Look into doing a make world in FreeBSD. This is s omewhat involved process, but after a few hours of compiling and and building a new kernel, a bit of luck, and a reboot, and you'll be running the release of your choice. This is covered in great detail in the excellent FreeBSD handbook.
Might not be as big a problem as you think. The RPM of the drive isn't much of a problem. I'd wager what a 120GB drive at 5400 is faster than a 20GB drive at 10k
The Top Spin was introduced in 1990, and the base model has always run about $2 million. Of course, that can go up to has high as $5 million with lots of options (Water jets, themeing, sound, lighting, etc)

They'll never sell unit #1.
Why?
They want $1.5mil for one of these.
A ride that can do 24 riders per hour. In a typical situation that would work out to about 250 rides per day.
For $1.5 million.
For comparison, a Huss Top Spin (http://www.hussrides.com/52ClassicTopSpin.htm), which costs roughly the same, takes 40 passengers per ride, and also does flips and what not. Top Spins can, in ideal circumstances, push through upwards of 800 people per hour, withn a figure of 400-500 pph being much more realistic. That means for the same money, they can have a ride that will run through 250 people in 30 minutes, instead of 10 hours. If you were in the position of buying a ride, which would YOU buy with your money?
Let's look at it from the economic angle. Both simulators and Top Spins command an average per-ride of ~$5/passenger. This puts the Robocoaster at $120 per hour. The Top Spin at $2000-$4000. Still having trouble making up your mind?
Remember that rides need operators (Firgure 2 for the Robocoaster, 4 for the Top Spin). Figure employee costs of $10/hr per employee. The Robocoaster is down to $100/hr now. The Top Spin to $1960-$3960. Now figure insurance and power, and maintaince. Those would knock off another $40 or so from the Robocoaster, bringing it down to $50-$60/hour profit., and the Top Spin to roughly $1500-$3000.
Let's figure our hypotetical park is open 12 hours a day, 180 days a year.
That is to say, 2160 hours per year.
Robocoaster: $1.5million. $60/per hour.
Time to profit: 25,000 hours, or almost 12 years.
Top Spin: $2 million. $1500 per hour (We'll take the low end)
Actually, I think this would, for the most part. Basically every ad I've ever seen is clickable ( == link). They're only allowed to link to.kids.us. So presumably any ads could be for other kids.us sites.
I used them for several months and was very pleased. Nobody offers something of that quality in that price range. I only stopped because I was basically given an offer I couldn't refuse (half of a dedicated server in exchange for a tad of admin work on it)

You're an idiot. Ever hear of zip files?
Huh? I can type a good bit faster than I can speak.
Autorotation. The blades don't just stopped. It''s basically a glide.
1.9.x? Damn, where can I get that?

Edit in rc.conf:
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-z 4"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
In your XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
That's my setup in 4.7-RELEASE with an MS Optical. Should be generic though.
Really looking to 5.0-RELEASE, which is getting quite close now. FreeBSD really is a nice OS> I'd really encourage all linux users to give it a try!

That's 2.5MB/sec.
You'd need ~9GB per hour. So the largest harddrive available currently would give a whopping 20 hours of recording.
Bzzt, wrong answer Mcfly!
KDE can be run under cygwin.
Grab it at Mirrored on an OC3
That's factoring in ALL the costs of having an employee, payroll, uniforms, etc...
Yes, because people will happily pay $20 for a poor substitute of something you can get for free in the same place. Right.

Actually, the problem with the hydrogen airships WASN'T the hydrogen. It was the coating used on the skin that burned so well.
And those who wish to just get work done will continute to use FreeBSD.
RTFA. Linux drivers for AMD64 (Hammer, Opteron, what-have-you).
Linux x86 drivers have been available forever, and last month FreeBSD drivers came out (I know, I'm running them right now *g*)
Erm, no.
uprated is jargon meaning 'more powerful'
Two Words: Soft money.
Jesus.
$45 per 250MB!?!?!?!?!?
That's 18 cents per MB.
$184.31 per GB
With my (former) web hosting plan, I paid $2/GB
