Who's the greater idiot: the idiot, or the one who argues with him?
You are what people complain about when they say how needlessly hostile $OPEN_SOURCE_PROJECT's fora are; you're more interested in being right than you are about solving someone's problem, and out here in the real world that's pathetic.
Take it from an older nerd: fuck off and learn some social skills.
Eh. Recent releases are better, but I still don't like the direction KDE's gone with the user interface with 4.x; I care neither for Plasmoids (or whatever those things are) nor for the way the K-menu hides the item hierarchies.
The Chunnel is one thing; Great Britain is on the same geological plate as Europe. This is something else entirely, trying to link two continents on separate moving plates, in a region that's notorious for earthquakes, underwater.
Completely aside from political and monetary problems, this just isn't a good idea.
Meh. I was raised in a relatively liberal denomination, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and in Sunday School we were just taught the story, but not that it was metaphorical; perhaps it was because you can't expect younger kids to understand "metaphor". I didn't stick around long after I became an adult, so I don't know what that specific denomination believes there, but I can tell you that most of the other American Lutheran denominations (generally the ones with "synod" in their name) are literalists, and most of the Baptists are as well, and I'm sure there are other denominations that are.
If you're European, you can thank us: we took your religious nutters, took one for the team.
That argument sure comes across like you are. It's astonishingly close to the stoners who go on and on about using hemp to make things, but we're not supposed to notice that they smoke weed.

And about time, too. Prior to that RAM had been expensive forever. 4MB of RAM had been $200 for at least three years before the prices started going down.
Point is that we don't know/when/ SSDs are going to reach that magical point, but it'll certainly be after we see the effects of China tightening up the rare-earth supply.
I expect they're also waiting for UEFI to achieve more market penetration, since plain old BIOSes are limited to 2TB drives on account of the old Master Boot Record's limitations. The 3TB drives are the first iteration to need UEFI and as such are useful for probing what the market will do.

True, but if code it depends on changes then it needs maintenance.
Nah, I'm just trolling him now.
Show me how, expert.
Your mother's first in that line, chum.
You sound like a complete moron.

Look, neckbeard, I'm sorry I'm insulting your Favorite Desktop Environment, but some of us have lives.
I certainly can gripe about that being non-obvious, now can't I?

I'd expect we'd all like to know why.
I'd suppose either he's finally had enough of us, or of his corporate overlords.

We've already tried far-right self-described "Christian" Texan governors, thanks. Pretty recently, in fact.
Fucked us up right proper, so it did.
...and a state like Texas where punishment is considered more important than justice or rehabilitation.
HA HA HA.
Try getting anything like that passed when Republicans have the slightest grip on power.

Thirty years ago, well before the time of social media.

Anecdata: in '98 I bought 8MB of RAM for ~$60. That was a 72-pin SIMM.
Gigabyte's found a way to bodge their BIOSes to support GUID boot records, so I'm guessing the problem is that plain BIOS doesn't support that.
The industry's decided to use GUID records, so that's the standard which must be supported, and it's natively part of UEFI.
And about time, too. Prior to that RAM had been expensive forever. 4MB of RAM had been $200 for at least three years before the prices started going down.

5-10% isn't that much. Spinning discs will still be a lot cheaper than even the cheapest SSDs.
...because the Bush Administration let them buy up their competitors.
Fire the CEO so he can get a $50m golden parachute, right?
