and Christians think the universe is only ~2500 years old. Next shitty article, please.

Why even post this article. It's 2 lines. "Oh we found something", well good for you, how about telling us what you actually found?

I'm assuming by not enabling deduplication.

Not until I can boot it without using an initrd.

Use it now before Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O'Donnell's asses explode.

Retarded windows admins.

Even that is too diluted for something that banks don't even understand.

... they started churning out 50 different currencies like dogecoin. Seriously, who can keep track these days?

Just because you're only using 4 doesn't mean you don't need more. There is quite a bit of overhead in terms of IO caching that could benefit from 2x your actual workload. At which point, you'll probably never need swap, but you should probably keep a couple gigs free for that just in case.

16gb should be the new minimum, especially with today's piggy browsers. Lately on Win7, 4gb just doesn't cut it. 8 should be fine for now, but memory is cheap, so I'm saying 16gb.

Uh, no. NTP needs to be redesigned so it doesn't use UDP anymore so we can stop worrying about spoofing and amplification/recursion attacks.

Before you have a heart attack, I should warn you that I am not the AC posting here. And yes, when linux hibernates, it pushes memory to swap. If you don't have enough swap during a hibernate, the system treats its as a OOM condition, and finds the largest app to close, which is usually X or your browser. Also, if you think that suspend or hibernate "just work" without having to configure your system to do it, then you're a hand-holding fedora/ubuntu user and have no idea how linux really works.

Suspend and hibernate work great for me on Windows... Linux on the other hand requires all sorts of kernel and bootloader changes, plus god forbid you use a lot of memory to start with, and find out half your apps got forcefully terminated because they couldn't fit in swap space.

Sure, we're doomed here, global warming and all that bs... and colonization/terraforming is a while away from now, so we should deal with our crap at home then think about getting off this stinking rock.

By those same standards, do you think Billary is going to win "because woman"? Or Donald Trump "because rich white guy from TV"?
