I saw the 61A750's (LED DLP) was $1460 at amazon the other day! I hinted to my wife that I wanted to get it...(she promptly denied me. We have a HL-T5075s 720p [50 inch] that we got last Dec. Still, we've put probably over 2500 hours on it since then).
The "your ancestors did X to my ancestors" crap only works for so many centuries. Was it wrong? Yes. Do I want to use my tax dollars to atone for it? No. Long story short: Get over it alerady
CSMA/CD still applies, except for the fact that on a switched architecture your collision domain is only a single port on the switch. Therefore the problem will lie between the switch and the device itself.
CSMA/CD is still important in modern ethernet networks, due to the fact that some devices do not properly auto-negotiate. Some devices doesn't obey the RFC's for interpacket spacing in an effort to improve their throughput that can wreak havoc on networks.
In many cases, if a link fails auto negotiation it will default to a half duplex link, where CSMA/CD is of vital importance.
lets not forget the potholes on the roads. Hit one of the monster sink holes on I5 at 400 mph...I can see it now:
"Car flies into air at 400mph, does a 1080, lands in school yard 2 miles away and kills 19 children."
P.S. Don't forget potheads, either. People don't drive safely at 5mpg with their cellphones, makeup, DVDs, nav systems, iPods, McDonalds...you get the idea
You were listening to a salesman. What the hell did you expect?
2g is MORE than enough for Vista- WAY more.
If you look at Vista's internals, it DOES offer features to blow people away. Superfetch (which takes advantage of the extra RAM you may put in, assuming you decide to go to 64bit OS obviously) is a wonderful feature. Give it enough time to learn what to grab and you'll be very pleased with the results.
Like what, encrypting your disk? Or encrypting your memory? Or realizing that both memory encryption and full disk encryption can both be defeated with physical access?
Just that the only time my vista box had its NVIDIA driver crash, the screen flickered and then a nice box down in the notification area said "xxxxx driver experienced a crash and has recovered" - and I didn't lose all my apps.
As far as troubleshooting NTFS crashes: No, because TBH, I don't experience a lot of crashes in general. I've yet to have a crash with Vista save for one issue with "PowerNow" functionality. It didn't appear to be the fault of vista though because suse 10.3 also locked when it was enabled on various occasions (The whole OS). Worst I've ever had is a shutdown during a write and a chkdisk automatically happens and it 'fixes' any issues it thinks it has.

FiOS is in Redmond last I checked. Other areas around Greater Seattle area.
Still no where near Tacoma area though.
To follow up on this point: Apparently we also use the "Standard units" to describe measurements used in ...pretty much just 1 country in the world.
ohhh boy. Cue the posters that scream "Linux is a kernel" :p
Total: US 65

ehhh. HP 373i quad port gig nic pci express kicks ass and only runs about $350
same thing with my diablo 2 keys...
like the copy of warcraft 3 on my desk with frozen throne I can't play with my friends because I don't have my serial #?
Original disk, no serial. SOL.
I have a 720p TV and blu-ray looks gorgeous compared to SD DVDs...what are you smoking?
I concur about the DLP scaling - my SD looks better than on my 22". Samsung DLP does a fine job making SD look like it "should". 50" DLP here
Samsung 61A650?

For most plasmas, the burn in protection time is approximately 100 hours. After that, you needn't worry about pillarboxing or letterboxing burnin.

Please - only because you use craptastic Dell machines.
We built a DL580 G5 (Dual proc quad core 2.2ghz intel procs) with 64gigs of RAM and an add-on 4 port gigabit NIC.
All for the low price of $14,000.
That price from Dell (instant savings and all) makes me want to puke.
You have too many letters in the quote of Bush. Everyone knows it is "ter'ist"
The Chicken is the eggs way of making another egg. In this case, the egg isn't producing a chicken, therefore, it will die out.
There are some new devices that don't conform to specs that don't properly auto negotiate.. :)

Don't install firewire cards?
Firewire is a security risk.

Properly?

FYI My vista media center PC automatically boots and auto logs in in about 23 seconds flat. (Not from sleep, from cold boot)
So what you're saying is your entire OS basically just crashed...
