I prefer to live were I do currently; a big town which is convenient, scenic, not crazy busy and is very easy to have a nice quiet walk.|||@Skeletalz In the interest of time and patience, I think we can conclude that you don't see the value of an SSD and overestimate their costs. In terms of reliability, hundreds of terrabytes of writes...|||SSDs don't wear out. They simply fail after some hundreds of TB writes, and performance degradation is negligible. And come on, when you use a computer, you're always opening and closing stuff,...|||Good point. Though I suppose if it does become a forum (or sub-forum) then it should be limited to members with 10+ posts.|||SSDs are a necessity, especially if storage capcity isn't a concern.

Even if you're working with small...|||Putting things/people in a hypothetical box is nothing more than labelling a subset of the shared peoperties of those things/people. For example, labelling a group of people as Liberals is a way...|||Given the number of views this thread has, I presume many people feel this way. I'm not sure why though. I don't really interact with many people but I don't feel like I'm another species. Sure,...|||Yes it's interesting because people tend to be far more revealing online than in person. It'll be interesting if eventually with augmented reality people make their profiles visible so you can see...|||I'm wondering what people's motives are for using this site - especially those who do so on a regular basis. I tend to be drawn to this site when I'm feeling a bit lonely and just want some...|||If you don't plan on doing any gaming, then there are plenty of options for under $1000, even in ultra-book form.

I'd recommend high-level programming languages to begin with an then work your way towards more complex...|||In this context, I think maybe he's got some issues and doesn't know if he can trust you with them. Golden rule: be honest in how you feel and what you want, and make these apparent. Things will...|||Happy music. I love House, Trance, Drum n Bass - anything uplifting. But I also appreciate classical, more mellow and/or instrumental pieces. On balance, music that makes me feel any emotion...|||The best way to learn programming is to do it in your own time.

Sometimes the simplest, most routine pleasures can be the most satisfying, even on...|||If you and this guy really connect and he likes you, then maybem just maybe, he'll understand. But I'm skeptical of having multiple relationships like that. I'm sure it can work, but to make it...|||Don't know, don't care.|||ENFJs, based on being extraverted (so more likely to make their position known to others) and, being Js, more likely to be opinionated and have a view of what's right. Just my intuition|||It makes me so happy that threads like this (and, more importantly, people like YOU) exist! I don't know why or how, I mean, it's all just words on a page but somehow, knowing there are positive,...|||I think you could perhaps get to know them a bit better before deciding on how close you want your friendship to be with them. Good friendships are formed over time; with that will come trust. Once...|||Somepony sweet to cuddle :proud:|||Not really.

At least it would be that if I had the courage and met the right people more often.|||As a software developer and computer science researcher, I agree that being proud of computer illiteracy / technology in general is foolish and rather arrogant; though I don't think I've ever come...|||Nothing to contribute but it's amusing that this thread has over 50k views and only 42 replies|||Boredom is a symptom of the potential to be 95% satisfied / happy.

Should've made it a poll.|||Hmm it's probably not uncommon, but I believe the solution is to take things less seriously.
