If your page file is large enough, probably such that your total virtual memory is not over 80% utilization, the OS does not need to write data every time is pages out. A large number of pages rarely change. The OS only need to write out dirty pages, page that have changed. If the OS needs to make room and a page is not dirty, it can just remove it from memory and read it from disk later, no writes needed.
Making your page file large enough could reduce writes or just get enough memory. I do find it interesting that just loading video games can cause a considerable amount of writes. World of Warcraft writes nearly 1MB/s while reading 500MB/s. Over the period of 10 seconds, that's 10MB of data written. What could WoW be writing 10MB of? Maybe it's NTFS. I should check if NTFS is updating last time accessed.
Telcom and Cable are not ISPs, they are Telcom and Cable that so happen to offer ISP services. This is how they get to use Title II to get many privileges, but ISPs cannot. By making ISPs Title II, it makes them have the same benefits as Telcom and Cable.
The only other way to make ISPs competitive with Telcom and Cable would be to remove Title II from Telcom and Cable. That would be interesting. Then they could refuse service or purposefully degrade connections to competitors and allow businesses to pay to degrade connections to other business. Pizza Hut could pay to have phone service blocked to Domino's pizza.
Without regulations, Telcoms are free to do whatever the F they want with your communications and they already have monopolies.
Hmm, my computer locked up.. Lets power cycle.. crap, my HD is missing. Ohh, My Intel SSD failed in an unexpected way. Great for RAID, bad for home users with 1 OS drive.
music would cease to exist if they were found liable, I still see the sun shining," says Busch. "The music industry will go on."
While human rights activists would make you think that forced slavery and genocide will end the human race, I still see the sun shining, the human race will go on.
A quick google returned stuff like "Moon rocks have 10x more titanium than Earth rocks". The moon having 10% titanium compared to Earths 1% is only one example of high rare mineral concentrations. An no environment issues to worry about.
Last-mile ISPs should ALWAYS pay for bandwidth. If they can get it for free, that's good, but they should never be able to sell to non last-mile customers. Last mile ISPs should never be allowed to sell peering or transit. If they want to do that, they should break off into a separate entity. It's the ultimate form of eating your cake and having it. Have the last-mile customers pay for the infrastructure, then resell that infrastructure for 100% profit while price gouging another network that wants to access your customers. Customers who have no choice in ISPs.
but apparently you don't know that the *sender* pays in a peering agreement
Actually, no. In most peering agreements, being out of ratio, no matter which direction, is violating the peering agreement. "Sender pays" is archaic. It was true at one time.
Especially for last mile ISPs. They pay for the large of up or down. Because most users download, download is their cost setter. This is why Sonic offers business class 1Gb connections for $40/m and residential for $80/m. Because the residential set the 95th percentile during peak hours. The transit cost for the business connections is $0.
Everyone over-subscribes, even Tier1 with high grade SLAs. The difference is how much they oversubscribe. High quality transit providers make sure they have enough bandwidth to handle demand. If you have 100,000 customers who on average only use 10% of their connection, then you could have a 5:1 over-subscription and still maintain a 100% buffer.
The issue at hand is ISPs complaining that their customer's with 100Mb connections are trying to stream 3Mb/s of video for hours on end. Ohh the horror, 10% of customer's trying to use 3% of their provisioned bandwidth at the same time.
Those people aren't using "Linux", they're using whatever their flashy cellphone has on it. You could change Linux out from under them and they wouldn't notice a difference because it's all walled-garden. It sounds nice and all and even has some merit, but it's not the same. It's like saying all Netflix users are FreeBSD users. Technically they are "using" FreeBSD, but it would not matter to them if Netflix changed to some other hosting OS.
Surely, according to the current theories, the "big bang" would be similar to just a "big supernova" in which heavy elements and very heavy elements are created
Nope. It was too hot for matter to exist. Particles didn't even start to form until some time after the Big Bang.
Advances in AI will make it possible to replace large swaths of 'smart' and 'creative' jobs by 2050.
Solving a problem is the easiest part. The hardest part is identifying and describing the problem. Once AIs can both identify and solve problems, then there will be absolutely nothing left for humans for "jobs".
The employees can't afford the robots and it takes a while to pay off the investment for them. So the employees become the employer, except the employees can't afford the robots. Do you see a problem with this? Someone has to pay for the robots and they're too expensive to be owned individually and it would be wasteful because no one needs an entire factor of cars for themselves. The logical conclusion of what you're getting after is for the robots to be collectively owned, a form of socialism.
If we categorized people based disposable income and normalized that value for the cost of good and services, would the middle class still be shrinking?

SSDs may be 10us, but over SATA3.0, your real world is more like 100us.

They did fail with a warning if you assume the wear level count reached zero 2 petabytes ago.

On the whole, OCZ has a 10% RMA rate while the industrial average was about 0.5% and Intel and Samsung where about 0.25%. You must feel lucky.

My main point is some "rare Earth" minerals may not be so rare on the Moon.

My ISP told me that providing dedicated bandwidth is cheaper than managing QoS and playing whack-a-mole with customer complaints.
Everyone over-subscribes, even Tier1 with high grade SLAs. The difference is how much they oversubscribe. High quality transit providers make sure they have enough bandwidth to handle demand.

If you're going to sell a 100Mb connection to the Internet, do not be surprised when someone decides to use a whole 5Mb/s of it(Netflix).

The Linux Community's fragmentation is both it's strength and weakness. They need to find a happy medium,
Depending on several variables, an employee costs about 30%-100% more than their salary.
There was suddenly an enormous amount of energy and it started to expand. Colloquially, that sounds like an explosion.

If you can't express the idea in text and text alone, then you haven't broken it down properly. Drawing pictures on a whiteboard won't help with this.
And you should be able to compose great music via sheet music alone, but it might be a good idea to actually listen to your music.
Cold temps suddenly seem much more bearable.
