Disable your caches! now!

What? Your computer is just 1/3 as fast as it used to be?

Computing is about lying -- and trying to not get caught.

Not always, or not in this respect.  There are applications where, in essence,
a real time kernel is (leading to quick responses to real world events or
similar are) necessary, sometimes for the protection of life or limb (as Gene
has alluded to).

nice red herring, but those aren't going to be dependent on a commodity hard drive unless someone really screwed up.
