The Marvell driver has had the most work on it because it's the controller in the X4500 (a.k.a. Thumper). Yes, it's had its issues, but it's a very stable driver because of all the attention now:). In fact, my contact at Sun tells me there should be some more patches coming out shortly that'll fix the last of the corner cases (most of the problems with the driver were around corner cases involving drive errors).
It's a shame that you gave up, but of course you should use whatever works best for you. For me, Solaris just works better than any Linux distro I've tried.
The biggest problem with Solaris is the installer, no question about it, but that's something that is (finally) changing with Project Indiana and the new packaging system. Give it a whirl in a month when it's released -- I think you'll be impressed at the progress made.
Wow, so you're agreeing with the parent, but then disagreeing. You can't have it both ways. "If no one bothers, then..." -- come on, dude. Let's cut 'em some slack, huh? Why are you so militantly opposed to the possiblity of OpenSolaris success? Ask yourself that.
Any AHCI-based SATA controller will work. Marvell-based SATA controllers (models 88SX5081, 88SX5080, 88SX5040, 88SX5041, 88SX6081, and 88SX6041), nvidia nforce sata, silicon image 3124. AHCI and Marvell are good choices. There's also a ton of SAS support (e.g. LSI, Adaptec).
What didn't work? What chipset? AHCI-based SATA support has been integrated for some time now and installs flawlessly on every system in my lab. For those of you with complaints about hardware support, you really need to take another look at Solaris -- new drivers are arriving monthly.
Excuse me but that's REALLY hard to believe here. I seriously doubt that Harmonix had *intent* to produce a soundalike for this song. If they had, why not do the same for all the other songs? Why big this one shitty song? There are tons more better songs to cover verbatim. In this case (and I do think you have to look for INTENT here), I don't think there's ANY case.
It takes a lot of cojones to stand up and say they're slipping the release for quality. I had a ton of respect for them. I know it'll be worth the wait!
I was in Fry's the other day and noticed a number of different manufacturers selling HDMI cables -- Monster at $100, another major brand at $90, then there were the generics for $15. People just don't understand that Monster cables are total overkill for HDMI. If you can see the signal, the cable's good. There is no analog improvement, no matter how much technobabble Monster wants you to think matters.
It's not surprising that Windows Vista's power management "isn't working" -- Apple hasn't certified its hardware with the Windows hardware test suite, which tests, among other things, that the ACPI tables are properly formatted for Windows' use (and yes, CPU pstate management and thermal zone (fan) control is part of ACPI). Additionally, there are no Vista CPU drivers for enhanced speedstep/C1e, so until that happens, you won't see any improvement in power consumption / heat generation.
Instead of a fair review, he takes every opportunity to bash Apple. Let's not mention the thousands of features Windows stole from Apple, no, that would be way too fair. What a putz.
Have you ever been confronted by a suicidal terrorist with an explosives belt? How to stop that person, who's running towards a crowded train so that they have no chance to detonate their payload in the midst of several hundred innocent commuters? You shoot them in the head. Yes, 7 times, The more the better, so they cannot hit that switch. Live in Israel for a bit and see what bus stop and mall security people have to go through, then go spouting off about use of force.

That was f*ckin hilarious, dude. +10 :).

So you specifically answered "Leave service open" when you installed, right? What did you expect was going to happen?
Miles Dyson! Didn't he create the precursor to the T-200 using the chips from the first Schwarzzenegger crushed in that press-thingie?
...not as Sec Def though.

Damn, Mom was right, I *knew* I should have become a radiologist.
A few kilobytes for a kernel? But how USEFUL is it? I got a kernel right ova' hea': PUSH $0 POP EAX JMP .-$9
done.

...I've ever read on Slashdot; Logical, methodical and concise. I wish all posts were this good.
It's not on any map I can find.
Methane is pretty volatile, not to mention stinky, though given a choice, I'd rather be rich and smell like crap than poor and smell like corn.
Is that like coke cain?
Nice. Not everyone got the Back to the Future reference, but I did (I have horrible taste in movies).
