That's a good point actually. :D Their URLs are indeed quite wonky.
Really, people who buy HP are worse than people who pay for porn. They're a shitty, outsourcing, cost-cutting, printer cartridge filling shell of an engineering company. If you think anything they build is good, legacy products excepted, it's because you're too stupid to see what's wrong with it.
Please tell us what is the good brand then.
Outsourcing.
Power cables are always outsourced.
I suppose, but if your data is only small, a good OS will probably put it all together at the beginning of the drive anyway.
It depends on the file system. It's hard to say what strategy makes a "good OS". NTFS puts files sequentially, which gives the benefit that you will have lower seek times if you do not have that much data on your hard disk. The downside is fragmentation. Now, ext4 spreads the files over the volume, which avoids fragmentation efficiently. The downside is constantly high seek times across files.
So I have some optimism that 9 will be a viable upgrade for my PC and my tablet. Maybe I'll pick it up in December after some of the obvious bugs have been patched, but I'll probably wait until a major service pack in May or so.
The version of Windows 9 we might see end of the year will be just a preview version.
They should also include different colors for different builds. "It's approaching RTM so this is expected to be a purple or at least a blue build. Definitely purple I would say. Very unlikely to be red."
People love this kind of superficial shit.
but also includes morons who spew icons all over their desktop and think their hard drive is out of space once the desktop is full
Hmm, that's actually quite intuitive way to think about it. Let's not be arrogant nerds just because we know how files are actually stored on hard drive.
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
