    Even better audio from a laptop v. Audio-gd NFB-15.1 + Emotiva Pro Airmotiv 4

    You need to define relevant. Just because there's something at 8Hz doesn't mean it's relevant. If it's 30dB below some content at 30Hz you'll never hear it and there's no point trying to reproduce it. You need to set realistic goals given your budget. There are only really two ways to get...

    Pagefile and SSDs

    Didn't Intel early on claim the pagefile was the perfect sort of thing to put on a SSD? I have a few computers where the pagefile resides on the SSD (where the SSD is the only drive) and I've made no attempts to disable or restrict it.

    Huh? They still have 'em for sale. The 8's are only ~425% more than the 4's. I'd consider them to be pretty much interchangeable also.

    Remote Control Aircraft

    I have a few small indoor helicopters that I play with at work and am noodling over the idea of getting a small quadcopter, like the Heli-Max 1SQ, but that's about as far as I plan to get into it. No planes.

    Are you using a receiver or just plugging the speakers into your PC? If you want to use a subwoofer correctly you really need something that will do proper bass management (ie: remove the content from the mains and router it to the subwoofer).

    Larger HDD to smaller SSD questions

    You probably need to resize the large partition on your HD so that the number of sectors in use on the HD are less than the number on the SSD and then clone the entire HD to the SSD.

    question ZFS and WD green drives?

    I passed on that one. I did go get two of the $99.99 external USB 3.0 3TB Seagate drives from Costco though. At least they have a 2 year warranty.

    question ZFS and WD green drives?

    If you're talking about this drive it's not limit 1. I put 25 of them in my cart and the price stays the same. I didn't try to checkout though. So, unless the limit kicks in at the final step of checkout you could buy as many as you want.

    So I "talked" another friend into buying a S4. He's ordered a 6MT Prestige with pretty much all the options. I should be getting commissions from Audi... I got my 5k mile oil change today as well as the electronic power steering recall done.

    It all depends what you're trying to protect against. Any sort of massive wide scale calamity is likely to eliminate the endless supply of natural gas flowing to your house also.

    You can cut headcount significantly but it's going to get more expensive not less expensive. People are much less expensive weapons (from a $$$ standpoint) than technology. However, the American public no longer has any stomach for troop casualties and limited tolerance of collateral damage...
