Send me an SSD and I can. If we're going to have NSA and CIA type discussions in here, I want them loaded into my eyeballs as fast as loving possible.

WTF. You said I'd be in business. I assumed if I sent you $80, you were like some kind of electronics genie and I"d get

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-I...36%3A1253507011

or

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-STRIX-GT...in%3A6147184011


wtf is this rip off stuff, Dog House.

(Btw I had no idea solid states were that cheap now, I'll probably have to convince myself its worth it to move a lot of data over now and reinstall Windows.)

Wow, kids, depending on what your mobo is capable of, having 2 ssd's and whatever many tb of platter storage is really a good way to go.

1 small ssd for os, pop your documents/whatever on another drive and symlink them.
1 larger ssd for your games & or editing programs.
whatever else on platters, for music, films, archives, etc.

I hate being a huge loser with my HDDs. This thread has had some sick cases and some good info, but its also made me feel incredibly inadequate as a man, a person, a goon, and a gamer for not having an SSD.

Heading to E/N, thanks assholes.

Jastiger it's fine to have a spinning disk, people who say you shouldn't have any are loving idiots with nothing of any value to store in the long term, apparently, seeing as SSDs are nowhere near as shelf-stable

its not, its the precedent that everybody* is worried about. its the ultimate slippery slope. also of course all the pedos and people who look at murder porn and whatever the gently caress and idiots who actually care that the government can see what you bought on amazon or how many hours youve played league of legends, but mostly its the first part

i go back and forth between 'so what' and 'eeehhhhh idk if I like the state having that much control' but in general I feel like whatever it's happening there's nothing you can do about it and besides that the whole thing is probably run by incompetent buffoons just like every other thing in existence and barring an actual artificial intelligence sorting through all the data I just don't believe you can effectively monitor the goings on of the entire population like that.

i don't think it's difficult for each individuals info to be filed into a directory based on name, birth date, and social security number

they actually do hire some smart people to design some things and then the dmv idiot retard can just do their equivalent of a google search for all your poo poo
