    I wonder if this development has to do with this:

    http://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/technology/news/article.php/3809601

    Which would mean, like processors & RAM, that it's designed to be replaced or upgraded as the need arises.

  4. Re:You've got be beat. on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: 1

    The one I had already could hold up my desktop with a 21" CRT for 27 minutes.

    My UPS only lasts 3 minutes, and that's with a 21W flat panel!

    In other news, Coca-Cola has a monopoly on Coke. It has been found fixing prices of its product to closely match competitors.

  9. Re:But I still don't understand... on Microsoft and Red Hat Team Up On Virtualization · · Score: 1

    You can load your computer full of RAM and load Windows after PXE booting from NFS/iSCSI. Its the only way I've heard of running Windows without a HDD.

  11. Re:3 applications?! on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Don't forget explorer.exe! And when it crashes while running 3 programs, you won't be able to load the System Monitor to close the unresponsive program.

  12. Re:Original Sources on MS Confirms Six Different Versions of Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Its not called mandrake any more, it's MANDRIVA! And there's Mandriva One, Mandriva Powerpack, and Mandriva Flash. Also, don't forget RHEL for mainframes, RHEL Advanced Platform, RHEL Server, and RHEL Desktop.

    Can't get much more customer oriented than that!

  14. Its an inventory list, not an article. on The Best Computer Mice In Every Category · · Score: 1

    I am doubting that the reviewer actually uses what they are saying is the best.

    <3 the Nub

    Then the best (price+reliability+comfort)=Dell workstation mice. But you can't buy them at best buy, so they didn't make the list.

  15. Re:recommended AMD card? on AMD Releases Open-Source R600/700 3D Code · · Score: 1

    I'm finding it hard to see how the drivers are garbage. Both OpenSuSE & Ubuntu have the work done for you.

    Hardware-wise, AMD uses crossfire to hit the high-end, and aims for mainstream. See Anandtech's article on the RV770 for more info.

    I wouldn't spend the money for something made by Intel or nVidia unless I knew it was a good value. The trophy for making the fastest creates quite the money pit.
