So, CFLs are a bad choice for you so everyone else must stop buying them. Gotcha. That settles it. I'm throwing out my CFLS that have been working fine for me ever since I got them because they break in your fixtures.
A couple years ago I had 6Mbs cable and I only ever reached top speed when I hit a local server. With no one else using the connection I could usually only hit around 4Mbs. I know what I could use 100Mbs for but that wouldn't last very long because my hard drive would fill up pretty quickly.
It's more than that. It is price elasticity. You'll pay more for something that you think you need than something you want. You'd pay thousands of dollars for a single pill that costs $.20 to make simply because it will save your life. Same thing with hearing aides, you need them to function well in society so you'll pay a premium for it. You may not like how much you pay but you'll still pay it. Why would a company lower prices if people will buy at the current prices?
I just upgraded from a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 to a Core i3-530. The difference is astounding. A typical DVD movie image would take my P4 about 8 hours to convert to an iPhone-compatible format whereas the i3 only takes 20 minutes. Sure, I got the cheapest Core series processor but I don't even know what do do with all that power. I could convert all my movies but that would only take the afternoon.
Of course. You have to do that calculation for yourself because it only applies to you. The cost of the CPU is the only constant and possibly the only expense. What if you are just replacing the CPU? Those other costs don't matter.
It can still protect you without a password. On the higher settings, the prompt appears on a virtual desktop that the program that triggered the prompt can't see.
The only problem I've had with menus is when each menu level is also a link. I could navigate Fry's website just fine with their menus but the also turned each item into a link. So instead of moving through a few menu items I now have to load a few pages to get to what I want.
I installed and ran it on a computer with 512MB RAM and a 64MB integrated graphics processor. It ran very well. Aero only stuttered when it was asked to do an animation spanning most of the 1600x900 screen. I was suprised Aero ran at all!
Windows 7 will run on just about anything. You don't have to worry about hardware unless the computer is 10 years old. It ran better than XP on my 6 year old laptop.
I agree. What's wrong with Windows 7? My dad switched from XP to 7 and was ready to go after a 15-minute walkthrough. He hasn't called to ask about anything. I tried switching him to Ubuntu but he was calling all the time to ask questions.
Flash can't work very well on a phone because it was designed for computers. Computers have an ever-present pointing device called a mouse that is used to activate many Flash elements. How do you replicate that with a pointer that only exists long enough to click on something?
Of course it went down faster than "other" air superiority fighters. It isn't an air superiority fighter even if that is one of the roles it can take on.
Popular Science had a really good analogy for dogfighting stealth fighters. It is like putting two people in a big and completely dark room with a flashlight and a handgun. The first person to turn on their flashlight will likely get shot by the other person.
Everyone on the road will see your sports car, everyone in your house will see your sports computer. There is no one in your house for you to show off.
To add to that, my dad decided he needed a new computer, even though he only does email and word processing. He decided that $600-$700 was a good amount to spend. We went out shopping with all that in mind and I could not believe how much computer you can get for that price. We ended up getting the cheapest one we could find from a brand that we were comfortable with and ended up with a dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, and a 20-inch monitor. Despite being one of the least-powerful computers we could find, it will never be pushed in any way.
What it sounds like to me is that you think art should be fully understood immediately. If that's the case, art has no purpose because there are ways to communicate that are very direct and quick and don't require art. Art should have an obvious meaning or quality but that should never be all it is trying to say. There should always be a deeper message and if that message is not understood by some, it is their failing, not yours.

I'd take that over literally tons guaranteed to enter the environment thanks to coal plants.
Now with more identity!
Your lights are on only an hour a day? That's astounding!
Let's do correct numbers:
60W incandescent: 60W * 3.13hrs * 30 days = 5.6kWh
13W CFL(60W equivalent: 13W * 3.13hrs * 30 days = 1.2kWh
That's a difference of 4.4kWh/month or $4.77/year/bulb. That means my CFL will pay for itself in a only few months.

If you know people that are getting UAC prompts all the time, you need to get with them and figure out exactly why. That shouldn't happen.

That is a freakishly small drive. My parents bought a cheap computer 4 years ago that had a 100GB drive.

Funny enough, iPhone OSX is a form of OSX and it is running on a touchscreen tablet. Apple never promised even that much. The tablet was all rumors.
You must not come here often. Vista has an actual SP2 now. Maybe you meant to say SP3?
The doors are always wider than the seats, smartass.

People apparently "get it." Just because you don't fully understand it immediately doesn't make it bad art.
It really is 7. It only says 6.1 for compatibility reasons. I don't have the link the the developers blog at the moment.
