I wouldn't call it a success story unless they also stop people having so many kids out there. Though actually part of the reason they have so many kids is because some end up dying of course..
The first desktop I bought with my own money used to just hang I think, often working for up to 30 minutes before having issues. Me and my dad spent a week or two trying to diagnose it, checking IRQs, updating drivers and the BIOS, reinstalling Windows, etc. Applying new thermal paste sorted it out.
Holy crap you're right. I hadn't actually tried checking my Windows folder on this machine (128GB SSD, nearing the limit). Just the Windows folder alone is 30.4GB right now. That's insane..
I'm not conditioned to think like that at all. In fact all my primary machines for the last 3 or so years have had SSDs as their primary drives, and even the cheap Dell laptops I just bought to use as terminals apparently have 7,200RPM HDDs in them.
The whole point here is that your sales guys would boot much faster into Windows with an SSD cache (though actually if they just chose to hibernate their machines instead of rebooting then it wouldn't be a big deal). Sales call guys would get by fine even with 16 or 32GB SSDs anyway..
That doesn't actually follow the logic of the conversation at all.
For an internet analogy, it would be more like having a gigabit fibre link to your favourite websites so that they load instantly. Downloading new files sequentially would also be quite fast. But if you tried to download multiple files simultaneously, you'd start having degraded performance.
For things where you're going to have to wait a few minutes anyway, an extra few minutes isn't really an issue as you'd already be going to get a coffee or check Slashdot or whatever. If it's on the order of seconds, then waiting a few extra seconds isn't a big deal either. Well, that's my preference anyway, maybe yours is different..
As long as the most regularly libraries and executables are cached, it shouldn't seem slow.. for other files, you only need to wait when they're opened initially. I don't even really notice when I open documents over a wi-fi link, so I don't see why opening documents from a 5,400RPM HDD should be much worse.
I thought we'd mostly purged it from the literature by now.
Well, I think nursing is going to continue to be dominated by females, but not because women are any less capable of becoming Doctors of course. I knew more female medical students than male while at University. Actually I've had more female than male GPs too. And one of my male flatmates became a nurse. So I don't think there's anything to worry about really. Though I also think nursing will continue to be dominated by women, even if Doctor-ing is 50/50.
A joke is technically something intended to make you laugh. It is not necessarily factually accurate, or even representative of the beliefs and opinions of the teller.
Well the most ignorant and opinionated Americans often make a massive deal out of patriotism and their history - so I think slapping them in the face with it usually works pretty well in one form or another:p
What exactly are you referring to with your "they" and "their"? Because his post was implying that a bunch of Europeans imported a bunch of Africans. Though actually the Europeans constitute a fair amount of diversity too, so bringing slavery into it was just trolling.
I read a journal before where a guy had figured out that he gets mod points when he only makes a moderate amount of posts. Lots of posts, or no posts, and you don't get any mod points.

Sounds more like the CPU is overheating
Most people don't need fully kitted out laptops any more than you need an amphibious tank, or your own private GPS satellite network..
Nonsense! All of those users are just installing ChromeOS as soon as they get the machines home. And switching to Emacs instead of Word.
Genius pun, or awful spelling?

It's dumb. It's a highway of driverless cars, with a private company paying for both the highway and cars.
What's dumb about that? If they provide a useful service, people will pay for it.
His only good observation was "banks are ripping people off - why can't I rip them off too, but with the internets."
Why do you feel so ripped off by PayPal? You could also take this time to reread the first part of my post.
Why are you so negative about everything? :p

Typical Muphry's Law. I also meant to have an exclamation rather than a question mark to punctuate the last sentence.. :p
Less than what? Good think that it then became inspiring?
What exactly is "greater" about Oz, other than the weather/beaches? I wouldn't actually want to live in Australia or the USA. Maybe Canada.

Does your phone have a fan? How about your tablet? How about Ultrabooks..?

Yeah, because the paranoid non-sequitur rants are so incredibly useful.
How many people do you know that know what ape tastes like? I know, because I read.
Human meat is much closer to pork.
Can't tell if troll, or you forgot to take your pills this month.
