To be fair, those Crucial sticks I bought were really cheap PC3200. Actually, among the cheapest newegg had at that time. think it was $78 per 512MB. Especially when people are paying 30% and up premiums for getting twin-packs of ram for running dual channel. (even more if u want twin-pack AND low latency stuff) I'm a cheap bastard so I refused to go with the twin packs.
Just in case anyone takes a single guy's testimony as the last word... here's my story.
On my first time buying Crucial ram, I got bad sticks.
They were 2 sticks of 512MB PC3200 "8T" ram. Used on a new Albatron KX18D mobo. (everything was bought from newegg)
The system failed prime95 and memtest86+ whenever it was running in dual channel mode. (even at under stock speeds)! (it was fine in single channel mode)
At that point, I wasnt sure whether to RMA the mobo or the ram or both or whatever... After lots of slot swapping and reseating... in the end I RMAed just the 2 sticks of crucial ram. The RMA was processed quite fast and I received the replacement sticks same model numbers, different batch codes). I plug them in and the system now works well in dual channel. even mildly OCed. What did I lose? many hours and RMA postage.
Actually, you can get more "freefall" time than that. I think in the case of the vomit comet, "freefall" starts even while the plane is still in a climb... cut thrust and steer it over the top of an inverted parabola.
Some thrust and steering is still needed because of air resistence, so essentially you want the plane to trace the trajectory (path and velocity) of something thrown up in a vacuum.

I like the flexibility of repositioning toolbars on the MS file explorer and IE. I like that I can put toolbars end to end, even end to end with the main menu bar.
Without this feature, a lot of screen space is wasted, esp, on high res screens.
I noticed that gnome, KDE, Mozilla all can't do it. Doesn't anyone else think this capability is useful?

By proportion, conventional explosives convert exactly the same amount of mass into energy as do nuclear explosives.
