In 2011 I bought a 2TB WD for around £50[0], and barring some pricing oddities on that particular drive as it went out of production you can still buy 2TB drives for around £50-60[1] with £60 being where the price should be with the rate of

It's for that reason that I consider the first one to be the more efficient and 'chaotic' design despite the straight lines. It's optimised for production, repair or replacement in the field using nothing but metal stock

It seems like many earlier civilisations came about purely because the starting conditions were ideal, although Egypt is likely the best and longest lasting example of this. Even into late antiquity Rome was heavily reliant on North Africa

I fully agree, if somebody is falsely advertising a 3 bedroom flat/house on AirBnB they'll lose the court case purely on advertising laws, I was just replying to the linked act since it doesn't really define what a bedroom is

It should be noted that this act doesn't define what a bedroom is, it only says that a room is available as sleeping accommodation if it's a type of room that's normally used as a bedroom or a living room. This would likely r

Had a similar problem when buying a used copy of Metal Gear Solid 1 on the PS1, the game and both discs worked fine but if you died on the second disc while in story mode the game would lock up. Added a bit of extra difficulty at any rate!

Intel does provide 28/40 lanes on HEDT, at least starting with x99. I'm not sure about previous generations. The 16/20 lanes is for general consumer CPUs.
