    technovore got a reaction from capnslipp in life expectancy of a WD black drive   
    so IF WD offers 5 years warranty on their black drives AND they allow up to 2400 hours/year like seagate then that's a total of:
    2400 hours/year * 5 years = 12000 hours.
    12000 hours - 7400 hours = 4600 hours left
     
    but that's only if I fellow your speculation @Hyrikan

    technovore got a reaction from GoodBytes in does a USB cable matter for smarphone charging?   
    Thank you for all your responses and for sharing your experiences.
    Verdict: 7 people claim that any cable charges just as well, 6 people claim that a "better" cable will charge faster.
    so I guess it isn't conclusive but my experience still stands, I'll be looking for a better cable..that audioquest one looks nice....

    Like HDMI cables, you need to get one with that is at least quad shielded, with at least 5% Silver-Plated LGC Conductors, and Solid 100% PSS, with specially designed cable and connector for charging. It is critical that when charging data passes through the wall adapter to your phone, that only 1's go through, and no 2's. 2's will affect your optimal experience of your phone.
    And this is why I highly recommend AudioQuest branded USB cable.

    They are a bit expensive, but definitely worth it. Right now, you have free shipping! So it might be a good time to buy a few of them in case you lose one.
    /s (my post is a joke. All terms used I have no idea what I was saying. Any half decent USB cable should be fine)

    I pirated windows 7 and 8 because after so many installs ( I nuke my system frequently) it wouldn't allow me to authenticate anymore. I called MS the last time and they allowed it but the next time I needed to force my key to work they wouldn't help me. So I stole it.

    I'm not sure you can. You should still be able to add it with the Gmail app?
     
    And the inbox app...I don't know. I guess it kinda looks cooler. I haven't been using it.

    facepalm* Mandating standards is not the way to go. Individualistic teaching works best as time has proven again and again. And first grade? That's going to be a major turn off. Trying to push logic on kids that young is not going to end well when it comes to actually garnering interest.

    I love the aesthetic of Vista. That was a time when Microsoft looked over at Mac OSX and thought "think what you like about the OS, but visually Apple know what they're doing. Let's bring some of that to Windows". And the graphics horsepower required just to show the desktop went up exponentially, but fast forward to 2014 and it's not an issue anymore. The worst integrated GPU is capable of Aero and I think it's a real shame that Windows 7 scaled back the glass effects as far as it did and Windows 8 removed them entirely in favour of solid colour, if translucent.
