Oh yes, I abuse my powers all the time - I even stay up late specifically to delete deserving articles and just block random people. With those admin powers. Which, you know, I don't have.
I don't know who you've mistaken me for, but I'm just a random WP editor () who mostly quietly edits articles and occasionally butts into ill-informed/. conversations.
What? Since when was Parker Peters ever an administrator? It's easy for him to claim that, and also easy to prove it - but he hasn't. Given his many wild claims and odd if not outright vandalistic behavior from the moment he first showed up on WikiEN-l, I would be deeply skeptical of anything he writes, and would certainly disregard any claims to special expertise or authority.
...And it's Ed Poor's strange beliefs and actions which are precisely why he is no longer an administrator or beaucrat and spends his time working on the Moony's Wikipedia fork and Conservapaedia.
No way. We should want Cheney to become president - Bush is too likeable and entrenched, but if Cheney replaces him, his venality, industry connections, and lack of photogenicity will doom the administration even faster.
I'm going to interpret your first comment as meaning, "It'd be neat if I could mount the / partition on the solidstate drive, and/home on some sort of regular disk-based harddrive." In which case, why not? How often do your configuration files in/etc, or kernels in/boot, or your binaries in/usr/bin, or files in/root change? Not very often, I would expect, even if you are upgrading constantly - how many apt-get upgrades or apt-get installs would it take before sectors start going bad and reducing space? A lot, I'd figure.
(Now, if you want to argue that something like/var or/tmp should be in RAM or on a diskdrive, that'd be sensible, but you could still have the vast majority of your system stuff in the solidstate drive.)

Did you read the article? There was actual sabotage involved here, directed against Beryl's (I think) website.
