yea those comic books are individually hand painted for each copy. Honestly most of the time they dont even hit newspaper quality of print so the digital form, which is actually the source material, seems to be the way to go
oh really, show me where I can find composite video, component video HDMI/DVI and sPDIF or even fucking USB on my first gen ipod? second gen? third? hell show me a ipod with HDMI between the years 2001 -2006
and no palm was not a joke before pocket PC, it was the success of palm that people started making alternatives, there were plenty of PDA's before palm including apple's newton... no one gave a shit until everyone in the office wanted to beam cards to their palm pilots
and I also was a consumer of pocket pc's... want software? well is that a half dozen arm's , mips, or hp risc? how much ram, what type of screen, what version of CE are you running, oh pocket PC, what version of that? do you have a 3d accelerator? is that SD or compact flash or PCMCIA?
When I bought something for palm it worked, when I bought something for pocket PC it was like reading a requirements list from 1980
1) its been done thinner with just as much roughness so its not impossible with great results, I have pcmcia network cards 10 + years old that work perfect
2) I really dont see that, its about the same quality, what makes micro USB fragile out of the cradle is the size of the cable plug , but mounted in a (proper) rigid surface its not that much different IMO (though most consumers only see a bad implementation of it)
3) so why not a 100 pin connector? and why have they needed to change it over time, and pack a small accessory pack of do-dads? why not use a multifunction digital system... composite video is not really that great of an excuse.
4) super thin metal side springs are a joke, it takes jack squat force to render them useless then arguments 1 and 2 go out the window, which is why I ended up gluing my network dongles to the card, and while yes its cheaper to buy a 2$ cable for 30$ over an Iphone, its much easier to run to family dollar and get a 2$ cable...
Its really a design, yes there is some flexibility in there, but anyone designing a multi-use port should be doing that anyway, + there are some minor differences tween models (hince adapters) which dilutes that down a little?
one time yes, but that was on a full height 5.25 MFM seagate, so its like hitting a tank with a water balloon, on the normal 3.5 drives no I zapped them then plugged them back in and did a chkdisk with sector scan.
one could argue the magnets inside the disk itself are as strong if not stronger but those are pretty focused... I still call bunk on a chunk of steel with at least a quarter inch of insulation (drywall) effecting a computer maybe a foot past that often in a thin steel case itself, even if that was a I beam with romex wrapped around it like a magnet, but its really most likely those steel studs you can cut with a pair of snips.
I have personally taken a radio shack reel to reel tape eraser (a 120 volt electromagnet with a handle and a button) to the top of a hard drive on more than one occasion with no effect.
I agree, mostly cause I watched the neighborhood next to the one I lived in growing up.
Our houses were made in the 50's, not really old for houses, but the sardine can developer projects on the other side of the hill were made in the early 90's, my parents house with reasonable but not insane maintenance is in great shape. 5 years after the developer cram houses were made the metal door jams were buckling and rusting, and the crappy nylon siding was cracking. now you go there and all the houses have some major foundation issues for anyone buying (though not major if its not a new investment) bricks are loose enough to just yank off the houses and most of the plastic frame windows have gaps big enough to stick your fingers in.
Its not that "they just dont make them like they used to", its that "they make them as cheap as possible to maximize profit and run the hell out of town" and that is sad considering the outlandish price they ask.
we are looking at houses, some are awesome, some are real beaters that need some love, none are built post 1980.
The apple 2 was nearly 6 years old when the C64 was released The apple 2 was nearly 5 years old when the TI99, Acorn, and Sinclair was released The apple 2 was nearly 2 years old when the Atari 400/800 was released
The apple II even beats the trash80 by a couple months
I was looking at a 10,000$ Kia, sure that didnt have AC, power anything or even an AM radio, that car had the highest safety rating of that year, 40MPG. I ended up getting a 15 grand model and that even had a MP3 player.
Meanwhile at the GM dealership I could get a lower quality car, with less features, less gas mileage, less power and a much lower safety rating for damn near 10 grand more than the IMPORT. So its not impossible to make a low cost car, sure not 3 grand like the OP suggests but the American companies are not even trying.
Its been over a decade since I bought a domestic car, and now that almost all the imports are being made in the USA, I get to have a quality product for a reasonable price without hearing the "dey took our jobs" horse shit.
well that's all well and good, and I always hear "when the bombs drop" arguments, but if this cellphone crap is that big of a crisis its not like that 7% represents every signal radio could use, reclaiming that 7% would not totally banish ham's from the air...
And I think its a dying hobby cause when I read QST they act like its a moon landing if someone under the age of 50 participates in an activity
On the other hand its not like that 7% is really going to help that much but when your in a "crisis" as they make it out to be, every drop counts right?
its simple, what does most of the people use, excel, normals have never heard of any of this, they just want excel files, what happens when you send a open blah blah file to them?
you could build the best office file format ever, it does not help if no one uses it

dont worry, they wont have any inside the USA soon (and no not because of this)

look at pcmcia cards with dongles

that is a very thin argument, I have made many connectors with those dimensions before as its a pretty standard spacing for PCB's
I thought that as well, I did not own a gameboy until USB was well on its way to being a standard feature, and said hmm isn't that neat.

if it were that strong they should be able to throw nails onto the floor and watch them stick to the wall
one time yes, but that was on a full height 5.25 MFM seagate, so its like hitting a tank with a water balloon, on the normal 3.5 drives no I zapped them then plugged them back in and did a chkdisk with sector scan.

I do agree it feels really heavy, and on my old shitty work pc its frankly unusable, though its a old shitty work pc
I don't see why their workers wouldn't be on par with Detroit , since they are currently made in Georgia

they have pinouts for everything!

I guess I have to ask why do they even need 7% of that since they have a bunch outside of that range and it is a limited and dying hobby?
just wondering, and trying to not be a troll about it
and just how many times have they actually done that? I can open excel files I made in the early 90's on a mac on excel 2010
