True. True.

I think that you've confused threading with SMP-awareness. And, if you think about it, a reasonable operating system is still going to switch a single-threaded application between the two cores anyway, so there won't be a lot of gain going on.

Most HBAs that I've seen come with x4 or x8 connectors and require fan cables. You can get both SATA-style ends and SAS-style ends with data+power, but the SATA-style connectors will not work directly on a SAS drive. Personally, I'd suggest going with LSI. Vista should have the standard MPT...

With a properly designed heatsink, you can sometimes do away with the fan altogether.

So basically, this is just a way to turn your Core 2 Duo into a comparably priced Core 2 Solo? Why not just get that chip in the first place?

If the data was of extreme value, you should have sent it off for professional recovery.

Dog tastes like pork? So does that mean that people taste like dogs?

Actually, I see this broadcasting of hundreds of channels one of the reasons that the digital cable that Comcrap offers is so awful. They're chewing up tons of bandwidth with stations I'm not interested buying. While I see your point on being able to view television with "other technology,"...

Ridiculous. Honestly, I wouldn't have bothered trying digital again if they didn't offer an introductory deal with installation when I moved last year.

Is this the same Samsung that makes pokey, yet reliable, desktop drives?

The cable companies need that bandwidth to push stuff that makes real money, so, eventually, everyone with dreams of digital lucre will do this. Here at least, Comcast no longer offers any of the premium channels on analog cable. What gets me is that digital cable technology is only marginally...

Maybe you used a different PacBell than I have, but, until relatively recently, more than one computer on a single IP was strickly verboten, if rarely enforced. And it's okkay now only if you use their equipment.

Since when was game support necessary to stretch the image?

You probably got the four static IPs, as well. That's an extra now.

I know that it's not quite the same thing, but why not get four 20" displays instead?

Sounds like you have a normal broadband modem. As a standard part, most cable and DSL Internet providers that I have seen give you a single-port modem because they only support using one computer on the connection. You pay extra for more ports, and it's certainly not worth it.

You need to use PE builder to add third-party drivers. Unless you've replaced a driver that comes with Windows, PE builder won't add the files to your PE disk, and then you'll also have a reference to a driver whose files aren't there. Just follow the instructions and drop the drivers into...

I fail to see how having only one font for the UI is a positive aesthetic...

Bingo!

You mean, try reversing the polarity of the neutron flow....

As long as these people are reviewing, marking-up, or proof-reading the documents and not extensively editing them, it seems to me that Adobe Acrobat will do what you want. I only use Acrobat's commenting tools in a limited fashion, but I know that the reviewers don't even need the full version...

The latest G models run VxWare, which is a proprietary, third-party, embedded operating system. The theory is that the cost of licensing the OS is less than the cost of the extra memory on the Linux version. We're talking about $10 for 6MB of memory. My theory on pushing the GL is, not only...

That probably has something to do with hacking around in a closed-source operating system....

Aesthetics are clearly lost on you guys.

What would the governator do with one?

This is what I usually do. And I edit PDFs all the time, and it's certainly not difficult. Maybe knowing what you're trying to accomplish would be helpful.

Yes, although, you can't remove anything, or the build will barf. Except for slipstreaming hotfixes, there's not really anything that you'd get from nLite that the BartPE builder can't do.

Let's get something straight. I don't buy software; I license it. Those guys on the top floor won't sell it to me. So, if you pirate software, you're not stealing it, because it's not for sale.

Did they really do away with the "System" font? I imagine that it'll look shitty, but if you left just one font of your choice, would Vista not be forced to use it? My only furthur thought is that it might need to be a raster font, rather than a vector font, as the "System" font is.

And will there be an Atlas 15k III? I think not....

Do you really need anything more than the system font?

Who needs a place to live when you can be fat and eat piroshkis all day!

Seagate would only buy Western Digital to put them out of business. As noted, they already have a crappy, low-end brand. Hitachi and Samsung are conglomerates. The best that you can hope for is that they leave the business.

Hey. Maybe you don't need them, but I actually use al 21 Helvetica fonts.

I live comfortably, and, until January, my household income was only five figures. Fuel for my car is $0, because it doesn't exist. We *might* spend $50 on transit a month (minus vacations, etc.). And that's not mentioning what I'm *not* spending on maintenance and insurance. Groceries are...

If you're a guy, I'm afraid that I can't help you.

Well... generally, not in India. But look at the Ainu and Uygurs.

They might bother to give people a brick to send back. Can't screw people out of wasting more money....

They haven't figured out how to stuff the next platter in.

Time to become gay.

The way I read it, Maxtor will be the crappiest drives that Seagate can put together and still have someone buy them. The improvement here is that it's Seagate doing that.

At that price, you may as well consider putting together your own SFF system to do the job.

A cache might be good for extending the life of the drive.

With your questions answered, may be you could tell why on earth you want to use a RAID 0 array.

Don't you mean that SATA is cheap, half-assed SAS? Because that's what it is....

Using a SAS infrastructure, hasn't the limit on how much you could stuff in a single box really only been limited by how much you were willing to pay for that box?

This *did not* happen to my account.

We do not do it because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Why don't you inkle us "the causes of winning or losing the War Between the States" and tell how loose federation did not figure into it?

So... this is a virtual x86 machine running in the Java virtual machine. Is two layers of "virtual" really a good idea?
