Not required, just a useful tweak. Like re-formatting a windows box with the MS (not OEM) windows disk as soon as you get it home to clear out all the cruft the OEM installed. You don't have to, but it'll be a noticeable improvement in most cases.
No, I'm suggesting putting it in swappable memory. It will happily move back and forth between RAM and swap until the next reboot. And it will live in a filesystem that does not care about trying to survive power loss or syncing changes to disk on any particular schedule. It will be cleared out on the next reboot (but don't rely on it being unrecoverable), so it's not good if you use 3g or other small-quota or slow connection. For me it makes a significant improvement to browsing speed except on the first page load of a site after a reboot. Also a rediculous amount of web sites serve most assets without reesponding to the "if-modified-since" header properly anyways.

Also, put your firefox browser.cache.disk.parent_directory on tmpfs on single user systems.
I haven't RTFA yet, but I strongly suspect that there would be different instructions when accuracy matters (ie program flow control), from where it's not as important (ie signal processing).
Or they could put a dongle in the Lion USB drive and say if it's got the dongle it's licensed, we don't support OSX on non-apple hardware but we're not going to do anything intentionally stop it from running on non-apple hardware so long as it's got the dongle, then just don't make any dick moves as far as hardware drivers go.
Of course this is probably just wishful thinking on my part.
I looked at that one... you can't hook up more than one computer and you can't hook up anything that's not thunderbolt. If you're going to spend $1000 on a monitor, get the Dell which has more screen space (area and pixels), and allows hooking up 5 computers and switching between them.

It probably would be more beneficial overall if some company would get a piston engine NOT based on the VW bug or a 1970's snowmobile certified for aviation use. A reduction drive is not THAT hard to engineer reliably, especially if it's required to be overhauled every 10000 hours of use.
Consider the Yamaha Genesis series snowmobile engines.... 130HP from 1L, decent fuel consumption, takes unleaded, Dry-sump design, light weight, won't require careful monitoring of temperature/cowl flaps or mixture, just does it's job.
Also I think their DEM is not very precise... looking at 6m I can see the neck of Gabriola sands park of Gabriola Island still exposed but that neck is only about 3m above the high tide line now.
When the staffers (or politician themselves) recognize you as someone involved in the community, it's very easy to get a word to the politicians. Go to events and bend their ear about your issue when the time is right, but not in front of the camera, and know who's on which committee... If it's in their portfolio they'll be much more interested.
I talk to my MLA (like state congressman) and the MLA from the next riding over and my MP (like federal congressman) about issues several times a year. Under a previous provincial administration this has landed me a meeting with the Attourney General and Premier (like State Governor), as well as the leader of the official opposition.
This is perhaps not as true of electric drive cars with regenerative braking... Take out the regenerative braking (or worse, power during it) and stopping distances on hydraulic only could be substantially longer. Also, if the controller thinks it should be applying power there is no option to "put it in neutral" since there is probably no clutch or gearbox to disengage.
Our local hospital has a clock on the wall opposite the beds in both the prep room and the recovery room. I don't know if it's intentional but when I had emergency surgery I was not disoriented afterwards.
I do rdiff-backup of plain files and cp --sparse=always of iSCSI shares and VM images to internal SATA drives in an eSATA cradle. Those drives are stored in a fire and waterproof lockbox in our detached workshop. Given our high ground location (flooding is very unlikely, so is landslides, no underground mines and low sinkhole probability ), anything bad enough to destroy the computers in the house and render the contents of the lockbox unuseable probably is bad enough that I don't care about the data.
At work most of our customers have their heads in the sand... It's like pulling teeth trying to convince them to at least use a USB drive.
Oh yeah, one of those iSCSI shares is a time machine backup... which can be copied to physical disk if a baremetal recovery is required.

No, not ass, but nothing or any number of a's
Hell froze over; I'm siding with WildTangent.

Or need to be in a car sharing program, or rent a different vehicle for the 1-5% of the time you need one.

Vic Toews probably does support mandatory warrantless searches of all homes, etc. That way he can find terrorist materials like gardening books.

I need gigabit daily... My Aperture vaults are on an iSCSI share, and a great deal of my files are on Samba shares.
Shows all posts (by people facebook has decided you "interact with") you mean?
But all the other ones are just plain wrong...
Only the name is wrong with radio buttons...
I, and most other people who have to take paperwork away from a desk, use clipboards daily,
Books are still quite normal around here, especially if you've been to school,

Voicemail icon yes, it is dated,
Every office I've been in has had lots of beige folders,
Almost every desk phone has a handset that looks somewhat like that, even VoIP phones,
Physical magnifying glasses and binocuilars are still for looking for stuff,
Most people around here still get at least bills in envelopes,
If said 20-something has ever known anyone who took shop classes they should know what a wrench is (though what a wrench has to do with settings, I don't know),
Microphones like that are still used in recording studios and on bar stages,
Polaroids look like prints...,
Might not know why it's got feelers, but it still looks like a TV,
Last time I made a carbon copy, I was filling out a waybill... last Thursday (also a mimeograph machine does not do carbon copies, it makes mimeographs)
But for point of sale, front counter, and callcentre work it'll be just fine.

Just if you charge someone for designing a computer, not fixing.

Canada's privacy commissioner also had similar comments a while back.
Also, if you're doing your tax return (any country) at a income tax preparer chain (ie H&R Block) read the contract carefully...

Rotateable monitor... especially if you shoot a lot of portraits.
