I guess in a sense you could think of TRIM as to SSDs as defragmenting is to HDDs. It’s not the same process, obviously. This article explains it pretty well: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/inside-the-ssd-rev...

The first question that comes to mind is could anyone gain access to your computer. Roommate, girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, etc.? As far as I know, there is no way to remove the IP address from Google’s account activity records. Even if someone spoofed your IP address to log in, the responses from Google would go to your actual IP address (i.e.

Pffft. No, it won’t work, at least not as intended. I don’t live in the UK now, but I used to live in London. If I was still there and faced with this, I would opt in for adult content just on general principle.

There are 3 different classes of Bluetooth devices, and there is a big difference between them as far as range is concerned. Class 1 has the longest range; up to 100 meters. Class 2 has a range of about 10 meters, and the lowest power bluetooth, Class 3, is limited to less than 10 meters.

They are similar and both can be treated as if they are seperate drives connected to your machine, but VHD (virtual hard disk) files are specifically designed for MS virtualization solutions like Windows Virtual PC or Hyper-V.

From what I've heard, there isn't likely to be a Xbox LIVE Gold subscription subsidized version, at least not initially, which would nix the low-end, ~$300 price point. $499 is the likely retail price.

Companies can have a legitimate concern about a potential employee's social media presence. A civil rights organization, for instance, probably wouldn't want to hire someone that constantly posted racist material on Facebook.

YouTube doesn't require Chrome to play, so I'm not sure why it is telling you that. It may be suggesting it since Google=YouTube=Chrome, but I know with 100% certainty you don't have to use Chrome. It does require an updated version of Flash, and not just Shockwave, but it sounds like you have that covered.

After bitcoin's loss in value earlier this week, I don't know if you are still interested, but if you are: How to mine bitcoins: http://techcrunch.com/2013/04/08/how-to-mine-bitcoins/ How to get them the old fashioned way (buy them): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_(the_newbie_version)

I grew up in North Carolina, so I may be a touch biased. In the public schools, our teachers would bring in small TVs during the ACC tourney and leave it on all day with the sound off. I did ok in school, got into a couple decent colleges, and turned out more or less ok. It's a minor thing. Why try to take every bit of joy out of work?
