Were these the saccharin guys or the cyclamate people?

The cable shouldn't matter... unless it's bad. But, in that case, there should be other errors.

PDF? That's it's raison d'être. Well, if you don't want Merc to violate your exit port with gas-powered lumber cutting tools.

I don't have a drive, but it appears to support both HD-DVD and Bluray.

I agree, but if they've managed to lick the issues with colour and narrow beams, then they're a heck of a lot closer. Maybe I could stick one in the fridge. It's really hard on my CFLs.

Doesn't that decompose into hydrogen fluoride, AKA hydrofluoric acid, the stuff they use to etch glass?

I am looking at this and just wondering why on earth you might think that you might need a RAID 5 setup. I'm with the RAID 1 crowd. One drive is fast enough, and two is redundant. Handy's idea of hotswap is good. Get the two drives on sleds, and alternate taking one out at the end of the day.

I'm still on 7. Was there something worthwhile in 8 or 9?

Still, 2007 was three years ago. That's old data by technology standards.

I ain't putting a SAS controller back into my machine just for this drive.

I haven't read the original paper, but something strikes true about the "families form adults" - "adults form families" divide.

Halon is heavier than air. How was this supposed to work?

That seems like a dumb place to put the cylinders. I've always seen them recessed in the ceiling and/or walls.

This feels awfully not up-to-date....

It's fun to need to evacuate your workspace during fire alarms in order to keep from being killed by the suppression system....

That's amazing timing. Here's the synopsis from one of the blogs: http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/04/the_costco_prank/

Apple's gotten stupid on this no Flash thing. According to some iPhone developers, the rules changes that they recently enacted also ban some third-party tools used in applications which they've already approved. If they don't want Flash, just disallow stuff made with Flash. How hard is...

Death to the iPaq!

I don't know about elegant, but, as I understand it, the ATi design is more modular. This means that they can make a low-end part far more easily, but that a very high-end part would have a lot of modules, and, therefore, take up a lot of real estate. As far as I can tell, nVidia took the...

AMD Also uses GlobalFoundries, but I don't get the feeling that they rely upon them heavily for GPU manufacture. nVidia won't use them on general principles.

... is a little too low-cost.... http://www.cockeyed.com/pranks/costco/costco1.php

They only make Palm products....

"Real beasts" have halon fire suppression systems.

A little life? OS/2 has been running ATM machines and cash registers for years. Certainly, I'd trust it more than some of the Win2k systems that I've seen out there (guess how I know that they run Windows). These systems working with money don't tend to change quickly. So, somebody figured...

I thought that ATi was falling behind again this cycle. Where did nVidia go wrong?

Merc, when did you become a fount of misinformation? Even you should know that, if PDFs had a built-in JavaScript interpreter, then they would self-executing. They're not. PDFs just hold the scripts. Like all of the other information in the file, it's just text. You can check the PDF...

Does it sit on your desktop, or could your desktop sit on it?

I've been using it for a few days, since it's drop-in on regular Fx. The only difference that I've noticed is that it seems to be using more memory. Maybe I need a slower computer or some more crapily coded web sites to look at....

That's a patently ridiculous statement. JPEGs can carry malicious code, but people aren't all up in arms about Paint being installed on every Windows machine because it doesn't allow the code to execute. You might as well blame Seagate because Windows has security issues.

This is possible, in general. I've seen people working on algorithms to, more or less, fill in an area on a photograph based upon what's there and comparisons with similar pictures. It's currently well beyond the scope of Photoshop. Possibly beyond your desktop computer to do in a meaningful...

No, but we do have some fine parting gifts....

Has anyone tried Pale Moon before? http://www.palemoon.org/

I think that's because, at a point, your SATA infrastructure is SAS infrastructure. On the othe rhand, there's no such thing as a reliable Western Digital drive. For data storage, at least.

Agreed. Other than a bit of flash, I'm not even sure what the EVGA board would get for you.

Get Prime. They'll overnight replacements to you.

I've upgraded my current computer three times -- and I'd have done it again, if these S940 chips hadn't become so bleeping expensive after AMD switched sockets. I think it's nice to have a stable platform to make upgrades on. Who wants to start of scratch every time you want to get the latest...

I think it falls under "convincing people to use it properly." At any rate, if you came to such a site, it would bother you.

As long as you don't use TCO, yes.

It turns out Adobe has yet to endow Photoshop with artificial intelligence.

I've only used 31GB on my 60GB drive.

I knew there was a reason I kept picking AMD chips....

Perhaps you've never visited a page which automatically plays sound *and* has no mute option. I don't patronize those businesses (and they're always businesses).

Correction: Palm is *officially* for sale. Let's not pretend that, if a good unsolicited offer had come along, Palm wouldn't have taken it.

It's Here http://www.salon.com/food/francis_lam/2010/04/12/kfc_double_down_taste_test http://www.npr.org/blogs/waitwait/2010/04/kfc_double_down_live_blog.html

Agree on the first part, disagree on the second. If they'd just fix all of the comcastic things that Flash does *and* convince people to use it properly, it'd be great. I've been using the 10.1 RC, and it's a lot better. It hasn't crashed my browser yet.

Seriously, this seems like a product without a market. Need space? Buy a 1TB cheapie -- maybe even just 5400RPM, to save more. Need speed? Buy an SSD.

Nonetheless, their headquarters are still in Santa Clara. Unlike the Microsoft ski lodge in British Columbia, I've been there.
