    just installed my Intel SSD

    I never said it was a hard drive. I consider it an SSD. An SSD, Solid State Drive. Last time i checked DDR memory was considered Solid State. Whether or not it has batteries included doesn't change the fact that it's still an SSD.

    just installed my Intel SSD

    Another thing I may add, you wanted an example of a disk storage medium that has random reads/writes equivalent to it's own sequential read/writes. You essentially showed yourself the example with your own screenshot. If your ramdrive was a normal drive with a SATA/300 interface, it would...

    just installed my Intel SSD

    Since we're talking about SSD's, whether or not you've seen any spindle-based harddrive system perform better than 14MB/s for 4k random reads is irrelevant. Your little screenshot only supports the fact that the Intel SSD sucks. As for an example, I base my benchmarks on the Gigabyte i-RAM...

    just installed my Intel SSD

    pathetic scores, when intel can produce SSD's with random read 4KB speeds that match their sequentials, then that'll be something worth talking about.

    CA High Speed Rail

    the reason why almost all construction projects drag on forever and go over budget is easy to conceptualize. As a construction worker, it is in their best interest to do a shitty job and take forever. Because in their mind, the sooner they complete the job, then the sooner they'll be out of...

    More good news from GM, Ford

    Why is the American automotive industry failing? One word: Unions. Although the companies are partly to blame, most of the blame should be put on those retarded union workers who dropped out of highschool to raise 5 children and cry when they can't get a $75/hour job making crap ass cars...

    as a California resident and voter, I plan to vote no on Prop 1A for these reasons: 1. Way to expensive (3x the estimated cost) Look at the SF Bay Bridge's cost over-runs and delays 2. California is on the verge of bankruptcy and cannot afford this project 3. Prime example of pork barrel...

    ARE multiple banks (particuarly Wachovia) going to fail next week if nothing comes out of Washington?

    what will cause Wachovia to fail is what caused WaMu to fail; dumb people that ran and closed their bank accounts due to mass fear and panic.

    After WaMu, Wachovia Is Next On Market Hit-List

    lol at the people who are going to throw money at Wachovia stock to try to cash in on bailout speculation. just like those folks who lost everything doing the same with Wamu.

    Another CEO story...WAMU's CEO get's 13.5 million for 18 days on the job.

    theres nothing wrong with this. You pay money for the services rendered, its not the CEO's fault the FDIC decided to ninja Wamu. A good analogy are lawyers, you pay top dollar for them but whether or not you win/lose in court you still got to pay the fees.

    career choice: Financial Analyst.

    My wife will be in China for about 4 mos. what is the best way to send her money.

    The way I brought money into China was open a Bank of China account and then wired a lump sum into it from my Washington Mutual. Or if your wife has a chinese bank account, you can do a remittence via Bank of China, but they charge a $20 fee. The China Construction Bank idea sounds like a...
