If you're reading a lot of small files, that's a lot of open/read/close commands. If you're reading a big file, that's one open command, multiple sequential read commands, one close command.
And if it's anything like SPI, there's not even multiple read commands, you just keep clocking to read the data sequentially.
45.00$CAD for the Intel Celeron G1840 (Haswell 2.8GHz) (its regular price is 55$CAD but it has a 10$CAD instant rebate right now) 55.00$CAD for the MSI H81M-P33 Motherboard (its regular price is 65$CAD but it also has a 10$CAD instant rebate right now)
110.00$CAD for Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit - OEM
And I could get something for a lot less using AMD parts while still keeping away from a Sempron.
To elaborate, I don't need things like a text editor, printer/scanner/digital camera/tape backup/etc drivers, minesweeper and who knows what else comes with Windows these days.
Also, why is there no lower-cost upgrade path for Windows XP users? "Got a Windows XP license? Here's Windows 8.1 for 50% off" or something.
Why is Windows so expensive? I'm trying to build a low-cost gaming PC (Celeron G1840, GT 640, etc) and the cost of the Windows license is greater than the CPU and the motherboard combined!
You're absolutely right. The only way to fix this is to nuke the problem from orbit./AliensMovieQuote*
* just in case some idiot from the NSA/FBI/CIA/whatever never heard of that movie, this comment is only a joke. I do not possess the ability to send anything in orbit nor do I own any nukes. The only radio-active material in a music CD titled "Radio Gaga", which turns active when inserted into a CD/DVD/BluRay player.
I'd like to see the next Star Trek movie do exactly that: undo all the damage done by JJ, so that by the end of the movie, the timeline is restored to the original one.
Just involve the Borgs or something, the current new timeline being excessively bad for them, so they're the ones switching it back.
There, I just saved Star Trek within the laws defined by pre-JJ Star Trek.

Our vision is made for horizontal viewing, not vertical. The only thing that requires taller monitors is websites, everything else needs to be wide.
Get yourself a monitor that can be rotated 90 degrees.
Yeah, but Skarjak asked for a curved monitor from the future, not from another planet.
Hey, I'm using a 17", 1280x1024 monitor* right now, you insensitive clod!

There's no Final Fantasy XIV on Steam.
I guess you're right.
Playstation 4 it is.

I want a "Windows Gaming Edition".

It's 50 mètres to be exact.
Thank you, Ted, that was the joke.
For those who are metric-impaired, 50 meters equals 1968.5 inches.

FTFY.
You still don't get it, do you? Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn... if you use any of those so-called "social networking" websites, you're fucked.
Me too, eh?
I think you've watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail too many times.

I heard it was paid for someone called John Hammond, a billionaire CEO.
Fine! Make the last two movies a fantasy, that was Q messing around with the Universe.
First of all, thank you for saying "Windows" instead of "PC".
Second, why is it available for old Sony and Microsoft consoles but not for Wii U, Macs or Linux?

I thought the version was a penis length competition.
At least that's what it looks like since Chrome and Firefox started changing major versions every fucking week or so.
