What issue? That they cost more per GB?
Most people are far more happy with their iops/$ ratio, and you can keep a few local multi TB spinning platters around if cloud storage is not your thing.
14 year old kids in Texas do not, in general, build bombs with electronic triggers (in fact, can you find any evidence of it ever happening, ever?). Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
'Circuit board==bomb' is the result of fucking idiotic fear mongering, right wing propaganda and islamaphobia since 9/11.
There was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to think this kid had tried to make a bomb. If his teachers were doing their jobs, they would have known him. They would have known he tinkered in electronics. He should have brought it in to show and tell and got a fucking medal.
Cache. You just drop it when need the ram for something else.
Done properly, it will even have you new application in ram BEFORE you request it.
Remember super fetch? People who don't get it complaining Windows was using all their ram- shock horror!
And when you click on a link in an email? Or a shitty uninstaller opens a browser at the end to apologise for being shitty?
That's when the default browser matters.

That's what it is. You need a server to download the JavaScript, but that runs locally, and generates the html/content.
For God's sake, NO.

Grow up. Be realistic. Stop being scared.
Saving a buck usually translates into consuming fewer resources
What? No it doesn't. Lowering the price of a resource generally increases consumption.
Methinks he meant it takes fewer resources to produce.
...which means we produce more of it, using the same amountor more resources than before.
Pretty much, yeah
I understand this is confusing and unexpected, but well, that's UNIX...
Pottering admits he doesn't do UNIX
Angry? Yes. Idiot? Hell yeah. Looking forward to the fifth part in your trilogy. Hope it as good as the famous one.
Nope, money creation takes it out of the hands (or devalues the hands) of the rich - those that need, and use money effectively, the least.
That's a really good point. Life would be so much easier IF ONLY energy fell out of the sky...

30ms of latency doesn't matter of you have a 3 second buffer
