Anandtech has an article explaining pretty much everything about SSDs
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=3531
Yeah, it's long, but here are some of the highlights
- What kind of real performance benefits SSDs can give
- Why SSDs lose performance over time (and what type of performance they lose)
- Why some SSDs cause your system to stutter sometimes
- OCZs newest SSDs and what's been improved in them
- Better SSD benchmarks (not just sequential read/write, but random read/write which is where many SSDs fail miserably)

Defragmenting the hard disk, I get no visual indicator of how much it has progressed. Instead of the old system where it showed the sectors on the hard disk, I get a message saying "Defragmenting hard disk c:... This may take from a few minutes to a few hours.". It's been like that for 20 minutes now.
Please tell me this shit is improved in Windows 7.

i have the 6 disc stock stereo and when playing an mp3 cd, do you know how to switch to the next disc without just waiting to go to the last track in the last folder and waiting for it to end?
p.s., why does the pause button pause satellite radio but not do anything for cds.

"Angelina Jolie film advert banned for glamorising violence"q
Actually what that should read is:
"Angelina Jolie film advert banned because officials think it glamorizes violence and they make your decisions for you."
"We concluded the ad could be seen to condone violence by glorifying or glamorising the use of guns," its adjudication said.
Notice they're acting on the potential and not an actual reality. That's always a dangerous precedent when it comes to government restriction on liberty.
They knew better than you and will prevent you from seeing something you might find entertaining for fear it might potentially entice you to want to own a gun or to think anything even remotely positive about firearms.

With work I sometimes have to do dog an pony shows over the web, and for the few I've done to date we've been using Zoho Meeting http://meeting.zoho.com/ , which works pretty well but it has some really annoying shortcomings.
1) No voice, so we resort to using the phone system. In a way this is good because not everyone is equipped with a mic
2) We can't record our Zoho Meeting sessions
Has anyone used anything that's good and reasonably priced? TIA!

>> Twice a year, between the months of February and March, the Atlantic Ocean waters roll up the Amazon river, in Brazil, generating the longest wave on the Earth. The phenomenon, known as the Pororoca, is caused by the tides of the Atlantic Ocean which meet the mouth of the river. This tidal bore generates waves up to 12 feet high which can last for over half an hour.
So, what to do when this happens? Surf it of course: http://fogonazos.blogspot.com/2007/03/pororoca-surfing-amazon.html
Facebook is a bit of a bitch sometimes. My cousin just updated her status to read "RIP Uncle Dick."
I've spent the last half an hour trying to get a hold of my family to see whats going on, but haven't had any luck.
I think that my grandfather just passed away. After growing up with my grandparents I'm really kind of lost. First watching my grandmother die from cancer a few years ago, and now this...I was closer to them then I am even with my own parents.
I guess I just needed to say something somewhere.

Nobody's talking about bit.trip beat
I dusted off my Wii and got it a few hours ago, and it's pretty great. It's got elements of Rez, Pong, Shmups, and rhythm games. It's got a lot of old school style, and not just superficially. It's as addictive as it is frustrating. I don't usually go for hard games, but because it really keeps you in the flow once you've learned some of the patterns it's really rewarding.
