my *spectrum* can do AA in software!)
Just to be really picky, you cannot do AA on a spectrum, the video system only allows two colours per character position.
This judge is just as clueless as the rest. Why should Delete on a file work differently from delete on text?, and if I delete some text by mistake I really want to be able to get it back, same with files.
3 : something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example 4 : something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality
While not wishing to support the way the UK is currently goverened, the English govenment passed a Bill of Rights over 300 years ago. Also the English constitution is unwritten, not non-existant (but this makes little difference in practice).
Well, strictly speaking, it illegal to sell or rent DVDs that have not been passed by the censor. It is still legal to import DVDs for personal use yourself (been there, done that). And that particular rule is not exactly well enforced.
This all assumes that you are talking about the UK, how region cetric of me:)
OK, no USians rants, BUT, football (rugby) fans do not kill each other, thats football (soccer). My main problem with calling football (US) football, is that it only involves hitting the ball with the foot about 10 times in the entire game, but then again handball is already used, so what ya gona do?
They need an installed base to get NGWS off the ground, and they weren't getting it (contrary to US popular opinion, the M$ user-base remains relatively small outside the US).
Well, in the UK MS has just about got the entire market. Since I left IBM I don't think I have seen a PC running a non MS OS. MS also have a huge wedge of the market in Asia, it's just all pir^H^H^H unauthorised.
big deal. i think the xbox is going to take a dump, other than the keyboard i use i know of no MS hardware that is a comm'l success
How about mice and joypads? MS has a rather better record in hardware than software i.e. they take less than 3 attempts to turn it into something usable. I just wish that funky new mouse came in a left handed version.
If I can't see the source, what proof do I have that it matches the spec? Well, you could always test the binary against the spec (which you should do EVEN when you have the source).
BMW, Daimler, and Porsche got their start "employing" slave labor contracted from the Nazi concentration camps Both BMW and Daimler pre-date the camps by rather a long way. To a socialist, it probably just seems like "utilizing" "resources". To hell with the rights of the individual, the socialist says! Sacrifice him for the benefit of the collective! To hell with the rights of the individual, the capitalist says! Sacrifice him for the profit of the company.
Naaa, X-box is supposed to have an nVidia NV25, thats another generation and a half after the geforce2 (NV15). You might, however, still be right about the success of the X-box.
I am used to eating low-fat foods in the US, but I am unable to find anything with a low-fat label in British grocery stores. Where do you shop? I find it impossible to go into a UK supermarket without being overwelmed by 9X% Fat Free crap.
If YOU and the music industry want to maintain the idea that the people making this music are creating a commodity, that you CANNOT use the term "artist" anymore. That has an entirely different connotation. So you are saying that ANYTHING that somebody pays money for CANNOT be art? Well, I guess thats telling all those painters, composers, actors etc.

Its per household with a TV, not per TV. i.e. I did not have to get another license when I got a TV card for my PC.
I doubt many Universities would like to pay the running costs, whici IIFC are in the order of millions of $ per month.
IIRC Atari was split in two before the ST was produced. Midway got the name for arcade use, and Jack Tramiel (sp?) got the home computer part.
The VAX promise: Obsolete early, obsolete often.
Rather an odd statement given that the only hardware designs to outlive the VAX are big iron mainframes.
I think RIMMs have a 'heat spreader' already.
The problem with keeping multiple pages open is that it increases power consumption. Keep too many open and you can fry the chips.
At least some made it to the UK as well, not seen one for a while now tho'
3 : something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example
4 : something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality
I guess they went with 3 rather than 4.
The UK does have a Bill of Rights, its just very very very out of date.
At least in the U.S. there is some understanding that parts of the Internet are out of control of the country's government.
Except for their attempts to ban betting on the net.

Well, from a legal point of view, TSB bought out Lloyds, so your data was not transfered. Also, it happened a lot more than a year ago.

In which case squatters rights apply. I think you need to live somewhere for about 15 years without the owner trying to remove you to claim it.
The idea of a Linux email worm is so interesting that I'm tempted to write one. Must... stay... good... :).
The odd thing is the Unix lead the way here as well, do a search on 'Great Internet Worm'.
