Behind the Windows 7 memory usage scaremongering http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/02/behind-the-windows-7-memory-usage-scaremongering.ars

Indeed.

All your other points are fine but it really rubs me the wrong way when people talk about FUTURE unfunded obligations as if they are already owed right now. Future obligations will have to be paid from future taxes and its quite likely benefits will have to be reduced (e.g. later retirement...

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-7-ram-memory-xp,9701.html If you read the follow-ups the these articles you will see that the original author has been completely discredited and that Win7 uses extra memory for disk caching rather than letting it sit idle/wasted. This in no way...

I have a pretty fast car - how many speeding tickets a year on average will I get?

Not sure what exactly you are asking but it would seem the answer depends a lot on what your modem is connected to. Most cable infrastructures contain powered elements throughout the neighborhoods - if one of those nodes that feed you loses power then your cable goes down. FIOS is...

You really can't draw any conclusions about home prices until the gov't stops messing with the market. That includes gov't MBS purchases, home buyer tax credits, gov't mandated deferred/delayed foreclosure programs, mortgage term modification programs, mortgage principle reductions/cramdowns...

What physical medium are they using to provide 100/100Mbps service to you?

You are wrong because colding isn't a word.

Is Taiwan to China what North Korea is to the US? I don't see the analogy.

Since the original post was made in Nov of last year I'm pretty sure that zdreg has resolved the problem by now, one way or another.

Yep, there are plenty of "power supply sizing" calculators on the net - the original poster should have tried one first.

A good 800W power supply should have no problem with an I7 processor, 4 drives and a video card. Still trying to grasp what designer RAM is too.

I used to believe that any recent video card would be fine for 2D but a Tom's Hardware article I read yesterday actually said that some high-end video cards actually suck at 2D, it appears they have been focusing all their effort at 3D...not sure what to make of that except to stay away from...

Find some freeware software that will monitor your motherboard/cpu temperature constantly (runs in system tray) and leaving it running all the time. See if its overheating.

When you buy a Dell you know that all the pieces are going to work together out of the box, e.g. you're not going to have some strange hardware interactions or driver incompatibility issue because they have tested it. If you buy Dell's when they are heavily discounted you can easily get a...

It only runs applications that work on iPhone OS, so unless some ports trading apps to that OS (which would have to be blessed by Apple) the answer is no. Its not a general purpose computing platform like a PC or Mac, its a closed tightly controlled environment.

You are in the warning period right now. Don't expect the gov't to pre-announce it or coverage about it coming on tv. Not saying its a forgone conclusion at this point but without a serious effort to turn the ship around I don't see any other ending to the current course we are on.

How soon they forget about what happened after Katrina - and that was when people still had hope that help was coming...imagine Katrina on a national/global scale where everyone realizes that the central gov't is not going to come help them in a few days. Utter chaos. Edit: Here, let me...
