Right, but how many of those scalped PS3 were actually sold vs returned for the restocking fee?
I can still walk into my local chain electronics store and find 360's (granted they have been out for a while) PS3's (didn't check if core or full systems) laying around all over the place, and have been able to do so for the last 3-4 months without any difficulty. To date I have only seen Wii's still in stock once.
Just fyi history > date/time of update http://www.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Oblivion:Lin ux&oldid=106687 Also there have been a couple changes since the last Mongoose entry that included many typo-fixes, and a possibly improved way of installing the DirectX dll's
I forgot to mention the ABR (Avergae Bitrate) which is what those bitrates are for. the VBR has a Quality setting but thats not the bitrate per-se.
CBR still does not play on the iPod.
well heres some quick calculations
and for this I'll do everything with *b not *ib (faster to calculate that way, and most marketing types use those numbers to relay capacity anyway)
250,000,000,000 bits over the 2592000 seconds
96,450 bits a second
I know with my connection through Comcast that I am supposed to get 386kb up, at that rate I could upload close to a Tb of data in a months time, and with their download rate, 8Mb down I believe you could download nearly 20Tb
I couldn't tell you either.
Aside from the wtf is a sandtank (ground water model) analogy. He incorrectly used effected, and I am guessing that he meant 'yea' instead of 'year'.
Usually I ready to bash MS with the next guy, but they did mention that Vista Capable meant it sucks
A new PC running Windows XP that carries the Windows Vista Capable PC logo can run Windows Vista. All editions of Windows Vista will deliver core experiences such as innovations in organizing and finding information, security, and reliability. All Windows Vista Capable PCs will run these core experiences at a minimum. Some features available in the premium editions of Windows Vista--like the new Windows Aero user experience--may require advanced or additional hardware.
A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:
* A modern processor (at least 800MHz).
* 512 MB of system memory.
* A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
I have to agree, this college that I am currently at blocks everything except 80 and 443, needless to say i changed sshd on my comps at home to run on 443 also.
When I first heard about Vista/Longhorn it seemed like it would be good. Usable userlevel accounts, video driver handling that wouldn't BSOD the whole system if they faulted.
Since then, its just become the reason I format my systems and re-install from scratch to avoid the bloat ware.
Its backwards compat leaves something to be desired, IE7 doesn't even show to be much better than 6, breaking things like SSL (at least at first) blackboard which is essential to some classes at many Universities is unacceptable for students.
From when I was using the beta's the UI has become so overly bloated, not that it needs to be simplified like gnome to nothingness, it needed a lot of cleaning up and organization.
I'm sure that there is some use for the widgets, I couldn't find any.
Hell I couldn't even auth into the schools network so that I could even attempt to make use of the system, might have been fixed now.
Plug and play for "arbitrary devices" is still pretty weak in GNU/linux at this point. It's not surprising: the gadgets have been built with the intention that they work right out of the box with Windows.
Parents just bought an HP7210 Printer/Scanner/Fax.
Had to spend nearly an hour with the install disc on the windows computers to install it so that printing works.
My Laptop with Ubuntu: Installed HPLIP (HP Linux and Imaging System) and Xsane configured and running with printing and scanning in around 10.
Nearly all devices for windows that are more than an over glorified memory device need their custom software and a reboot to install.
If I yank the CD-drive from my laptop while running GNU/linux, it locks completely.
Why your yanking out drives on a running computer is beyond me, but if you mean the CD itself it will either keep it (mounted), or let you take it out hassle free
I can't plug in ethernet after having turned the computer on, rather I have to boot with it plugged in.
Works fine for me with both wireless and wired
1st person shooters are totally out of the question
Last FPS I played for a non-console was UT2K4 and that had a Linux installer on disc.
As for the drive issues at least I can get drivers for my laptop from the repositories, Windows does have them on their update site and I cannot get them from the manufacturer out of warranty, rendering the thing a brick if it wasn't already one when I got it (dead harddrive on arrival, but thats another story)
Well I have systems that would not install windows no matter how many times I tried. The ratio there was about 0:5 before I decided to just make a disc image and write it in there from another machine. The ofcouse it needed to be re-activated and the guy on the phone didn't seem to understand that the installer doesn't work (Pre-SP2 Disc btw) on >~120GB Hard Drives. Phoned back and the activation code worked then from the automated service.
This is/. If you can't pick up where the breaks are in the thought from someone who forgot to change to plaintext, forgot to preview, or forgot to tag their quotes and paragraphs you haven't been around long enough.
Computer models based on the dynamo theory reproduce the properties of Earth's magnetic field well, but the weakness of Mercury's field is a puzzle. Theory predicts that it should have 30% of Earth's strength, but only 1% has been observed.
Actually it was today during this Astronomy course I'm in and that was part of the lecture.
Nice to see where this educational material is incorrect, but the field is still extremely weak.

They also failed to mention that its immune to nuclear bombing on the surface.

/. has needed that option for a while.
That, and a stab poster in the face option.
Apparently the iPod is also have issues with specific VBR files as well

This would be isolated to certain situations in some song and the hardware choices at apple, but again, don't blanket statement a format when it encompasses more than one thing.
I forgot to mention the ABR (Avergae Bitrate) which is what those bitrates are for. the VBR has a Quality setting but thats not the bitrate per-se.
CBR still does not play on the iPod.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
This is lacking support for the mp3 Constant Bitrate format Wikipedia/MP3 Wikipedia/Constant_bitrate
Although the VBR format is arguably better than the CBR format please don't try and incorrectly blanket all aspects of a format.

This is a BETA release, read the Tags for this page... if you want the stable grab 6.06 LTS release
well with all of that lobbying, kickbacks, and things of those nature, they both are extensions of the other.
Its alright, if this blows over we still have the asteroid in 2034. we can still put that off.

Ah okay, I was not aware of the effect of the Sun's magnetic field.
