Actually I would not be surprised if parts of our modern version of history have been falsified. "History is written by the victor" and all that.. and most religious originators/leaders are obviously insane and/or control freaks, book burners etc.. I've never been particularly interested in history as a subject though for most of my life, and it's only now that I myself am no longer religious that I'm starting to find it more interesting.
Well for the main system drive for a typical user I think you'd be seeing a lot more reads than writes, so it seems a good choice for that. I also have the impression that HDDs these days aren't particularly reliable long term either (though I've never had a problem personally, the only times I've had a hard drive die was through a power surge in a storm). I'm really not sure how long this drive will last but I very very rarely ever need to use swap so hopefully it will last me a while before dying. And by the time it does die then SSDs will be even cheaper, more reliable and capacious:)
Well, fucking someone up the ass isn't really high up on my priorities list, nor on the list of my girlfriends as far as I've known, so yeah I wouldn't know:p
In Windows you can map a folder to point to a different drive (in the Manage option of my computer then in the disk manager or something like that). You could probably use that to put your Program Files somewhere else, assuming you're talking about Windows here. Not that that's a great solution for a mobile computer.
Okay, maybe I should have said "current desktop OS". Seriously, what OS is there today that needs more than say 4GB for the base system (not including 3rd party programs or data).
Ah, I was thinking you meant technical advancements. 32GB should easily be enough for your main system drive no matter what desktop OS you're running, though I haven't run any performance comparisons to see just how worth it that would be. I primarily got mine for the fact that I don't have to worry about moving it around or dropping it when it's in use:P
Pretty sure USB 3 is designed to be backwards compatible. That makes it an even more perfect device for iPad users because they don't even get the full functionality out of it.
You can fit various OSes onto a floppy disk, that doesn't mean that floppies have a large capacity. It's all relative. These days I can barely fit a quarter of my music collection into 16GB, but for me 16GB is the sweet cost/size point for USB devices at the moment.
they still need some advancements before I consider one as my main system drive
What kind of advancements are those? I've been using one for my main drive for the last year and it's great. At 32GB I do have a distinct lack of music storage space, but I have a 16GB SDHC card in the side for caching subsets of my music, as well as external HDD with all of my music on it.
I feel kind of used, and dirty. But at the same time it's nice to be wanted for my affluence, influence and geekiness. The fact that I have ads turned off and an adblocker installed helps too.
Well apparently version 1.0 was released in 2006 so it's not that new.. but I've definitely noticed that too.. like I'll have never heard a word before in my life and then it'll turn up two or three times in as many weeks..

You must be new here (in senseofhumourland)

I've an arse too, but I don't feel the need to point it out to everyone..

The ones you normally see on TV/movies have their base at ground level, but you also get ones that occur higher up. No need to be a smartass.
Even if we didn't have legal aid, I'm pretty sure the "loser pays" system would get rid of most spurious lawsuits.
Ah. It seems I may have some apologising to do.

Pretty sure USB 3 is designed to be backwards compatible. That makes it an even more perfect device for iPad users because they don't even get the full functionality out of it.
and by USB devices I meant USB flash drives, I do have a 2.5" 500GB USB HDD for proper media storage and occasional backups.

And more importantly, when did clothes catch on around here? I need to get with the times.

Minor point, but wouldn't "shitty balls" go better with USB? Trolls these days.. no class.
Aren't those videos just of mini-cyclone type things? Like a twister but above ground level.
Sympathetic to Fischer's plight, but reluctant to grant him the full benefits of citizenship, Icelandic authorities granted him an alien's passport.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
Curse you and your unusually flooded rivers, widening what would otherwise be some rather pleasantly enclosed riverbanks..
I don't really think wideness is a quality to be encouraged in beaver circles. Hopefully at least they've kept it trim.

even more important, will it be flexible enough to deal with my inquisitive nature, and is it absorbent or will I end up with nappy rash? :(
