    Hybrid SSD (New type of affordable hard disk)

    1TB makes no difference, the cache/block sizes associated with them can. However, SSDs have MUCH faster reads then 10,000RPM drives. I only use Raptors myself, so yes, this is a big deal. The introduction of the SSD drives is about as significant an event as Conroe was to the processor. One...

    Please review my site

    I really like it, I might like it better centered, though. Also the page is much longer then it's content. You should minimize the scroll where possible

    Web Server Advice.

    My guess is that he wants to make it out of components. You can set your home computer up as a server. Just download Apache or learn about IIS. For the specs you mentioned, you won't need any super hardware. The problem is that it won't be a dedicated server, so you won't be having a static...

    Hybrid SSD (New type of affordable hard disk)

    I believe that's easy to find something that costs the upper end, but that's not the average, and that's not for a home purchase; plus that price is not worth 2500, even for an SLC. Sure you can find high priced ones, Newegg even has one for $3K USD, but that's not the home version, nor are...

    Lets Settle This Once and For All, What Came first the chicken or the egg?

    I'm not sure I agree with Evolutionism. I think I'm more of a Creationistic person. I would still say the chicken, either way. The Chicken would have evolved from a different organism/animal, or Mr. Almighty would have put it on the Earth.

    Please review my site

    I also thought the ">>fun >>games ...etc" were links - are they going to be in the future? I also agree with the comment that the submenus should have either a white border or a background color so you can find them easily. also you need more... some more images in teh main body and the menu...

    Hybrid SSD (New type of affordable hard disk)

    I think you misunderstood the post. Hybrid drives are pretty much dead. There is no need to get a hybrid when you can get a fully-fledge SSD. wrong again. they are available for home use. I would not advise buying one, though unless it's an intel. they're not seen commonly in home...

    [Game Programming] Highlander

    Here I'll tell you something you need, that I bet you no one here has - including the C programmers. You need someone with experience in Direct3D/DirectX/OpenGL. You'll need to make this with multiple languages. You can get DirectX development kits to learn from MSDN, but it's going to be...

    Which adds-on do you like best?

    if you web program, Firebug and IETab is a must. Also, ForecastFox is good for weather. I also like HTML Verifications.

    When in doubt reinstall :) Not worth the time finding it.

    Energy Saving (or not!)

    Inefficient for its size? I agree with that. But the custom, enthusiast market is big. People want to mod there computers to not only perform the best, but also look a certain way. This requires being big enough to accommodate many different types of heat sinks and the ability to change...

    What's good about this?

    To everyone saying it keeps things cold - you're wrong. A computer that idles at 45C on air cooling, will be at 80C in the oil - not at first, but the specific heat is higher. In order for the oil to stay cool, you need some sort of radiator or exhaust fan to cool the oil - this could damage...

    Energy Saving (or not!)

    Power isn't the only struggle, there's also the ability to reduce friction via lubrications or better designed surfaces. I also think that the original post forgot that some of the energy was also lost to vibrations to the case. Nevertheless, there is no way any laptop is capable of...

    Phone to PC recorder

    Or you could just use VoIP. Very easy to record a telephone message on the computer.

    windows 7

    I think this all attributes to the early release of "Windows 7" aka Vista. Windows 7 was the original design for the XP/Server2003 update in 2005, but it was put on hold. Then Windows had to revise XP because of the Blaster worm. Eventually, Vista was released in the interim, basically as a...

    Making Offline Apps?

    Ahh, offline->online. Much different from online->offline. There are several methods you could use. You can still take advantage of the Scheduler/Crontab, or you could write a constantly running service/program of your own. One method is to build into the app to just connect to the online...

    What would you improve?

    BAD idea. If you want you can set up a redirect so you don't see the "cgi-bin" in your address bar, but this is set up for security reasons. Corey, I know you said one, but I would like: + As noted by others, some suspension cleanup + The new forum takes longer to load (I like the old one) +...

    More info about the rand() function ?

    You shouldn't be so hasty to close. This is correct. rand(num) generates a range of values between 0 and that number, but not including the number. Yes and no. It's the only way to do from 0..(n-1). The function does what it's meant to do. Usually, a person would opt to include the upper...

    Making Offline Apps?

    I'm trying to understand your question. What do you mean by used actions? And by live, do you mean Microsoft Live, as in the mail client? Any sort of connection can be done by the use of any computer. Usually you want to run it on a scheduler, such as Microsoft Scheduler, or Crontab...
