The Google Earth feature was for satellite imagery. This new feature is for Street View images. Sadly it won't be of much use around here as the original 2007 photos are the latest available in many areas! I guess they are trying to give people an excuse to switch to the mostly broken new Google Maps interface.
The rental market is a bit distorted is many areas at the moment due to people not being able to get a mortgage (still). Locally I have seen rents in the $1200-1500 range for a one bedroom here in Northern NJ, no wheres near NYC or a commuter rail line (those go in the $2000 range). That is quite high for this area considering there is no shortage of housing. Looking at the pricing of two-three bedrooms, you might as well buy a house as the mortgage payment will be lower or about the same each month.
For public works projects, it was the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1970. That is where the requirement of environmental impact statements and permitting came from.
Use an ei.cfg to bypass the product key entry OR seek out the "generic install keys". It'll let you get Windows 8.1 installed (if you can, grab the ISOs with Update 1 already integrated), afterwards you can change the key to your Media Center key using slmgr and activate Windows. Still don't know why MS didn't bother to make Windows 8 keys universal with 8.1 images, its really annoying.
A clean install of the OS is usually needed anyway. I haven't trusted upgrade installs for quite a long time. There are usually problems that can be hard to fix afterwards, plus all the cruft from an old Windows install that can slow the machine down.
You could find it for as low as $15. MS ran a "step up" promo for folks who bought a new machine with 7. The form wasn't too picky about what was considered a "new PC".
I keep hearing about how people need ISA slots to run these irreplaceable industrial control ISA cards. Have they considered what they are going to do when the ISA card decides to die?
XP still wants a floppy disk for drivers needed during install, it was developed in another time, the world has moved on.
Microsoft fixed this in XP based Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. They used WinPE to give it a graphical setup program like Vista/7/8 and allow storage drivers to be installed from CD/USB. Whats sad is that they could have ditched that text based setup program (that dates back to NT 3.1) way back in 2001 for WinPE.
How often did they migrate before XP came out? Many offices jumped from NT4 to 2000 to XP in a fairly short period of time. Many places also upgraded from 3.1 to 95 to 98 in a short period of time. In both of those cases, it likely involved hardware replacement too.
Philips just updated their 60w replacement again. Now it outputs 880lm vs. 830lm the older 2013 model produced. They switched away from the remote phosphor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
The L-Prize bulbs were nice, but its obvious the market balked at the price.
NES emulation was no problem even on a low end Pentium II. Baytrail isn't 15 year old computer slow. The new crop of tablets equipped with it are actually quite speedy for what they have to do and appear to be selling quite well.
The wireless gateway would have to implement T.38 to support fax machines. Most alarms have already switched to wireless, so that shouldn't be a problem (dry pair isn't an option with many FTTH installs either).
XP Embedded 2009 is supported until 2019. I have POSReady 2009 installed in a VM to see if it gets updates post April. Wouldn't be surprised if folks figure out a way to get the patches working on retail XP.
NJ dropped safety inspections in 2010, its now emissions only. They found that the safety inspections weren't all that effective in improving the actual safety of the cars on the road. Road salt is effective at taking older cars off of the roads here more so than any inspection.
Dealers did this to get around CARB restrictions on the sale of diesel cars that didn't meet Tier II Bin 5 emissions limits. They would scour auctions across the country for diesel cars that had around 7500 miles on them (the minimum to exempt the car from CARB requirements) and resell them at a hefty markup.

How about the Raspberry Pi as an Apple II "peripheral"? https://ultimateapple2.com/cat...

Scary that someone finds Outlook Express irreplaceable. I bet there are some Schedule+ junkies out there too for some reason.
There are always the sub-$100 ChinaBay specials. Plenty of Willem clones out there too that work under Windows 7.

Part of the problem is some devices that offer dynamic DNS updaters (routers in particular) only support the DynDNS service.

The joke is likely on them for paying. Microsoft was going to patch XP until 2019 anyway via extended support for Windows Embedded 2009.

IMAP + real e-mail client fixes this.

It has UEFI, so it should boot Windows x64 without a problem.
On top of that it is a "passive" optical network (at least Verizon's is), so no powered equipment in the neighborhood to worry about maintaining.

Apple did have consumer direct sales via mail/phone for a short period in the early 90s via "The Apple Catalog".
