    Why doens't Apple make a ruggedized iPhone?

    Apple isn't going to ruin the lines of any product they sell for something a "silly" as ruggedness. I've had a Magpul case on every iPhone I have owned(and my wife has a pink one), and they have all held up very well.

    ESXi 4.0 and Nehalem Xeon

    I can confirm that 90% of the time a single CPU is better for performance from desktop to servers. We have 3(4 host) clusters consisting of Istanbul(Hex Core), Dunnington(Hex Core), and Nehalem(Quad Core) architectures. It has been true for every arch, and every version of VMWare we've used.

    Any Virtualization products support boot from USB?

    We have a 4-node ESXi cluster of Sun 4450s(hopefully more to come soon). We have mil-spec thumb drives plugged into the internal USB ports, and no internal storage. They have great so far.

    [H] Community Tech Support

    I had a very skittish cat ruin a spanking new Voodoo3 that way. Doorbell rang. He jumped, and somehow managed to land in the crack between the desk and wall. The PC and monitor wedged in the crack between the desk and wall, and the port just popped off.

    Legacy & MPEG-4

    XvMC is what you need to be reading about. It has worked with nVidia cards in Linux since the GeForce 4 era. The amount it will help is unknown. I have a 7300GS in a X2 3600+ machine, and the card does a big portion of the video.

    Thought this was funny.

    Our AD Servers are 2003, and they've been up for nearly a year without a single issue. I'm no Windows lover by any means(typing this from my powerbook while ssh'ed into my MythTV box), but even the server 2000 machines we have don't have too many problems. Most "Windows" problems are cause by...

    Newegg Deals 11/01

    It's more than enough for both tasks unless we're talking about HD for the media PC. Even then if you paired with a video card that can handle most of the decode it should be fine.

    FS/FT: Acer TM4404 Laptop and stuff

    I am interested in partial trade, but not for a video card or pocketpc. I'm only using a 19" widescreen, and my unlocked/overclocked card is more than adequate for the games I rarely play.
