You're either a troll or an asshat (same thing?) because you're commenting on things you know absolutely nothing about...
Are we talking computer memory? Because I'm entering my final year in my computer science degree. Or are we talking car tires? Because I used to be an auto mechanic. So either way you're wrong. As usual.You're either a troll or an asshat (same thing?) because you're commenting on things you know absolutely nothing about...
nice try but being a "computer science major" isn't going to cut it here... I know and so do many people on this forum know computer science majors that know nothing about computers as their knowledge is extremely narrow and specific to a task they do... As for what we're talking about, we're talking about both. You know nothing about cars or computers but you do seem to know about being a troll.Are we talking computer memory?

What is so "moronic" about GA's comment, anyways?

Sorry, GA posted correctly and you are incorrect.You're either a troll or an asshat (same thing?) because you're commenting on things you know absolutely nothing about...
Microsoft Works is a computer-related oxymoron.
Two morons doesn't make a right..Sorry, GA posted correctly and you are incorrect.
Wrong
If he was the one actually saying the quote, then I would agree with you. However, I think, as the OP was doing, he was posting a stupid saying that he has heard. Which I agree with him, memory is meant to be used, not sit around empty.wow you're a moron....
It's not that memory isn't meant to be used, it's just that it could be put to better use elsewhere.. Why do I need 800mb of memory just to listen to an MP3? I don't know about you but I like to multitask, something you can't do when you're using memory hogging applications. A lot of responses are "get more memory" but then it becomes this "one up" thing where computers get more memory and then programmers get lazier and make their applications less conservative in their memory usage. Also keep in mind that not everybody wants to upgrade their machines every few years "just because". You give someone a pay raise who is living paycheck to paycheck and then instead of them being better off, they just spend it all and are no better than when they started off..If he was the one actually saying the quote, then I would agree with you.

BTW, here's one that I absolutely hate. "MS is such a HORRIBLE company. Vista blows so bad, it is UNUSABLE! But Win7 is AMAZING!"
Programmers arent lazy. They're rushed and overworked.It's not that memory isn't meant to be used, it's just that it could be put to better use elsewhere..

Lazy programming is the reason why computers have technically gotten orders of a magnitude faster but when you actually use them with the latest software, it's like nothing has changed. A lot of people including myself hate flash because it runs like dog shit, well I don't like Vista because it runs like dog shit as well. Want another example of crappy programming? Why is it that GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas for the PC have ever increasing hardware requirements despite the fact that they look no better than their PS2 counterparts? Those games run and look like ass on the PC yet run and look fine (for what they are) on the consoles..
Programmers have gotten increasingly lazy with their programming and since they test their products on systems that are no less than 5 years old, they fail to see all the waste their programs have because the systems are able to cope with said programming.
I just don't like this trend and neither should you. Just because it's there, it doesn't mean you have to use it especially when you don't need it.

And do you know why?
Because the publishers demand products out the door in half the time they actually need.
And do you know why that is?
