Try not buying MLC SSDs if you care about your data...otherwise, you get what you pay for.
"You get what you pay for" is marketspeak and often untrue. When I buy a generic Naproxin Sodium I pay 1/3 or less of the price of Aleive. When you buy Alieve, you're paying for naproxin sodium's pain relief but you're NOT getting everything you're paying for, it's exactly the same as generic except the bottle. Often the generics come from the same labs as the name brands. When you buy Alieve you do NOT, in fact, get what you paid for, you get far less product than you're paying for.
The idea that the more expensive item is always better is stupid, and comes from listening to marketers.
You usually pay for what you get, but that's not always true, either. Back when a squeaky little side scroller named Duke Nukem came out, I registered my copy, and was given a second title I didn't expect as well as the Duke. I paid for one game, I got two.
It wasn't a troll, but I would have modded him "overrated" since there's no other moderation for "how fucking stupid can you get?" Or rather left him at a 1 so he could be properly abused by comments from more intelligent slashdotters.
If there was an edit button, you could make an incredibly stupid remark, then change it making all the people who responded look like fools. Or you could make a good comment, and after it's moderated +5 you could change it to a GNAA Goatse troll. It would open up all sorts of trollery, and would be a very bad thing indeed.
That's what the preview button is for -- so you can edit.
Um...by not riding beside somebody, especially in their blind spot?
Yes, I see idiots riding side by side all the time, but you don't have to just be riding in their blind spot, you could be passing them when they decide to get over without looking.
You sound like someone who's either not been driving very long or have been extremely lucky.
They dared to misuse an apostrophe. That makes them wrong.;)
No, it marks them as uneducated and likely not very intelligent. Same with phoneme misuse. I can't take someone who writes like a ten year old seriously.
You should sic Bob on him. It's probably not an accurate appraisal, but I always question the education, and maybe even intelligence, of anyone who can't use that simple punctuation mark properly.
What's worse, I see it more and more. Doesn't anyone read books these days?
And say what you want about Windows: Windows interface is to this moment unsurpassed in it's functionality and simplicity (at leat the classical 95/2000 on which KDE is based).
What's so simple about having to reboot your computer every five minutes? You are talking about older versions of Windows, although you still need to reboot whenever you install or update anything whatever, unlike Linux.
What's so simple about having to reopen all your programs and documents after a boot? KDE opens to the same state it was in when you closed it, all open docs and apps are reopened. You can, of course, change this to mimic Windows.
What's so simple about the double click? Those of you in their twenties don't remember learning how, so it just seems natural to you, but it isn't. Back in the nineties when PCs first got Windows, the double click was the hardest part of teaching someone how to use a computer, and it's completely unnecessary. Your mouse has two buttons. KDE needs no double click. Of course, you can make this like Windows, too.
What's simple about Windows Registry? IMO they should have simply kept.ini files.
Windows is NOT simpler than KDE, and it is NOT more "user friendly." KDE is more than user friendly, it's user obedient. It does things the way you want it to, Windows insists on you doing it the Windows way.
I just had a look at your comment history, and the only ones I would have modded up were modded funny, which is what I would have modded them. Funny gains no karma, and neither do one line comments that say nothing interesting, insightful, or informative; they'll likely be modded overrated or if they're the least bit incindiary, troll or flamebait.
Your karma is terrible because you've added nothing to any of the conversations. You'd probably be better off lurking. If you don't have anything to say, STFU. Say nothing and be thought a fool, speak and remove all doubt.
Since the "no karma bonus" button doesn't seem to be working, someone please mod me offtopic.
I know it's not always your own fault, but you can affect that. With driverless you cannot.
Nope. Someone runs a red ligh and you're going to be t-boned. Brake suddenly because someone pulls out right in front of you and get rear ended by the tailgater.
And brake failure or a blowout or other mechanical failure would be far worse than a software glitch. A driverless car would have prevented this accident. And you already have a lot of computerized functions in your car -- spark plug timing, fuel control, ABS, air bags, among other computerized automotive systems. It seems that a glitch in ABS software could result in a crash, but I've never heard of that happening.
