Amazon still says "The following item will arrive after December 25", and I pre-ordered quite some time ago, so YMMV.

dear god what have they done to thinkpads?

@bluesmixer:

the irony here being that AT&T has a tendency of not paying connection fees to smaller CLECs around the nation. Pretty much unless you're invoicing them for 'a big number', AT&T simply will not pay your bill.

not for nothing but most large carriers block access to a handful of numbers, typically party lines or chat conferences associated with abuse. Verizon's unlimited plan is notorious for this.

actually, I'm pretty sure network admins don't really give a hoot about some silly storage technology. You might be thinking of system admins, or more likely DBAs.

And really, this thing isn't that impressive, sure its fast, but its small and likely very expensive. Just becaue they threw expensive disk technology at the problem doesn't make it innovative, or even a good idea.

In a way this is akin to suping up that old '73 dodge charger. Sure, you can drop a bigger enginer in there, bore it out, wider tires, etc. But if your goal is anything other than showing it off at tradeshows and online, well you'd be better off with a corola or something.

Why is it again the military is developing weapons to pacify us civilians?

wtf that doesn't look like a 1,000 won note, or atleast nothing like what I remember

Sweet now I can sneak that stapler through airport security!
