^^^ gravity's rainbow - incredibly dense fiction based on the central metaphor of the parabolic arc of a V2 rocket, set in the european theater of WWII. encyclopedia like coverage of everything from polymer chemistry to obscure opera references. well worth the effort

^ I see those large SSD drives fail at an absolutely astonishing rate. We have a supercomputing cluster where I work (40,000 CPU cores, composed of blade-ish servers, 4U units with 8 modules, each module has dual 6-core xeons) with a ton of 256GB SSD's in it and about a third of them have failed in a year. I honestly recommend to people not to go above 128GB if you can avoid it, and ONLY keep your boot data there (I think you can set up MacOS to have a "system" partition on one drive and then basically keep all your data on magnetic).

It's also MUCH easier to recover data from magnetic drives (traditional spinning platters) than it is to recover data from a failed SSD drive. If you keep things you care about on your SSD and it fails and you don't use some kind of backup you are fucked.

And honestly there are some performance tweaks you can do that will give you at least SOME of the benefits of an SSD drive without actually having one. Put your swap on a thumb drive, or an SSD card, for example.

edit: did not mean to rep myself LOL

have you seen the same thing with hybrid ssd/hdd ? considering upgrading to 500 gb for my mid 2009 mbp

my cousin is my go to guy for pho reviews. he describes the best pho as "danky ass broth, chewy noodles, fresh meat. no post pho MSG head feel" he eats in portland. dunno what his spots are.

either way, whenever he visits me in seattle, i try to take him to some spots that i think are good, and he says they are all shit, and i agree. the best pho that we have found in seattle thus far is in a billiard hall on MLK where you don't really want to go during night time called billiard hoang. haha read this yelp review http://www.yelp.com/biz/billiard-hoang-seattle-2

any updates on better spots?
