Pretty red section, I've never seen the BSD section before. Slashdot needs more sections with nice colors.

Your company may have access to some sweet technology, but I doubt a time machine is one of them. Perhaps you're really running 7.0RC2, not 7.2RC2.

If you *do* have a time machine, do CPU topology detection and EFI+GPT work in 7.2? Does 8.0 have a new installer yet? Inquiring minds want to know.

LBA adressing -- brought to you by the RAD Redundant Acronym Department. Are they a subsidiary of the Department of Redundancy Department?

Reminds me of a .SIG here - They repeated themselves over and over again incessantly without end - or however it goes.
