'Hybrid' HDD Technology To Allow Data Access Without Booting

‘Hybrid’ HDD Technology To Allow Data Access Without Booting
jfruhlinger writes “You’ve got a file on your laptop that you need to access — but you don’t want to wait for your laptop to boot up to get at it. New technology from the company Silicon Storage Technology will make the contents of a hard drive accessible via a computer’s USB port even when the computer is powered down. ‘FlashMate combines hardware, firmware and software in a system application subsystem that manages a notebook computer’s hard drive. It is based on SST’s expertise in NAND flash controllers and memory subsystem design with Insyde Software’s expertise in PC BIOS, system software and power management. FlashMate can work in conjunction with features such as Windows Vista ReadyDrive and serve as nonvolatile cache for the hard disk drive, thus enabling a standard hard disk drive to function as a hybrid drive.'”

Simon Pegg to Play Scotty (2652)

Simon Pegg to Play Scotty
In response to yesterday’s casting news about Chris Pine possibly taking the captain’s chair for the new Star Trek movie, apparently Simon Pegg will be playing the role of Scotty. Simon Pegg is known for his role as Shaun in Shaun of the dead and more recently for his leading role in Hot Fuzz. “Pegg joins Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Anton Yelchin as Chekov, John Cho as Sulu and Zachary Quinto as Spock in the film which reportedly, and logically, ‘chronicles the early days of the Enterprise crew.’ Leonard Nimoy will also put in an appearance, while Eric Bana signed up this week as the movie’s villain, Nero.”

Coffeebreak – 10/12/07

On this morning’s Coffeebreak:
Rick opened this morning’s show making a joke in reference to last week’s show, where Chris was picking on him for being in a bad mood.
After commenting on the recent change in the weather (at the time of broadcast it was 52°F), Rick mentioned that he had spoke with Roger Slade, of the Harrison County Historical Society, which is sponsoring the Ghost Walking Tour. Rick stated that Roger noted that there has been a lot of interest in the tour, and that the tours taking place during the nine o’clock hour have been of great interest. The tour begins at the Rohs Opera House, and proceeds to the fountain at the old courthouse, where the story of David Sheely is given. From the old courthouse, the tour crosses the street to the Old Log Cabin (WCYN), where George Slade’s experience is told. From there, the tour doubles back, and crosses to Main Street, where a story related to the building adjacent to the lot is given. From there, the tour stops at Seldon-Renaker Inn, the returns to the Rohs, to ascend to the third floor, where the last story is told.
Rick reminded the listeners that the Breds play at home tonight, against Rockcastle County. The final game that the Thorobreds will play is in two weeks, and will be the Homecoming/Senior Night game.
Topics suggested for the open mic discussions where the Ghost Walk–Rick was interested in hearing from listeners who have taken the tour–and the recent removal of the trees on Main Street, in front of the former Whaley-McCarty Funeral Home.
Prior to the first call, both Rick and Chris commented on the number of hits that WCYN.com has received, and that they have received comments from listeners of the streaming broadcast from as far as Nebraska and Florida.
The first caller of the day was an elderly woman who stated that she was saddened by the removal of the trees on Main Street. The caller asked if Rick knew who had removed the trees, to which Rick responded by saying that the word he received was that the State Highway Department had removed the trees at the request of the Mayor. The trees had been viewed as a safety hazard, according to unnamed sources, due to the fact that branches hung low enough to be struck by passing semi-trucks, and that the fall foliage tended to cause for a slippery driving surface. The caller also commented that she is very disappointed by the current administration’s lack of care for the various plants and shrubbery that had been placed throughout town by the former administration. The final comment that the caller made was in expressing her disappointment in the public for not cleaning up after themselves at the new recreational park. She feels that it is a waste of time where the men working for the Recreation Department must pick up the refuse left behind.
The second caller wished to share news of what is happening in the city of Berry. Recently, Southeast Telephone assisted in providing the area with DSL. As a part of the project, there are ten terminals giving free access to the Internet located at the Community Data Center (located at Berry City Hall). The caller also noted that there has been a new factory to open at the old Berry Lumber Company. Rosewood Pallet Supply, the new business, is currently employing approximately ten people, and is planning for expansion. Rick stated that he is currently in the works of contacting the woman who owns and operates the establishment and scheduling her as a guest to the program.
The third caller offered suggestion of a guest to the program, in response to a question Rick asked on air, regarding having “out of town” guests. The woman offered suggestion for Joe B. Hall, Cynthiana native and former UK basketball coach, to be a guest on the show. Rick stated that it might be difficult to schedule Coach Hall, for he is a local media celebrity.
The final caller of the day, Danny Simpson, raised an interesting point in relation to the drought situation. Throughout Kentucky communities have had water restrictions in place, yet, to his knowledge, Cynthiana has not fallen under one due to the back-up water supply being pumped from the Main Licking at Devil’s Backbone. Coach Simpson questioned why the city and county have not used this as a selling point for bringing business and industry to Cynthiana. Rick, while validating Simpson’s question as valid, stated that according to what he has heard from certain sources, that the expense of pumping water from the north Licking is too great.

Other notable points within the show:
Chris mentioned that Custom Cuts’ Jerry Adams has organized the final cruise-in of the year, which will take place in front of the station, on Court Street, tomorrow evening at 5:00 p.m.
Chris asked about information regarding the time capsules buried at the old courthouse–he is curious if anyone remembers what had been buried.
Chris stated that on one of last weekend’s tours, people reported seeing a figure in the upstairs window at the radio station. Chris explained that the shadowy figure actually belonged to Chris McDuffey, who was there for the broadcast of last week’s Thorobreds game. Rick then suggested that he and Chris take one of the tours. Rick also began to poke fun at Chris’ fear of clowns.

This morning’s sponsors were:
Harrison County Board of Education, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, BluegrassTradingPost.com, Whalen & Company, Eastside Pharmacy, Bourbon Community Hospital, and the First United Methodist Church of Cynthiana.
