I'm going to get an SSD when the price per GB is the same as HDD. I'm not going waste money just to boot Windows faster. My boot takes up to 30s to desktop, it isn't loaded with the crap that makes it significantly longer for other people even with newer systems.
People go to great lengths to minimize read/writes; putting their games and apps on a HDD, changing system/user folder locations to a HDD, etc. So basically is it worth it to merely load the operating system a little bit faster? Why buy an SSD if you aren't going to use it to load your games and apps faster?
Build upwards, not outwards. And build apartment complexes more than 2 stories high. If everything were also within walking distance we wouldn't need huge parking lots much less a car.
Perhaps because we have a lot of land, we keep building outwards instead of upwards, apartment complexes may be a couple of stories at best at least around here. This is why we need a lot of fuel, it's because just about everyone needs a car to get to work and do other errands, and the spouse needs a car, and eventually in high school the kid may have a car instead of using the bus. And people want huge ass gas guzzling SUVs, Hummer and trucks because a sedan apparently doesn't have enough hauling capacity to haul their own huge McAss.
Everyone gets on the road at the same time going to and leaving work, causing congestion issues and wasting even more fuel.
Attempts to retrofit cities with light rail are futile.. you still need to drive to a station.
A Texas ID Card costs $16 for 6 years, and in Florida it's $25 for 8 years. You do not have to have a car and take/pass the driving test in order to get a photo id.
$25 is five $5 scratch-offs or a few cases of beer or smokes..

Amen. More stuff to go wrong, more stuff to fix, higher price tags all around.
Because moving to another country is as easy as you say it is?
