    Jawbone2 $25 w/fs.. stolen from SD

    its some motivation at least to not purposely (bait-and-switch, publicity) post prices you dont plan to honor, or to take more care in posting your prices since there's some accountability for it with this in place. but accidents do happen....if i was selling my house or something and left...

    [H]ot! Newegg: OCZ Solid 60 gb SSD $99 shipped, no rebate

    yes, but people are being warned of stuttering issues, and it doesnt help to suggest its a non-issue if you "configure it properly", as if making use of modern OS features somehow puts others at fault for crappy controllers that cause stuttering. and RAID 0 kills the price advantage over a...

    [H]ot! Newegg: OCZ Solid 60 gb SSD $99 shipped, no rebate

    i think the point is having to disable modern OS performance features to circumvent stuttering problems with the drive because the controller cant handle the i/o is testament to the fact that these arent very good drives. i dont think he's refuting that fact that you have to tweak the crap...

    Open Box: Intel X25-M 80GB $245 shipped

    even with the degradation those benchmarks still look great compared to regular HD's. plus it looks like TRIM will address alot of those issues, and Vertex supports it as well as firmware updates. plus...man...that vertex is one hell of a performer all around. that article just sold me on a 30GB...

    Help me tell my host (1and1) they are slowing me down!

    well, even given that the site is poorly designed, if he's getting widely-fluctuating speeds its worth looking into. he also provided a link to a mostly static/basic page that also seems to be loading far slower than sites i have with 1and1. i dont think its out of the question that maybe his...

    Does Abit IP35 Pro support 7.5 multi?

    Java sure rocks.

    google web toolkit converts java to ajax? that actually sounds pretty wicked... i agree, ajax turns into a mess so easilly. im sure experienced ajax coders will argue its cuz im a noob, which is fair, but the whole methodology lends itself to creating a mess of spaghetti code

    "Intel Could Shut Down AMD's CPU Production Completely in Two Months"

    and that's the tough part. which is why i think PowerPC is a more realistic route, if there's to be any attempt by AMD of retaining what they'd lose from the x86 market. tapping the PPC/Apple developer base was a weak point (but not an invalid one), really the words flashing in my head are IBM...

    "Intel Could Shut Down AMD's CPU Production Completely in Two Months"

    IBM's problems wouldnt be an issue. PowerPC is a great architecture/ISA that IBM happens to own licensing rights to. just like with x86/intel, they wouldnt have to be the ones producing the chips. AMD would do it all in house, and the fact that IBM isnt really on the bleeding edge as far as...
