A kilowatt is 3,600,000 joules, 10 kilowatts in respect is 36,000,000.
No. Joules are energy units; watts are power units. Power refers to the rate of change of energy. A kilowatt is a kilojoule per second. A kilowatt-hour (common unit of household electrical energy consumption) is 3.6 MJ. By comparison, a kilocalorie (the dietary Calorie) equals 4184 J.
Does NOT support Ctrl+W, IE's and Mozilla's shortcut to close a browser window on Windows. (Mac uses Cmd+W.) It also doesn't support double-clicking the window's system menu (the little IE icon). Therefore, it's not very realistic.
Often, this is because of a misconfigured web server installation that doesn't recognize the.zip extension and send the application/zip media type. It may send the older media type application/x-zip-compressed or the generic application/octet-stream; Windows doesn't find an association for either of those types.
On the other hand, IE will sometimes ignore the media type and use the file's extension instead. This is part of what led to the <iframe> vulnerability, which Nimda and Klez exploited
With "The task bar", every window has a tab.
Now what is the use of having these tabs in a bar in the browser window, instead of having them in "The task bar" hmmm ?
Under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition, each window uses a fair chunk of "system resources", Microsoft's name for the user.exe and gdi.exe heaps, each of which is 64 kilobytes in size, a limitation inherited from Windows 3.x, and cannot be expanded within Windows 9x no matter how much physical RAM you have. Browsers with a tabbed interface will typically use less system resources per open page than browsers with a multiple window interface. Windows NT, on the other hand, allows the heaps to grow for win32 apps and runs win3.1 apps in a separate virtual machine.
Another advantage of tabbed browsing is that a user can group tabs by task. For instance, I typically have several Slashdot pages open (pages from slashdot.org, as well as pages from web sites that I use for research for comments) in one window, with other things going on in other windows.
That's mostly because AOL Time Warner keeps blocking known public Jabber gateways' IP addresses. You can run your own gateway on your own computer, you know.
But how much of that 3,860 kilobytes is in the user.exe and gdi.exe heaps (commonly called "system resources"), each of which is limited to 64 KB on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME? Last time I checked, I found that running both AIM and MSN takes less "system resources" than running Trillian or any of the Jabber clients I can see.
Don't Superman's powers come from Earth's yellow sun? In that case, would it be possible to diminish Superman's powers with an attack analogous to the attacks against Birdman (before he became an attorney)?
Just a fancy high-tech suit that's not as powerful as Luthor's robots.
But both Batmen have above-average reasoning power.
Even so, it's still out of my price range (but possibly not yours). Unless you're trying to build a multiple-platform compile and test farm, why buy a $550 CPU and motherboard for the PPC architecture, a $50 case, a hard drive, a keyboard, a mouse, and a CD-ROM drive instead of an x86 based total package for $200?
all the trouble web designers are going through making special cases for the amounts of browser/version combinations.
What about the difference between IE's box model (a box's width is outside its border) and CSS's (a box's width is inside its padding)? Is box-within-box the accepted model?
figure out if any DHTML techniques have become standards.
DHTML means manipulation of the HTML DOM through ECMAScript. The HTML DOM is a W3C Recommendation, and ECMAScript is a European international standard.
They had a lot of problems to put Batman in Justice League of America, because he doesn't have any super powers
The new Batman definitely has much more agility than the average human being; that alone makes him hero material. He can even fly. Add gadgets from Q^HWayne Enterprises, and how isn't Batman a superhero?
This desire to see bloodshed between our heroes is obviously human nature, take the popularity of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch.
Or of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I'm just waiting for Super Smash Bros. 3: Nintendo vs Sega, or Nintendo vs Capcom, or (better yet) Nintendo vs Disney. Mario could tear apart Mickey Mouse, but I'm not all too sure Kinopio could beat Pinocchio.
Your TV doesn't care what the resolution of the input is, as long as the Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are correct.
And for some consoles, especially those produced before the Dreamcast that run in low resolution, the video frequencies are off by a bit.
Um, games consoles don't output Macrovision when they're playing games !
I'll admit that was a bit of a red herring, but the Xbox with the DVD kit installed does output Macrovision when playing a DVD movie with the Macrovision bit set.
If you can't afford a decent TV, then you sure as hell can't afford a $200 Games Console, with $40 each games !!
Tell that to my folks, who initially let me use my NES only on an old throwaway black-and-white TV. Back then, I was 9 years old, and I couldn't even afford the NES (it was a Christmas present).
If the code is all new, why not use a new codec name?
It already is a new codec name; "DivX 5" isn't the same codec as "DivX 3.11". "RealAudio G2" isn't the same codec as "RealAudio". "MPEG audio layer 3" isn't the same codec as "MPEG audio layer 2".
If you're REALLY serious about devloping on a GBA, or any other console, you NEED to get licensed to do it, or join a company who already is.
Under the no-homebrew-allowed-not-even-non-commercially scenario that some posters in this discussion have postulated, I have to be with a licensed publisher to get GBA experience, but even with a B.S. in computer science (due in May 2003), I apparently need experience to get a job with a licensed publisher. Where do I start?

