Its only when you get down to the 80 and 120 gig sizes that the cache is reduced. And thats to save money on the production costs since the drive itself sells for less. If people want a cheaper, smaller capacity drive, they aren't likely to be willing to pay more for the 16 meg cache.
So "less RAM" can pretty much be eliminated. Your other theories could still be correct though. I personally would lean towards a bug, one that passed the Q&A because it didn't affect all performance characteristics of the drive.
I think the seagate 7200.10 DRIVE was the first non scsi drive with perpendicular, not this particular firmware on the drive. This is a revision of the 7200.10 firmware. In other words, the/. summary is technically/semantically correct, in calling it the first DRIVE. But the AAK firmware wasn't the firmware used over a year ago when the 7200.10 drive was first released AFAIK.
BTW, 2007-2006 = 1 year, not 2 years. Even if you count month 9 minus month 4 (aug - apr) = 5 months, its still less than 1.5 years so you can't round to 2 years yet:)
Easy enough, if you did indeed RTFA, the link to the 400+ page ebook about this scandal is on the right page: http://www.teletruth.org/docs/SCANDALFINAL92006.pd f I'm glad its free now, the author used to charge for it. Maybe I can finally read it.
Essentially very little of the $200 billion is anything to do with phone rates. Its mostly stuff like corporate tax breaks from states and local gov to the companies. A quick check of the ebook shows: Chapter 19 on page 191 of the PDF starts the coverage of the money trail.
A random example on page 200: "[Southwestern Bell's] Telefuture 2000, the plan for Missouri, froze local service rates, and required a $180 million investment in advanced technology."
almost $200 million in a direct investment from the state (not even a tax credit, just a big payment)
There's also another $80 billion in missing equipment (i.e. equipment never purchased, or equipment that was purchased and never installed, or disappeared). So even if you can somehow explain away the $200 billion, there's at least another $80 billion:)
Note that this book is heavily footnoted (500+ footnotes) so feel free to dig around in the source material (much of it taken from public company documents such as annual reports, or 10-K etc) if you wish to verify any of this.
No, don't you remember the terms of the $699? I belive it said (I'm paraphrasing from memory, so I could be totally wrong) you dont get your money back in any case, regardless of what happens; oh and while it was binding on the customer, if I recall it wasn't binding on SCO, so if SCO suddenly won and decided that $699 wasn't enough, they could come after you for more or sue you.

I belive thats for criminal trials. But even if it were not, this case hasn't even GONE to trial yet, so its definately not being speedy. This is all still preliminary stuff BEFORE the trial. Discovery, pre-trial motions, etc.
I hope you realize that directsound hardware support was thrown over the side for Vista. Now its something totally differant. Which is why a lot of older titles have issues in the software emulation version of directsound in Vista. Things such as no surround support, only stereo, sound not working properly, etc. OpenAL titles work fine though. And... oddly enough... the thing MS changed to in Vista for the sound was what xbox is using... thus making it easier to port back and forth. Now surely, SURELY, MS didn't toss out a many years standard just to make it easier for themselves to port sound. Surely they aren't THAT evil.
Nope, think about it. All the satellite pics are taken at differant times, and some pics on places like google earth are years old. If you had a pic from a satellite 2 years ago, and one 1 year ago, you couldn't tell the location of any subs 1 or 2 years ago because you need the combination of photos. Subs dont hang around without moving for years at a time. They patrol. If its actually true that this technology works, it would work because of differances in pics compared to static features like a shipwreck.
Actually, even if its a job that needs a "lift" depending on the car sometimes you can get an attachment that will suspend the engine on the top from a device that mounts on the frame. I.e. for a Buick 97 La Saber, they stupidly put an engine mount through the fan belt, requiring you to remove one of the main engine mounts to replace the belt. Very stupid design, normally you'd have to have a engine crane thingy to fix it. But in the manuals there's a suspension device you can use instead. Now that I think of it though, I bet that special thing would cost over $100, whereas I've seen engine lift/cranes for under $100.
I noticed that. The parent I was replying to had that in his comment, and in another comment in this story I mentioned it myself:) Anyway, yeah, this is real. It was even shown at CES 2007 and chosen as some best something or other of the show.
This was actually a big factor in my decision to buy the game. And I bought the expansion as well, EVEN THOUGH I've yet to play the expansion. I want to support companies like this. Copy protection almost always only inconveniances legitimate customers. For instance, all my copies of windows XP for my computers are legit purchased copies (at least 4 legit copies of retail full version of windows XP pro, not counting any of the laptops that already came with XP). Yet I have more problems when it comes time to reinstall, or repair install or upgrade then times I've seen non-legit installs occur from other people installing on thier computers.
If you RTFA you'll notice they tell you about a secret page you can reach by answering a quiz.
Here's the link:

"Unfortunately, there is no secret page where you can buy cheap NVIDIA cards. How we wish it were true though. Graphics cards are so very expensive."
Official webpage: http://www.powercastco.com/
Also, they were picked "Best Emerging Technology at CES 2007"
Theres other links availible on their webpage (and from google), and NONE of the source articles are dated April 1st.
It isn't. Its a CNN article dated 30th, and someone else dug up an article about this from a while back.
On a side note, pretty much anything dated 30th is before any international dateline of april fools. (i.e. you might see stuff about April Fools on the 31st of march since some places are already at april 1st.
Because no one who responded saying this was april fools or implying it actualy RTFA.
Shows you what small minority percentage of people actually RTFA at all, let alone before they wisely comment on it. Pretty sad eh?
Has nothing to do with that. Thats a problem from the technological limitations of the battery cycle lifetimes
This technology (like TFA says) allows such things as charging your cell phone while you sit at your desk, while its in your pocket.
No, there doesn't. The RIAA has also recently sued XM radio... wait for it... OMG there exists a device from pioneer that lets you tape radio and save as MP3. Because OMG someone might actually record a song on the radio and OMG they aren't getting paid extra for it! ZOMG! http://news.com.com/2100-1047_3-6169844.html?part= rss&tag=2547-1040_3-0-5&subj=news
Hopefully this will be easier than installing SP1 to SBS (small Business) 2003.
When I did SP1 on SBS 2003, MS's auto update killed the system to where it couldn't accept new users, etc. I had to manually install about 3 patches and 2 more versions of SP1 to get it working right. And that was all listed as what to do in a MS knowledge base article. Totally insane way for MS to have it update.
Ah, so you know how to administer one properly? You've checked out all controls in all the thousands of OCX or DLL files that might be run ever to make sure there's nothing like this hiding in there?

Its not less RAM, all the 7200.10 perp drives are 16 meg cache, at least all the ones above 300 gigs are. And looks like some of the 250gig as well_ barracuda_7200_10.pdf
