I think it might but only if the price comes down to where it is competitive to that of HDD's.  8)

The article is talking about HHDs though (Hybrid Hard Drives) not HDD (Hard Disk Drives). I liked the idea of hybrid drives, but I've never the opportunity to use one.

Hail.

The Hybrid, of course, it just a cross-over... a hand-holding for the bridge to complete solid state.

BTW... Solid State Hard Drives have been around for 10 years or more. Actually, a lot more than that. I had a a top-of-the-line HP calculator back in the late 70s fall into my hands, that had just that; a solid state hard drive, called Permanent Memory, which is, of course, what a solid state hard drive is.

We kept expecting that to filter down to the public so we could get rid of the floppy drives, (never had hard drives, except for mainframes, 1 or 2 megs).

I think this is about to change.

The real question you have to ask yourself, though, is; Why have they decided to give us this, as new technology, now?

You see this type of thing all the time, re-branding old technology as new.

I remember back in the mid 80s I met a fellow who had been very high up in the military during WWII and he had access to military training films from WWI and WWII that were never made available to the public. He was in charge of those films and had taken copies for himself.

He had retired from the service and was instructing at the university that I was attending then. You would not believe the technologies that they had then. It surely changed my mind about how in the dark we, the general public, are kept, with respect to technologies.

We think that we are on the cutting edge all of the time... Do not be fooled by the marketing and the media. The sole reason for their existence is to con you. (Look up the root origin of the word "con" if you can find a good book on etymology or philology. You will never regret it if you do, and follow through the trains of thought that it points you in... to conclusion).

To continue...

Everything that we are given, we are given because it is obsolete, and because it serves a specific purpose for those above us. I kid you not.

All the same, however it comes out, I'll be reluctant to risk my precious information on a device that can be wiped in a flicker... or by a flicker for that matter. 8)

I'm sure that there are usual safe guards, combined with a barrage of marketing, petting the public into a shape, primping and pruning them to accept a must-be new technology, always providing you with a minuscule enhancement... the sugar with the meds.

But I can easily imagine all the hackers making just the right virus that will send the magic code that makes all your hard work just disappear... like a  s-p-r-i-n-k-l-e  of black powder ignited on white tissue... ** PUFF!** followed by the mandatory; What the fu**??

Not me.

No way.

Nevertheless, it will proliferate....

CDRWSel

Probably not HD drive, nor HHD due to the low number of supported write operation.
Each address can support near 100000 write operation and this is why Eeepc 900 and other PC's using SSD with windows or linux etc... have no swap file configured and like the recommendation from OCZ on they site, "defrag" should not be used because it reduces SSD life time (be carefull ! and don't set options like erase all cookies and temporary files at firefox close time)

What about the "con" in the word conservative  :D  ...confounding into submission the USA (and the world) population with their fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) propaganda a la MS ???

The word "con" wherever you find it, (by itself, or as part of a larger word), means the same thing, and it's not what you think it is, though profoundly more disturbing once thought about.

Many of the ancient books, (and even the scriptures, though I'm not at all religious), talk of a time when human kind all spoke one language, (regardless of race), and worked in unison, to the betterment of each and every individual. Then the gods, (that is, the elite of the day), looked down from on high, (from their ivory towers), in mortal fear of those below, (those below actually being smarter, and more able, than those above),

And the elite spoke of the potential of those below, amongst themselves... in fear. They constructed a plan to screw up their progress.

Quote"Behold the people is one, and they have all one language; now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Let us go down and there, confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

That's pretty clear.

When one looks into the origins of words of languages, you can see that, at their roots, lies one common language.

L.A. Waddell, the great British explorer, (and contributor to the Encyclopedia Britannica), in the 1800s and early 1900s, proved this in his writings. He did tremendous research into the roots of civilization and found astounding things. (No, not extra-terrestrials, for those who watch too much TV.) He proved in his books, that all modern day languages originated from common ancestry and in particular his book "Aryan Origin of the Alphabet" Luzac & Co. 1927, if you can find a copy. The libraries that haven't been raped of their wealth, should have a copy. Also, you may, if you are lucky, find a print-on-demand copy online.

You see, individuality is of prime importance, for reasons too profound to go into in this forum. Everyone feels this inside. However, today, this has been confused in us and the direction-to-follow made unclear.

