I guess I'd advocate foremost for consistency. However, the acronyms themselves are mot particularly consistent:

Asus reveals full specs for C90 customizable laptop

I would like to humbly request that Engadget stop using the WSXGA, WSXGA+, WUXGA, etc. notation, and simply list the resolution of the screen in pixels, such as: 1680x1050. With the great variety of available resolutions, these acronyms are increasingly annoying and useless. How are people supposed to remember the pixel size equivalents for "Wide Ultra XGA" or "Wide Super XGA Plus"? In any case, the usage on Engadget seems to be inconsistent--some articles list numbers, and some acronyms.

Farking hilarious review (I particularly enjoyed the Cape of Good Hope bit, and the cursed frogurt reference). But do see Nate's earlier reply: the Ferengi thought they were being asked to surrender because they were also screwed. I just saw that episode the other day on GTV.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
