In every connotation that I have seen, both "black power" and "white power" are used by racial supremacists. "Black Power" is not a rallying cry to defeat racism, it is just as bad a slogan as "white power". No race or creed should strive for power over another, they should strive for equality in all matters. As mcgrew stated above, there are other minority races and creeds that are also highly discriminated against, that could not get away with "muslim power" or "jew power" or "hispanic power", etc.
In order to receive HDMI through the video card, you would need specialized drivers to read input from the HDMI connection. Seeing as how difficult it is to get working open-source drivers in general for a video card, this seems extremely unlikely. Yes both input and output for HDMI are identical hardware, however the GPU is not programmed to act as input.
While I do feel bad that Opera does tons of innovation and the other browsers then take those ideas, I've never liked Opera, I just cant get used to using it. Also, bookmarks and other things are synced between machines in many browsers, however Xmarks syncs multiple browsers. For example, we like having the same shared bookmarks, but my wife tends to use Chrome while I tend to use Firefox. Xmarks fixes this for us. Also, I only want to sync some of the bookmarks from our home computer with my work computer and vice-versa. Xmarks profiles fixes this. I'm normally a cheap-ass, but I would pay to keep using Xmarks for all the benefit it gives us.
Any Citrix product has probably undergone at least 2 or 3 name changes, for example: Winframe -> Metaframe -> MetaFrame XP -> Presentation Server -> XenApp
The project and software are commonly known as OpenOffice, but this term is a trademark held by a company in the Netherlands co-founded by Wouter Hanegraaff and is also in use by Orange UK,[8] requiring the project to adopt OpenOffice.org as its formal name.
Looks like "OpenOffice" in one word is taken, so that is why they added the.org
Yes, they renamed StarOffice to Oracle Open Office. If you didn't know better, you would expect that OOo and OOO are the same thing, and that you have to pay for it. I would think if they didn't own the rights to the name "Open Office", that they could not call it "Oracle Open Office". I am not well-versed enough in trademark law to say for sure.
Why does the device have this functionality to begin with, what purpose does it serve ?
Which functionality, video recording or being flashable?
If you are talking about video recording, have you ever seen a DVR? Its purpose is to record video for playback later. Having one with HDMI input would negate the need for CableCard. However, in order to comply, the company would need to disable recording of HDCP content or even just not support HDCP at all. Users can hack that in later with a custom firmware.
If you are talking about being flashable, many devices have the ability to be updated in order to add new features or fix bugs after launch.
Easy, the "primary" use is recording video from HDMI, which is perfectly legal as long as it doesn't attempt to bypass DRM schemes like HDCP. If the device is flashable, then someone could flash the key and the device can record HDCP-protected content. As long as the company does not ever promote this ability and maybe makes a few token efforts to prevent it, they should be fine.
This agrees with both TFA and TFS, looks like a 2-door 4-passenger car. I wonder what the gas mileage is with 4 passengers though? The thing weighs 800 lbs, but with 4 160-lb(or more, this is America) people, that is nearly doubled.
Try burning the Ubuntu disk to a DVD instead of a CD, and see if it still boots. I've had drives where either the CD or the DVD portion goes bad and was able to use the other. In fact, my little server behind my desk has the opposite problem, can read DVDs but CDs fail. Vista disks are usually DVDs, never seen a CD version but it is probably possible. Try n-lite (or whatever the vista version of that is) to see if it will split the disk into multiple CDs.
Hopefully you are kidding, but just in case you are not:
Deflation is very very bad if you are in debt. It was also a huge issue during the Great Depression. A few bullet points from Wikipedia:
Effects of deflation
1. Decreasing nominal prices for goods and services.
2. Cash money and all monetary items increase in real value over time.
3. Discourages bank savings and decreases investment.
4. Enriches creditors at the expenses of debtors.
5. Benefits fixed income earners.
6. Associated with recessions and unemployment.
I worked for their tech support a couple of years back, and it is nice to see people still mention their customer service track record. I haven't heard anything about them shutting down, just dropping the graphics card division. I'll check with an old friend of mine that still worked there last I checked and see if he knows whats up.
Also, when I worked there, we were told that the lifetime warranty was the lifetime of the customer(or the company), and we didn't even bother checking receipts except for ARMAs where we would ship the RMA to the customer first with a return label for the defective part.
There is this thing, called the "Shift" key, that you hold down while typing the first letter of a sentence. It is very simple to do and vastly improves readability. Once you have mastered this, we can get into the finer points of capitalization, such as capitalizing proper nouns. I see you already have a decent grasp of punctuation and paragraphs, so I will give you some points for that.
If you are going to rant about how anyone can educate themselves to use tools such as computers properly, you should educate yourself on how to convey your thoughts in a way that people will be more willing to read.
I would bet that MS is licensing ARM for use in some sort of portable(phones and portable games) or embedded device(ATMs and kiosks), not for desktops. They are far too entrenched into Intel to switch. One of the selling points for windows is the backwards compatibility and the vast swathes of proprietary software. If they produce a Windows desktop OS for ARM, they lose all of that. They would then be playing catch-up to open-source, which has plenty of software ported to ARM and other CPU architectures.
Honest question. Does it really explain "why?", it seems creationism just moves things from "we do not know" to "we still do not know, but God does and he has a plan". Personally, I'd rather "believe"(for lack of a better term), based on all evidence presented to me, that there is no "why".
Maybe as a voluntary class in high school, but in elementary schools they should not be wasting time on mythology. Classes are too short and too focused on standardized testing as it is.
Swing and a miss. This thread is quite obviously discussing large corporations running windows 2000 on its workstations. These boxes will no longer receive security updates. I don't care where they move to(linux, mac, or update windows), but they should get off that sinking ship.

To throw a few more on the fire:

Tigerdirect stores -> CompUSA (horrible choice IMO)

Not a Canadian, but maybe "civil" is similar to "misdemeanor" in Canadian law? I don't think he meant it in the context of a civil suit.
