I just remitted a check to the State of New York because of some kind of "revenue sharing" agreement I have with them related to my employment in the state. I believe this makes NY, and by association, your county employer, business partners of mine. I am therefore entitled to a share of the revenue/benefits achieved through this technology you created while employed by my business partner. I happen to need the money more than a WSP file, so please send me cash, check, or starbucks cards.

Easily the least computer literate group on the planet.

And the stock /. answer is to move them all to Linux.

I don't like Windows, but I can't imagine deploying Ubuntu to a bunch of illiterate users. I consistently have problems with distros not configuring WIFI drivers (at all), printers not working on random days, updates whacking stuff that worked, and the general @#$#-hole attitude of the Linux community and their "Well, just open terminal and type the following 25 lines of case-sensitive code."

Don't get me wrong...I love Ubuntu and find it generally easy to use once it's configured, but the moral righteousness of OSS does not make up for the general lack of polish and the complexity of setup. Windows and Mac will continue to dominate the market because they have invested more time making things easy to use, not because they were more "correct" in how they did it.

That's pure heatsink pr0n, those heatsinks don't stay inside cases.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is this fancy heatsink stuff akin to audiophiles and their speaker wire? How much of a performance gain are we really talking about? I only have a bunch of crappy laptops, so I really have no idea.

There's no time like the pleasant.
