Someone else posted a link to the bug report on this. It looks like the feature was disabled at the end of January. Why are you still so angry about it? It appears they have taken all the previous complaints into account for this new release.
The Golden Gate Bridge (Bridge) is one of three operating divisions of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (District). The operating divisions include: Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Transit and Golden Gate Ferry. The Bridge Division employs about 200 employees that operate and maintain the Bridge under the direction of the Deputy General Manager, Bridge Division. The Bridge Division captures the true meaning of the words "team effort", with all of the skilled crafts and trades working together to accomplish the job at hand.
A revered and rugged group of ironworkers and painters battle wind, sea air and fog, often suspended high above the Golden Gate Strait, to repair corroding steel. Ironworkers replace corroding steel and rivets, make small fabrications for use on the Bridge, and assist painters with their rigging. Ironworkers also remove plates and bars to provide access for painters to the interiors of the columns and chords that make up the Bridge. Painters prepare all Bridge surfaces and repaint corroded areas.
Wasn't that back when we thought Gingerbread was going to be 3.0? There was no talk about 2.3 at the time. These new specs aren't too far off from the previous reports for 3.0.
Seems pretty clear to me. Is the 6970 twice as fast as a single 4850? If it is, then the 6970 is faster than your 4850 x2. This is ignoring any overhead from making two cards work as one. You should also consider the feature set. Any 6xxx card will support features that didn't exist when the 4xxx cards were designed.
Moonlight has kept up with Silverlight in supporting Silverlight on Linux. I'm pretty sure Linux is banned from NetFlix for entirely different reasons.
My last NVIDIA card was a 6800 (not exactly new). Up through this card, NVIDIA's Linux support has been rock solid. I'm always confused when people complain about the lack of open source drivers when the proprietary drivers are so good.
Also the install isn't hard: Download the installer and run it. On gentoo (great mythtv support): emerge nvidia-drivers.
What is the benefit of rendering a frame that cannot be be displayed?
I do not see benefits, but there are clear costs. The extra energy used to render the unused frames is a cost, and the energy used by the A/C to remove the heat from the building is a cost.
- no way of storing favorites (with three taps I can find my way home or get a list of favorites on my tomtom)
You can "Star" locations on the map. The new Navigation application icon takes you to a list of your most recent destinations (or closest, not sure) and has buttons for the Contacts list and the Stared Items list.
This was improved upon. In SC4 if a building became too big for the current demand, it would be replaced with a half broken version of itself. If there was a large surge in demand in that area, it might upgrade itself, but you usually had to bulldoze it yourself.
I would assume that the ability to host a game locally and browse for local servers would take a great deal of effort. That doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would simply be patched in. Maybe enough people will complain and they'll add it to the two expansions.
Maybe not if one rep is rude, but yes I would definitely leave a service provider if I am met with a rude response from most reps. Don't like Comcast? Switch to Satellite and DSL.

Because WarMouse is a supporter of Open Source Software, the Meta Modeware software has been released under the Lesser Gnu Public License version 3. For more detailed information about the WarMouse Meta, visit http://www.warmouse.com./ The WarMouse Meta is now available for $79.99 / EUR69.99 / GBP59.99 for Windows-based operating systems. Full Linux and OSX support is expected in Q3 2010.
FB Purity does a pretty good job of keeping these hidden. That way you don't have to keep seeing / hiding them when your friends switch to yet another farm game.
Why measure performance in FLOPS? I would expect floating point operations to be a pretty small percentage of processor load for this product's target market.

Maybe, but it is the only place I can think of as a centralized location to store system and application settings in Linux.
/etc
That is what Ask.com was designed and optimized for. That was supposed to be their competitive advantage.
According to some I saw documentary a while back as soon as the painters finish they have to start over again due to where and tear.

Press and hold the home key to see the last 8 apps accessed. There is probably an app that add radio switches to the status bar.
Why is every one so angry about the inability to invest in Facebook? Seems like a good thing to me.
Intel still makes their graphics solution because they can do it cheap. It's really all you need for most low end consumer or business systems.

What would be the point of having options available to tweak if they are unusable?
I think being unique would be fine as long as you are differently unique every time.

Seems to me that websites had embedded video long before FLV and HTML5. What was so bad about the pluggins and competition in codecs?
Turbines will run on just about anything that burns.

60 is too low because most CRTs are happy and look better* at 75 or 85 Hz. I have a 19" that will do 100 Hz at 1280x1024.
* By better I mean less noticeable flicker.
