Only I know what I want. And, apparently, only everybody else knows what the rest of the community wants. Like it or not, your question is not just for you. This isn't a place for selfishness ... it's a place for communal Q&As.

| May 31, 2010 at 16:48 | comment | added | Pekka | while I can understand your frustration, I think Jeff has a point here. "What should I buy with X budget?" questions are kind of the equivalent of "Please fix this code for me" questions on SO. Figuring out how to spend one's budget is hard, hard work. There are numerous individual factors to consider to make a good recommendation, and numerous questions to ask. Every recommendation you make will be countered by counter-recommendations that make as much sense as the original. Such questions are not likely to be a productive resource for future generations. | |

| May 30, 2010 at 19:23 | comment | added | Tony_Henrich | Forget what I said earlier. xeon vs opteron was just an impromptu example. I am making a general statement here about the purpose for the two sites and that they don't serve long tail questions but more general questions. | |
| May 30, 2010 at 19:05 | comment | added | quack quixote | you didn't ask about xeon vs opteron; you asked which cpu you should buy for $X budget. | |
