    You need to have someone check if the antenna cable is properly plugged in, and that the antennas are in their proper positions (some of the tiBooks had problems with them getting loose).

    Memorystick is one of the bigger clusterfarks there is.

    Actually, they have DVI-I which is DVI and VGA on the same connector.

    Not to be confused with DVI-D, which is digital only, or DVI-A which is VGA only (Gah! Good thing that isn't official spec.)

    You can go from a DVI-I output to an ADC display with a $30, and that can work on Wintel machines.

    ...at least when running the spiffo graphics. (for some reason, the mac used *much* less cpu for that)

    They were about neck-and-neck without the spiffo graphics, although the mac seemed slightly faster.
    (Hard to tell, since they were different clockspeeds *and*
    datasets.) Averages here...

    This is on P2 and P3 chips. The Celerons were 3-5 times slower because it couldn't keep the data in cache.

    Keep in mind that Seti@Home doesn't use Altivec or MMX.

    Actually, the Mono Turbos were faster, but only because they only had to deal with 2-bit grayscale instead of 16-bit color.

    The styling is better too. (no separate soundbox)

  24. Sure it is. on Speakeasy Introduces Broadband WiFi Sharing Plan · · Score: 1

    Buying a second expensive home keeps homebuilders employed. It keeps third world factories busy churning out electrical outlets and network cabling. It keeps people fed.

    Buying stuff keeps the world from starving.

    If you want to see the effects of knee-jerk "you shouldn't have that" liberalism, just take a look at what the ~1990 "Luxury Tax" did to the American boat-building industry. Taxes and communist attitudes _NEVER_ increase quality of life.

    Being responsible is buying stuff so someone else can make a living.

  25. Memory is 16 bit, screen is 12 bit on Palm Ships With 12-bit Screen, Says 16-Bit On Box · · Score: 1

    If it factors to 31*31*61:

    dithering a 4-bit (16 value) field would get 31 values.
    The neighbor of each pixel would either be the same value, or the next
    highest value, except if it was the max value, so (2^x)*2-1.

    That's fine for the 31, but doesn't explain the 61.

    Now, what if for the 61, they were alternating two 31-value(4 bit dithered)
    fields? That's 31+31-1 or 61. Bingo. Probably green.

    So, the M130 _does_ have 16-bit color. R(4bit)+G(4bit)+G(4bit)+B(4bit) most
    likely. The _screen_ on the other hand may only have a 4-bit datapath to
    each element R(4bit)+G(4bit)+B(4bit)=12 bits.

    What do you think sirs?
