60fps quoted is an average number, that's not good enough for a FPS firefight. A rig that gets 60fps average is going to drop to less than 15 in a big melee with several onscreen players and all the bullets/explosions. Most gamers run setups that can get at least 130fps on average and then cap the refresh at 60 or so. The truly l33t can cap at 125.
Screen refresh rates arent that big of a deal, it's how fast the game's engine can update the frame buffer and take player input and compute shot trajectories. If someones running past you ingame and you're turning your point of view, the distance between frames of thier player model is pretty large, even at 60 fps. Work it out, a player model 50 pixels across on a 1024 wide screen that crosses the screen in 1/4 of a second is only going to get 15 places to be shot at, even at 60 fps. There's gaps between the frames on their motion that swallow up bullets even when spamming.

Sounds like the polling should be dynamic for systems like laptops. If you're not doing much and the poll is returning no activity, then reduce the rate. If things are busy, then increase the rate. That should help with an idling machine's battery life. You could use an averave over the last n seconds to change the sample rate.
That assumes anything is actually MADE in the US anymore... Very few consumer products are anymore. Now if you're talking about Britney Spears CD's, well maybe the content is from here, but the physical product is still made overseas.
The US is becoming a service economy, and even the services are being supplied by import labor.
You should look up the history of the 78000 > 88100 family... look for names like Richard Ross and Tom Gunter. It's the reason why Moto never succeeded in the high end microprocessor market.
Then look up the MicroTac marketing fiasco, and how the analog cellular group held down the digital group to preserve their status. That's what let Nokia and Ericsson into the market.
Did you ever look into CD-RWs? They are a phase-change medium, either the substrate is crystalline or it is amorphous. Thats not something that's likely to change with time or degrade like an organic dye.
What really fun is that employee can take a few 'warez' CD's and install a dozen apps on every computer after hours and then make the BSA call and you as the business owner are screwed.
Meanwhile, the CEO and VP's are getting double.. Making $2mil, now it's $4M, had a 3000SQft home, now have a 3000SQFt vacation home too. Had a Lexus, now have a Mercedes
Yeah, what a great idea for hi-tech burglars.. Drive down a street with an RFID exiter and case every house of the street all the way down to brand name and model of every tagged item in the home.
Of course the taxman will love this also, just wait till you get your itemized property tax bill and any attempt to damage or remove the RFIDs is punishable as tax-evasion.

They can have my dead monitors and printers,
there's no way to fix or reuse these.
Although I do rip out the motors from the printers for robot projects.
They also get all my old AT boat-anchor systems.
If it doesnt have PCI,it's not worth fooling with.
I think the implication of "Devil's Own" :)
is that it's a Microsoft Internal CDKEY.
afterall, we all know Microsoft==tehD3v1L
Interesting, I wonder if they could add other codecs
like OGG or AAC?
