I don't think I've/ever/ seen the POST catch bad RAM. POST's RAM check is very simple, something on the order of filling the RAM with all ones and reading the cells back to verify they're still ones.
The way "journalism" in this country is, we're probably lucky the "geeks" weren't shown wearing turbans or accused in a roundabout, weasely way of terrorism.
With all the different sorts of memory that are in use, you're not always going to have the right kind of RAM for system x. Off the top of my head, there's DDR-3, DDR-2, DDR, SDRAM, Rambus, EDO, FPM, 30-pin SIMMs, SIPPs, ZIPs, DIPs, and no doubt proprietary types if you go with old Macs.
Then there's different speeds. You might not have 800 MHz DDR2 lying about, having only 533 MHz stuff, or maybe the old 72-pin SIMM you've got is 80 ns instead of the 70ns the system needs.
Then there's parity, non-parity, and ECC. Oh, and all the different types and speeds of secondary cache on Super 7-and-older systems.
Something tells me you've never fixed computers for a living.
I don't know what world/you're/ living in, but memtest tools will sometimes pass RAM that's bad, and you'll have to swap the RAM before the problem goes away.
Take pictures of everything and otherwise document the problems, date it all, and stick it somewhere safe. Show the landlord a copy (not the original) if he give you flak when you move out. You should also give a copy to your insurance company when you move in.
Yup. My grandfather had Alzheimer's for a few years before he finally died.
If I find out I'm getting that and there's not a cure yet, I'll get my affairs in order and suicide as soon as possible.
It pisses me off that the Law says you can't perform assisted suicide even for these poor bastards who have no quality of life any longer, even if they are known to not want to live in that situation. My mother has made her wishes known and I'd have to risk jail if she needs help.
I'm laying in a small stockpile of weapons and ammo for when the balloon goes up, and I mean to fight when that happens. I only hope I'll have enough people with me to make a difference.
I also vote and too infrequently give my "representatives" a piece of my mind.
We could try economic sanctions, since those worked so well with Iraq and Cuba.
Maybe a more targeted approach, like we did with North Korea not long ago, preventing luxuries from getting in so the leaders can't buy their underlings' support. The proles will still get their foodstuffs and medicine.
By the way, what do you think the result will be in a year when we start seeing Samba 4 AD? I wouldn't be surprised to see a patent lawsuit. It'd be disappointing, but not surprising.
Do you mean lower rates? I used to work at a "loan servicer" (and collections agency) and NetBank was one of our clients, at least for their car loans.
Their target market, at the time (2005), was for people with good credit, say FICO 760 and better (don't remember the exact numbers). I seem to recall their interest rates were fairly low, at least compared to the other companies we serviced loans for.

They're configurable with Group Policy, or at least that's what the website says.
Of course, you'll need to get your SMS admin to agree to this.

I first read your nick as TheAssImpaler. Seriously. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a bit sydlexic.

If only it were a *dry* heat!

tl;dr
You're in denial.
Changed that back to Burma, thanks. ;)

"Free speech zones" for one thing. Gods-damned fundamentalists getting books banned because they don't fit in with their world view, for another.

Sounds like you should throw up your hands and use UTC instead of local time on your server.
You got a purty mouth.
And we could hold the entire Aus population in our prisons, so you wouldn't be homesick.

It *is* kind of amusing to watch mods duel over my posts, yes. :-)
If Windows thrives on "Developers Developers Developers" then Apple needs "Rumors Rumors Rumors".
Fucking mods. That wasn't a troll. That was pointing out that
1) The joke isn't funny any more.
2) Since it keeps getting modded up, the mods are retarded.
Hur hur hur. That joke isn't funny any more. Posting that is about as clever as $FUCKWIT who posts that Ben Franklin quote on every YRO story.
