John Id software is the only major company to release source code for it's games. Most comapaines keep their interectual right's under lock and key. Do you feel there is a limited life of a game or did you decide that you didn't want to rewrite it later and let the general public have it? How do you decide to release a game's source knowing that there are still copys on the shelf that you could be leaving there forever?
There was talk of 'how to make a computer that can withstand are cars environment (hot/cold extremes, humidity and extreme vibration).
One place SSD's are VERY useful is in embedded systems - no mechanical motion will affect them, they work on low power - great for logging data that's being collected (drop a PIC with an SSD into a shipping container to monitor heat/humid/vibration and make the shipper honor agreements (not an uncommon use). Don't use them for Swap - RAM is a gazillionth the price and just as useful.
