Read heavy system partitions on a small SSD (/boot,/bin,/etc...etc), everything on magnetic.
Separating both parts leaves you with two options.
A manageable hybrid would let you have more degrees of speed/size. It would let you use just a part of the SSD to accelerate the accesses to a part of the magnetic storage, the rest as pure SSD and the rest of magnetic for low priority storage.
Hybrid storage drives should be manually manageable.
You should have the possibility of configuring which files/folders/partitions/whatever you want to be accessed fast and which parts are to be left as "long term", slow access, storage.

Never watched it. Should I care? Do they have a solution to the oil slick in the Gulf? Do I have MY priorities straight?
No, you don't.
How can you be chatting about the oil spill when there are so many children starving in Africa? Get your priorities straight, man.
a coworker loaned me the DVDs to watch on the bus during my commute in the Fall of 2008 [...] I am glad that I only wasted two years of my life watching that show.
Wow! That's a freaking long commute.

My new mission is to use each and every word in that post, during a meeting, before next friday.
Racism: definition. Racism is (among other things), believing that the race is responsible for the behavior.
Well, what you leave in "among other things" is, still, "Racism: racial prejudice or discrimination".
Quoting you again: "ethnic and racial differences are dramatic", where you did discriminate by race.
Sure I did. That's what "ethnicity" implies.
But not "racial differences", as you said.
I will admit though that I didn't think it through well enough and that since actual genetic differences (which is, as I now understand it, the only meaning of race) obviously aren't relevant in this matter, any correlations aren't really all that significant either. There should exist at least the possibility of causation before a correlation should be emphasized. Ethnicity would have fully covered the matter and, not unimportantly, saved me from this foolishness.
I fully agree.
The rest of personal attacks I'll ignore as I don't think add much to the discussion.
In conclusion, my first post on this topic shoul've been:
ethnic and racial differences are dramatic (and no, I ain't white =p).
I agree on "ethnic" and I think implying racial differences is racist, whether you're white or not.
Sorry for the lack of precision and the excessively aggressive first reply, that stained an otherwise interesting dialogue.
That said, there's technical reasons why your idea won't work. A sea of miscellaneous open APs, moving about in cars and sidewalks (while you might also be doing the same) sounds like a good idea, until you realize that hopping from one to another kills any existing TCP connections, trashes any UDP sessions, and would be generally unreliable.
However, just imagine a machine you fing on any public space. A fuel dispenser (however you call those), an ATM, your car, anything.
You get to it, press connect, see the many available hotspots, ordered by signal strength, so the one you carry on is probably the first. Select it. The machine connects through you. The information about the use you make of the machine can be used by your apps.
The weekend you can sit on your PC and generate graphs about your fuel consumption, the total composition of what you ate, how much exercise you've done, how much time you could have saved by using an alternative route to work...
I can't think of really groundbraking uses, but I see the potential.
I wonder what will be the effects of millions of people carrying wifi hotspots.
If I put my happy optimistic hat, I can imagine a next generation that forgets about ownership of connection and creates a giant web of constant wifi access to the web.
A world where every little gadget can access the web as you approach, by using your phone.

If "dupe" derives from "duplicate", shouldn't we derive "tripe" from "triplicate"?
Whatever you do, don't AskSlashdot about that, linking to the original article.
I don't think I'm the prophet of the apocalypse, but you can never be sure.
So you mean like having 2 separate drives?
Two drives with a direct connection that allows me to seamlessly save what I'm reading on the SSD so a second access is faster.
(while having all other options of having them both)
I have a manageable hybrid.

How soon can I get them out of the picture, if you know what I mean.
Sorry but I don't think the hack goes as far as photoshopping your pictures to erase your friends from them.
In case you didn't RTFA, you can only delete the link between your facebook accounts, not the friends themselves.
And so dies our intricate plan to befriend our enemies and erase them from existance.
Dont laugh, I've already soldered an RJ45 connection to the iron. The cat is next.
I think soldering an RJ45 to your cat will probably kill it.
I case I misunderstood you, ironing your cat will also kill it.
you'll be allowed to connect a device of your choosing to the end? Socking.
I am socked, I tell you. Socked!
Tonight at 11, "Connecting your fridge to australian intertubes. What will be the minimum legal size for chicken breasts?".
Someday, Slashdot will support transations.
Will we know what those "transations" are by then? Or there'll be just a dry message:
"13/04/2016: Transations are now supported. You're welcome."
This is dangerous and illegal!
And so very fucking stupid!
Does anyone think this wouldn't end up as lots of accidents?

they were unaware of the data being sent to them from the social-networking sites, and said they haven't made use of it
Ahh, they didn't use it. Then it's all right.
Nothing to see here.
I wonder if TPB could use the same defense. "Wait what? You can SEE the downloaded movies? Whoa!"
Mobile phone manufacturers are worried.
In the near future, to make a call in London you'll only need to say, in clear voice:
"I WISH TO CALL MY FRIEND MIKE"
And the nearest lamppost will set the call.
At first it will be a bit strange to speak to a lamppost and hear it reply in your friend's voice.
I am currently naive enough to be genuinely optimistic about the results of having liberals in power for the first time in over a century.
That's right. Be optimistic.
You'll see. In no time you'll have wifi everywhere, non-homicidal police, free beer, and people tanning naked in the sunny parks.
Yes, you guessed it. Liberals will move the island to a sunnier position. Shut up, you empty glass people.

Pointing out a fact isn't racist, kid.
Pointing out a behaviour difference, by race, is.
It's demanding that something be done about it that might slip into racism. Besides, how do you know I'm not talking about my own race?
I think you mistake "racism" with "hating other races".
If you took the time to learn about other cultures,
You didn't speak of culture, you spoke of race. Had you replaced race by culture, I'd have agreed with you.
If I hadn't stated the non-white disclaimer, there would have been a dozen trolls like this.
Because many people mistake racism with "white people's prejudices against black people".
