    Ever booted up a Windows 2000 machine?

    Says something like "Built on NT Technology".

    AFAIK NT = New Technology.

    Build on New Technology Technology would the result be.

  2. Re:Replace it with a key labelled [help] on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 1

    It depends on the purpose. When playing games PS/2 keyboards seem to lack the ability to send a "held down" key repeatedly if you do it on more than 3 keys at once.
    Imagine your little space shoot-em-up game and you're flying your little ship in a diagonal (pressing up and right, for example) and of course you have your autofire on your fire-key held in. Then something hits you and you have to activate something, which might be space. It will just beep because it can't send more than it is.

    Maybe this isn't a flaw in the PS/2 interface, just in the keyboards that use it, but I've never had this problem with a USB keyboard.

    Isn't it ironic that to keep the books e-free neither of them can put their name on it?

    In all fairness, shouldn't it only apply to google.us? Isn't .com an international TLD?

    I don't know about all the cards, but assume it's only playable under windows, many drivers shut off the optical out-jack when playing DRM-media on the computer.

  7. Re:How to lampoon an uncatchy name? on Palladium Changes Name · · Score: 1

    But this new name just doesn't have the same ring to it. How do you make up a catchy slogan -- any slogan -- containing the inconceivably awkward phrase "next-generation secure computing base"?!
