Having spent my teenage years there, I can verify everything this poster says is true. Takoma Park is a joke to the rest of the state, and results will sadly be ignored by state government.
"If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within two years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty."
Wait was the biggest hit off that album, it charted at #8 and brought the album to #11 on the charts. When the Children Cry charted at #3 but was off the charts in 5 weeks. Wait was on the charts for 18 weeks.
If we're going to go by chart position, Radar Love was never on the chart; If we want to look at dates the cover of Radar Love didnt get released as a single until February 1990!
and also the fact that AMD keeps changing socket design every new generation whereas Intel hasnt done it quite as frequently. That has to hurt, because how many people want to be forced to buy a new motherboard just to upgrade their cpu? its an additional unnecessary expense (the DDR-DDR2 socket jump by AMD doesnt really count as that was a necessary thing)
It's really nice to see Wiki software used for it's original purpose, and used properly. Hopefully the NetBSD team continues to keep a wiki in mind during the next hackathon.
Had a 65yr old woman who's grandkids used the computer... I doubt she ever did. Windows 98 SE, ran Spybot on it and I just about died, over 34,000 items marked as spyware. So I closed the app and ran a virus sweep with AVG and found over 2000 trojans (only like 11 different viruses with variants but multiple installations).
I realized at that point that it wasnt worth cleaning it up, so I reinstalled with her manufacturers restore disk and rescanned it... 300 items marked as spyware from the restore disk, and 3 viruses on the restore disk.
I did the old woman a favor and installed my old unused retail copy of Win98 on the box.
Thats why you should never buy a computer from Rent-A-Center... *shudder*
After working in bank security for a few months, I was always constantly amazed by how even the most educated of web users still falls for a phishing scam. I wonder if that has more to do with lack of education regarding bank/web security or have phishers just gotten that much better?
Unfortunately for formats like HD-DVD if your not using HDMI everything is downscaled. But I guess if your using an Xbox for your video player your not super conscious of jaggies anyways.
Games.... at least for the moment. Very few companies producing games are parallelizing their code. I can see the 100% being the core the game is running on, and the 50% core being the overhead of the interaction between the CPU an GPU. At least thats the only scenario I can currently think of...
It is a sound policy, the debate over semi-protection policy lasted for several weeks and covered many arguments both for and against. I think in the end we came up with a rather well balanced and effective policy.
Hearing ability seems to only be a small part of this test. I too have bad hearing (professional dj with hearing loss due to repeated sound exposure) 15% loss in my right ear compared to baseline 5% in my left. I got a 22 for a result (i'm 27).
why void the warrenty on a minimac when you can simply buy an airport and use network attached storage? this is worse than a pointless hack, its a bad one.
however given that possibility could work... it would be really interesting to see if it could be done in a sterile lab environ, or if there are other processes going on that would screw up the result.

This is the first design change that has actually made me consider leaving.

in case anyone cares the article in question: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy_pr.html
I notice you do not have a benchmark time for Firefox 3.0.3 (the latest stable build)... where does it stack up?
actually apple has said they would cover this:

put it in a central air ducting then... the metal duct would help to prevent a fire from spreading should the drive burst into flame at some point.

7.5 million users x $15 each a month (assuming everyone pays 15 USD a month) x 12 months in a year leads me to a total figure of $1,350,000,000.00
looks like he's correct.
mod parent up... this is sooo true.

it was "Denver" last time I went through that airport...

its about time someone did something worthwhile with datamining ... i'm so sick of everything datamining is used for being big brother/1984 related.

I wonder how long until the FireFox AdBlock guys make a work around (a week?)

thats because Jasc got bought out by Corel... they've essentially been protected by someone with a bigger wallet now.
