I'm entertained by the fact that this hit their own legal firm.

Dell? No way! http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/technology/29dell.html

The Newton had it about right....

It ran smoother than the 32-bit version. A lot of people said that the 64-bit loaded levels faster, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Personally, I prefer to run 64-bit native when there's no apparent penalty. Whether it really was better or not is neither here nor there. The issue...

And, as technicians, many of us should appreciate that.

I've only recommended a Panasonic once -- to an army guy who really needed something practically indestructible, but nothing otherwise fancy. For the rest of us, there's Lenovo and a warranty.

If it's a work machine or, worse, one's only machine, that's practically forever. The longest that I've seen someone wait with the on-site warranty is two days -- because they initially overnighted the wrong part.

Maybe if you had a better understanding of how Windows used memory, you would.

I love how Steam disabled the 64-bit versions of HL2 games on my computer without notice. That was awesome.

Another form before function device from Apple.

I'm just imagining some guy in a cowboy hat and boots having this forwarded to him as funny, but, instead, exploding and calling his representative on the pork board....

I feel like the Who have a more "investigative" quality than a bar quality to their music....

Better yet, it's unnecessary.

Has anyone actually ever used the IBM/Lenovo depot warranty? I always specify on site. It seems easy to convince everyone that's worth shelling out.

I find that vorbis always sounds better than an MP3 at about the same bitrate. So, I'd have to agree. It seems odd that anyone would use anything other than the reference encoder in something resembling commercial software.

Maybe that's because one of them is a compilation album? Honestly, I think Quadrophenia is their best album. At least, it made a better movie than Tommy did....

Hopefully, flight simulators will also come with a barf bag....

One of my significant other's coworkers used to hold a regular game night, and stuff like San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Catan were popular. We also played a lot of German games (I guess there some board game conference there every year). I've also owned a copy of Fluxx since the 1.0 days. Many...

Crosfire now runs through the PCI-E bus.

As far as I can tell, it's just Firefox minus some non-critical stuff that most people don't use, with compiler optimizations. I didn't find any compatibility issues with my extensions and plugins.

I actually asked here about this a month or so ago, and got resounding silence. I used it for a while, but didn't find any real noticeable difference between it and stock. In fact, I found that it used more memory, rather than less.

And it won't be user updateable.

This wouldn't have anything to do with PowerBoost, would it?

Do yours get slower towards the edge of the drive? Just tap them lightly to compress the data.

I do. Replaced 36GB SAS drives, as you may recall.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere....

I hardly use my optical drives. I haven't experienced an optical drive failure, either personally or professionally, since the 52x days, when we were ruining drives by shattering disks in them.

Get a Hydrive. Better yet, just get an SSD.

I guess it working correctly is a much higher concern.... http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20100601/tc_pcworld/mosthomebroadbandusersdontknowtheirspeed

Anyone know the deaths per iPhone ratio?

I think it's time to reconsider something here. If I uninstalled the CS4 apps that I don't use, I could fit my OS and applications on a 30GB drive. The only reasons I use a 60GB drive is because it was on sale, and I don't relish the idea of less than four gigabytes of play.

Helpful, perhaps, but not a solution -- particularly for the other screen.

This actually looks like a useful thing for portable devices, which seems to be exactly what it's aimed at. Might be nice as a basic storage device in an HTPC.

Wow. They have their hands in a lot of popular stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn

And people call me weird for putting the task bar at the top of the screen.

Does seem to be a day late and a dollar short.

Not everyone can afford three monitors....

Funny story... There *are* tools for that, such as sanitaryerase.

Such as?

So, we're looking at a 40% to 50% premium. Does it improve performance that much?

Since there's not a 1:1 mapping of clusters to data cells, I would expect that a quick format would require forensic methods to reconstruct data. A single fill pass would require coaxing the electrons to tell you what they were doing before you looked....

I have used Acrobat to collaborate on PDFs before. The problem is that you're trying to use one tool to create and another to collaborate. You need to either go with Google or Microsoft, start to finish.

The problem I have is that my resume is never in Word. I distill it from InDesign to PDF for distribution. I remember one guy insisted that PDF wasn't good enough; it had to be Word. I offered to take a screen shot of the PDF and paste it into a Word document for him. He took the PDF.

How much more than a similar non-hybrid drive will this be?

You're not making any sense. If you want to share your resume, just distill it to PDF, rather than try to export it to Google Documents? If the layout were unimportant, it'd just be a text file.

Speaking of bananas, I suggest that folks check out "Banana" by Dan Koeppel. It rambles a little (actually, a lot), but nothing makes you feel so guilty about fresh fruit.

I think ddrueding's computer hardware habit is cost prohibitive, but it doesn't seem to stop him from doing what we'd all like to do....

Export, you mean? Doesn't that just involve printing?

No. Then again, if I can replace a 40W incandescent with 13W CFL, why would I waste the electricity? LEDs are a better choice since they tend to be brighter when cooler, whereas CFLs tend to be dimmer. Oh, and they use even less electricity.
