Honestly, there probably isn't a really compelling reason to switch, if you've been able to survive through DNS caching. Dreamhost's customer service is good, and their problems mostly stem from the fact that they do the exact same thing ev

The three-year-old model (which I also have) has a native 1440x900 display, so abalone is right about that -- though you're right that RAM was upgradeable on the 2009 model. But the bigger question is, why the crap is this polluting Hacker

24fps is what's needed for film, because it's fast enough for persistence of vision to carry one frame's image over to the next while the shutter is closed. And in film, motion usually gets smoothed by the non-zero exposure time. If video g
