Error'd: Only the Beginning

I have been surprised to find that some people who are in technologyfields don't have a clear grasp on the difference between RAM and "disk" storage. Or perhaps more accurately these days, "Direct Access Storage Devices." I've eventually become accustomed to it from ordinary folks, butPC World?

An anonymous reader sent in this one, explaining "Yep. According to PC World Starfield will require 125GB of available RAM so you'll need at least 128 GB or more RAM installed to play.The Steam page correctly list the item as Storage: 125 GB available spaceso this is completely on PC World. To add insult to injury the post is titledBethesda's Starfield PC system requirements: An SSD is mandatoryso you'd expect at the very least to get the storage requirements right.Rush to print, trip and fall flat on your face. Thanks for the WTF, PC World!"

Child prodigyColin C. puzzled "I'm really not sure how I created files seven years before I was born; maybe I'm just precocious."

Poet Pawe Szymaski lamented that he can't squeezethe word about into a haiku, reciting
"Haiku writers hate

Time Lord Neil G. declares AWS knows how to do chronological sorting."This really made it easy to find the Load Balancer that got created yesterday..."

Convalescing Adam R. thinks that bad math is an insurance WTF. "My bill said I owed $146.66 as of 7/5, with one insuranceclaim still pending. Now as I go to pay the bill, theyclaim I owe $238.77, but clearly something doesn't add uphere: the math still says I should owe $146.66 from thesenumbers. I *presume* this is because the insurance claimsettled during the interim, and they updated the balance,but not the charges." I can tell you, bad math is noteven the beginning of insurance WTFs.
