I guess I dont see what you are saying, ok maybe I see it for video playback but otherwise the computer is drawing every single pixel in the buffer and its sync-ed to the displays refresh rate
now if your (insert game / application that eats power) is not redrawing the scene at the same rate thats a different story, but its still synced to the refresh rate, and old computers did this too, games would slow down but they wouldnt half flicker tear 2/3s of the way down on the screen (which they will if you turn off vsync and on modern stuff look hard enough)
no, that was the only reason for the turbo button in the first place, later on it proved to be pointless cause unclicking it would only take your 386DX40 down to oh 16Mhz or so (for example)
originally when they first appeared it was becuase of clone makers "turbo XT's" left off it would run at the normal 4.7Mhz and with turbo activated it would run ~twice that speed
my experience with them at university level is glorified terminal operator and generally useless otherwise, in a public library it becomes a different story as they perform invaluable services to their community
yea I go to the library to wander around and get lost a while, but when I was in college that was the last thing I wanted cause I needed material NOW!!!
so I guess it depends on the function of the library, since yea this was a good deal and yea there was a hefty donation I will not go into how Illinois is broke, has a sky high poverty level, and if you find a town tween hours of cornfeilds its 3 farmers doing a circle jerk, and admit it was a good buy for a university
as a public place of knowledge and literature its a total failure, as discovery is half the fun when you are not forced to do a scavenger hunt on a deadline
yea and there for a while off brand memory stick pro duo's had major issues with working in PSP's, dont know if that is true today (my non sony brand 4 gig works fine and its 2008 vintage, but it was one of the few brands to never report problems in sony products)
I understood this when looking at a riva tnt vs a open gl processor with removable ram, but often times now these are the same card with different settings
SO in order for me to understand the difference between games and workshop in 2011 your going to have to do better than that 1 liner, its really up there with "mac's are better at audio"
I use it cause I enjoy vintage computers, it lives next to a//c and a 386, and grats on 9 still doesnt change fuck shit about what it does in 7 which if you would stop gobbling steves cock for a second I have mentioned a number of times aready IN OS 7 you fucking dipshit NOT 8 or 9 it fucking works fine there, but then your comparing fucking windows 98 and 2000 to mac os 87 which is pathetic in its own little "mac os was a joke back then" way
well since you somehow know that those (how many million) numbers was just stolen for giggles and are not involved in any elicit activities on the planet, would you please be so kind to point US in the correct direction?
You are more than welcome to pretend that there was no ill-intent behind that theft, but I choose to live in the real world.
so my current experience with the machine sitting on the desk in the other room, that I have been using darn near daily for darn near a week now is shit cause your nostalgia coloured MEMORY says different...
then you call me a piece of shit? fuck you! I am so sorry that MY computer with a fresh install of the OS does not match your memory I will go back in time and fucking fix it, otherwise NO it does NOT ASSOCIATE stuffit files with stuffit 3.5 on OS7
it MIGHT with the bundled version of stuffit, but I wouldn't fucking know, now kindly go choke on a dick
Really though you pay out the nose for this experience and projection just is not up to par, especially now days where you might sit 2 foot away from a HD screen all day then walk into a movie theatre.

Goat is good, as others have pointed out its like lamb but much less greasy
I tell you what though, turtle, stay away
I will shout out some random distro and not say anything else to back it up!
yea but they would be in current style and much less stinky =)
Agreed, I have 5.25's from as early as 1984 that work flawlessly, 3.5's on the other hand sometimes wont make it across town before crapping out
IMO the 3.5 media is just too thin

vsync? that's what it does, syncs the image redraw to the screen refresh...
I have a model M and my wife has a new microsoft, they are both just as loud when you type fast, the difference is between ping and thud

its about as much as that wallpaper will end up costing you, and you might have something more to show for it in the end
I can use that in my nonsensical techno-babble
Its a pretty common practice to take drawings and scale them down, and repaint for sprites

sounds just like jpeg2000, another image format no one uses

well if I can plop an icon on the desktop without having to make a widget or new action its already leaps and bounds over KDE 4
well TBH FC4 is the main reason I switched to a debian system and have never looked back, I wonder how many of us there are out there?
Not that I would not try it, but I will need a bit more persuasion than "we exist", there is plenty of that in the linux world