Our children today, are being taught group-think instead of individuality, and the teachers, (that is, those that aren't resisting), are disciplining, or ostracizing, those students that have, and state, their own opinions. "It's all for the common good and for mother earth, you see." Well, I do see, but I surely do not see that. I see a "con" of massive proportions.

Look into John Taylor Gatto and his work based on this time as an award-winning teacher.

Look into "Outcome Based Education", (OBE), (pushed by the U.N.), and Charlotte Iserbyt's excellent work. She was appointed by the Reagan Administration to administrate part of the U.S. educational system. For them it backfired. But for us, she is a boon.

You need to know what they are doing. Do not sit on your hands.

To continue...

When people get together into groups, they are able to do more. This has been long known to be true. But a certain type of mentality comes over groups for a time, and individuality is put aside, and they agree to things, (like giving up rights and following a temporary leader), in the face of a significant adversary. This is a good survival instinct from who knows how far back... certainly millions of years. But It is meant to be a temporary measure to be dropped when the threat is gone.

The problem is, those that lead us now, realized a long time ago, that they would need to perpetuate the persistent illusion of a threatening adversary in order to get you too keep on accepting a leader, and to keep on giving up rights. Until you, (us), eventually have nothing, and they have everything.

Look at the insane laws, (slipped in as temporary, but still around), that have been passed on every significant nation on this earth, all passed in just the last few years. Need I mention them? "The Patriot Act I", "The Patriot Act II", (U.S.), "The Omnibus Bill", (Canada), and on and on. The UK has one, as do Germany and France and Australia et al, in equivalency.

Look at the massive swelling of armies in every nation! Against whom? Against you. You are are their terrorist. WE are the terrorists in their eyes. The war is against us. You block them, We block them, from getting what they want. "Of course, there really isn't anything going on, so there's no reason to look around you." Don't you believe it.

The world has changed drastically from just ten years ago and is changing even now, and at an accelerated rate. We have adapted, and accepted this, as the new normal. It is not normal. Society is on a downhill slide. And we are being both pushed and pulled, all the way.

Normal life includes self-development, common care and compassion for your fellow man, to the betterment of all.

The problem is, like most of our natural, human instincts, they have been fu*ked with. Some instincts have been grossly exaggerated and corrupted, (porn), while others suppressed, under the banner of being stupid and useless; the domain of the weak, like  compassion, (which is a higher, more fully developed form of love).

Think of their world as a balloon filled with decease, destruction, perversion, enslavement and death. If you insult or hurt someone, disregard another's pain as "I'm glad it's not me", walk away from those in need, turn a blind eye the killing of others, or please no, kill anyone, you inflate that balloon, pushing your natural, preferred, world out of the way in accommodation. Soon the balloon will be all there is and the coming generations will know of no other. Do you want this?

Now, look at what's going on on TV, books, newspapers, the movies and the video games. What do you see? Violence.

Every conceivable trick in the book is being used to make you think of ways to disregard the needs of others, to excuse wrong behavior of the most malicious kind like accepting torture as being necessary or even "just", or being just the "right thing to do".

No one checks out these things anymore. No one thinks about it. They are kept so busy in their world(s) that they just accept all this crap as being a normal development of human kind, and, if this is the way we are, then so be it. All in submissive acceptance of their own demise.

Let me make this clear. We are actually born with tremendous freedom to shape our own lives. This world is exactly the way we make it, either through our negative actions or through our indifference.

If you want it to be a better world then make it so. Make it into a world of profound beauty, worthy of living in, where all are free and equal. And don't appoint others. Do it yourself.

Those that lead us want this to be, (and have all but made it), a world of materialism and corruption, for they can climb to the top of this system, as it is their system, designed to raise them, the corrupt to the very top, in a pyramidal form.

Everyone; Check this out for yourselves. Don't read the junk books put out by the mis-leaders, find the ones written by those behind the scenes. If you do not know who, or what books to read remember that the "Private Message" system here works well.

But before you even begin, you have to ask yourself if you will accept proof.

Most people will not.

They do not want things to be the way it is. And they will not even look at it.  (don't worry, be happy). This has been impressed into us so we accept this world as a natural course of humankind, with a shroud-like inevitability.

This is not the natural evolution of humans, nor of society.

