Heck, just keep them away from life. They are going and saying that the two of oldest activities of all life (sex and killing) are bad. The only other staple I can think of is eating. (Of which the excretion part is already taboo)
Actually, Opera (9.0b, and I assume earlier) support the drag and drop mode too (assuming of course the image isn't a link. If it is, it saves a short cut to the link)
The problem is though, we only have two samples. For all we know 470 MHz could BE the median speed! Or for that matter, who says that they intentionally picked that part? They might just have reached into a bag and pulled that out at random.
Even if they did picked a fast part intentionally, I'd say that's less underhanded then the companies that put out ads themselves (as opposed to a third party doing it for "free" (technically in exchange for the hardware)) and intentionally put non-typical stats in big bold print, and "Results not typical" down in the bottom in illegible font. (Thinking weight loss ads here)
Umm.. The Mfg is not claiming the memory runs at 470Mhz. They are only are only claiming that it runs at 333Mhz. It's Tom's Hardware, and the OCers that are assuming that because TH was able to get one part to run 41% higher then spec, that all such parts will do the same. There is nothing wrong with the part only running 421Mhz, heck even if it only runs 340Mhz, there is no false advertising going on. The part operates at the condtions GeIL sells it for: 333Mhz.
The reason the poster mentioned arrest, was because he was suggesting hitting the bully upside the head with a baseball bat. That is a bit more severe then a simple fistfight, and could be considered assault (and that isn't new or related to the "Wussification of America")
No, you have it backwards. The parent was claiming that we are only making 49% of what we COULD make, (which is >100% of what we actually need.) Mind you as several others have pointed out, there are some problems with his input numbers, but we still do have some room (though not alot) to grow
So, instead of just the store lying, Levis creates meaningless distinctions bettween two otherwise identical products, to allow the stores accomplish the same thing.
Actually, I'd imagine it could contain a heck of a lot more than 16 bytes of information. First off, 128 pixels, (assuming only on and off) IS 16 bytes of info. Secondly, the article is refering to 2d bar codes, which if you used a full 128x128 screen (Yes, I realize many screens are smaller), which would give you a whole 2k of data on the screen. Now even once if you were to allow for smaller screens, and other overhead (alignment perhaps) 16 bytes is very reasonable.
Money. Disney hasn't given enough bribes/campaign donations to the Goverment to accomplish this. They (the gov't) are simply being nice and leaving the possibility open to money being given to future members (Share the wealth).
The thing is, that they did provide standard calculators! The problem was that the standard calculators had extra features that they did not want the students to have.
Oddly enough, OCD style handwashing and overmedicating, might tend to be counter productive in the long run. It's forcing diseases to be stronger and more resiliant to our methods of countering them. The only question is, how long will we be able to keep coming up with new methods of fighting disease, before one wins?
In the US, receiving calls is treated exactly like sending them on cell phones. Part of the reason is that it is completly impossible to tell cellphone apart from regular phones. Especially now, since you can actually "port" your land line number to your cell phone.
It's rather hard to get broadcast television without a antenna. And considering this entire topic is about the change over of broadcast signals from analog to digital, I'd say antennas are quite relevant.
You just caused me to picture a bit on a drive saying "I've fallen, and i can't get up!" Now someone needs to invent medialert braclets for you harddrive...
So, what the heck is the purpose of saying some card has 200FPS in some game or another, when your monitor, or even the card, can't actually display that high of a rate?
The thing I never understood is why the benchmark companies actually rely on the number returned from the gfx drivers. Why not hook a o-scope up to the video output and truely see what the FPS is? That is the only way to get a valid measurement of that value. Now, they could optimize for the particular test you are running, but you could just make the test comprehensive enough, that to do so would require the entire card to be improved. (Which would be a good thing for all)

Ahh.. So, given the current political debate on immigration, this just might be what they intend.

Mac users are some mighty strange people. I prefer to turn my computer off BEFORE system upgrades...

Scrolling with the test also has a bug, but your point still stands..

Hmm.. so does that mean if you live in the 6.5% county, and shop in the 7% county, you can demand money back?

But you must remember, shortly before it had been listed as "Harmless", so it's getting worse!
