"A small handful of doctors in China are..."

Is "small handful" common usage in English?

"streamed to the internet" what do you mean?

-Your friendly neighborhood sheriff.

You will see what I will do of your dash cam and your silly evidence next time I stop you AC.

Your friendly neighborhood sheriff.

Is this /.? Buying a house and downsizing? I assumed he lived in a smaller place right now than the house he is going to buy.

So time to start collecting and piling up old computer junk from relatives and friends for the big move and plan the lab he is going to build in his new house. I am sure he can fit some file storage in there...

Because it is a well known fact that forces recrut on /. to pilot drone. You can't change your mind after firing at something. Hence, it is part of the training.

Your rigth, they're speling misstakes allmost everry times, on everry articles. I volunter to give free lesons.

Swapping to disk is good to clear up space for disk buffers/cache space. Especially when swapping out part of programs that leak memory-wise. I never understood the obsession some have about not swapping. Don't try to oversmart the kernel.

You have a point, it depends how often you boot I guess... I don't boot that often myself. I never minded about fast-booting that much myself especially with hibernate and sleep.

Are you serious? You can't be, floppies stored more than that. Anyway, my first hard drive was 20MB and I am serious...

Simple, they pay you twice as much as you used to pay them and you get the goods on top of that !

Say you use to pay 100$ for something, now you get it for -200$, that's a 300% price drop.

It is already happening and has been for a long time. All modern OS use RAM buffers/cache. Put more RAM in your computer.

Hmm... you get better performance with a lot of RAM. Put at least 4GB or more in your laptop and the OS will cache hard drive content in RAM (buffers/cache) making things go a lot faster. RAM not used by programs will typically be used by the OS to cache hard drive or SSD data. RAM is much faster than SSD.

So, scaling down on memory is a bad idea, scaling down on CPU is acceptable. With a lot of RAM, you won't notice the SSD gains as much compared to an hard drive.

Then, I'll just install my own webmail interface that is going to run with, you guessed it, a self signed cert. For now, I just piggy back on Google, trading off privacy concerns for not having to maintain my own webmail interface.

Everything already goes through my mail server and nobody uses my gmail address.

Well, no. Self signed certs protect you from somebody simply sniffing the wire. Hijacking the traffic to redirect it to another host requires more effort...
