I think there should be no taboo for advertising condoms. We've had too many years of denying sexuality. Enjoy it as a natural part of our existence and don't saddle young people with guilt, shame, and blame from the ignorance of the past.

I guess the demise of magnetic drives is not as soon as I thought. I don't trust magnetic drives because of the enormous range of the MTBF rates. It's hard to get the real numbers from the manufacturers. That said, I've found that MTBF for SSDs may not be as lofty as we were led to believe. Speed it great, but reliability is more important. Backup of Backups is the only answer.
Personally, I'm skeptical about this new development . What happens if the seal is broken? Will the drive still perform? For most applications, 6TB is backup storage fodder where speed is less important than reliability.
Intel reveals 14nm PC, declares Moore's Law 'alive and well'
Yawn, I'm impressed. Now, how about improving the heatsink'/fan attachment to a d..mn motherboard. After years of suffering the non-Intel-igent process of jamming plastic, push-pins into a motherboard to the point of warping it, I'm building a sane, AMD computers that cost less and has an easy heat/sink attachment. We have more than enough power with AMD or Intel. Now it comes down to convenience.
