For those engines, BMW simply used two copies of all the equipment used by their contempory 2.5L inline-6s. This means you have two seperate systems which need to be kept in perfect sync to run the engine... a tuning nightmare.
SSD is far less tolerant of write cycles (the flash deteriorates over times) meaning you cannot use it to contain a swap file without it deteriorating rapidly (and until Windows starts using RAM first, swap later [e.g. I have 8GB of RAM, yet Windows still insists on a 4GB swap file... then uses only 2GB of my RAM]).
With 4GB of RAM being the lowest you can typically get in a new computer, I'd argue swap files are obsolete for most users. There's just no need to put things on the slow disk when they all fit in fast RAM.
When I installed 4.8 on my Arch box, I immediately noticed some big improvements. Specifically, KWin performance no longer gradually degrades during a login session. Previously, I would kill and restart plasma-desktop every 24 hours or so to keep things smooth. This is with Intel GMA965 graphics.
There are also some nice new animations for some apps, like the sliding icons in Dolphin. Dolphin also seems to be much faster at thumbnail population.
This sort of rhetoric is necessary because Americans seem very reluctant to acknowledge the dynamic that is having an increasingly profound impact on their lives: the income disparity between a small group of individuals and everyone else. It's a combination of political correctness and a delusion that aristocracy is a "European" thing that can't happen here.
Your situation is hypothetical, but the transformation of this nation into a banana republic of haves and have nots is all too real.

256MB of RAM was quite usable on early versions of XP. SP2 bumped the performance requirements up quite a bit, and you'll probably want at least 768MB to run a up-to-date SP3 install.
I moved from Kubuntu 11.10 to Arch w/ KDE two weeks ago, and I was struck by just similar a vanilla KDE is to Kubuntu. Hearing they only employed 2 devs is entirely believable.
If you've used a *buntu for a few years and are interested in learning more about your system, Arch is great. The wiki and forums for Arch are excellent, and a vital resource for intermediate users who have found the Ubuntu forums to have a very poor signal-noise ratio for anything beyond basic questions.
Kubuntu has some strange choices, such as making Rekonq, instead of Konqueror, their default browser due to Webkit replacing KHTML, despite the fact that Rekonq is not yet v1 as yet.
Tell me about it. I decided to try that browser out since it was the default, and it is easily the most crash-prone program I have ever used on Linux.
Konqueror is actually quite usable nowadays. Their are still rendering errors compared to the "normal" browsers, but I found a lot less pages that "didn't work" than I did back at the time of 10.04.
They certainly managed to get Google results hits consistently, regardless of whether or not they actually had anything even remotely resembling my search query.
That search results spam never endeared me to those sites.
After all, most theories of how the Sun works suggest that we ought to be able to detect SOME solar neutrinos; what if the Sun is in the "collapse" phase just now, and the reason we can't detect the neutrinos is because there aren't any?
The issue of "missing" neutrinos was solved a decade ago, but at no point were detecting zero neutrinos, merely about 66% less than expected.
Many of the guys we memorialize they were important to our country, say George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, owned slaves.
Cultural relativism allows us to acknowledge the positive things they guys did, while understanding why they simultaneously engaged in something we see as 100% unacceptable.

Any suggestions for getting the PC version to run? It falls solidly into the category of Win95/98 games that are a pain to run on a current system.
Aeris wasn't the best party member ever... but she was a lot more useful than "my stats go down instead of up" Tellah.
Aeris dying was sad, but Tifa is better and hotter anyway. :)
7,8, and 9 were all 3D Playstation games... maybe you mean 4,5, and 6?
Having the pain threshold be somewhat lower than the point at which physical damage occurs seems optimal.
People born without the ability to feel pain struggle to stay alive to adulthood, which many would interpret as worse rather than better.
They have the same corporate parent... and are about as well differentiated as Buick and Oldsmobile were.. not at all.
The most noticeable aspect of these cars is how space inefficient they are. They car is huge, yet the front seat doesn't actually have that much room.
This is a direct result of the fact they are running on the same basic 1970's platform.
Also, the Crown Vic is no longer sold to consumers in the US, only fleet buyers.

Beautiful cars, but not easy to own.
-making SNES work on AMD 64 wouldn't hurt either.
Are you trying to use ZSNES? Don't bother. Use snes9x or bsnes instead.
That's because you're doing it wrong.
It's an Air Force base in Louisiana.

KDE4 is better than ever for me at the moment. :)
I'm only replying to your comment because you mentioned playboy.
BTW, this playboy's OS is Arch Linux + KDE. :)
Why is it always an "us" vs. "them" scenario?

I remember being dazzled the first time I booted up Perfect Dark into high-rez mode. :)

I'll try.

bonch is mad that his submissions were not accepted.
The fact that ACs are posting those same submissions in stories with a bonch first post are, of course, entirely coincidental.
Cultural relativism has many positive uses, but using it to give a pass to international labor exploitation isn't one of them.
There are some folks would like nothing more than to get us desperate enough to be exploited in a similar way right here at home.
Posting this many replies dilutes your point and makes you sound whiny.
