Yes, but with SSDs you still have a divide between "random" and "sequential" access, based on the size of the access. Anandtech does 4KB reads/writes for their "random" tests, and 2MB reads/writes for their "sequential" tests. One thing that holds true for all SSDs on the market so far is a high sequential read speed, but significantly slower random read speed.
You have it backwards. Crossfire works on pretty much any motherboard with multiple PCIe slots, provided they have sufficient bandwidth between them. SLI requires the motherboard manufacturer to purchase a license from Nvidia to support SLI on the board.
If I'm not mistaken, Intel's X58 board was the first Intel-made board to support SLI, and I don't think anyone made a P45 board supporting it.
I don't know. The things most keeping me from using FreeBSD instead of Linux on the desktop are closed source, ironically (NVidia blobs and Cedega, mostly)
I'm not a BSD user, but wouldn't you be able to use FreeBSD's binary compatibility to run Cedega, at least?
The problem with that experiment is that most wifi devices make some kind of noise when turned on, and most devices supply at least some power to the antenna when turned on, even if wireless transmission is off.
I can hear my router in a quiet room, even though it's fanless. Mostly due to the LEDs making noise.
One of the towns in my area uses meters for the spaces immediately in front of the stores on Main Street, but then there's ample free parking within two blocks.
Then you find the nearest Starfleet Academy shuttle bay, steal a shuttle, and head for the sun. Hmm... something's wrong with that plan, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
Simple. You need a metaphasic shield installed first.
And yes, I have biked at -20F and windy as well as 100F and humid. In order for me to be here today, my ancestors likely needed to run many miles in both conditions to outrun tigers, chase buffalo off cliffs, and other such tasks. Without the benefits of modern technology.
Yes, but your ancestors' "co-workers" likely didn't care too much how they smelled.;)
I have a feeling that the opinion of Vista will stay largely static forever; it may have introduced new features, but it still wasn't that good. This is already how the public feels about WinME -- it added useful features like System Restore, but it wasn't until XP that those features were incorporated in a good OS.
But what if you knew that a Flux Capacitor would make time travel possible, and knew how it would work? Would you tell everyone how it worked before you managed to build one?
Consider, it's a bit like me saying "I know, I'll invent a time-machine". And then not having a clue how to do it. Ideas are cheap, it's actualling managing to do it - to solve the problems in the way and so on - that counts.
True, but what if you managed to build a flux capacitor? Would you be willing to tell people what it does, or would you just point to a flashing box and say "This is what makes time travel possible!"
Yeah, it's a simple dialog box saying something like "Would you like to install restricted codecs to play this video?"
Compare this to Windows, where you have to download a codec pack (or, make a mess of your computer by installing 10 different codecs independently). Windows users also haven't quite come to a consensus on the best codec pack (I use CCCP), which means that there's a chance of incompatibility between two machines. This has made it so that even though most people use WMP, MPC, or Zoom Player, that most people have VLC installed as well just in case they come across something that other players don't handle well.
I don't have that option. We have a light rail system where I currently live, but my commute runs almost exactly perpendicular to the track.
The apartment I'm looking to move this fall is going to be out of reasonable biking range, but if I had an electric car, it would be nice if I could still pedal along to help reduce the amount of power I have to feed in from my wall socket.

Haven't we been through this before? Nobody has taken the cross platform capabilities of Java seriously since "All Your Base" jokes went out of style.
What you say?!?
Oh, sorry. :/
Even if there's no serial port, many motherboards still come with a serial header; the white header on the bottom of this board is for a serial port.
How about a change back to the advertising format of Jack Benny? :)

The guy didn't have a machete; it was a scimitar.
Maybe you're thinking of my next film project, "Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash vs. Indy"?
Ever buy an Olive at Olive Garden, nope, there ya go "The Garden" it is.
Just make sure you accentuate the "R" sound, otherwise you'll confuse Bostonians who will think of The Gahden
"'The Grapes of Wrath'? I don't get it."
"Here's the grapes, and here's the wrath!"
[squish]
"Yes, yes, very good wrath."
I've only seen the first three movies, you insensitive clod!
Please send a link or something; I want to read this. :)

without things waiting in some weird limbo for three days
This phenomenon is usually known as a "weekend".
If you order on a Friday, your order won't likely ship before Monday, because they don't work weekends.
Rush processing applies for orders made before noon, and if they don't ship your order that day, they refund the rush processing fee.

Do you like this solution? Why or why not?

Although the GNU utils tend to be more full-featured, it's perfectly possible to use the Linux kernel with a BSD userland.

As a former resident of New England, I thank you not to include *shudder* Pennsylvania as a member of our fine region.
And technically, Maddox's site uses mostly grey text, so you don't get the persistence of vision effect that coolgeek refers to.
