I've read Masters of Doom and I thought it was very interesting. It does make John R. look like an ego, but it also makes Jon C. look like an ego. Perhaps deservingly or perhaps not. There was a tidbit about the 'make you his bitch' controversy. It wasn't even John's idea. Not only that, but he was skeptical about it according to the book. Not only that, but Romero is creditted for putting the additude into gaming that has inspired many games and game developers-- or so I imagine. If you get the chance read it. It's a great insight into the minds of both Jons.
I didn't see any mention of this in any of the other posts, so I'll point it out. The upcoming ICH6 Intel southbridge will incorperate a SATA-RAID controller (optional?). It is supposed to feature the capability of running both RAID0 and RAID1 simultaniously. Each drive is segmented identically into RAID1 and RAID0 portions for your liking. You could load your OS onto the 0 and important data on the 1 with one simple low overhead onboard controller. Unfortunately this product is not yet available. Hopefully soon.
I really hate the fact that there are so many differant screw types. There should be one. They all work the same way so why not have a universal screw? Stupid engineers think their so cool with their screws. I can think of a screw... it's 3.55 mms long and.9 mms in diameter with a thread rate of 1 per.5 mms and I call it Screw 'U jaHG-000'. AKA 'Screw you jag-offs'. Pisses me off that 'scientists' feel so compelled to add unneeded complexities just to pad their meaningless lives with esteem.

Decaying bodies would ruin the integrity.
