The GTR (unless you are referring to the Ultima GTR) is front-engined and all-wheel drive. One with 1400 hp probably has a tremendous amount of turbo lag as well. I really don't think you can compare that to the mid-engined, naturally aspirated V10 Carrera GT.

I don't see how this lets me do anything that my receiver doesn't. Plus my receiver has 7 HDMI inputs instead of just 1...

BetterFS and ButterFS are both correct. http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/167-amanda-mcpherson/22449-a-conversation-with-chris-mason-on-btrfs-the-next-generation-file-system-for-linux

Ah, that's right. I recall having to push some button on the garage door receiver and then do the learning sequence within a certain number of seconds (30?).

My car has HomeLink in the mirror. I believe in order to learn the code the remote needs to be close to the mirror (though I didn't test from further away). For rolling codes, I had to capture several button presses in a row (about 5 times, if I recall correctly). I'm pretty sure the captures need to be sequential to learn the rolling code.

Ferrari built a car that could do 201 mph in 1987. Glad to see they're improving...

I ditched Amarok for Clementine a while back as well. It just works better. I don't see how adding a bunch of new features is a "Return to the Origin"...

Immediately after updating to 21 I noticed the browser seemed awfully sluggish. They re-enabled smooth scrolling... Turning it [back] off fixed the problem, but why couldn't it keep my previous setting?

You can still order certain models without Windows: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/thinkpad-laptops-with-dos.shtml

Xfce does this as well. I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and this is one of my favorite features.

I think 10.10 is a better choice for a netbook at least until this issue gets resolved... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131

Except that that is wrong. A little distribution called Ubuntu 11.04 uses 2.6.38 which is affected. But no one uses Ubuntu, right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes

Yep. And all variations. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes

We are offering a trade-in program for at least one series of models, but I'd guess it's still around the six-figure range when you include installation and such. There are plenty of feature advantages (e.g. bigger database) of the new models to provide incentive to upgrade as well. A good portion of our sales are upgrades already, either from our old systems or from a competitor's product.

As long as it works, there will always be someone who will still use it instead of upgrading.

My company still buys loads of 3.5" floppies to send monthly data updates to our legacy customers. Since we charge them $X,XXX per year for the subscription we don't want to drop support. It would cost most our customers $XXX,XXX to upgrade to our newer product which supports USB drives and SD cards, so it will be a while before we stop buying 3.5" floppy disks. Our bigger problem is our slightly newer legacy products which use ZIP disks, since the drives and disks for those are getting harder to find in bulk.
