you call it lazy, I call it more efficient, they were going to track the dude no matter what, and its perfectly legal to tail them, instead of having a gang of agents all on the clock driving around the city in government transportation they let a computer device do it for them
The only machine I have still running XP is my craptop... While its no spring chicken its still a 2.4GHz pentium 4 with a gig of ram, the 5 or 6 times a year I use it, it does the job just fine... browsing the web, watching goofy youtube videos, acting as a internet gateway to my mac SE
I would love to toss windows 7 on it, BUT it has a old ATI Radieon Mobile in it, which is not DirectX 9 compatible, which is a deal breaker. So... XP it is (though its dual boot with mint 11)
Sad thing is, I know it would run it fine, I have had 7 on a 1.6GHz Atom, my dad has it on his 2.25Ghz Athlon XP, and they both have no issue (well the atom kind of sucked) even with the dumb shit transparency and ghost effects turned on.
K6's were some durn flexible chips, my favorite thing was to under-clock them, some poor sap would walk in with a pentium and pocket lint to spend, heck yea I will take this used K6/2 400, clip a pin (if the target was socket 5) clock that fucker at 366, charge them a song and a dance and get called a hero for (sometimes) tripling their speed, and making a customer. (also being honest and telling them the bullshit I was about to pull helped as well)
Its amusing that the only time I hear this is from someone on the other side
Yea sure, red candidates can forget one of their three major campaign points, and that is ok, they are just human... Obama on the other hand misses a button on his coat and its the fucking focus of his incompetency on Fox New Radio for a week
for shit I (and many others) dont care about, if we did we would have clicked the links at the top of the page, we are not stupid or blind but thanks for thinking we are
I was polite the first time I responded to you, the second time I just thought you were being a douche, now I know your a worthless fucking troll too stupid to even use google
and no I did not expect support forever, but I didnt expect the thing to be fucking worthless 2 os updates later due to a sneaky bullshit trick on a very expensive workstation
please pull your head out of your ass before speaking, if you dont all that happens is shit comes out of your mouth
well may I share an apple story? I own a powermac 9600/300, terribly expensive computer for its time (over 7 grand new) one day apple came out with a new operating system called OS9 and its not the worst OS apple has ever released it quickly became surpassed by OS9.2
OS9.0x was about as useful as system 7, if you wanted anything new it was 9.2 or nothing... Video drivers for your new card, 9.2? New game 9.2, new compression utility 9.2, but my 9600 was unable to run OS9.2...
You know what made a 7 grand workstation into a dinosaur? Apple's control, they swapped 2 bytes in the installer so that machines with a older rom would fail the system check
Naturally apple suggested I toss this perfectly good machine in the dumpster and buy a whole new and improved model (which had darn near identical specs), Their control was nothing about the user experience (it still runs a patched version of 9.22 and OSX just fine, and fairly snappy) it was all about selling me a new machine whenever THEY thought I should have one.
I saw "printer on fire" the other day on my linux power pc (after installing a pci parallel port card)...
the thing is unless you want to fuck over X decades of the way shit was done your going to have old things pop up, like it or not that is the beat of the drum or else you end up with a trillion incompatible systems reminiscent of the early 1980's cheap home computer syndrome.
Which if your not old enough to remember... just the simple ability to transfer ascii text files from platform to another was a headache

its "green" law enforcement (har har)
unclear does not mean one way or the other, until then its the decision of the local law

Oh well, your loss MS
The woman in the video is clearly normal minus the use of her limbs, in fact it says
"User Tamara Mena, who was paralyzed in 2005, gleefully puts her exoskeleton walking suit through its paces."
So why did they choose the pose that makes her look "1 drool spot and a birthday hat" away from full blown retarded?
I have had 5 of these things, every single one of them had an app store and mobile internet as an option
"Feature phone" owners in the United States typically do not FORCE YOU TO have data plans and do not REQUIRE YOU TO use the Internet.
There, fixed that for you.
I hate it when I am benching my mongo and it locks its yeild, quite painful =O

yea its a lot less impressive when its using a metric ton of open GL and directX
kills its value, and I am glad I am not the only one calling it a fart pipe
I never claimed anything about lying
before you get on your high horse maybe you should figure out what the difference between lying and being wrong actually is
you got the point of my post wrong, using your logic you must be a fucking lair

do us all a favor and go fuck yourself
"How likely would I be to actually get a job writing code?"
Here is a hint, drop engineer from your titles ... if you plunge the john are you now a waste management engineer?
There are tons of places where arbitrarily adding engineer to the end of whatever BS title you give yourself is a major turn off as it is illegal

I give them a sacrificial computer
"oh yea I totally use that 850MHz Pentium 3 as my daily computer, it meets all of your minimum requirements"
shows you how worthless those are, considering your partner may have just been hired cause he owned a truck and a hand drill
Flip digital switches with electronics, the apocalypse is near!
