No one is forcing you to buy a CPU with integrated graphics. Look at the high end solutions. This includes AMD's FX series and Intel's socket LGA 2011 platform. Both Intel and AMD know that people buying high-end CPUs will buy a discrete graphics card anyway, so there is no point wasting valuable die space on it.
In recent years, Ranger's competitors, from the Nissan Frontier to the Toyota Tacoma have been redesigned and enlarged towards the mid-size market, leaving the Ranger the only truck in the US compact market segment.
Not necessarily. FranTech's BuyVM will rent you a KVM VM with 500GB of space and 5TB of bandwidth for only $15/month. If you need more, you can step up to their 1TB of space with 10TB of bandwidth plan that costs just $30/month. These plans are listed under Las Vegas - KVM Storage in the order form. It looks like they are out of stock right now (you can quickly check their stock here,) but I think they restock all of their plans on Mondays. BuyVM has a pretty good reputation and I have been enjoying their service for quite a while.
...it's near or total loss of power for a second or two.
A brown out occurs when the voltage drops. This typically occurs when power demand exceeds supply in a region. With a fixed amount of power being supplied, if the current drawn becomes too high, the voltage will drop. This will also happen if the power being supplied decreases and the load does not.
With a blackout, lights go out and dark places go black. With a brownout, incandescent lights dim and dark places become brownish-yellow. It used to be that most electric devices could handle a reduced voltage, but modern electronics tends to be less forgiving. AC motors and florescent lighting are two loads that have limited voltage droop tolerance.
I tested a couple of the more human-readable variants with the OCR built into Adobe Acrobat, and Acrobat did really well. The normal Sans and Bold variants were recognized with nearly 100% accuracy, so I am unsure why they are even included. There were only a few letters in the noise variant that it consistently got wrong, but it got them wrong in a consistent manor (e.g. i turned into !), so some simple find and replace could get you a reasonably readable document. After that I got bored and I didn't try any of the other variants.
The only use I can think of for this might be using it in conjunction with a cipher. A cipher could break the word recondition in OCR software and would also make humans less sure that they were reading the correct letters. Either way, the utility of this font is very limited.
I am sure that the NSA has better OCR than what is built into Adobe Acrobat.
If you look in the Ask Slashdot section, you will see that *some* of the new Ask Slashdot articles are there. It is clearly being used, just not all of the time. I agree that this is a problem.
Everyone seems to say that, but I have never found it to be true. For example, the multi-monitor support for my Intel HD 4000 is terrible. It rarely works right. First, it usually doesn't work. It just outputs to one display when I ask it to output to two. Then when I can get it to work, one of the screen is usually statically or flickers. In addition, the GPU is supposed to support three displays under Windows. I have never gotten that to work and as I said, two often don't work. I have never had a problem with the Linux Nvidia driver's multi-monitor support and the Windows Intel graphics driver seems to work well enough.
Many new laptops support a mSATA drive. Even my current-gen 12.5" Thinkpad supports one in addition to a normal 2.5" drive. While these are not usually extremely high performance or capacity, you can get a ~250GB model that operates at around SATA 3gbps speeds without looking too hard. In any case, a mSATA SSD plus a normal hard drive will likely be better for most users.

Cheaper AMD cards are around three orders of magnitude faster. People are reporting around 700Mhash/s for the HD 7970.

I would be concerned that if the ambient pressure dropped below some threshold there would be a chance that the thing would explode.
It also does not require .NET. That is worth the difference in size on its own.
cloud providers charge dearly for this.

I think the Linux kernel development team have slightly higher standards than Microsoft.

Wild turkeys can fly.
This works on Macs too. The Mac power user I know always sets up printers on Macs with the web interface.
Only cable companies would think that they can serve ads on a premium pay-for video streaming service.
That is exactly a year old. You are as bad as the editors.

I use stock Linux Mint 14 x64 with MATE. Both outputs are Displayport.

According to Wikipedia, the Intel i740 was AGP.
