It's impossible to move those huge blocks with today's standards, perhaps due to today's safety measures. Trucks are limited to how much they can carry for the safety of other drivers on shared roads. What if some massive amount of people were used to transport these blocks? Maybe a team of 50 strong men were responsible for moving just 1 block a day. Just guessing here. And that would mean about 22,100 could have worked on the project. If the number is too high, what if 50 men were ordered to move 4 blocks a day?We don't know how many people were put in dangerous situations to complete the project back then. And I'm sure there weren't any union representatives to go against the architect (usually a king or queen) demanding 30 minutes of break for every 6 hours worked Maybe people's lives were at stake and it's either do or die.My guess would be on people first--we have tenancy to do great things if we put our minds to it, and not have to wait for outer space influence.

One possible way to track down a pc/laptop is to wait for a thief to log into an account that is your client's. For example, if your client made an auto login for a messenger or any social networking sites you can wait until the next time the laptop is turned on and curiously logging into one of these accounts. Once you can confirm that the thief had logged in, ask the service provider (MSN, Yahoo, Facebook or such) to trace the IP address. And then let detectives request IP address information to obtain the service provider, location, customer and customer information.Other than that, there's not much you can really do at this point.Consider advising your client with Lojack for Laptops.

I guess "height" is a relative term.Yes, 2.5" is also known as the height of the drive. That would make my measurement as depth of the drive. In the hard drive, you have your size (3.25 or 2.5 inch drive) and then you have the width, followed by how thick your drive.Some specific laptops have drive thickness requirements such as less than 17mm or some 15mm drives only.There is no vibration rating except you'll know when your laptop vibrates. Some laptops equip with CD silencer to suppress unnecessary vibration when CD or DVD is spinning. SSD is an excellent alternative choice. However, the price is so high that it may not be worth it. For example, 200GB SSD is almost 3 time the SATA or IDE hard drive's price. SSD has very low power consumption and low heat.

Some laptops have specific hard drive height requirements. Majority of hard drives are about 19-23mm tall (when installed). Some hard drive caddies are only for >17mm and thus not just any laptop hard drive will do. Please search and know the dimension requirements before purchasing/installing.Another requirement can be the spinning speed (5400 RPM vs 7200 RPM). Some laptops have separate drive caddy that can absorb the extra vibration caused by high spinning hard drive. If you install high spinning hard drive it can cause unwanted vibration to your laptop. Consequently there are high speed hard drives with low vibrating ratings. Higher spinning hard drives tend to draw more power so know that your laptop may not last long under battery power.Be careful or be aware of extra heat produced by modified equipment (non-OEM replaced part). You can pickup a software to mirror/ghost your old hard drive to new hard drive regardless of the size difference. That means you don't have to reinstall your programs from the beginning, including your operating system.A good rule of thumb is to always, and I mean always have about 15-20% free space of your total hard drive capacity. Windows (especially Windows) is notorious for using your hard drive for paging. And if you max out your "reserved" space your hard drive can crash any time.

I have read nothing but good things about SSD (now we're going off the topic) :)I replaced one of my laptops with SSD and it does speed up. However, the initial booting time and the computing power, such as creating large PSD or working on fill-able PDF is the same--because it's CPU related and not hard drive related.Retrofitting an older laptop with SSD, with the high price of SSD, does not make a practical upgrade. Majority of netbooks are sold with SSD and they seem to be reliable and making battery last longer. I suppose if your laptop is worth upgrading SSD would be one of the wise choices. I would rather sell the older laptop before it depreciates further and purchase newer laptop with SSD as an option. It's better to have motherboard with SSD connector rather than fitting SATA to SSD with a kit.

Whatever happened to learning from the past? Strange it may sound, India's department of telecom could ban BlackBerry devices, Skype and even Gmail services if those services do not comply with the government's law. This law is to ensure that data through aforementioned networks will be made available to security agencies.
 
The story is leaked by stating that the IT laws of India is trying to make foreign companies (like Gmail) that does not need to apply for local license in India to comply fully with security agencies of India.
 
First was China bullying around Google, and now India trying to muscle Gmail, Skype and Blackberry around.
