Yea, what you descript is the law of diminishing returns. For each unit of X that you throw at a problem (be it engineers, managers, or dollars) you get an increasingly smaller return (good code). It can also be summed up as "to many cooks spoil the meal".
So when will someone write a script to auto generate and send emails to the abuse department at hotmail and get huge blocks of hotmail addresses shut down?
The early FPS's like Doom 1 & 2 and quake didn't bother me at all (although playing Descent for 3 minutes had me falling over dizzy). Now unfortunatly, any FPS on any platform seems to make me nautious after a few minutes. Otherwise I never get any kind of motion sickness, even on a boat.
This is a linux thing, it's a non-geek using a computer thing. For many months after introducing my Mom to a computer I had to constantly remind her to read the messages that popup, and call me if she didn't understand what it was saying/asking. For some reason new computer users (windows/linux/otherwise) always just click away at whatever button is the closest to their mouse. It comes down to them not understanding, not caring, and just wanting the damn popup to go away.
My god, you must be young if you conisder '92 and '93 as "a long, long time". Hell, even 88 wasn't THAT long ago. (btw, I have no friggin idea how long F1 racing has been around, but does it keep me from posting, HELL NO)
Which is why if your going to buy identical drives, you should try to buy them from different suppliers. If you ensure that the drives have different lot numbers (or whatever HD manufacturers use) you have a much lower probability of two drives failing at once or close together.
I totally agree. Besides truckers, I would see people just catching up on email and maybe checking road conditions ahead of them. I couldn't see a lot of peole hanging out at a rest stop just to chat or play games for hours on end. It would be much easier to get the drive over with and do it on the other end.

Can we get an asshole meter as a sidebar? That way we can know at a glance wether or not to read the article comments.
fucking wait two damn minutes before I post, my ass!
Could you imagine having your snailmail box /.'d? It would be fun to get a PO Box and post it on here a few times....
Try to remain within the scope of the discussion. It may not be less bloated, but it's not soaking up CPU cycles if the code isn't being ran.

This was pretty interesting, but I damned near laughed out load when I read this:
which means the genes amon the population vary very little, we aggresivly mutate alot of the citizens.
I wonder if the government is interested in "aggresivly mutating" the populace.
It's a matter of going so fast that you continuously miss the Earth
Is that kind of how humans learn how to fly. You just fall and miss the ground???
That just about describes any Eastern Washington town.
I'll tell you, I'm glad I just got a new towel.
Did anyone else forget what the original article was about by the end of this thread?
if a manufacturer produced a bad lot of drives
Which is why if your going to buy identical drives, you should try to buy them from different suppliers. If you ensure that the drives have different lot numbers (or whatever HD manufacturers use) you have a much lower probability of two drives failing at once or close together.

Go back to whatever neo-socialist shit house you came from and hang yourself from the nearest rafter.
