@paulwhit haven't done anything with blu-ray on the HTPC yet. Looks like Blu-Ray ROM drives are down to $99 on newegg though.

@deftone it's looking like you really want a native 8-pin PSU for the GTX 280, though some people report using adapters/converters. Annoying

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BrockLee the extremely low idle power usage of the GTX 280 sold me on it

@kebernet I have a 600w PSU, just not "the right" 600w PSU I guess. Bummer. I knew about 8pins but assumed the two 6-pins would suffice.

@a_williams to be clear, I mean over a 24 hour period without killing ff3.exe, not all at once. that's @jongalloway you're thinking of.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@a_williams I'm still a little bitter about all the "oh, it's your extensions" carping when 3.0.1 fixed a *major* problem I had with FF3.

Jeff Atwood

@a_williams I've been told that before, but I open hundreds of instances of FF3 throughout the day and thousands of tabs. 3 monitors, man.

@jongalloway try working with MVC a bit more to understand why caching is really difficult in that environment..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jezell looking like that's the only way at the moment. Would LOVE to be able to cache partial HTML views, but need SubControllers, I think

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@karlseguin you can -- but you're not caching anything interesting because the DB work is done upstream in the Controller every time.
