Samsung just announced a 4TB SSD for $1500 USD. Now I have to replace all the drives in my 16TB array  (Don't I wish I had $6000 sitting around doing nothing)

How do you spell "want"? My brain's stopped focussing on such thing.

Wow...
SSDs are definitely coming of age! 
|

Sounds expensive. Or maybe that's the list price?

They'll come down in price: in two years or so they should be affordable!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

16 (15,36) Terrorbites ssd will be released sometime soon. So save your $6000 and be prepared to shell out $10000 or what they might be priced at.

If spinning drive capacity increased at the same pace at SSD's, we'd all have 64TB drives by now. At least.
Hard drive manufacturers really need to get their act together.

Yeah, but think of the requirements:
In order to maintain 2.5 inch sizing, you would need platters as thin as parchment; a breakthrough in magnetic domain management/read/write; a really fast head assembly, etc.
SSDs are the coming thing, and I have a box of 2 - 4 TB 2.5 and 5.25 inch mechanical hard drives I may be able to move at $30 each

Most desktop hard drives are still 3.5", you're thinking laptop hard drives or SSDs. I'm not suggesting spinning drives must match the physical dimensions of SSDs.
Besides, most drive bays are still 5.25" wide. I'm all for bringing back the old drive format if this is what's needed to increase capacity. Or use two hard drive bays, just like some video cards can occupy 2 PCI slots.

OK. I'll bite. Pay me $30 each and I will take them off your hands! 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

She'll be dead within a couple of years, so why worry?

Don't you know she is immortal.

Where have you been? That was announced yonks ago!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I know. I couldn't resist it.

What I want to know is how she is going to get all that hair inside the helmet?

She might need to shorten or even to be bold.

Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2016 Results[^]
I don't care if this is a Leslie, so save your breath. With that said, I love this statistical research stuff, and I found the results this year to be interesting. Javascript is most popular programming language, stuff like that...
The chart on Star Wars vs. Star Trek was hilarious, but predictable. Old farts love Star Trek more than Star Wars, but we all knew that already.
Enjoy, or not.

It's been while since I saw it. Indeed that a good statistics.

Be careful, though. Take VIII. Desktop Operating System for example. If you tab through the past few years, the migration looks striking: "Mac OS X is taking over the world!"
But if you add up the total Windows OS bars in each year, you get a different picture: There has been virtually no shifts in 4 years between the big three (Win ~ 50% / OSX ~ 20-25% / Lin ~ 20% // 2013-2016). The visual design of this particular graph is remarkably deceiving.

These stats are ridiculous.
Most developers are between 25-29 and yet the second most years of experience are 11+ years. OK, I get that 14 year old's are doing stuff, but I wouldn't count that as "professional" experience.
This isn’t necessarily professional experience
Hah.
Then, 28% (the largest group) consider themselves full-stack web developers, but in the Programmers, Engineers, and Developers chart, "Full-Stack Developer" ranks 5th. How does that correlate???
Maybe I'm just annoyed because I rank in the 3% age group.
