    If you remove the windows\software distribution folder you get similar results for the OS.

    You have already tried the only way to reduce the size after installation. The only other supported way is to reinstall the OS with current updates slipstreamed. The problem is the same on server OSes.

    I want to buy a new car

    That does seem to be a good option. My memory was that they had only been back a 3 years which would not be enough data for CR. Sometimes it is good to be wrong.

    Dropped my GTab in some water...

    Good idea but you will need to vent the humid air the Tab is releasing to do the job or put a hydrophilic absorbent in there with it, like rice. :) I would eat the rice later.

    I want to buy a new car

    First time I've ever hard that characterisation of American vs Japanese cars and certainly not my experience. I've driven 3 Japanese cars over 200k miles. 4 cars ago I drove a Nissan. At about 100k I sucked some water into the intake and bent the piston rod on cyl 4 so badly it knocked a slot in...

    I want to buy a new car

    What is Fiat's reliability reputation in the rest of the world? I wouldn't know what Peugeot's current reputation was either since they have not been made here in so long. It used to be that you wanted a German mechanic and French or Italian lover and not visa versa.

    Jobs with LOTS of spare time

    Like others, I haven't had work hours downtime in 2.5 years. In between the break/fix, project implementation, and fixing things that were implemented incorrectly. I've also a few projects going on outside of work hours. Its always a matter of deciding what thing is not as urgent as the other...

    They wont install or you have issues after the install? I resolved the second issue for myself but not the first.

    High(ish) end SSDs

    Hard to know what you mean by "stand up well". Doug has answered your question regarding wear out but I actually took your question to be about write speeds. If you leave 10-20% unpartitioned space at the end of the user accessible area you will create a cushion that will help preserve both...

    Looking in my proxy logs, there is nothing exotic there. All port 80 and all to either folding.Stanford.edu or assign5.Stanford.edu. I assume the assign server is part off a cluster and can be different for others.

    Argh, its always option 3! Thanks for a good discussion Chewy! Case in point, I looked up the SATA revision for the drives I recently purchased and it only lists SATA 6Gb/s.

    Fixing UEFI BSOD Errors after disk clone on Windows 7 or 8

    TR's SSD endurance test

    Strange. This would defeat the whole speed benefit of TRIM; to erase blocks in advance of needing them rather than just in time. Marking the page as unused is the normal process so either the TRIM command was not correctly issued or there is unexpected (to me) lag between issuance and...

    I've enjoyed getting up to speed on SSDs and the benefits/disadvantages. Thanks. Static wear leveling has such greater benefits for longevity and the cost can be mitigated by the over-provisioned area I can't imagine why a design would do otherwise.

    An S5 w/ Kitkat review noted that there were fewer S-apps and general S meddling. Something to do with a recent agreement with Google. I had wondered if that attitude would migrate to the S4 when it got Kitkat. Notice anything?

    Strange laptop repair/parts-finding issue

    I'm going to assume that this is an accurate picture​ of the ZIF socket. It is hard to tell in which direction the latch is providing force to develop a more elegant solution. My first thoughts are to superglue the broken latch with some reinforcement if needed. If the only solution appears to...
