Great job on the blog!
After a call today with Ivo, we decided that the Super User Blog is now sufficiently awesome to be highlighted in the footer! You'll note that the blog link in the Super User footer now points to
http://superuser.blogoverflow.com/
And it will correctly update to flag [ne...
> You said you mirrored the drive using Acronis TrueImage; in my experience, unless you jump through hoops while cloning from a HDD to an SSD using any current version of Acronis, the resulting partition on the SSD is not properly aligned, causing mild performance degradation. Did you check alignment prior to running benchmarks? If the partition wasn’t aligned, you’ll see even greater performance out of the SSD after aligning the partition.

Also, someone's moaning about the fact the URLs not nice, and how he registered stackoverflow.blogoverflow.com, although he just registered the username.
With the SSD’s on their way from Kingston, I decided to go a little bit more in detail on the what, why, and how’s of SSD’s. SSD stands for Solid State Drive. This “Solid State” is a term for the fact that the drives themselves do not have any mechanically moving parts. A typical Hard [...]
Super User Question of the Week [7 February 2011 - 14 February 2011] With the roll out of IPv6 and IPv4 addresses quickly running out, there will be soon a greater migration over to IPv6. But there seems to be an issue, your computer’s MAC address may be included with the new IPv6 address. In comes Arjan’s [...]
Super User Question of the Week [14 Febuary 2011 – 21 February 2011] Google’s search results have been well… under the spotlight recently, including our very own Jeff Atwood. Lifehacker did a poll recently and discovered that nearly 77 percent of their readers think that “Google’s search results are less useful”. But whether you agree [...]
Super User Question of the Week [21 Febuary 2011 – 28 February 2011] If you’ve got an HP laptop and noticed that it overheats often, don’t just write it off as unfixable. You might be suffering from the CPU Assassin! A little bit of background. Sathya had a problem with his laptop. As a super [...]
It’s finally here, Super User’s test comparison of the SSD, HDD and Hybrid drives! All thanks to Kingston’s donations. Overview: We took one Kingston ssdNOW V 100 series drive and recorded read/write speeds and boot up time benchmarks and compared the results to a Seagate Momenus XT 7200 rpm Hybrrdid Drive, and a Seagate Momentus [...]

Okay, well I'm guessing now is time to turn on that caching plugin I started setting up.
For not logged in users and users that havent commented before it uses an already rendered version of the page. For logged in users and those who have commented it loads the page as normal.
jeff's done a few posts on his blog over the years (like this one http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/building-a-pc-part-i.html) on building his own PC, though it's been a while since he's done that. it might be fun to do a SuperUser blog post about how to choose hardware for a PC, then building it, then benchmarking it
We could have one blog post in which community members would be invited to discuss what we should put in the build, and how to go about that selection process, discussing how to balance price vs. performance, etc. Then, once we all decided on what to get, you could use the SU funds to purchase the parts, then one of us could put it together (dibs?), and run benchmarks and stuff. then either that person could keep it or it could be awarded by some means to some superuser member
