I think people stay in MMOs for the social aspect of it. You made it sound like a bad thing by saying it's a "glorified chat" but really, it's chat where the people have a defined goal or objective. So they can talk about whatever including the game and their objectives in the game. I agree though if the objective is always the same, it can get boring, but that's when talking about different things comes in to play to break the monotony.
I don't play WoW, but I do play other games (TF2, L4D, WAR,...) with "online friends" and I've been friends with these guys for over a year because we talk to each other in ventrilo about all types of stuff. I would have stopped playing TF2 a long time ago if it wasn't for chatting with these other people.
From my experience, I have set up a network with about 10 Belkin routers, they didn't have great range and the WDS on them was sometimes "shakey" (probably due to range/antenna issues perhaps). I was also having to restart some of these too often. I tried to put DD-WRT on some of them, and after bricking a few, it was time to move to something else.
I then tried to switch over half of the network to Linksys ones, but they didn't do the WDS for some reason at all. I returned all of those.
Now comes the Buffalo routers, I flashed all of them with DD-WRT and now I have a very stable network set up with about 12 (and growing!) WDS-connected routers. Most are Buffalos with DD-WRT and hopefully one day they all will be since you can do SNMP (sp?) monitoring on them.
Bottomline: All the points the parent mentioned plus they have been very stable for me compared with others and they have had better range (whoops, that's one of his points).
One of these days I'll set up a blog post or something detailing my network. This network is at a lodging facility on a lake where all the buildings are semi-sparsely located and it's actually a major selling point to a lot of guests looking for a place to vacation.
I'm not sure what the metal is either. At first I though they were talking about Liquidmetal(TM)
But they don't mention that it is those trademarked alloys. I still suspect it's another amorphous alloy (bulk metallic glass) even though that's not mentioned in the article and I haven't seen any other posts that mention that might be what it is. In any case, the Zirconium based Liquidmetal(TM) uses Zr, Be, Ti, Cu, and Ni. Here's the wikipedia article on Liquidmetal
I've done a bit of research on AA/BMG's but nothing with the thermal properties though
If you're looking to use it as a backup server using BackupPC software, then I've made a HOWTO on the DNS323 wiki: http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:backuppc
I use RAID 1 on it for the redundant backup and since it's only two drives, it's not RAID 5 like the OP was looking for. But for the rest of you out there, if you're looking for a 25W backup server, this is a good offering.
IANAICFE (IC Fab. Expert) but I do know that in testing for functionality, they just test a small sampling from a batch to determine whether the whole batch is good or not. It's possible that they found that one batch had a bad core by their small sample which means that other chips in that batch of quadcores (that are now selling as 3 cores) possibly had 4 functioning cores. Anyway, to the semantics, one core is definitely disabled but not necessarily defective (yes, I know you said "more correct" suggesting that 'defective' isn't 100% accurate either, but I've already written this much...). On the plus side, I like seeing the word "chicanery".
I use I'm Feeling Lucky for some Quicksearches (or Keyword Searches) in Firefox. For example, for doing a standard google search, I just do "g " in the address bar, and for I'm Feeling Lucky, I use "f "
But I also use it for searching certain websites like the MySQL Manual
In the link you referenced, definition 5 seems to apply to this case:
"5. an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected."
I think the meaning in the original story is that the government official was paid to stop/deter corruption. As a casual and uninformed observer, I would expect him to not take bribes. The outcome was contrary to this.
"Asians eat carbs with almost every meal (rice, noodles). They are thinner than us. End of story."
You've left out a lot of variables here. I'm certainly no expert, which is why I have questions.
As someone pointed out, human waste may have caloric content. If so, how much of the calories (or carbs, perhaps) eaten are not broken down or absorbed and passed through the body? Surely this changes with different people who have different metabolisms. Does one ethnicity or group tend to have a higher calorie stool?
Champion eater http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeru_KobayashiTakeru Kobayashi has consumed in recent years 6,000 calories a day yet still has a low percentage body fat (this is disputing your simple argument that they just eat less...though you're talking about general trends and I'm giving a specific example). Clearly he's an anomaly, but could there be a trend in Asian people to be more like this? Naturally, there are these same anomalies in people or European decent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Chestnut).
Again, not an expert and, in fact, my knowledge of food and nutrition health is short reaching -- that's why I have a lot of questions.
it can never contain all of the data present in an analog groove This statement is true
Suppose you digitally stored the location of all the atoms in an analog groove. Don't you think at this point you contain all of the data present in the analog groove (that is, data readable by a typical needle or laser)?

Actually, I'd say 99% of people have made real headshots. I'd even say 1%.
We pay $60 / 6mo for a ventrilo server. So $10/mo/(#num of people pitching in)
Or would that be $10 / fucking month

They are SCOmbies and their weaknesses are still unknown (their mortal weaknesses that is--I think plenty is known about their legal weaknesses).

I suppose the bit-rate might be kinda high.
