I already have 8GB on my home server and that makes very little difference from 4GB since it sits idle at ~4GB most of the time. But the SSD made a world of difference. A 2-3 minute boot became 25 seconds. A 1+ minute shutdown became about 5 seconds. I don't worry about reboots anymore, because it's around 30 seconds total (instead of 5 minutes)! Game cutscenes are almost instantly skippable (within 2-3 seconds), if they allow it. EVERY program loads instantly. Installs take mere seconds (even OpenOffice or Office 2007).
BTW, my RAM maxes out at 24 GB on this board, but if you told me the 24GB would help more than the 64GB SSD (about $90), you would be doing me a horrific disservice.
You're on Slashdot! They're telling you now because THEY want the movie early. And they figure that now that they told all of us about it, it should be on BitTorrent in 3..2..1...
I don't care about strategy, but the NHL is lousy at telling if the puck is above the height of the crossbar when a goal is deflected out of the air. My team has been obviously burned on this twice this season, one game-winning goal for the other guys allowed and another disallowed for us that should have counted. I would love for stats so the ref could instantly tell if a puck crossed the goal line under a goalie, too.
The kid who apologized and realized the gravity of a false rape accusation was only suspended. The kid who refused to admit they were wrong was expelled. Seems simple.
Ah, but I was at Fry's recently looking at receivers and the sales guys never mentioned Sony once, despite them having half the shelf. Finally, when I mentioned a specific feature, they reluctantly told me that the Sony model did have that feature in my price range. I told them that I wouldn't touch Sony with a 10-foot pole and they smiled and agreed completely, telling me that they don't push them at all and that they are not selling. They'll tell the customers about Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, but NOT Sony.
Christian music. Like soft rock, but about Jesus. Apparently a lot of Christians missed that part in the Bible about a man not being corrupted by what goes into him, but rather by what comes out. So it's exquisitely careful to never address anything intense, controversial, political, or insightful, and tries hard not to use a fast tempo.
There's a ton of Christian music like what you say. The radio just doesn't play it. That's why I love Pandora. If I want edgy, controversial, insightful Christian music that rocks, I can find it.
I listen to Christian music and have since the 80s. Back then we had a great station in Orange County and it was easy to listen to new music. And I bought a ton of it. In the 90s, the Christian-owned stations went out of business and were replaced with Clear Channel's "The Fish" which plays the same 10 songs over and over all day. I quit listening and as a result, I quit buying music.
At my last job, they had music on in the office and this guy liked 80s music so he played it every day. Now, I didn't use to mind 80s music, but it gets real old real fast. So I finally decided to try Pandora to save my sanity. I discovered a treasure trove of new Christian bands in the 2000s that are really good, way better than most secular music today even (like it's hard to be better than Lady Gaga or the Black Eyed Peas). I go on Amazon and buy used CDs unless the MP3 albums are cheaper. And if only 2-3 songs are good, I just buy the tracks instead.
Point is, I have bought more music in the past 2 years than in the past 15. And it's all because of Pandora. The music industry are the biggest idiots in the world if they kill it. So expect to see it disappear soon...
Nonsense. Every bar and restaurant has to pay an exorbitant amount for a public performance license. The money just never makes its way back to the artists.
What about inkjets that count pages and then don't let you print using your half-full cartridge. HP would at least let you change it and put it back in. Epson remembered and didn't even let you do that. Can we send Epson to jail for 15 years?

OK, this was funny. But I think he was saying that Muslim terrorists wouldn't use it if it were called Bacon.
If they care so much, why don't they raise money and build their own free FSFMail? They can make it as free as they want.
What's that? They can't afford to? So, basically it makes it look like FSF stands for FreeLOADER Software Foundation.
Which is kind of right, actually, since the 7.6 million number was considered completely ridiculous at the time.

As long as iPhones and iPads keep selling like hotcakes, never.
I believe you mean we went from scrolls to codices (plural of codex). Both are books.
Which tenets would those be? Creationist conservative Christian monk Gregor Mendel's?
Should a flat earther be denied college admittance? And I really don't care if people study if the earth is flat...
Nobody was motivated, because of Other OS.
So then it's pretty amazing that Geohot got it working, isn't it? Either that, or Sony was lying and only removed it in software...

FTFY
Anything that started with 10. would hide better.
I thought you couldn't write a virus on a Mac...
Well then, it's a good thing I spell perfectly and don't make typos!
Dang it! I just incriminated myself, since I seem to be in the 1% of Americans that can.

Um, the 50-year-old teacher in charge of the station likes it?

It's the frog in the pot. It has slowly been degrading over the past 30 years. It's hard to notice when it becomes unreadable...
Seriously. If this guy gets more than a couple years it's not justice. This should in no way exceed any penalty for raping or killing anyone.
