I was thinking that but thought it was most likely a typo

SSD's and software encryption http://www.anandtech.com/show/6891/hardware-accelerated-bitlocker-encryption-microsoft-windows-8-edrive-investigated-with-crucial-m500 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7572/samsung-ssd-news-1tb-840-evo-msata-rapid-for-840-pro-edrive-for-840-evo Windows 8 or 8.1 should support e drive which takes advantage of the SSD's hardware encryption , only takes seconds or minutes to enable and doesn't have a performance hit , at least not as much as the software encryption does Obviously the ssd in question has to support edrive which the M500 does and the 840 evo will after a firmware update as per the links

Completely remove chrome and re install it freshly ? Whats wrong with firefox ?

decrypt it and use something like true crypt for them to use on both windows and OS X or maybe get them to get a memory stick from the same company that will work with both OSes ?

what about a virtual machine ie parallels or vmware fusion / virtual box with windows 7 installed ?

Depends which memory stick(s) they are as found this : Crypto USB - Will my Mac compatible Integral Encrypted USB work on a Mac with an older PowerPC processor? | Integral Memory And also this : Dual Password Security Encrypted USB (PC & MAC compatible) - Integral Crypto Dual | Integral Memory A list of other ones from google search

What was used to encrypt the USB Drives ? TrueCrypt / BitLocker or something else ?

Will Power !! To get a bonus Entry :

@StevieM - To me, To you !!!

Maybe @VeryPC ( Al or Will ) could let us know who is lacking on bonus entries so if someone else guesses who the winner is they can pass the bonus entry onto someone else who does not have the max amount ?

I have too much work to be on here to guess who has won what but try to keep up with this in the evenings

This would hint at possibly ensuring to connect to one of the rear ports that is on the system board itself not one of those front facing usb header ports ??

I was referring to the size of SSD's increasing in comparison to SAS drives and that SSD's run cooler and possibly faster etc and with the size of SSD's increasing will most likely need larger capacity backup tapes in order to backup that amount of data ( system state plus user data etc ) ???

2. Using variables in Python | Pi Programming [url="http://www.piprogramming.org/main/?page_id=400"] [/url][b]Taking Input[/b] Lets have a look how we can read in a value from the user and print that out. Take the following code: import sys message = "You typed in: " print("Please type something: ") input_line = sys.stdin.readline() print(message + input_line) Now, we have a couple of new parts here. The first line has an import which imports sys. Sys is a library which contains more useful code that is commonly used by people and comes as standard with Python. Specifically we are using it on the line that reads ‘input_line = sys.stdin.readline()’. The sys.stdin.readline() part reads in what the user types until the point they press return. It then assigns that value to the variable ‘input_line’. We then come to the final print message. This uses two variables and prints them together. The + symbol means that python will add the two string together, i.e. the message and the input_line. Run the code and you will see the output.

SANDisk Enterprise SSD ( 4tb to start with ) and there is a road map for 8tb and 16tb Enterprise SSD's, not sure it relates to backups other than large capacities ?? It's here, the 4TB FLASH drive: SanDisk rips sheet from the Optimus MAX Does that mean you will have to use the larger tapes such as per this article : http://www.itpro.co.uk/storage/22183/sony-develops-cassette-capable-of-storing-185tb-of-data

The Dark Knight rises ( @nephilim after he has guessed each correct winner ) lol

I can't see any pic / photo either ?

I found @nephilim's photo

I don't have a droid so yeah Unless it has been released on iOS already ?

Possibly a daft question as I know the quadro range are ( as you stated previously ) more designed for video editing / CAD etc Is it not possible to use a GTX / Gaming type card to do the same sort of stuff or do they not fair or do as well as the quadro range ?

Today's draw brought to you by the letter 10 and the number é /sarcasm

840 evo performs better as far as I know and is cheaper than the two links you provided for the M550 M550 from Amazon - £107.98 Dabs - £107.98 840 evo from amazon - £99.90 £7.98 difference and that's without postage possibly ?? Prices must be fluctuating ......

@VeryPC - Found a waffle maker for you CTRL+ALT+DEL....icious !!!

@Alkaline - totally agree with you as I was reading reviews and iris is ok for simple games but if you are going to be playing the usual selection of games then you will need a dedicated gpu as they require a lot more power

Streaming movies / youtube etc. any chance you could try x-mirage and see what you think of them both etc
