    In reply to Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 Is World's First 2TB, 7200 RPM Hard Drive
    I'm part "Yay, more space on one disk, awesome" and part "Oh crap, that'll be a bugger if that goes down" unless you buy two n run em RAID.
    I'm getting wary of the very very big HDDs cos it's just so much data to lose in one chunk. and it takes a god damn age to back em up. I'd prefer faster HDD's rather than larger tbh.

    @deanbmmv: ([k]): I always buy 2 (4 WD Greens, 2 500gb Max’s, 2 300gb Seagate’s, 2 250gb Seagate’s, 2 120gb Seagate’s, etc), but at home the only RAID I use is R0. If I need to backup data I do not use RAID because that isn't what it's meant for and is a HORRIBLE backup solution (better than nothing I guess).

    The last 2 1TB's that I bought went in 2 boxes. 1 is for backup and the other is for use.

    @dingus: That was the first thing I thought when I saw the headline... Never again will I own a deathstar.
    To this day I'm still finding those buggers dying where I work. They are promptly replaced with either a WD or a Seagate.

    I have to be honest. As soon as I heard about SSD, I was over HDD. No offense HDD, you've done me well and you are cheap, but SSD is younger, hotter, and dare I say faster. And, pretty soon, she will be as cheap a date as you are. It's not you, it's me. I've outgrown you with your constant whining and delicacy. I need a quiet girl who likes to go fast and doesn't mind roughhousing every night. Wait, what was I talking about?

    We have a vending machine at my work that lets you tie your credit card to your fingerprint. I believe the way it works is you have to purchase $10 worth of credits to be able to use your fingerprint. I don't know how common these machines are in the US.

    The machine does show news stories, weather and commercials, but I don't know if you give up for your fingerprint if it will show content based on your age, gender etc.

    The thing that gets me interested is the fact that it knows who you are, and has access to your information. When that super-duper soda machine** it'd be neat if it could have a list of your most often purchased drinks... favorites... whether you like ice or not, etc. Preferences.

    This is great spending tons of R&D money on a product that rarely gets used. I mean when was the last time you bought something from a vending machine? High School?

    So if I murder someone, and I want a nice refreshing drink after a hard day of hammer wielding, I have to let them scan my hand?
