The newest DX9 benchmark is Aquamark3 which uses a real game engine also. The official release is 15-Sep but here are some early benchmarks: http://www.guru3d.com/article.php?cat=article&id=7 6&pagenumber=9 testing both nvidia's current 4523dets and the upcoming 5175dets.

There will actually be two lines at launch. The 940-pin Athlon64FX(1-way Opteron) will have dual channel DDR while the cheaper 754-pin Athlon64 will have single channel DDR.
"What happens to the 90% of the population who has no such skills and can't develop them?"
The literacy rate in the US is 97%. If you can read, you can learn, even without help from others.
For 97% of the population the only reason for not developing new skills is because of a choice not to.
Americans spend an average of 28hrs/wk watching television. I am sure that if they spend a fraction of that time undertaking some sort of training they will be able to acquire new skills. Yes, that is correct, in the future you may have to watch television for less than 28 hours each week to be competitive in the job marketplace.
"The IP address of my server happened to fall a few dozen numbers away from that of a spammer...Blocking entire IP blocks is nothing short of techie-terrorism."
So you are mad at SPEWS because you are doing business with a company that allows spammers to operate freely?
SPEWS is just a list of IPs owned by companies who allow their connections to be used for abuse, mostly spamming. If your provider is listed it means they are harboring spammers and ignoring complaints.
SPEWS is a list of IP addresses owned by providers who harbor spammers.
That is right, your IP address is owned by a provider who harbors spammers. If you choose to do business with scumbags then you should expect to have your email blocked by reasonable email server admins.

"Fighting spam is one thing, blanket bombing to prevent spam is quite another."
Then how about you set up your own network with millions of users and provide a better solution. The fact is sleazy ISPs shift spammers around their entire netblock as each IP is blacklisted on SPEWS, etc. It is not feasible to blacklist billions of IPs one-by-one. At this rate it would take the scumbags at CogentCo about a thousand years to have all of their IPs blocked. This is why when an organization constantly has spam originating from their netblock and is unwilling or unable to fix the problem the only solution is to blacklist the entire range. If you can come up with another workable solution then implement it and spread the details all over the net, but until you do that the current method is the best available.

Why in the hell would another company be able to tell them what mail they have to accept through THEIR PRIVATE EMAIL SERVERS?

It helps everyone else because we do not have to receive spam from your scumbag ISP.
