I think Slashdot needs to implement a system in which readers/mods can vote for a post (or a few, perhaps include counter to the counter) to be attached to the original submission that provides vital info the original submission fails to include. Too often, submissions that fail to include such vital info tend to render all subsequent discussions rather pointless (this may not be an example, but I'm sure you guys can think of plenty that are).

You can enable 'Multiple Sign-in' by going to http://www.google.com/accounts/

Post like your is what makes Slashdot worth reading, thanks.

Informative and interesting. Thank you for taking the time to write this post.

I think Slashdot should implement a feature that allows readers to vote for a 'post of the thread'.

Many AMD motherboards with the SB710 southbridge have been able to do core unlocking for a while now; most SB710 boards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI have this capability. IIRC, AMD announced that the new chipsets (890 series) can no longer unlock, and that is when the manufacturers decided to do it on their own.

Of course it's relevant--it's talking about lawns!

Agreed on +6 awesome. Thanks very much for your insightful explanation in plain words.

A 50MPH car isn't going any faster when put on a 100MPH highway.

A bit of information I found interesting: "Tentative EPA methodology results show 25 kilowatt hours/100 miles electrical efficiency in city cycle". Maybe miles per kW will become the "MPG" for electric cars?

Could you please point out some good resources to learn this kind of stuff? I'm considered the 'IT guy' among my friends and family, but when their machines get infected I don't know more than running anti-virus, and, last resort, reinstall Windows. I'd love to learn how to see if a machine is "clean" and, if necessary, how to clean it up. Thanks.

Don't know if it's still alive or not, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkroad_Online is very much based on Chinese art style and mythology.
