Because if they give you the 75 cents then you can give them a round €8 change, rather than €7.25. Most people find round numbers easier to deal with.
Frankly that's the kind of basic mathematics they should be ensuring that people can do, most people will not have to do differential equations, differentiation or any of the multitude of things they try and teach to everyone (although I will admit they don't try and teach calculus to everyone in the UK - they teach it at A Level).
Aye, Dune 2 has fantastic music. I just wish I could get hold of the updated config program Westwood released though, the one which let you select a sound card for the digital sounds and the MT-32 for music; I have the original version of the game which only let you do one or the other, but not both.
At least we won't need to daisy chain the card with the graphics card, like you did with the original Voodoo Graphics PCI. Never did work properly on my system, I ended up just unplugging the monitor and plugging it directly in to the Voodoo when I was using it.
MT-32 emulation is a tricky subject, partly because users need to have their own legitimate copies of the MT-32 ROM and also because it actually takes quite a bit of processing power to emulate one.
I just have a real MT-32:) I love playing old Sierra games in DOSBox with the MT-32 hooked up; they all sound so much better.
I could easily believe $1000 per system from Dell, if you want a useful system. I think the cheapest workstation you can get from Dell UK is about £150, but as it stands, it's next to useless for anyone other than call centre staff: it only has 1GB of RAM, a 160 GB HDD and doesn't have a monitor included in the price.
It doesn't take much to make it get up to £500.
Really it depends on what they're using their systems for.
Except he'll never pay the fine in total. At most they'll get the value of his liquefied assets once he's been declared bankrupt - or a portion of them. Eventually the courts will just rule there's no hope of recovering any further value from him and write the fine off. They may reappraise that if, at some point in the future, he actually becomes worth something; the UK a woman managed to get more money out of her ex-husband after he'd be declared bankrupt because he won the lottery.
Cheap here is, of course, relative:) The RED body on its own is $17.5k, iirc. Not cheap by most people's definition, but certainly cheap by industry standards.
I wish I had the skill - and money - to justify buying one.
I'm not sure this is really ground breaking or startling. A DBA I worked with pointed out that the vast majority of data in a database is written and never read - something you have to take in to account when deciding whether or not to place an index on a table (they slow down the speed of your inserts). It doesn't take much effort to extrapolate that to include any form of data.
Most of the data we store on disk at work is never read, it just sits there taking up space. If we actually thought about it we could put in place a mechanism to move it to an offline storage mechanism of some variety.

National Rail have had an app on the iTunes store for ages and yes, it's pay-for.

I'm just glad they failed safe, to be honest.

Has to be said I have met new people in my town via the likes of Facebook and Twitter, one less than 5 minutes walk from my house.
The same way any filter of that kind does, interpolation based on the surrounding pixels. It's the video equivalent of Adobe's filter in Photoshop 5.

There are adverts on there?
Sentences almost always run concurrently.
I got the joke even if no-one else did. I'd mod you up if I had mod points.
I had great fun with the balls that reacted to your mouse cursor. Made a boring day a little more interesting.
I use NETELLER for times I need to use a card to buy stuff on the net, which is usually when they don't accept PayPal.
I read BBC News and The Guardian. I'm not a great fan of the new BBC News site though.
Well, I agree with you as a convenience anyway. The actual plural is "LEGO bricks".
I agree with you with regards to the plural, however it's written as "LEGO", as that's their trademark, the name of the company is "The LEGO Group".
Maybe they figure it can only get better?
I think you were probably better off just buying the comic of the storyline for the first game...
The codec will be H.264 using the HiP profile, the same as their normal content.

Mine didn't, played several of them fine.
Baraka - the BluRay release mastered from the 8K scan of the original Todd-AO film is the most stunning thing I've ever seen.

If they hadn't been bank rolling the IRA as well it would have been nice. Most of the IRA's funding came from the US.
