| May 31, 2010 at 15:28 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | @devinb: Well said, but I think you meant "seeming contradiction" as opposed to "seeming tautology". In any case, I'm content with my manner. In this case I felt the treatment to my question was unjust, and I responded to the criticisms of my question accordingly. While I'd like to be able to argue a position like Spock, I am too human to hide my emotions completely. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 15:23 | comment | added | devinb | @Chris "You can make an argument without being argumentative" this seeming tautology is absolutely true and it is a commentary on your manner of presenting your arguments, rather than your disagreement. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 15:07 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | " You can make an argument without being argumentative " ... yeah, OK .. maybe I haven't mastered that paradoxical skill yet ;-) | |
| May 31, 2010 at 14:55 | comment | added | Gnome | You can make an argument for reopening without being argumentative and inflammatory. It will usually have more impact on rational forums (so politics excepted). @chr | |
| May 31, 2010 at 14:08 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | @The Cat: As for being argumentative, guilty as charged. I would hope people defend a well thought-out and on-topic question when confronted with swift unjust closure. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 14:05 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | @The Cat: What insults? | |
| May 31, 2010 at 4:44 | comment | added | quack quixote | @chris: my apologies for frustrating you with my stubbornness. i felt strongly enough about the original closing that i needed to see much more "community support" than 1 reopen vote and the few upvotes on this thread. had i seen it with 4 reopen votes, i would've cast the last vote myself. as i said, have patience. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 3:26 | comment | added | Gnome | @Chris: quack has acted in good faith, while you've consistently hurled insults and been argumentative. This casts you in a very negative light. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 0:25 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | Besides, you should be saving your moderator super-closing powers for egregious cases that demand attention, not posts that require you to talk in shades and nuance to justify your action. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 0:09 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | Not to mention your argument doesn't hold water. Subjective, my ass. Ever heard of benchmarks? And "marketing fluff"? I don't work for Seagate. I meant what I said. Your opinion of it being "marketing fluff" is, in and of itself, purely subjective. | |
| May 31, 2010 at 0:05 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | You said so yourself it is hard to get questions closed with votes; the same applies to re-open. Read the other answers here; those are the opinions of the community. You made a mistake in closing it with your sole vote. You should have let the community decide. | |
| May 30, 2010 at 20:17 | comment | added | quack quixote | @Chris W. Rea: i'm sorry, no. please reread my last paragraph, take a deep breath, and exercise some patience. thank you. | |
| May 30, 2010 at 19:18 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | Please reopen the question. Thank you. | |
| May 30, 2010 at 19:05 | comment | added | Chris W. Rea | "Performs better" is not subjective. Hardware can be measured. Boot times of a hybrid vs. boot times of HD + Readyboost, for instance. Additionally, hardware-minded folks might know of some very specific reasons why the device might outperform an ad-hoc combination. | |
