This is the best description I have read regarding the Network Admin position.
When I started as an admin 5 years ago, the company didn't know to care about redundancy, or security. When I started, neither did I. I could build PCs, do some light programming, and had a knack for finding solutions with Google. In that time, I've replaced all network hardware and fixed the topology, expanded from 6 to 20 servers, added virtualization wherever possible, added battery backup to everything (many servers didn't have any UPS), replaced 100 windows 2000 desktops, added 100 more desktops, upgraded the domain from 2000 to 2008, Exchange upgrades twice, migrated all storage to redundant RAID on server or via NAS, maintained DAILY tape backups of all servers, network monitoring via free Linux tools, expanded the network via T1 to include 7 satellite facilities and WAPs with VPN/firewall, and locked down every damned machine so that nobody can install anything. All while providing these people and locations with 24/7 tech support and software instruction. Monitoring scripts are all Perl and PowerShell, depending on OS. All of our network hardware is either Adtran or 3Com (now HP) and I've only had one switch failure in 5 years. No training seminars or certification taken, just lots of reading.
I knew when GT5 was announced that it was the only reason I'd have to buy a PS3. I bought one about 3 days before they announced the most recent delay.
Why don't we have this option with credit companies? I don't care for them to make money off of my personal information either. I'm certainly not getting any dividend from it.
The GBC uses a Sharp CPU similar to a Z80, but not quite the same. The one in the GBC is extremely fast. So fast, in fact, that once Windows finishes booting, we'll still have time to get drinks and salads and Milliways before the Big Show.
There is a hashtable of GameBoy Mono games which are recognized by the GameBoy Color, and it applies a preset color scheme that Nintendo chose to make the game stand out better. Metroid II is a perfect example of this coloring.
All of these GBC colored B&W games are run in plain B&W mode, even if they have Super GameBoy features, as the GBC is not a Super GameBoy and doesn't have the same features.
There is a disassembled source file to the GBC Boot ROM linked on the dumper's website, with most of it commented and disassembled. (Except the game recognition hashing part, which is still being analyzed)
The gameboy color decapping attempts in 2005 (after the mono was successfully decapped) was a failure because the decapping was done by a student with little experience. I sacrificed a couple gbc units for that effort and one unit for a professional decap/bit stain which cost too much so it never happened. This glitching hack was discussed for many years before someone got the right idea. This RE effort has rewarded us with info about hidden hardware registers that only the boot ROM uses.
There is a mod that can allow a GB access to an IDE device such as a hard drive, so technically, yes, it could run Win 7 in a super-slow-as-fuck emulation.
For those of you who actually would like to KNOW what the boot ROM does, there is a link ON THE PAGE to a work-in-progress commented disassembly of the entire ROM, as has been previously been done with the GameBoy Mono and Super GameBoy.

Engadget's servers have been raped. I'm getting nothing but unavailable messages.
BS! I turned my g/f into the SQL programmer so I wouldn't have to deal with that server! Now I just need to find more g/fs for the other functions...

It pays shit, but its steady.
FML.
Acoustically coupled modems.
I'm not sure if I should be shocked, or if I should be ordering...

Well, the article says "10 weeks", so the poster obviously miffed that part.

It's not the size of your dish, its what you stick it in... er, point it at.
I think someone in China would actually have to BUY a copy of Windows first...
