Acid 3 was remade a few months ago so that all then modern browsers (Specifically FF and IE9 which "only" got 96 or so) would get 100%. So until Acid 4, all browsers pass all Acid tests.
Older (meaning non-Nspire) can be programmed in C and assembly, the others can be jailbroken to allow it. Hardly counts as a hobbled joke, especially considering they usually are essentially 8-bit computers (TI-83/84 have Z80 processors, TI-92/Voyage 200 have Motorola 68ks). Displays could use improvements, but there's not too much to gain from moving beyond what the Nspire CXs have.
I have to disagree about the TI-92 being slow. It is compared to something modern (An Nspire makes it feel like it was the slowest thing on earth), but if you want real epic slowness, try an HP 40G with the original SATURN processor.
Z80s at 15MHz must be getting harder to get, too. They're already using 150KB of RAM and limiting it to 24k, too. At some point, you might as well upgrade it.
Windows RT supports Win32. In fact, RT is built on top of the Win32 APIs, which means that Metro apps are just using APIs that (partially, at least) are wrappers for the Win32 APIs.
Win32 and all associated architectural elements aren't going anywhere soon.
Irrelevant. Real-life tests show that AMD processors these days lag behind (or are stuck in the last decade if we talk about Bulldozer) Intel's when it comes to power consumption. Since Intel these days has better performance than AMD in nearly all cases, you will need less power to get something done on a Xeon than an Opteron.
The lower purchase price may offset this somewhat for some cases where power consumption isn't a top priority, but often it just makes AMD look bad.
Piledriver is the architecture, like Intel's Ivy Bridge is the architecture.
These are server chips. Best case, these are finally faster than their pre-Bulldozer parts in real, consumer desktop use. They will not beat an 8 core Sandy Bridge Xeon in FP-heavy applications, and power consumption is, at best, on the same level as the Xeons.
All they can do is work like crazy on their next line (Steamroller as it?) so they're truly competitive again.
It's a conspiracy by Big Oil. They bribed the weather into carefully wrecking a bunch of EVs, to make them look unsafe.
Of course, your average car will not be fine after being submerged in water, either. It'll just be less spectacular. Note that a Toyota Hilux is not your average car, since it'd take a nuke to kill one.
Diesel isn't much of a hazard if stored properly. You need a wick for it to burn or impossible pressures (by atmospherical standards, that is) for it to ignite.
Unions, while fine in principle, will soon become a bureaucratic organization whose only goal is to screw the administration (country, company, whatever) over, not look after workers.
A neutral party should look after everyone's best interests. Goverments could take on that role, but tight and inflexible controls or excessive interference in what should be strictly business are the sad reality.

Pay Apple to write even more Windows malware? Aren't iTunes, Quick Time and Safari for the Desktop enough for you?
GPU acceleration would probably be broken.
Ignoring that, if all browsers are tested inside the virtual machine, it should work.
That's not irony. Unless he means the opposite of what he said, which would be very weird.

The comfy shoe is merely an evolution of the comfy chair used by the spanish Inquisition. Deadlier, but more portable.
Gives a whole new dimension to deceleration trauma, too.
As long as you don't leave the cached route...
I don't know, but if you can, you can do so with a Turing machine
Anything that implies a new implementation of a Turing Machine also has better chances.
You can write the programs on the calculator itself (except for the Nspire), but it's not very pleasant.

The TSA is still doing it completely wrong. You don't try to find weapons or dangerous items, you try to find dangerous people.
Can't it be used, just without the ECC features?
It's official: Steve Jobs had an unhealthy obsession with aluminum. And glass.
Have you tried 'idiot'? I hear it almost sounds like English at times.
I doubt it'll sound better in 'idiot', though, it sounds pretty absurd in English.

That doesn't mean the developers are going anywhere. It may cause some to leave, but Windows is, and will be for the foreseeable future, huge.
Developers may also be attracted to the write once, compile for phone, tablet and PC scheme.
Office. 'nuff said. If you need Office, substitutes won't cut it.
If media consumption is all you care about, there's probably no big reason to choose Windows RT over an iPad (for now at least)
