Ladies and gentlemen... a dying genre. Somebody, please anybody, give me something to look forward to. Is this really it? I think the industry just gave up. =[

I'm inclined to go with two 250 MG drives setup in RAID 0, with a third 250 GB drive used for backup. This is primarily a game machine so there's no mission critical data on this thing. I know RAID 0 will give me the best bang for the buck performance wise, and I also know it is the least failsafe of the RAID levels. This sound like a logical setup?
What about partitioning. I've heard pro's and con's about just leaving everything on one drive, versus setting up a separate partition for the O.S.. Also, I assume you can partition a RAID setup just like a normal drive, correct?
Toraz, you out there?

Wow. I have never known an alcoholic so I'm a bit naive I guess. I thought they just drank a lot at night or something, not all day long. I don't see how a person can even function drinking that much, and he's married!

As of 2008 you can build to order a "new" 25yr old Delorean. This company in Texas acquired all the brand new parts from the long extinct DMC from the 80's. They have enough parts to build some 20,000 Deloreans. It would be fun to drive one around but for $57,000 I think I'll pass.

If it is closed again tomorrow I'm going to Crystal. I've never been there and I've heard great things about it. And I think they just opened up a second lift for all black & double black runs, which would be awesome to try. Anyone done Crystal? Impressions? I bet it was fucking packed today, and probably will be tomorrow, too. Still, I gotta get my fix.

Domestic violence increased on the night Scotland lost to Italy in the Euro 2008 championship qualifier, figures have suggested.
Strathclyde Police revealed that between April and December last year there was an average of 92 domestic abuse incidents reported each day.
However, on Saturday, 17 November, the figure went up to 126.
