I fondly remember this line from MAD magazine: If a student takes six hours to write a paper by hand, how long would it have taken had he used a pencil?
Maybe even longer:

In the next video, a couple of people had lots of books and lots of time and a lot of creativity went into it, too:

Two Nice Browser Games
11. January, 2012If you’re looking for a simple game to fill a five-minute gap, here are two by Microsoft:
- Pirates Love Daisies (tower defense)
- Cut the Rope (logic puzzle)
Even though developed to show off IE9, they work perfectly well in Chrome.

Woes of Too Much RAM
12. October, 2011Usually, you can’t have too much memory in your PC but there is one exception: When you have lots but not enough.
Example: I have Eclipse (1.5GB), Chrome (1.6GB), Firefox (1GB), VirtualBox (2GB) and a Maven (1.3GB) build running. Plus 20 console windows.
That’s roughly 8GB in total which is the amount of real RAM I have installed.
The problem arises when the real memory is exceeded. I do have 8GB of swap but do you have any idea how long it takes to swap out 1-2GB of RAM to a harddisk?
Ages.
When you have lots of RAM, you don’t think about starting something else which might need lots of memory like GIMP or a video editor or starting WebSphere. All of a sudden, your whole computer freezes and you think “WTF? Did it crash? What’s going on?”
A lot of RAM can be bad
