From techcrunch.com: ...Silverlight still remains popular with 11% of Chrome users launching it at least once per month.
What I want to know is how does Google know this? Does Chrome phone home every time a plug-in is launched?

There is a user setting for "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports" I suspect they get a lot of data from that.
|
|
|
|

I thought that was for when it crashed, and isn't it disabled by default? If that is the metric the stat is based on, then for all we really know the percentage could be higher or lower than 11%. Then again, this is Google, so I'm sure they know I'm typing this right now. If you don't hear from me in a week, call for help.

How do you know they haven't prepared this reply and sent it on my behalf

Because Google would use a period or question mark to end a sentence.

Smoking will not only damage your health but also your computer, as e-cigarettes manufactured in China are reportedly being used to spread malicious software through the USB connection used to charge the device. Those things are bad for you, you know

Why would you plug one into a computer? Plenty of other USB ports available.
|
|
|
|

Because the PSU in your PC is almost certainly more efficient than the ones in standalone wallwarts.

It's just as well those projects to deliver networking through the same socket as mains electricity a few years ago never took off, or we'd never be able to charge anything safely.

what about http://lifehacker.com/five-best-external-battery-packs-509802431[^]?
That way you might only check for safty once, then use it as "firewall"

Well it is possible to do networking through the same socket as mains electricity? I'm using it at home as I don't have an ethernet port in my office room and I didn't want to either have a cable lying accross the whole apartment or manually (or pay for) pulling a cable. I never had any problems with it so far

Massive advances in NAND flash storage could eventually render the old spinning drive obsolete. 10TB SSD? Yes, please
|

No thanks, I still don't trust SSD's and still have to learn the proper way to do backups.

I love SSD, but I am a bit reluctant about the newest things.
I.e. In software I usually wait until SP 1 is released, then I start thinking on upgrade
So once they are in the markt for a while and have been suficiently tested... then I would love to have one.
Atm having one with 512 Gb and it is lovely fast (my 4+ years old laptop 2x i7 Core with 6 Gb RAM compiles faster than other collegues newest laptop with 4x Core and 8 or 10 Gb RAM)

Quote: Intel hasn't decided which market segment will get this "breakthrough" technology first. SSD started out on the consumer side and worked its way into the data center slowly, because it had to prove its reliability and stability for the data center market, which has very little patience or tolerance for data loss.
More elephant droppings I see. The cost of maximum capacity SSDs will guarantee that the 10GB model is an enterprise only model for the foreseeable future.
From AnandTech editor Kristian Vättö[^]:
Quote: Manufacturers like Intel and Samsung are not really interested in 2TB client SSDs yet because they are such a small niche (yes, I've talked to them). We'll probably see some 2TB SSDs next year as Phison's S10 supports up to 2TB and so will the SF-3700 when it finally comes.

Looking back at my experience here are some things I’d do differently if I was learning to code today. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

I'd become a psychologist.
It's pretty much the same thing. No standards, constantly fixing someone else's f*ckups, re-writing processes using metadata, etc...

Brilliant! You'd even add, "no way to prove the tests aren't all green" to the result.

Technical debt is often the elephant in the room that we choose to ignore, but we do so at our own peril. Technical debt is directly responsible for many of the problems we have building high-quality software quickly, especially as companies move to more agile methodologies.
Technical debt? Never heard of it.
