This device seems backwards with today's trends. With virtualizaion gaining ground fast, the ideal setup is to have as much RAM as possible with a SAN back end for storage - iSCSI, FC, whatever. Most local disks on servers today are RAID1 mirrors for the small hypervisor.
So, yes, this device wastes a valuable DIMM slot to give you a less-valuable SATA drive?
I can't think of any scenario where this would be useful unless you're talking about handheld devices - a MacBook Air or tablet of some sort.
Yeah, it's pretty much a fad, just like YouTube, Slashdot, Firefox, Ubuntu, Flickr, Blogger, Wordpress, Twitter and pretty much any other website that has 500 million active users.
Of course, their people are mostly 40 - 50+ Americans, who are no doubt more expensive than 20-something Indians. But they also know what they're doing.
Knowing what you're doing is SO 20th century. Next you'll be telling us the 50-year-olds don't spend 70% of their day on AIM and Facebook...
Sweet, I get 100 FPS, which looks like the max. CPU never goes over 8%. Server 2008 R2, FF4 b6pre (Minefield), 1920X1200, i5-750 @ 4.0Ghz (170x24), Nvidia 8800GT.
At least you'll have 2.2 eventually. For those of us with a Hero or Eris, this is the only way we get FroYo. A semi-working build was available within hours of the FroYo source code release, and now stable versions abound. But the Eris is already end-of-life. One day your incredible will be, too.
I'm running CM6 RC3 on the Eris, and the phone has never felt snappier. It has revived (by today's standards) a dated platform. The fine folks at XDA developers have put together a ROM with WiFi tether, over/underclocking for improved battery life with increased speed, etc. Great stuff.
I forgot to mention that this was on several well-known and large servers, but I can't recall the names off-hand. It did stop after Valve released a patch to the game.
I, as well, have been playing TF2 almost weekly since its release. I have seen cheaters a few times. It's pretty obvious, esp. when a sniper has 300 headshots in a row and is on top of the board.
Hell, one of the cheaters was even spamming the URL to a website where you can BUY the cheat, so he was demo'ing his warez, if you will.
The best part was when everyone dropped to spectator and spec'ed him while he was playing. It was fascinating to watch the aimbot at work. After 30 seconds of watching his screen from the scope perspective, anyone's doubts were quickly erased.
Power is not energy. You are missing a crucial variable in your comparison of power (watts): frequency. 40000 watts at FM frequencies are nowhere near the energy of 4 watts at x-ray frequencies.
Cell phones transmit around 900MHz while wifi is 2.4GHz (or 5GHz for 802.11a). Factor that into your calculations, as well as the additional free space losses at higher frequencies and get back to us. You didn't think it was really 30,000x more, did you?
I'd like to see that map of light output and a map of population density and watch people sputter for awhile as they realize that North Dakota is mostly empty space.
In other words, show me a highly populated Republican area that is darker than an equally-populated Democratic area.

I'm still blown away that a company such a simple idea, run on such a simple site, requires a CEO.
He's like the CEO of txt messages.

Just for perspective, back in the day, TV advertisements for medium/large companies used to have AOL keywords before they listed their web address.
Now they're saying "find us on Facebook!"
A lot can change in a few years, IT moves fast.

You know how I know you're old?
Hi, welcome to technology. I see you're new here. Feel free to go over our pamphlets while you wait for one of our representatives.
"iSCSI and You"
"PCMCIA? In my laptop?"
"So you're going to be a FCPGA ZIF CPU"
WiFi, my friend! We just put repeaters every 5 miles... :)
Why oh why did they move the refresh button to the right side of the address bar? That's so many pixels away...
Yeah I'm running Minefield 64bit 4.0 b6pre. It's super fast...

Nigro, please.
If Google told her to jump off of a bridge, would she have done it?
um... /. stripped my decimal points...yeah, that's it...
pft, clearly you've been taught wrong. 2/3 is really .666666. Duh.
137 votes does not give you 2/3rds. It is less than 2/3rds. If the law requires 2/3rds, in what situation would 137/206 be sufficient?
Put it this way - put the equation into C++ and compile and see how it comes out.
if( 137/206 >= 2/3 )
votepass;
You need 138 for that equation to be true.

Hate to break it to you, but power lines emit RF too. That's why this is a joke: all alternating currents emit RF.
Power is not energy. You are missing a crucial variable in your comparison of power (watts): frequency. 40000 watts at FM frequencies are nowhere near the energy of 4 watts at x-ray frequencies.

He meant WinRar...
Zing!
