Seagate newly upgraded Momentus XT drive now sports 750GB of storage and 70 percent faster performance. Seagate says the drive boasts boot-up and a stanley usa pplication launch speeds comparable to full SSDs despite only having 8GB of solid-state storage鈥攁ll for only $245. Released last yea stanley flasche r, the first-generation Momentus drive promised PC users what sounded like a miracle: they could have the blazing-fast performance of SSDs at a fraction of the cost and without the endemic reliability problems. Solid state drives are fast, yes, but they fail and lose capacity faster than conventional hard drives. SSDs are also far more expensive than HDDs. https://youtube/watch v=wXHNVsPdLYI Seagate solution to this problem involved making a solid state hybrid drive. Translation: a bulk of the drive capacity relies on a good, old-fashioned hard drive. The key, however, is Seagate Adaptive Memory technology that learns your behavior and stores stanley thermos the most used files in the solid state portion of the drive to take advantage of the faster performance and stores everything else on the lower-priority spinning-plate hard drive. The technology is so good that it minimizes the number of times that you write to the solid state storage, increasing its lifespan. Seagate even guarantees the drive for five years.

For the first time ever, researchers stanley drinking cup will conduct a detailed study of the DNA of a mass killer. By taking a closer look at Adam Lanza g stanley quencher enomic data, scientists are hoping to discover the potential biological underpinnings for extreme violence. But given the diverse nature of mental illness and the complex interplay between genes and the environment, what do the scientists really hope to discover that we don ;t know already And is this really a sensible approach to preventing similar attacks As Gina Kolata reports in the New York Times, researchers from the University of Connecticut have very quietly announced their plans to conduct the analysis.

But it assumed that the research team will be looking for genetic configurations that might be associated with mental illness 鈥?especially the ones that could increase the risk for extreme violence. The announcement has already been met w stanley cups ith controversy. The primary concern is that the work could stigmatize people who have never committed a crime 鈥?but who have the same genetic profile as a mass killer. Kolata writes: Everything known about mental illness, these skeptics say, argues that there are likely to be hundreds of genes involved in extreme violent behavior, not to mention a variety of environmental influences, and that all of these factors can interact in complex and unpredictable ways.

We already know that Texas Governor and U.S. presidential candidate Rick Perry is hostile towards science. Did you know he also doesn ;t give a rat ass about your health Perry is flouting the s stanley cup cientific process and public safety by pushing Texas aut stanley cup horities to be lenient with their oversight of adult stem cell therapies. Does that make you think Rick Perry cares about patients and that he pro-medicine It absolutely should not and here why: 1. Supporting ADULT stem cell research is a way for Perry to appeal to his pro-life constituents w stanley flask ho are against embryonic stem cell research because they think it kills babies. 2. The vast majority of the treatments he advocating have not been tested or proven scientifically to successfully treat anything. And they carry dangerous risks including tumors and death. 3. Outfits that offer these therapies using either adult or embryonic stem cells are often scams perpetrated by assholes preying on desperate patients. There are more than 200 such clinics worldwide. Perry received an adult stem cell therapy himself in August for his bad back from his friend Dr. Stanley Jones. Jones runs a clinic in conjunction with Korean RNL Bio, which is under investigation by Korean authorities because two recipients of their adult stem cell therapy died. And with the FDA threatening the crack down on the unregulated therapies, Jones is sending snippy emails to the Texas Medical Board: Please d Mgjm Chemists Outrun Laws in War on Synthetic Drugs

In its infancy, the web essentially served one purpose: to provide its users with a platform to self-publish material that could be accessed by anyone with a connection. It easy to take that ability for granted today, but to a kid from Minnesota who had dreamed for years of one day starting his own music publication, it was revolu stanley cups uk tionary. So here we are, in 2011. Music is either free or pirated with ease, nobody sells any records, the major labels were all kicked in the dick, and our phones can hold most of the music we ;ll ever need to listen to, ever. So who needs criticism Hasn ;t Twitter and all that stuff democratized everything No. Pitchfork reigns as music preeminent voice. How By trolling everyone.