All Christians have been negated in a single strike of genius. "We don't have to do anything for the Lord is coming to save us." Giving them the perfect reason to sit on their hands and... do nothing. Like sheep. More like lambs to the slaughter. The leaders of ALL religion are well trained, and know how to dumb-down the masses. Note that last word.

And understand that each religion has their own version of this. All religions have been done in. The Muslims are the last on the list, hence they are the focus of the worlds powers today.

After they have been crushed, those powers will be coming after us. There is no way to justify the massive arms/army build up just to deal with those few poor people in the middle-east, who pose no threat to anyone and certainly not to us. They have almost nothing.

Look around.

See the world.

Feel it.

It becomes obvious once you snap out of the daze that they have wrapped around our, (our), heads.

I know of the power that humankind has born into each and every one us, for I witness it everyday, even here on this forum as people step forward to help others.

Here, it is for the smaller things, as a vestige of our potential. The spirit of greatness lies dormant in us all, now compressed into an ever shrinking sphere.

We all have within us, by the nature of our births, a kernal of great genius, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional... waiting for you to empower it, as a natural progression of your live.

it wants to shine with a brightness that can burn away the smirking, twisted grins of those that spit down on us from above. Everyone who reads this can feel it inside of themselves, knowing what I say is true... as they read these very words. But confusion prevails.

Do you want to see this spirit die? Do you want to allow that brilliance the life it... no you!... were born to have?

Surely it is worth some effort.

Listen to what they say on it themselves. J.R. Platt, contemporary American biophysicist and elite flunky.

Quote"The present generation is the hinge of history... We may now be in the time of the most rapid change in the whole evolution of the human race, either past or to come... The world has now become too dangerous for anything less that Utopia."

By "Utopia" they mean their utopia, not ours, where they are master and you are a rock-stupid slave, (genetics) who can't think to know his situation so freedom is not possible.

"Too dangerous" means if we wake up we'll, as G. Bush senior puts it, "Hang us from the lamp posts."

Dean Saunders,of the San Francisco Medical School, at the Control of the Mind, (he means your mind), symposium:

QuoteThe great technological skill and ingenuity of the modern chemist has provided the medical scientist and the physician with an abundant array of new chemicals compounds.. which influence the central nervous system to distort, accelerate, or depress the mental state and behavioral characteristics of the individual... which can be used for the control of the mind in the majority."

How can you bypass the bodies defenses? Vaccinations. Flu shots. Are they pushing either? More strongly now than ever, as their agenda accelerates.

I continue...


Quote... Here at our disposal, to be used wisely or unwisely, is an increasing array of agents that manipulate human beings... It is now possible to act directly on the individual to modify his behaviour instead of, as in the past, indirectly through modification of the environment. This, then, constitutes a part of what Aldous Huxley has called 'The Final Revolution'..."
By "modification of the environment", they mean the introduction of radio, TV and computers into the household.

The meaning of The Final Revolution is obvious.

Evidence like this abounds in books that they KNOW you will not want to read. They are stifling, dusty, boring, and seems way too much like work. And I have read truck loads of them.

Understand why I have chosen the path of research that I have.

Understand why I put significant effort into these posts.

I've marked my line and I make my stand.

And believe me when I say, that you will have to do it too.

Find out where that line is. Find out what is on each side.

Then you will know, beyond a doubt, to which side that you belong.

Then get off the that fence and come alive.

Do not be "conned" into thinking that life is petty and worthless, and that your existance should be shadowy, it is supposed to be anything but!

Just as an addendum to my previous post...

In 1961 the University of California San Francisco Medical Center organized a symposium on Control of the Mind. There have been many of these symposiums. Also, note the date and how much further along this has come by now.

At the first session, Professor Holger Hyden of Goeteborg University made the headlines in the San Francisco press despite the fact that it was most likely designed to be disregarded by the press. Nonetheless, this made it out and the following passage created a sensation for obvious reasons;

Quote"It is not difficult to imagine the possible uses to which a government in a police-controlled state could put this knowledge. For a time they would subject the public to hard conditions. Suddenly the hardship would be removed, and the at the same time, a substance would be added to the tap water and the mass-communications media turned on..."

Do you know of any substances that has been added to tap water?
Do you believe what the media tell you?

