Whoa momma ♥ ♥ ♥
There are already devices like that, and at much higher storage levels. They do cost a fortune though. http://violin-memory.com/index.php They don't list prices for a reason... if you have to ask....

They are hardly the first. The fusion-io stuff has been available for a while. Given it's more expensive it also doesn't need to use RAID 0 to hit it's performance numbers. http://www.dvnation.com/Fusion-IO-IODrive-SSD-Solid-State-Disk-Drive.html http://www.fusionio.com/Products.aspx

Battlestar Galactica
This was touched on briefly, the final five agreed to help the cylons create the skinjobs if they stopped the war with the humans. So it's fairly safe to assume that the 8 models were made shortly after the first cylon war.

Discrete op amp?
There's actually a very simple answer to this, in the case of the m192 MKII. In between the MKI and MKII Northstar released a new CDP the Sapphire. The MKII uses the exact same dac and output section as the Sapphire. Seems pretty likely to me that it was mostly a cost savings move.

Safari question
Not sure about the OS X version but it works the same way as it does on firefox for the Windows version.

Tell me about your Home Theater Setup
Good luck, there isn't going to be much in that price range that supports blu-ray. Your really asking quite a lot for that price range, 5.1 speakers + blu-ray + something to drive them. Hard to squeeze that under $1k and have it not sound horrible.

Yep it's a pretty nice server, quad core 2.8ghz cpu, 8 gigs of ram and two 500gig hd's in raid 1. Plenty of room for expanding the disk array which is usually the first bottleneck people run into with db-driven apps/sites.

Omega Super 8 Alnico
I imagine a B22 would easily drive Omegas I think the most inefficient speaker in the Omega lineup is 93db.

Some fun BSG news, Universal will be releasing the entire series on Blu-Ray as a "complete series" set on July 28th.

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse
Yeah I think what bugged me about the premiere was the total lack of backstory/history.

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse
He's also been in a few episodes of Leverage.

Joss Whedon's Dollhouse
The 2nd ep of Dollhouse was significantly better than the premier which I didn't really like at all.

Tim de Paravicini: King of Tubes
Open it up and take some close-up pics. That's about the only way we'll be able to know for sure what's driving the balanced outs.

Doing just fine, the new server actually arrived and was installed on Friday. Still doing some of the initial configuration and then I'll schedule (and of course announce) a date/time when I'll move the site over. Should be very minimal downtime when it does happen.

The new Grado lineup
If Grado is smart the PS1000 will be as close to the PS-1's as possible.

Really three potential ISP's that offer Wimax in your area? That honestly surprises me as it's still pretty new tech and not that widespread yet. I wouldn't bother with Satellite, it'd probably be more reliable than your dsl but not any faster, probably slower in fact. I'd just go ahead and get cable it's likely your best bet.

Quadro Graphics Cards/Pro Graphics Cards
Nope they aren't at all, and if you run into any apps that happen to require the "certified" driver crap you can actually download the pro drivers and hack them very easily to run on the consumer cards. I'm with nate go with a quad core cpu and load it up ram.
