Then be prepared to pay $19.99 per year for each website, even if you plan to view only one page on that site, because you are unwilling to pay for bundles of multiple sites. Look at 50 different sites one month? That'll be a thousand dollars.

I am truly ashamed right now. I'm pissed off too, at the Canadian government and bureaucracy that are increasingly taking their cues, and sometimes even their orders, from our Big Brother south of the border.

My country used to be better than this.

The issue is that 71% of RESPONDANTS said it was an issue.

You cant form any conclusion from that without knowing more information-- the size of the poll, whether people responded to other questions but not this one, etc.

Is the next step to add a 3D printer into the bezel of laptop displays?

As a user of Xubuntu who brings out the GIMP at least twice a week, I'm interested in how you'd name them better.

• What better name would you suggest for the GNU Image Manipulation Program? It "at least tries to vaguely describe the function of the program".
• How is Blender (English for "food processor", referring to a 3D modeling app) any better than Ubuntu (Zulu for "humankind", referring to a Linux distribution)? Is it just that English is historically more prestigious than Zulu as a naming language?
• Xfce (XForms Common Environment) used to be descriptive back when it used XForms, but it became an artifact title once Xfce switched to GTK+. The X part can be reinterpreted to refer to the X Window System, but then the F needs a meaning, a problem that it shares with FVWM (Something Virtual Window Manager).

LAME was developed in the same way, by replacing pieces of the ISO's reference MP3 encoder until it was finished in May 2000. Is there a better name for this "ship of Theseus" method?

What? You don't have a brainwave recorder with filters that pass only the audio portion? Get with the times dude!

too true. I like the servers with chat filters, which bring a level of amusement to the situation when the chat scrolls with tales of bananasing female dogs and so on

You have fallen into my trap: So then why did it have to be part of systemd at all? Why couldn't it just be improvements to one of the existing syslog daemons? Answer, NIH.

Equivalent means comparable physical size. Which 10" AMD laptop is any good?

Do you.... do you have an onion on your belt?

Its not wrong.
  1) TRIM simply alerts the drive when a block is ready for erasure; its right there in the article I linked. Its primary purpose is not reallocation or anything else; its just garbage collection for performance reasons.
  2) The endurance thing is ONLY if the firmware being used is using a hack to implement their own garbage collection which could induce write amplification. It does not, in itself, reduce endurance if the SSD isnt doing anything fancy / out-of-spec.
  3) Reads have no impact whatsoever on endurance. Only write / erase cycles do-- hence why they quote 1000 P/E cycles (where P= program and E= erase)

From the wikipedia article's opening paragraph:
A Trim command (commonly typeset as TRIM) allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally.

From Anandtech ....We run into these problems primarily because the drive doesn’t know when a file is deleted, only when one is overwritten. Thus we lose performance when we go to write a new file at the expense of maintaining lightning quick deletion speeds. .....There’s a command you may have heard of called TRIM. The command would require proper OS and drive support, but with it you could effectively let the OS tell the SSD to wipe invalid pages before they are overwritten.

The purpose of TRIM is performance-- NOT ENDURANCE. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH ENDURANCE except insofar as it replaces a manufacturer's proprietary and amplification-causing garbage collection. Older drives dont HAVE garbage collection, and TRIM does NOTHING for their endurance; all it does is eliminate the eventual performance crash.

You REALLY need to read up on TRIM, as you seem to not understand what it is that it does. To repeat: It does not have any effect on reallocations. It does scheduled erasures. If an erasure would cause a reallocation, that would happen regardless of whether it was during a scheduled TRIM, or during a "on-the-fly erase/write".