All these things I've written about here, are given to us by the main stream media, usually, but not always, hidden behind the business section, in small type or under some insufferably boring title that demands you skip over it. You see, while they have to tell you legally, they do not have to ensure that you...

          a) ...see it or
          b) ...get the point/significance.

I collect a lot of these news articles and make them available to those who wish to know, on one of my web sites.

At the ends of these articles, I place a link to the original site that carried/s the article.

Individually they show a piece of the puzzle, but collectively they paint a picture of what's going on, on a global scale.

They are meant to go hand in hand with my previous posts on this dire matter, both here and elsewhere.

You can visit and read them, all on one place, if you wish.

This particular web site can be reached by clicking on my signature graphic at the end of any, and all of my posts...

... for those of you that have not all ready visited, that is.  ;)

Sorry about the off-topic in your post BWG, I was blocking the IP addresses of some crackers, porno referrers/bouncers, spammers, and "skiddies" (whatever those are but they use scripts --often hosted on an different site-- to attempt an intrusion), was in a bad mood due to the extra work those crackers make me do, and just happened to read my friend BenDragon's reply.

Agreed.

The psychological technique to do this has been known amongst the scum-that-floats-on-the-top for a long time. And they have, in a show of self-defeating arrogance, written about it in their own books-that-they-keep-from-the-public.

From Herrmann Goering...


Quote""Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of their leaders. It's easy. All you have to do is tell them they're being attacked by terrorists and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism. It works the same in every country."
They never change their techniques of control, once they found one that works. This knowledge is part of an ancient science of population control. A science, (and I mean "science" in the full sense of the word), that has been kept from the populace... for obvious reasons.

And that isn't the only science being withheld.

All of these techniques should be taught in the schools. They need to be common knowledge. They need to be at the core of the every individual's mental defense, and as a key indicator as to what the leaders are truly up to.

The fact that this stuff is not taught the kids at the earliest of ages, makes it perfectly clear, as to what those-that-control-the-schools, are really up to. Remember; you have no say whatsoever, in what your kids are taught, and who it is that teaches them.

Let me give you a hint...

From
Alvin Toffler's "The Third Wave"...
Quote"As work shifted out of the fields and the home, moreover, children had to be prepared for factory life. The early mine, mill, and factory owners of industrializing England discovered, as Andrew Ure wrote in 1835, that it was "nearly impossible to convert persons past the age of puberty, whether from rural or from handicraft occupations, into useful factory hands." If young people could be prefitted in to the industrial system, it would vastly ease the problems of industrial discipline later on. The result was another central structure of all Second Wave societies: Mass education.

Built on the factory model, mass education taught basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, a bit of history and other subjects. This was the "overt curriculum." But beneath it lay an invisible or "covert curriculum" that was far more basic. It consisted - and still does in most industrial nations - of three courses: one in punctuality, one in obedience, and one in rote, repetitive work. Factory labor demanded workers who showed up on time, especially assembly-line hands. It demanded workers who would take orders from management hierarchy without questioning. And it demanded men and women prepared to slave away at machines or in offices, performing brutally repetitious operations.
Thus from the mid-nineteenth century on, as the Second Wave cut across country after country, one found a relentless educational progression: Children started school at a younger and younger age, the school year became longer and longer, (in the United States it climbed 35 percent between 1878 and 1956), and the number of years of compulsory schooling irresistibly increased.
Mass public education was clearly a humanizing step forward. As a group of mechanics and workingmen in New York City declared in 1829, "Next to life and liberty, we consider education the greatest blessing bestowed upon mankind." Nevertheless, Second Wave schools machined generation after generation of young people into a pliable, regimented work force of the type required by electromechanical technology and the assembly line.
Taken together, the nuclear family and the factory-style school formed part of a single integrated system for the preparation of young people for roles in industrial society. In this respect, too, Second Wave societies, capitalist or communist, North or South, were all alike."
The above taken from my web site.

Here's another from the monster Bertrand Russell's "The Impact Of Science On Society" speaking on "Propaganda"

Quote"... been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. Of these the most influential is what is called "education." Religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the Press, the cinema and the radio play an increasing part."

And his equally disturbing quote from the same book...

Quote"...education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, through the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished.
Any of this strike a chord?

and more...

