GB SSD ('12 era) - Thunderbird v12 Intel Atom Z670 1.5GHz - 2GB RAM - Windows 7 Pro SP1 |
