   Couldn't do a thing to help the most basic problem...parition died, had to rebuild it. Wouldn't even attempt to find anything. Other apps had no problem though.

   Review - Halite

   0.2.9 Rev 283 Beta (Sep 8, 2007)

   Fiiinnaally. I haven't been able to recommend any client to anyone 'till this came along. Bittorrent, utorrent, bitcomet, azureus all have some big con. Halite is perfect though, nice work guys :D

   0.7.0 Preview Release 8 (Sep 6, 2007)

   Best 3rd party IM out there. Don't be fooled by the bleh screenshot, you can make it look pretty spiff with a bit customizing. Gotta love its 1MB~ memory footprint when idle too.

   Switched from Coolplayer to XMP last week. Very nice lil' program. The best bang for the buck from what I've seen (buck being system resources) :P

6. Comment - T-Mobile is the last of the big four to hike SMS to 20 cents

   And here I was waiting for texting to become standard included in price. Silly me :P

7. Comment - Samsung to sample 256 GB solid state drive in late Q3

   3.4.2.1 (May 28, 2008 - 1:36 PM)

   Actually -current- drives are more like 1 million or close to, if they're using NAND or techniques adopted from NAND. Still, 100k writes a day is reasonable for a server environment. Even if it's evenly distributing the load across the blocks, I'm not sure I would recommend it for a server role for a long-term solution.
   
   For a personal or small business role it'd probably be good though.

   He's referring to the erase cycles that plague flash memory. Writing places stress on the cell due to the nature of static memory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory scroll down a bit and read the "Memory wear" section.
   
   Flash memory is good for read only applications though, like games (eg loading levels).

9. Comment - Are Microsoft's newest webcams the last of a dying breed?

   3.4.2.1 (May 13, 2008 - 8:48 PM)

   Seems webcam resolution has been stuck at the crappy 640 x 480 level since they first started becoming popular back around 2000, eugh...

10. Comment - Kmart Dumps Blu-ray Due to Price

    3.4.2.1 (Oct 31, 2007 - 3:00 PM)

    True...where I use to live, there was no walmart or target and the kmart there was always packed by default. Now where I'm at, the kmart parking lot is pathetic - only a small hubble of cars near the front doors. I dunno how they stay in business. Even still, who goes to kmart to do a major purchase like that?
