Google Prefers DRAM to Hard Disks

KP writes: "I came across this interview with Google's CEO. A very interesting read." It's interesting in part becase that CEO (Eric Schmidt) claims that for Google's purposes, "it costs less money and it is more efficient to use DRAM as storage as opposed to hard disks." "I still cannot figure out how he says storing data on DRAM is cheaper than storing it on hard-disks. Maybe, if you buy in bulk?"

Slashdot is a useless pile of SLOP. Why is Slashdot such a useless pile of stinking SLOP? I have no idea. It just is -- it's a worthless, stinking, festering pile of SLOP vomited up by CmdrTaco's dog, no doubt, and left rotting on the Internet for everyone to see. A fucking pile of SLOP! Look at it! Look at the front page today! SLOP! SLOP! SLOP! Fucking, dirty SLOP! SLOP, SLOP, SLOP, SLOP!!! Patents!? SLOP! DNA?! SLOP!! Google using RAM up their butts??? SLOP, I tell you! SLOP!!