Everything that comes out needs to have money exchange hands.
Even if I'm willing to pay Nintendo to manufacture my carts, where do I sign up?
Any game you write yourself needs to be licensed through Nintendo/SOny/Whoever.
What law? What court precedent? A simple header check like the one in the GBA is Sega v. Accolade, judgment for the independent publisher.
If they allowed people to just simply write their own software for a hobby, the software library would grow so huge no one would bother buying any games in the stores, and Nintendo would go out of business.
Microsoft allows people to just simply write their own Windows applications for a hobby. People still buy Warcraft 3 and MOHAA in the stores. Does Microsoft go out of business?
Besides, if Nintendo requires all developers to work with licensed publishers, then how is a developer supposed to train himself or herself and get the critical "GBA experience" that publishers require on a résumé?
I'm sorry. I love Nintendo and all, but there's no constitutional right to a business model.

Then we could use the laser to heat up one side of the asteroid... and make it land on our enemies!
Or split it into two smaller rocks... which both land on our enemies!

I've got no interest in turning my gamemachine into a typewriter/calculator/browser.
Why would a fellow want to even try to turn a roughly cubic gamemachine into a Web terminal? I can see programming a 32-bit handheld with 10 buttons to act as a simple calculator, but a typewriter?
or are you just talking about Wintendo?
consolodation of redundant systems is always worthwhile.
Not always. Too much consolidation introduces a Single Point Of Failure(tm).
but the gateways are unreliable
That's mostly because AOL Time Warner keeps blocking known public Jabber gateways' IP addresses. You can run your own gateway on your own computer, you know.
Does this mean they'll be adding ICQ functionality to AIM, such as being able to message/recieve messages while i'm not online
AIM already does this, for $15 a month extra. It's called an America Online account.
Memory usage (for me, at least): 3,860k
But how much of that 3,860 kilobytes is in the user.exe and gdi.exe heaps (commonly called "system resources"), each of which is limited to 64 KB on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME?

I think that [$550 motherboard] includes the CPU.
Even so, it's still out of my price range (but possibly not yours).

The only question is when or if [Apple] are going to release [Mac OS for x86].
There's already Carbon (the updated Mac Toolbox) for Windows, as part of QuickTime for Windows, and other apps can link to it.

but surely if you want a PC-based UNIX you'd go for some BSD flavour
Darwin is a BSD flavour. A long time ago, the BSD source forked; on one side, we have FreeBSD and Darwin, and on the other, NetBSD and OpenBSD.
(I could be wrong; corrections are appreciated.)
I legally cannot start to sell my own WinXP clone compiled from original source code
Lindows seems to be doing a good job of it because the Lindows source code is original and not a derivative of Microsoft Windows source code.

And why do you need to hack an XBOX to do all that?
To save $200.
A $200 Xbox, a $90 modchip, and a $10 copy of Linux costs $300.
A $200 Xbox, a $200 PC, a $10 copy of Linux, and a $90 VGA to TV converter costs $500.