"Screw Sony" a troll? Do you work for them or something??? XCP, otherOS, insecure customer data? I won't say screw Sony, I'll say FUCK Sony in the ass with a hot soldering iron. Someone should be in prison for XCP. Sony should have gone out of business long ago, and would have if people weren't stupid.
Only a damned fool buys a Sony product. Oh, and BTW, I've been modded down for this exact type of comment against Sony.
My Acer's about the same size and a little lighter than a hardbound book. I've never used a backpack and I've lugged books around for half a century, the computer's no big deal to carry. It would be if it were fifteen inches; I wouldn't want to lug around any of those big coffee table books.
Obama has not told his so-called Justice Department to shut up about medical marijuana--continuing a harassment policy began by his Republican predecessor. There are no choices in politicians these days, only marketing.
You don't have to vote for a man who wants to incarcerate you. You can vote Green or Libertarian, bot those parties are for ending prohibition. Why are you wasting your vote on a man who wants you in prison? Anybody smoking pot or using any other illegal drug is an idiot if he votes R or D.
I was going to RTFA, when I got there I discovered a fairly short page framed in an ugly pink with little content whatever. Too bad, I haven't tried GNOME in a long time and haven't tried Unity at all.
Too bad there's no real article. Maybe you guys can help with your comments.
I've only known one or two junkies, but they DO get high on it if there's no real heroin around. The problem with it isn't the junkies, though, the problem is that it depresses the central nervous system for days rather than hours, making it incredibly easy to OD on.
Looks to me like the war on drugs is more important than people's lives. But I guess I'd be foolish to think that lives trump ideology in a politician's mind.
I'd say cost for OSX, but windows is another animal entirely. You have to either leave your PC with no password (unwise if you're going to connect it to the internet) or you have to enter the password every time you boot. Linux (at least KDE) lets you have a default account that the password is entered for you as it boots.
When it does boot, Windows comes up naked; all the apps and documents you had open when you booted it are now closed. KDE defaults to having your computer boot to the state it was when you shut it off, and if you like the Windows way you can change it. Linux gives you choice, Microsoft does not.
Linux is far more forgiving of hardware problems.
You're required to boot a Windows computer once a month, whenever you install any new software, and whenever you update any drivers. Linux has no such limitations.
Linux has no registry, that abomination that slows your computer down as it grows daily.
Linux connects to a time server automatically. It has to be set up manually in Windows using 3rd party software.
Linux is fairly easy to network, Windows tries to make it hard. My copy of Win 7 says it will only connect to a network with a running copy of Win 7 Pro, but kubuntu networks with it easily.
There is no AV needed for any OS except Microsoft's.
Linux wallpaper can be movies or slide shows. Not Windows.
The only thing I like better about Windows is I can set it to hide the bar at the bottom of the screen; that feature isn't available in KDE.
Nope, too big to lug around. I like my Acer's 11 inch screen, and it's run everything I've thrown at it. It streams videos while torrenting bits and serving files to the "big" computer without a hiccup, so it's plenty powerful for everything I need it for.
Hell, the first TV I ever bought had a 12 inch screen. Mybe you kids need glasses?
The point is it, like all sins except one, it's forgiveable, and it isn't up to that stupid Baptist preacer in Florida or anyone else to judge gays or anyone else. "Judge not, lest you be judged yourself".

On top of that, those drives are noisy; home and other desktop users usually like quiet drives.
Amen to that, mine recently started going Chong! Chong! Chong! Chong! Chong! Now I have to take the damned computer apart... I hate noisy drives!

It is not how you drive, its how you manager the drivers around you that makes you a good driver.
If you're trying to manage the drivers around you, you're a terrible driver. You don't want to "manage" them, you want to avoid them.
That's incredibly easy to do.
The same dust in the asteroid belt that blurs images from today's telescopes would decrease light pollution from the sun.
