I've got a 500gb hybrid drive in my main work laptop as well, it seems okay, wouldn't say it is hugely quick, but I've noticed a bit of a difference, cost effective though Work laptop is a latitude E6240 + 8GB ram + 500gb hybrid, linux Support laptop is a asus UL30A + 8GB ram + 160GB ssd, win7 (OCZ ssd Sata 2) Ran a benchmark on the asus (running on battery and not mains) [ATTACH=CONFIG]135137[/ATTACH]

Can I mention the sticker..... Oh wait best not
-
Yeah, past 160GB they went up to a silly price
-
I'm running a low end, OCZ SSD and while it is smallish, it is definitely quick and I've not had an issue so far with it.
-
Don't see the issue, it will be under 6ft of soil....

Mac is BSD based (darwin), which is very similar indeed. In fact a jailborked iphone runs debian packaging system if I remember rightly.

You can tell, I'm not a mac boy can't you I've still got this mac book pro, and while it is nice, I keep wanting to put linux on it
-
For the cost of it, I can recommend DropBox, I know there are some security issues people have raised up, but for $99/year for 50gb, you get access on pretty much most devices (phone, laptop, pc etc) Although if you are maccy-fied, why not look at iCloud?

Kaspersky is okay, I use avast which is free Office does not come with Vista.... (and I personally would get rid of vista for win7)

What is the cost on a WI kit these days? May consider have to one -
I personally have stopped doing the freezer trick.... it does actually cause a bit of damage. Depending on how critical the data is, it comes down to a matter of cost. I've recently sent drives off to a repair company who have had some success in recovering various drives. The chances of success are higher the LESS you attempt to do to it. The freezer trick usually results in them NOT being able to fix it. BUT recovery isn't cheap and can vary from £100 to around £1k just depends on serious you are about wanting the data back.

I've looked into those schemes a while back and they were IMHO a bit of a con, yes they gave you the panels, but with everything in life there is no such thing as a free lunch; They got the excess electricity payments rather than the end-user getting the payments. Guess it is a bit of a compromise. That said, it may not be the case any more, I'm not sure.

Check the break even costs carefully, as well as the life span of the units. I remember doing some research into it a few years ago for a data centre I was building, and the break even time was around 15 years, and the PV life length was 10. I'll see if I can find the article of the guy who did out his entire house in the States, but he took a very scientific approach to it with all sorts of useful figures rather than the ones quoted by the manufacturers. It wasn't a complete waste by any means but the returns are nowhere near as good as claimed.

Tell you what, I can test it on a wide range of android phones if you would like. I pretty much all of the available devices
-
Now that is interesting, because I've heard this as well.... and tempted to research this option for my new smart engine when I finish it.
