More likely the SXs were mostly the ones that came out with broken floating point units. Weren't some of the early L2 cacheless Celerons just Pentium IIs with a broken/disabled L2 cache?
He just said "almost all". Stand behind a running 2000 model year car, basically you will not smell anything, except for some while it's warming up. And you can't smell carbon monoxide anyway. The smell of auto exhaust is mostly (if not entirely) from the hydrocarbons, which are highly controlled in newer cars.
Now, some of those beat-up, crappy-running junkers that are wandering the streets, the exhaust from some of those things can make your eyes water. Rather than going after that last 0.01% of emissions that the brand new cars make, getting those old pigs off the road makes much more sense, IMHO..
Well, a small correction, it isn't inert under very high temperatures (like in an engine's combustion chamber), which is why the exhaust contains nitrogen oxides, which I believe are thought to deplete the ozone layer, incidentally.
That would be because the company that builds US submarines is called the Electric Boat Company, a division of General Dynamics. (Yes, I read too much Tom Clancy..)
It would have probably worked better if they used that fluorocarbon liquid stuff that somebody else used. Because it's nonconducting, you can immerse the components right into the liquid without having to worry about the insulating bag.
Doom runs fine at a DOS shell in Windows. That's what DOS4GW's job is, partially, to interface with the OS (or EMM386, if you're in raw DOS) using DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface).
If "Show friendly HTTP error messages" is turned off, then it only shows that "The page cannot be displayed" if it can't get a connection to the server for some reason (like being slashdotted or whatever). If it does get some error message it spits it out as usual.
I don't think cell phone towers have the capability of aiming their transmissions toward the phone in question. They probably just broadcast the same signal in all directions. However the antenna is probably designed to transmit most of the signal horizontally instead of vertically, beaming the signal into the sky would be a waste of power.
Unless it is a super-ultra-cheap CD player, I don't think the digital noise will get into the audio. They have digital and analog filters on the output to keep it out. If they use oversampling it'll be way over the audible frequency range anyway.
However, as with any digital device, a CD player can emit radio interference - although this is somewhat restricted by FCC regulations..
I believe that what you're referring to there applies only to stuff like garage door openers and radio control cars, i.e. stuff that doesn't require a license to operate. I think they call that the "no interference/no protection" policy. Basically if the FCC finds it's interfering with some other licensed radio service they can make you stop using it. I doubt that aircraft radio equipment falls into this category.
All the cable modems and DSL modems I've seen or heard about have the Ethernet port already "crossed over" internally since they're almost always directly connected, you only need a regular CAT5 patch cord. That's why if you connect it to a hub you have to use the uplink port on the hub.
Macrovision is hardly gone, they just got some of the kinks out of it. Every VCR, in order to get the VHS logo license from JVC, has to refuse to record a Macrovision-encoded signal properly. (Apparently some older VCRs didn't seem to mind the signal and would allow you to copy the tape OK.) As well, the design of TVs has changed so that they are more tolerant of the Macrovision signal.
Try to copy a commercial movie tape and you'll still probably get the flashing colors and distortions from Macrovision.
I don't know about American debit cards (Visa Check Card, etc.) but with the Interac system in Canada,
"Furthermore cardholders are protected by the Canadian Code of Practice for Debit Card Services that assures that confirmed victims of proven fraudulent activity will not suffer losses."
Uh, the IE5 downloader is NOT 5 or 6 MB, more like 500 K. And it doesn't have to be installed, nor do you have to reboot after downloading the installer. And you can make it download the files to a directory instead of installing it, so that you can move it to another computer or burn it to a CD or whatever. I've been using IE since version 2.0, I believe, and I don't think I've ever had any significant problems with it. I started using it after Netscape's constant crashing made me go look for an alternative, and I came across this newfangled thing on Microsoft's site called Internet Explorer. Sure, it didn't support frames but at least it didn't crash. I certainly wish that Microsoft would port a version of IE to Linux. Netscape is just too darn slow - and I've even had it crash a few times even under Linux.

Doesn't Hotmail use the RBL?

Um, are you forgetting what probably makes the power to recharge the batteries?

That'd have to be pretty small. Even a tiny paint flake moving at those speeds can cause major damage.

75 degrees C? What kind of heatsink are you using on that thing?

Modern Intel CPUs are all multipler locked. You cannot change the multiplier from what's burned into it at the factory.
They did use methylated spirits, according to the article..
I believe Intel has come up with a way to flash the BIOS on their newer motherboards from within Windows..

I think it was used as a controller in a ton of 3Com/USRobotics modems as well.
Actually I think it was passport.com they forgot to renew..

Canadian Tire is a monopoly? I do NOT think so! They don't sell anything that you can't buy in at least 5 other stores even here in Saskatoon.

www.microsoft.com doesn't respond to ping requests. Probably to protect against ping flood DoS attacks.
