The 7600GS and 7600GT don't even need a fan, just a decent heatsink. Same applies to the 8500 and 8600 lines. It's amazing how much quieter a PC is with heatsinks and big slow fans for the CPU and power supply =) I run mine in the living room and unless it's being interacted with noone even notices I have one due to the lack of noise.
NTFS is resizable while mounted, extending a volume is supported on Windows 2000 and up and shrinking is supported on Windows 2008 (caveats are no boot or system volume, but you can get around that by doing an offline expansion from another install/PE)
It's a problem central to basically ANY database though. Integrity checks are absolutely essential, and even with them exporting and re-importing the data once in a while is a very good idea. This applies to everything from Foxpro to all of the big DB's (Oracle, SQL, DB2, etc). Sure there are sites that run for years without doing that maintenance, but I have seen it come to bite them on numerous occasions. For Exchange you can fairly easily automate the mailbox migrations from one datastore to another. Moving the DB files just moves the corruption with them, it's not going to fix the integrity problems. I guess if you are using mdir on a Unix platform you don't have the DB problems, but you quickly run into filestore problems with descriptor exhaustion and the occasional corrupt inode, etc. You also can run into problems with clients when you have too many items in a directory to be quickly processed (I had a client on Groupwise that had an attachment directory with so many items in it that even DIR wasn't able to process them!)
And even if it DID work it would just find new and interesting ways to automatically and quickly break your network. Even the best AV vendors occasionally release a bum dat update even after really thorough testing. Trend is IMHO the best in that regard and even they bit me in the arse once in the last decade =)
More like private risk was transferred to the American tax payers (yet again) which is good for the market because it's like free money from Santa as far as the marketeers are concerned. I'm a Democrat, but even I have to wonder wtf we keep bailing out bad investment decisions every decade or so, it just distorts the market and leads to increased inefficiency.
Did you run regular maintenance? My number one rule for running Exchange is that no data store holds data for more than 6 months, a year tops. You need to move users around and wipe a data store at a time or do what's almost impossible and run offline data store checks. You need to do the same thing on Notes but due to the way Notes clustering and replication works it's a bit easier to do the offline integrity check.
That's awesome, the next time some pinhead consultant blames my AMD boxes for speed problems caused by their shitty configuration settings I can point to that article and tell em our DB's run on the same servers as the NYSE =)
They did, they weren't fast enough to keep up with volume growth. At some point your needs outgrow even the biggest box and you have to go to clustering, and that's better understood in the open systems world than most of the legacy systems (well except S/390, there are some huge sysplexes).
Silently failing? What kind of crap cards are you buying? All of mine run regular volatage checks and alert as soon as the pack is out of spec. Heck on decent server's it's been that way for over a decade.
WTF, 4,200 orders a second, is that some kind of joke? NYSE did 28,000 per second during the credit crunch last fall and they were designing for 64,000 by year end (can't find any info on whether they got there but I don't doubt it).
Bah, my YTD uptime for most of my systems is 99.995 without clustering running Windows 2003. We are a java shop not a.net shop though but java isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
A VERY large national bank/mortgage originator did just that. They had their certified software on OS/2 and porting and recertifying in all 50 states was going to cost a HUGE amount of money, so they had their windows workstations upgraded with double the ram and dropped in new HDD's that had a new standard windows image with virtual PC running OS/2 and their app. This cut their workstation count for that division in half and they had a crudload of 2 port KVM's that they sold to some reseller. It was a fun project to work on, got to see a lot of the country on the clients dime =)
IBM can't do anything with it since they sold the rights to another party years ago (hence why it's called ecommstation not OS/2 today.

Chrome Vs. IE 8

To me it's the VI/EMACS debate all over. Both are good browsers with Chrome being the fast no thrills option and Firefox being the complete somewhat slower platform with more options then any mere mortal can possibly use.
Actually to warm the catalytic converter the Prius will almost always run the engine at startup, this is to make sure that when it IS needed the engine isn't making too much NOX emissions. There is a way to override this behavior and have essentially a plugin hybrid but AFAIK it voids your warranty.
Exactly, there was a Prius used as a cab and Toyota bought it back after 1 MILLION miles to tear apart the battery pack to get some real world data on extended wear because they had never replaced one due to wear.
Between the frame-rails, basically the same place they put em in a car but with a real frame to attach to instead of a unibody. With a full hybrid system there's no transmission so the entire area between the frame-rails is available.
Unless they seriously change things it won't be used in any sane corporate environment, it requires JRE6 U10 which isn't even freaking officially release yet! It's beyond bleeding edge, it's just crazy.

London's the third busiest exchange in the world by volume according to Reuters (I assume after NYSE and NASDAQ).
Home system, hardly. I run the datacenter for an S&P 500 company.

Um, the windows source code is open for large customers and has been for years, so the top talent isn't really handicapped in that regard.

No, the FDIV bug was present in most 60-100 Mhz Pentium 1 chips link

Actually, IBM and Serenity are still developing eComStation with version 2.0 set to ship sometime soonish.
eComStation is developed by IBM, Serenity, various third party companies and individuals. link
My previous understanding was that IBM had transferred full rights to Serenity rather than what appears to be just licensing it.
Java and a browser I can see, offer access to online banking features without having to greatly modify the ATM base code.
