what is the point of upgrading computer hardware nowadays anyway?

Man, Hotmail Outlook needs bigger checkboxes. It's too easy to accidentally deselect several emails just because I missclicked one checkbox.

I agree.
I hate that I have 50 mails checked for deleting then accidentally click one pixel outside of the box poof all deselected..

Change your netbook OS to linux? linux mint or puppy linux?

Perhaps you can send your mails to Microsoft and see if they can add option to enlarge the checkboxes or specifically their GUI

You can also send email to Microsoft asking them to send you the emails you deleted by mistake, they backed them up for you even before they arrived in your inbox. All in the good intent of making a safer society

[distrowatch.com] Distribution Release: Debian GNU/Linux 7.0

After many months of constant development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 7.0. This new version of Debian includes various interesting features such as multiarch support, several specific tools to deploy private clouds, an improved installer, and a complete set of multimedia codecs and front-ends which remove the need for third-party repositories. Multiarch support, one of the main release goals for Wheezy, will allow Debian users to install packages from multiple architectures on the same machine. This means that you can now, for the first time, install both 32- and 64-bit software on the same machine and have all the relevant dependencies correctly resolved, automatically.

To keep it up and running fast.
If you are on a laptop well you really can't upgrade the hardware.. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Unless your really smart and know what the hell you are doing.

Now the last thing I thought.
I wonder if I friends mom that works for Geek squad can fix my laptop?
I can't turn it off when I get off cus it acts like it don't want to boot up.
It will spend about 20 mins on just the Boot up screen (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
It's not old I got it just last year.

I doubt HDDs or SSDs will work for a decade nowadays. The bigger they get - the shorter they live.

Late post buuuuut I just had to..


First of that's not "really" true, when it comes to HDD.
Remember in the 90's all the jokes about hdd's crashing?
Heck Apple even made commercials based on that exact thing.
Mainly (I would guess) was because it was too expensive and wasn't just possible to sell enterprise HDD targeted towards the average PC (those enterprise HDD were huge and quite dangerous too since it used gas).

HDD these days are more stable than ever before due to size reduction and of course due to S-ATA (I'm sure there are 8193741934 other reasons too I'm not including).
But even then you CAN recover a clicking HDD quite easily if you got the right environment (no dust) and the right tools (which is why law enforcement can still image your drive even if you've burnt the disks).

So HDD might not be stable to run on and on for more than about.. 10-15 years these days but it sure as hell can hold that data forever.

And when it comes to SSD's the enterprise models right now can sustain at least 10 times more than of a normal HDD.
Heck the Intel SSD I got, could sustain 7GB per day for about 75.37 Years.
And I've seen enterprise endurance checks lasting way longer than 100 years.

BUT that does not mean it's "stable enough" since the controller can still break or the firmware might be shit which can break the SSD and render it useless.
AND it does mean that the smaller the cells the quicker they burn up.
Besides we will soon have 3D optical data storage and when IBM finds the ultimate limit on how far the storage capacity can be set I doubt we will ever worry about stability.

Anyhow OpenBSD 5.3 got released and FreeBSD are now in top 20 on distrowatch.
Why haven't you celebrated yet the year of BSD?!

Firewall - OpenBSD
Server 1 (master) - FreeBSD
Jail 1 - Debian
Jail 2 - FreeBSD
Jail 3 - FreeBSD
jail 4 - FreeBSD
Server 2 (slave) - FreeBSD

Desktop - Win7 x64, Archlinux

FreeBSD in top 20 is mostly your doing GanGun (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I love the FreeBSD kernel too, is much better than Linux, but when you want to build a handful seedboxes doing it with a linux distro is so much easier. And this will make things even easier:

... Debian 7 Weezy ... Multiarch support, one of the main release goals for Wheezy ...

I'm thinking about trying PC-BSD. Looks like it's easier to handle than vanilla BSD.

Well I use Debian too as you can see!
That counts for.. about 16%!

It's a very interesting distro that's for sure, since it got custom made tools to make it much easier to handle certain things (such as jails).

my point though is that today's cpus are more then fast enough for almost everything already. Not much point in upgrading IMHO...

You're starting to sound a lot like those guys when the first 1Ghz CPU was made.

Of course we need it! While optimization is crucial the more CPU power you have the faster the operation and you can even run more programs without having to worry about slow CPU performance.

Not fast enough for HD video conversion.

that is the only thing i can think of that would want me to get a faster cpu but... i think i am too cheap to upgrade