Quote"Diet, injections, and injunctions, will combine, fro a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will be come psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tel them that they are so.
That was written in the late 40s. Any of it sound contemporary?

Diet          = GMO foods, fluoridation, aspartame, MSG. et al.
Injections = Vaccinations... increasing by the month. Kids these days, do not stand a chance.
injunctions = insane new laws.

Any of this sound familiar?

Has any new laws been passed in your area?

Now I could go on for months with this... no exaggeration. The amount of evidence is staggering... if you know where to look.

Understand, that all the above has already been achieved. You have to understand this.

We are in what Aldous Huxley has called 'The Final Revolution". It is a revolution of the masters over the masses.

Knowledge is the key to unlock this hideous form of control.

Use it.

And let me tell you this.

I've locked horns with these bastards for years.

And I can make this statement free of the fear of ever being proven wrong;

          Every person on that is on this forum is smarter than they are. Every... single... one.

One of their tricks is to make you feel like they are some sort of super-intellect. They are not.
The only thing that they are is ruthless.

The average person would not DARE to think of doing the insane things that these scum contemplate each day.

We care for each other... on some level. Those at the top can slaughter tens of thousands and sleep soundly. And they do. You can see it right now by turning on that great-distorter-of-minds, the TV. You'll see many poor, poor people being killed while those at the top laugh. Why is this insane slaughtering given to you as dinner-time entertainment? So that you will become used to it. So that the natural horror that you feel if left alone, becomes too frequent and your mind becomes numb to it. Then they can inflict their horrors free from interference from you. Think about that.

You and I would go out of our minds if we did what they did! They laugh.

It isn't a strength that they have; it is insanity. Psychiatrists call it Psychopathy. Look up that word. Understand the characteristics that denote it. Look at your leaders. You'll see it.

The trick of the elect(ed), is to make you think that they are something that they are not. They make you think that they are super-smart. They are not.

At the very moment that people come to realize this, they will also come to realize that they can scrape these encrustations off of their own minds, and set their own course of life, steering to the right path. It really is that simple.

You pay for the machines that they use to screw you up. They know that you would not accept it any other way.

The problem is, the incredible amounts of psychological control that the scum dump down on top of us. This will stop the moment that we decide, and that's the key word, decide that it will.

Have you had enough?

Their grip upon you exists only in your mind. If you control your mind, then they cannot control you. Do you control your mind? Don't you want to? Don't you feel that you should?

Fu*k them! Grab your own rudder. Steer your own course!

While you still can.

And believe me; You absolutely can do it!

They make you think that you can't. You can!

Now, I'm not talking civil unrest here. You can't deflate a balloon by filling it. Understand how the system works, just in your locality, it always starts at the bottom. Politicians are there to put forward the will of the people. It is our job to make sure that they are doing their jobs.

Just get together a few of you and go and make them do their jobs, putting in what your locality perfers, or tell them that they will be replaced. Then put in one of your own.

Demand to know what organizations that they belong to. If they don't tell you, out they go, in go one of you.

They want you to be a child.
Children play games. They aren't responsible.

Look up the term "child of the state". It means more than you think.

They do not want you to grow up... to become an adult, to do adult things. Adults are responsible.
"Don't worry your heads of adult stuff, it will give you a headache, let us handle all that nasty ol' stuff for you."

HA! I don't think so.

Adults are responsible... for their family, community and those in it... and for the direction of their own lives.
And they are responsible for each other. That's the only way it can work. If someone is being persecuted, then you are being persecuted.

When one is dragged outside, all of you go outside. The police will go away. I've got videos of large numbers of soft-spoken adults, shooing away police, police who had guns out. The people told the cops to go away, they were not welcomed and eventually, they put their guns away, got in the cars, and drove away.

You see, we, by design, control us. They only control us if we do nothing. They feel emboldened then, and they want more. It stops when we decide.

We can still do that now. We might not be able to if we let them continue.

Are you a man? Or are you a little boy? Only you can decide that.

You have a right to be indignant. It means that you are still functioning as designed in defiance of oppression. We need to help those around us that are struggling under that weight.

The U.S. is being used as the hammer to smash those in the middle east and Georgia. But this is a world-wide agenda, involving all of the western nations.

With respect to hijacking threads, I think this message needs to get out... and to proliferate. The time has come.

I think everyone sees that, and the importance of it.
