We are having major server problems at the moment. Something is up - we will fix this;)
Something is up? Thats a nice way of saying their server is dying under the load of thousands of geeks.

DSL Rising

I've Been Running Verizon (well, started when they were bellatlantic.net) DSL 768/128 for 2 and a half years. I got in at 39.99$US per month, and while new customers rates have risen, mine has stayed the same. Plopped a router down on day one, it keeps me autoconnected even though its PPPoE, and I have had maybe two outages, and never for more than a day.
Lets see you take the heat spreaders off of the memory in a system that uses RAMBUS. Wanna see what happens then? Oh, it might not fail immediatly, but there is a reason manurfacturers ship RAMBUS ram with heat spreaders onboard.
Well it increases coverage to a 225,798,656 square foot range from a 200,960,000 square foot range. Thats over 25 million square feet of additional coverage.
On the other hand, 25 million square feet is only an additonal square mile of coverage.
Unless they had time travel. And encoded the instructions to build the time travel device in the radio wave. Then we could build it, go back in time, and respond before they even sent the first message. Of course then they would have never sent the instructions in the firrst place....

Most onboard RAId solutions and add-in cards under ~140$ are like this. You have to replace failed ones with cards using the same chipset in order to recover the data or use the array again. Onboard Promise and Highpoint RAID controllers have add-in counterpart cards that use the same chipset, and thus can be used to recover data if the on-board chip decides to die.

Thats bullshit. Post some links to benches that back that up.
Two 80GB WD special edition drives in RAID 0 (7200RPM, 8mb cache) rarely burst over 90MB/s. They usually have a sustained transfer of ~50-65MB/s.
Additionally, your seek time is going to suck. I gaurantee its not going to be under 11ms. You cpu utilization during transfer will prolly be around 4% in the asolute best case senario and 11% on average. This is becuase, no matter what you think, all raid cards under ~140$ do the calculations for the transfers in software, not hardware. All you have is a controller card with special drivers. You wont come even close to beating the overall performance of a scsi 160 drive, or SCSI 160 RAID 0 setup.
This isnt a normal "pass". Its "movie cash". Which, according to the contract they have signed with about 90 theater chains, is as good as cash when it comes to buying a ticket. The "ticket" that is in the box, is actually a movie cash voucher good for up to 10.50 towards a ticket to TTT during that specified time. So hence, it is not a pass in the traditional sense, and , assuming your theater is part of a chain that movie cash has a contract with, they will take it.
Got news for you buddy; the free ticket also comes in the special extended edition WITHOUT the bookends. That is to say, the 25$, 4 disc version also includes it.
Even if he had set an admin password, Win2k has so many vulnerabilities out of the box, it prolly would have happened anyway. He should have downloaded sp3 and any patches he needed on a secure box, burned it to CD, and not put the box on the net until he had it patched up.
They are both vapor at this point. I cant find a Xabre online anywhere. The GeforceFX isnt going to be released until at least january.
Besides, why does it matter, AMD and Intel have been running on.13 for months.
