The 487-25 was more expensive than a DX2-50 Overdrive in 1994, when I bought the OD. Completely pointless.
BTW, they didn't have a separate 487-only socket. My system's manual said its spare socket was for a 487, but it took the Overdrive just fine. I could have gone up to a DX4-75 if I'd wanted to, but IIRC those weren't available yet when I did the upgrade. It was not compatible with the Pentium Overdrives; there was a slightly later 486 CPU socket that was, and I'd be surprised if it took 487s.
...and I say "bounce the graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish" That's the way we do things, lads Just making shit up as we wish The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us 'Cause if we find we're in a bind We'll just make some shit up.

Pay attention to what I'm saying mate. I'm agreeing with you; however, the ratings agency said themselves that (paraphrasing) teabagger intransigence is what caused them to do it right this moment.
What you don't seem to grok is that you seem to know what you're doing. The guy who asked the question is certainly not going to know how to use all those things.
Just because/you/ know a good way to do something with a bunch of complicated tools doesn't mean that most other people do.
It's sad and disgusting[1] that we Americans didn't learn the same lesson from our troubles that you Norwegians did.
[1] Especially given that the same people who want torture and more "security" are often the same ones who wharrgarbl about the USA being a Christian country, or at least call themselves Christian and make a big deal about the Constitution.
Well, yes. New cars right now have good safety standards, it's just that force equals mass times the square of the velocity, so a small car is still at a disadvantage compared to an SUV.
But if you legislated standards to make cars meet a minimum efficiency standard (like, oh, light bulbs) you'd get the ignorant rednecks screaming about gummint coming to take away their manly trucks and demagogues taking advantage of their ignorance to get votes.
No, we should restrict max height closer to a station wagon.
Also, we absolutely must have a minimum standard for bumper height. Too many redneck idiots with body-lift kits who don't lower their bumpers back down, so they'll ride up on our hoods and decaptitate us.

Your average luser isn't going to know about ABP or NS.
Try again.
How secure can Emacs be with all that malicious Lisp code floating around?
Borderline? It's basically a troll.
This will change when/if enough libertarians get elected. Mark my words.

Come now, that's not the only reason. Windows /3.1/ was slow on a 386, and how much RAM could you reasonably expect a 386 board to support?
and you've never heard of such men as Richard Bong or David McCampbell. Given that, your assertions about the Japanese are also suspect.
Sheesh. Next thing you'll be calling for some judicial activism, Citizen.
The only difference I've noticed so far is that Chromium doesn't have the built-in PDF viewer.
You said it. We switched to Angel from Blackboard 3-4 years ago and will be switching to something else.
OTOH the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, quite often because there's more bullshit over there.

Hey, it works for Fox News and they're rich, rich, rich!
Indeed not, but what allegedly precipitated this was the budget standoff lasting until the 11th hour.
Thank your teabaggers.
...which is only because the teabaggers (who aren't unionized) are told so, and are too unsophisticated to know when they're being had.
Another propaganda coup by Murdoch.
...and we're generous because of a no-bid contract to some rich campaign donor, right?

Yeah, it's rather like the first versions of HoTMaiL back in the mid '90s. Gets the job done, though.
That was about as predictable as the fanboys who tag stories with "thatsnomoon".

Wrong. The difference is that now engineers know how to design a car to protect its passengers from a crash, and they're more motivated to do so.
