Re:How about some more *durable* flash drives?

If you're looking for a durable drive, take a look at the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium line of drives.
Retractable USB drive encased material "over two and a half times the strength of titanium alloy". Now I don't know about that, but I have the 512MB version (looks like they have up to 2GB now) for the past year and a half and it's rock solid and I love it.
So then I open IE6... To be fair however I thought I should open the three sites I have open in my FF tabs in IE.
iexplore.exe ---> 42,976k
iexplore.exe ---> 24,444k
iexplore.exe ---> 38,408k
Total iexplore.exe RAM usage 105,828k
Firefox with the same sites open in three tabs ---> 31,776k
If firefox is leaking on my machine it's into a big bucket called iexplore.exe
This is fair?
For a more fair 'benchmark' instead of launching 3 iexplore.exe processes, use the 'New Window' feature of Internet Explorer to open the 3 URLs in the same Internet Explorer session. That or launch 3 firefox.exe processes.

When did the article make it the main page? It seems that when people refer to when an article was posted, they are talking about when the article was submitted to digg.com, not when it appeared on the digg front page. Even sites such as digg vs dot use the digg article submission time and compare this with when the article appeared on Slashdot.
This is comparing apples vs oranges.
What I would like to see is a comparison of when the digg articles appear on the digg front page vs when they appear on the Slashdot front page.
It's unfortunate that reporters such as this guy would sensationalize
a talk by carefully crafting his story from bits and pieces mostly
taken out of context. So, in all fairness to my firm and to those who
were not present, I feel compelled to set the story straight.
First off, the story is not an interview even though it may come across
as such. The title is rather sensational but I certainly wasn't
desperate. There were problems and they were fixed and our team was
just very resourceful in doing so.

No, this is taken out of context. What I said was that we had very big
and important changes that we needed to make in order to restore network
and application stability. My reference to just going ahead and doing it
referred to making the necessary changes behind the scenes. It wasn't
about company politics and it wasn't about migrating services from Windows
to OpenBSD. My experience was that we did ourselves a disfavour by trying
to inform and explain to users and management the technical reasons for
the changes that needed to be made. In fact, all of the pushback had
nothing to do with OpenBSD. We needed to migrate from an old Domain
Controller with a corrupt Active Directory to a new one. We also
introduced the concept of working on Application Servers in Terminal
Services to take advantage of server power for resource intensive
applications that ran very slowly on users' PCs. So, the push back was
related to things like "you'll have to login to this new Domain rather
than the old one from tomorrow onwards." or getting users to change the
way they work and use applications running on a Terminal Servers for speed.
In the end, when all was sad and done, users and management realized the
difference that we had made; no more downtime or data loss. Furthermore,
they've never had everything running so smoothly and as efficiently for
as long as they could remember. Their IT problems went away as a result
of our efforts and the decisions that we made.
In fact, all of the migrations to OpenBSD were either behind the scenes
where the users were oblivious to the changes. Well, almost oblivious.
Often times we would get "Hey, the Internet is really fast today, cool!"
or "Man, can you guys like spill some coffee in the server room or
something? We're not used to this much uptime. It means we can't go
home early anymore!"
In those cases where users did have to interact with OpenBSD, it was
always well received and positive such as moving off of a very slow VPN
for remote access on to a quicker and more user friendly alternative
such as port forwarding applications through OpenSSH.

Once again, migrating services to OpenBSD was not an issue. So long as
we did not compromise security in doing so. Generally, we did so to
improve security and that's what OpenBSD is famous for and yet there's
so much more.

If you don't like the ports system and prefer binaries you should explore the OpenBSD package system.
There is no need to manually go through your old configuration files. You should take a look at mergemaster. It makes the whole process much easier than you can imagine, giving you full control over all changes.
Installing OpenBSD was a piece of cake, just some new users might be put off by the text only installer at first, but if you can get past that, you'll realize that it is so straight forward.
One of the things I love about OpenBSD is that the documentation and man pages are so well done, having a look at the Installation Guide and the afterboot(8) man page, virtually anyone can have full fledged secure by default OS installed configured in a breeze.

There were so many great games this year, but the more and more I thought about them, I realized most of the games I thought about were in fact based on a franchise.
The first one that came to mind was Prince of Persia which basically re-invented itself from the classic PC platformer, so it wouldn't qualify, even though I consider it to be an original game...
But to answer with what you're looking for, I guess Top Spin would be the only game I can think of that is not based on a franchise. Even that one though you can argue is based on Sega's Tennis 2K series.

Just to clarify the incorrect information in the article posted, Google (GOOG) is traded on the NASDAQ market, not the NYSE.
It's now available, posted this afternoon on Engadget.

There's a really good document describing setting up an OpenBSD server to run as a proxy for Exchange:
Fairly-Secure Anti-SPAM Gateway Using OpenBSD, Postfix, Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin, Razor and DCC
there's also's also a DOS based port of mpg123.

Since they couldn't find the copyright of the ROM, it seems it can be freely distributed.
There are tons of free hotspots in the New York City metro area as well.
