It's great they're beginning to research hydrates

There are literally thousands of tons of methane hydrates all bundled up nicely on the ocean floor next to small cracks and fissures that leak methane.
Now that people are actually beginning to do real research into transporting them and extracting methane from the hydrates, perhaps it will be possible to mine these methane fields, where there is enough energy to last hundreds of years
they're trying to keep power-users from overclocking, justifying it by the fact that some "evil systems builders" buy cheaper processors and overclock them, selling them to YOUR mom unknowingly, who then calls you at 2am when her computer catches on fire from all the heat.
Son! I was just playing online scrabble and chatting on AOL when my computer started to melt! Did I break the internet???
BF1942 was written and produced by an amazing group of guys... DICE made a friggin' great game.. EA had little to do with it, outside of working them too hard on an expansion before the original game was patched up well
that a year, year and a half ago, none of this would have been necessary. nvidia was on top of the graphics world, at least for gaming, and nobody really came close..
if, instead of wasting all this time with promotion, advertising, and closed-door boardroom deals, they had been tossing more money into R&D then maybe they would have a VIABLE, SHIPPING product that could COMPETE with the radeon these days..
and the first 2 i had no real choice about
the other 2.. well, i just really read reviews, found a price/performance point that worked for me, shopped around online for the best deal, and dove in feet first.. as long as the company had a good return policy.. with the price difference between local and online being over 100$ for the 19" monitors i've had, it was worth taking the chance to save the extra money..
plus, these days, monitor technology's getting so much better and so much cheaper, it's not as much of a crapshoot to buy 19" and 21" displays as it was say, 3-5 years ago when i bought my first one...
i knew a guy who beta tested their local network mp3 player/internet radio thing a few months back.. he really enjoyed doing it, and got to keep the product afterwards.. the company got good feedback, he got some nice hardware, and everyone was happy...
and for them, getting the huge demographic data isn't a bad deal, either

airplanes, too... and really, new food additives aren't on my "to do" list, either

then i'd be far, far closer... if only i had.. well.. any money at all
