How long does it take to boot the OS and what OS is it?
First, 15 seconds for BIOS POST.
Then, 22 seconds for PCI-E SSD to initialize.
Lastly, 14 seconds for Win7 x64 to get to the desktop.

That initialization step actually make the total boot time a few seconds longer than before, but it's the run time that matters.

A local news station's headline about the Costa Concordia called it a "Real-Life Titanic"

This bothers me. A lot.

Well, the Titanic was fictional wasn't it? All that iceberg/lifeboat stuff, tosh.
Everyone knows the whole thing was sucked up by aliens...

Seriously though, what the heck is that supposed to mean? "Real-Life Poseidon Adventure"?

A twitter post relating to the wikipedia blackout:

Obama should be banning texting and driving nationwide, not getting rid of wikipedia

Breathing the air here is like trying to suck ice cream through a stir stick.

And yet here in Canada the tiny snowfall is melting and we can almost walk around without jackets. This puzzle brought to you by global warming(?!) :huh:

We've been having an odd go at it this time around. Every time we've been hit by an Alberta Clipper, the next day or two has seen a thaw. In fact last week (what was it, Wednesday?) we were all out and about during the day sans jackets. That night, the temps dropped to sub-freezing.

cliffs of dover looks epic, but the system requirements are equally epic

the lowest "supported" ATI card is 4850, i dont think my 3000 will cope very well, or my "4GB" of RAM thats somehow become 2.8 or so

not to mention that BT has messes up our broadband, and a 10Gb download would take anywhere from a day to a week, never mind the 1000ms ping i get on some european servers

perhaps in a couple of years when i have a new computer, but first i need to save up for my motorbike, so i can halve my weekly travel expenses

now i really want it :(

a ubisoft product? incredible

this has got to be the most graphically pleasing game/sim i have ever seen

and multiplayer battles that can last a year? that has to be bloody marvellous!
