    Reddit thinks of SSDs as cheap RAM

    SSD as cheap RAM... RAM from the late 70's early 80's... with a short lifespan. SSDs are GREAT for ROMs but extremely active data will murder them. "It’s not necessary to build a scalable architecture from the start." This is a BAD idea from personal experience, unless you're a kid with rich...

    Need your advice installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro

    As long as you use the mac images I don't see there being an issue. Use 13.04, it's much more modern... 13.10 is coming soon too.

    Did you know a 3rd world trade center tower fell on 9/11?

    WTC7's design was flawed because it was made to fit atop an odd space, it did not have a very strong foundation so when the side was severely damaged it was not rigid and tore itself down once the remaining structure heated up and softened. The twin towers fell because the structure was not...

    Taking a couple years off... College

    Maybe people are finally starting to realize almost all educational institutions are for-profit in one way or another, and the people running them care more about making money than education. There's a lot of things you can learn without needing college/university, especially thanks to the...

    Various Computer/Server components and devices (Some are FREE) -- Shipping from Canada

    What is size of your Monitor?

    1 - 24" 1920x1200 60Hz 3ms TN+ LCD 1 - 19" 1280x1024 60Hz 6ms IPS LCD 1 - 19" 1600x1200 75Hz flat CRT It's funny how the CRT has superior colour and contrast, was cheaper, and is much older... although it's a bit out of focus, need to tune it.
