What I can't see is any fool paying an annual subscription cost to have this "feature". What the hell, son?]]>Jan 21st 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/
Don't all new notebooks come out of sleep relatively quickly. I know my two year old Macbook did it in a second or so. That's why I don't understand this at all. Why buy a good computer, spend more money for a second operating system, that does so much less?]]>Jan 21st 2009 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/Jan 21st 2009 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/Jan 21st 2009 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/

well maybe it's late, but your first post read absolutely fine to me.

One question I have about the instant-on OS, does the regular OS keep loading while you do your stuff? otherwise it seems like you're going to have to waste time regardless.]]>Jan 21st 2009 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/

Do you actually know what the Kessel Run is? Does Han Solo ever explain it?

No

Maybe the Kessel Run is sort of like an equivalent of a 0-60mph figure with automobiles, a figure that is measured in distance. Maybe the Kessel Run is a competition to see who's spaceship can get to a certain space-speed in the least amount of distance? And maybe less than 12 (not 10) parsecs is a fucking awesome ranking?

Did you ever think about any of this when you were correcting someone about their Star Wars mistake that is based in a fantasy world that in which you have absolutely no idea what the Kessel Run is and how it should be measured?

There's also this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_Run but it only seems like a bunch of bullshit written by nerds who try to overanalyze Star Wars quotes. (oh shit, I guess that's what we're doing)]]>Jan 21st 2009 5:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies//Light applause ]]>Jan 21st 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/

It's not a crazy price for a commercial OS, and the subscription does offer you a much better deal than Windows if you only use it for one year.

The main problem is that this is a much less useful OS than Windows, as it's not intended to be full-featured, and you need a real OS for other work. That, and free UNIX OSes, pretty much makes this particular type of OS a hard sell at any price.]]>Jan 21st 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/
Second, I have no idea why my previous comment was Lowest Ranked. I will say that the Engadget community can be very fickle with their rating system and it depends on the wind direction and the time of the month. One just never knows how they're going to react. So, if I had to guess as to why I was Lowest Ranked, would it be because I was so over the top with my comment? I honestly don't know.]]>Jan 21st 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/Jan 21st 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/Jan 21st 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/Jan 21st 2009 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/hyperspace-instant-on-os-wont-come-free-on-asus-lappies/I have thought it through.

It seems like this would only make me hot and bothered while I was still an XP-era PC user, and my Laptop would take like 30 seconds to "Wake Up" every time I opened the clamshell. Does Vista behave the same way?
