I'd like to see an analysis of the instances quoted.

Ab-so-lutely. And frankly, I'll be more inclined to dive into said analysis when I can go to RTFA for its info, and not find it taking the form of a complaint--a whiny complaint containing heavy injections of prejudice in its own right, a la srlinuxx: "I accepted that's just the way men are. They've always been that way and they always would."

That doesn't get around the bottleneck at all.

I get nearly 2X the speed of a single drive that is limited by SATA. Theoretically, that might not be the same thing but for all *PRACTICAL* purposes, it gets around the bottleneck just fine for me :-)

Yep, doubling your bus count usually doubles your transfer speed. *rolling eyes*

Cereal and milk all over my keyboard and mousepad. Thanks.

Exactly. Plus maybe we *will* soon want ethernet to our displays, proper. The end of this summary immediately popped to mind. They're just being forward-thinking and people are complaining?

The US Air Force got pilots to identify a plane in a pic flashed up for a fraction of a second. The fraction where it dropped below 90% accuracy was 1/220th of a second. Also, if you reverse your test and flash white on a black wall, for most people the fraction of a second to see that the flash occurred is in the order of ten-thousandths of a second.

...get the old glass...

...he stole the glass...

Reading comprehension people. Just garbage-picking construction debris for fun and profit. If you're going to "roadside-recycle," industrial waste is where it's at.

Sigh. It's an even-less-powerful a statement than your correction--rather: "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." (italics mine) Oh, and it's not a 'saying' in the normal sense; its a passage from the Bible, he he.

The only thing I'm missing is 64-channel Dobly Digital, which I'll give up any day just to sit in a theatre full of people who are there to watch a movie and not sit and IM all night.

Couldn't agree with you more about the cell phones, but wtf is 64-channel Dolby Digital? That sounds awesome!

Maybe it is not aimed at cinemagoers, more projectionists?

Um, projectionists usually sit in the booth, not in the seats.

Just as an anecdotal data point, I requested coupons the day after the last /. article about their running out. I got them in the mail last week. I'm guessing you were asking rhetorically, but just in case; folks who couldn't wait are boned.

Nop stupif. And nonody likws a smattass.

ianal but I'd guess failing to pay is, itself, the crime. fun how they make it all work out, i'nt it?

I guess no one is cross checking the orbits of all satellites?

Yes, of course, they certainly ARE watching all satellites!

So why, oh, why didn't somebody point a fleet of telescopes at the expected collision/spread area and get us some of the best news-as-it-happens, stuff that matters, scientifically-useful video footage ever!?!slash! In all seriousness though, getting video of these events seems a no-brainer good idea. A shame as this one sounds like it was spectacular. I suppose at this rate there's always next time. and the time after that. and...

Doesn't this deserve to be under idle?

Also has a bad summary (par?) and even has "I did my job though, and you clicked on the headline" quoted in the summary. C'mon... how do you miss an editing layup like that?
