I read an article this morning about falsehoods programmers believe about names (and probably the rest of you too). Reminds me of this:

When I set up my OpenSolaris server, in order to save on money I had to skimp a little on the disks. I’m only at about 33% capacity right now, but once I pass the 50% mark it will be a good idea to start shopping around for larger disks. By then nice cheap 2TB or 3TB drives should be available. But there’s no reason I can’t get prepared now!

The Beginning of a Nightmare One week ago my hard disk failed in my laptop, which is my primary computer. It wasn’t a big deal to me at the time because I knew it was going to fail. I had noticed the signs that I know full well indicate imminent disk failure. But without a full failure I wouldn’t be able to get it warranty repaired. So I waited. Until one week ago.
