And right now trying to sell off HERE, if you haven't been keeping up with the news. At the moment it seems a consortium of German auto manufacturers is the likeliest buyer.

Admittedly I don't follow the stock market so closely, or at all - but at what point did Goldman Sachs become a German and/or French company? You know, the ones that helped the Greek government become a part of EMU/Euro, which they never should have been a part of?

You are saying this as if these were somehow imposed upon the Greek. There were other players, sure, but it takes two to tango.

There's at least one semi-external enclosure, that replaces the HDD cover with a slightly taller version that one can fit a 3.5" drive in. But according to reviews, it seems to perform worse than the stock drive (at least with a 3TB drive), so I'm not sure that's advisable - games probably assume that the HDD works at least as fast as the stock one.

...or Javascript (/Ecmascript) objects, rather.

O RLY? As a Finn you see them frequently in the commenting section of any popular newspaper website. If the article is about Russia, the shills will be there. Very amusing to see the exact same comment, word to word, posted at the same time by two different "people".

Voice, rather.

If that is your criteria, then perhaps Arch shouldn't count either - sure, it is not a source-based distro (the only package I compile frequently is Firefox, and that is due to it being the KDE-friendly fork, kudos to OpenSUSE for that), but still very much bleeding edge. Remarkably stable at that, but comparable to to Debian Unstable.

Oh, I'm not saying Arch Wiki is infallible (although, it is correct pretty much the whole time). I was just looking for rationalization to discard or not to discard. As a personal anecdote, this Zenbook has been running discard since day 1 (24GB SSD and 500GB HDD, discard on the first drive only of course) - the OS partition (the 24GB drive, ext4) is still spanking fast. Although, it has never been close to running out of space (/var is on the HDD).

Arch, at least.

Care to elaborate on that? My bible says that discard is the first choice, fstrim when that isn't applicable for whatever reason. Bear in mind that I use Linux mostly as a desktop OS, so whatever caveats there may be in server use do not affect me.

So, you are saying Apartheid should have continued as it is?

Have you tried installing Kscreen? You should probably find it for whatever distribution you are using. It seems to be good at remembering different external monitor settings, just plug in the cable and you're good to go.

OK, let us switch kitchen refurbishing for marriage. Then consider the following:

Tell me, how is that rational? Unless some religions are indeed more equal than others.
