@JorgeCastro As I said last time - that's not a viable way of dealing with things because the pool is huge. It might be possible to introduce a teamwork element to it (where people can get assists) but for now if you want people to help you get the question sorted, you have to pull people onto it. Either chucking it in here, bounties, bumping the question by voting/commenting/etc on it, etc, etc.
@jrg Aside from a few small bugs (like the one @JorgeCastro just highlighted) it's fairly stable. But it does need optimising and caching a little bit before general release and I've got minus free time at the moment. Things should be a little better after Christmas so we can crack on then.
@Oli my main problem isn't that the pool is too big for it, it's that there's nothing more I can do for the question so I can't move on to the next one because my queue is full
I could easily use all my votes in day using cleanup alone
@OctavianDamiean Well the first one I bought was a 60gig OCZ Agility. That was my main desktop drive for a while until I replaced it with the current 120gig OCZ Revo (PCI-E) which is awesome. The Agility went to live in a laptop but died a week or so ago. Its in the process of getting RMA'd but to tide us over I bought a 60GB OCZ Agility 3 which seems a good balance between speed and price.
@JorgeCastro That's true enough. I used somebody else's laptop the other day with a 5400rpm drive and thought it was broken because the boot was taking so long.
either way, i'll i'm saying is; from a guy who spends more on his pc in a month than I spend on Food in a year - he says the last upgrade anyone should get is SSD
@AmithKK You can get DDR2 bays that take 8 sticks and keep information on them backed up by battery and an optional CF card. They only use SATA though so they're not operating anywhere near their capacity though. PCI-e SSDs are where the speed is at.
i've used his pc (windows 7) and I do notice a difference when loading up larger applications - but for the additional cost is it really worth it? consider they have almost halfed in price in the past 12 months.

Each time I start my machine, I have to log in 3 times. I spent a week in IRC>Freenode>#ubuntu and got nothing but condescension. I've searched on the official Ubuntu fora for similar problems, tried every recommendation, and still get 3 login s...
@rlemon I paid £220 for my 120gig RevoDrive and I'd pay that again in a heartbeat if it died and couldn't be replaced quickly under warranty. (Though I'd probably spend more on a slightly shinier version)
@rlemon It's not just loading times - it's anything that uses the disk which is quite a lot on the desktop. Compiling things like the kernel took minutes less too.
I have a HP Pavilion zx5280us laptop (it says HP Pavilion zx5000 on the physical laptop but it's really an HP Pavilion zx5280us when detected on the HP website) and I installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside Windows XP Professional x86. I tried to use a wireless connection but it said "device not ready (...
Boss just casually informed me that the new PC i'm building at home I could write off as a business expense!
me: Whaaaa?!?!! him: you do work at home correct? me: sometimes him: well i'm not going to expense 'sometimes' and your not getting a laptop so write it off.
