Simple math exposes the blatantly fraudulent claims being made here. Also where does TFS make the switch between imperial and metric measurement and where does it distinguish between the two for those who don't know what the fuck an inch is? (it's 25.4mm)
logo compliance kicking in there, I reckon - it was more than just a sticker, it said "I'm taking kickbacks from Microsoft to push this out with a crippled version of Office."
I thought the F150 was the most popular model ever sold?
But yeah, its simple functionality and no-fucking-about way of carrying three generations from A to B without you having to worry about whether Scotty pulled regulator fuses before you try and kick in the warp drive, is more of a comfort than any "perk" anyone could *add* to a vehicle.
Because batteries are for starter motors, headlights and 8-track decks.
Henry didn't have EMS, rearview cameras, GPS routing, Lojack; even if it were available to him, I don't think the Model A would've been equipped even as an option.
I dunno, is the roof of a tractor trailer big enough to hold a thirty by seventy foot solar array? I can see it working for houses, ten joined terraces has got to be larger than that in roof area, even flat roofs (I'm going by my shoebox which is typically sized for a 1960s midterrace town house in England, at 70 feet deep and twelve wide including the garage - with that kind of efficiency you'd only need to cover 30% of existing roofs to meet the entire domestic power demand), but then you've got infrastructure to deal with as well: converters, storage, isolators...
Windows 95 didn't ship with IE, it came with the Plus! pack which was released at the same time as Windows 95 OEM Service Revision 2 (late Summer 1996?) which boasted "With Internet Explorer!" on the splash page.
you could. The Dell Dimension XPS P60 (BIOS timestamp 1995 so it was definitely out then, that's a reflash I did in 2004) shipped with 8MB, maxed at 64MB but you could use a PCI daughterboard (it had 5 PCI and 1 ISA slot) to crank it up to 160MB. Mine now has a total of 80MB (originally shipped in 1996 with 8MB but the first thing I did was upgrade it to 48) - 64 onboard and 16 on the daughterboard.
in 1995, according to my Autumn 1995 copy of PC Magazine, your basic Windows-ready PC had:
4-8MB RAM, price difference $400 400MB-1GB hard drives, difference $200 14-17" CRT monitor, difference $400 video adapter: 1MB VGA to 12MB coprocessor and MPEG decoder: difference upwards of $1200 sound: $25 basic 2-channel lagfest up to SB16 (all the rage for serious users in 1995 who wanted to HEAR Day Of The Tentacle) for $350 modem: 14.4-28.8kbaud, if you can find one you got 56k as well but be prepared to pay in solid gold for one of those, a 28.8 would hurt you for $100 CDROM: double speed do you for $380
A basic build with 95 OEM would be a mortgage deal - a cloth-touching $4,000. Max it all and you're reaching for $6,000.
In 1995, according to a poll by AOL, 32% of American households had at least one PC and 12 million Americans were online. In 2010, every household in America had at least one internet capable device (phone and/or PC), 3/4 of all adults had a portable media player, and the number of Americans who were online was expressed as a percentage: 78.6%.
Globally now, it is estimated that there is one internet-capable phone for every human on Earth.
my first Pentium was a Dell Dimension P60. Nice bit of kit, snappy with 48MB RAM and a 4MB graphics card on Win95. Had to upgrade the RAM to 80 and drop in a stick of EDO for the GPU to bump that to 8 for the thing to even run Win98. Soon after I refurbed a 486 D4/100 laptop bumping that up to 96MB and a P120 Overdrive, that was my main machine until 2003. The P60 to this day serves as a print server running Slackware 8 on the 2GB hard drive that came with the machine.
haha, brill. CPUIdle (the immediate successor to DOSIdle and tuned for Win9x in virtual machines) will allow you to throttle the virtual CPU down to 50MHz. DOSIdle doesn't allow such fine tuning, all that does is stop the VM from pegging the processor (MS-DOS 6.22 will peg ALL cores if you let it).
I use DOS 6.22 for a gaming cabinet (a real wood cabinet with the guts of a Dell CPt inside it), new stuff gets put through the sandbox first (a VM on here which is a breeze to redo if I fuck things up, takes all of six minutes for a functional install from scratch).
that's... interesting, but not my experience. I don't know what Dell did to fuck up their pricing model so much but when I built for Linux the hardware was pretty much the same price if not cheaper.
...is the requirement of PERSONAL INFORMATION vital to the functionality of ANY user system nor is it pertinent to the intellectual property rights or protections otherwise under the Law of ANY company offering product and/or services for public consumption.
you've clearly never had to deal with people complaining that their Facebook doesn't work.
Don't try explaining to them that their browser is what's broken, not the website (for various measures of "broken"), they don't give a fuck at the wire gauge used in their talking toaster. They cannot and will not even try to differentiate between hardware and software, cached content and streaming, Telepresence (the Cisco brand) and Skype (the Microsoft brand). Wilful ignorance is the bliss of the average end user for which there is no cure and keeps we nerds in work.
uh... no. Dell buys Windows OEM licenses from Microsoft at five Dollars a pop, just like every other OEM. Trialware is the stuff that's bundled according to foregone deals with the likes of Symantec, McAffee, et. al., where the OEM doesn't take a cut of any license revenues but gets to use the trialware to sweeten the sale.
the buck stops at the top. Notwithstanding that the top never gets it in the neck, it's usually some low-paid intern that gets it, in every other sector apart from politics if something goes South the Directorship answers for it.

Re: the aforementioned, how many complaints were received by the FCC regarding the open pansexual acts performed on this show?

I still use OS/2 (AKA eComStation). Have done since Warp 3. Still got a copy of Warp Server 4 on CD.
an NT box in 1995 would have cost $5,000 just for the RAM.
you missed OSR2.1 (August 1996) then, USB support made it into that release.
MS KB253756 will back me up on this.

3DFX VooDoo2 video coprocessor for the win.
didn't Bob Rivers do the parody?
"This Windows 9-5
is sucking up my dri-ive
it makes a Pentium cry
My 386
don't have the speed
It takes an hour just to bring up the screeeeeeeeen...."
(or something. I don't have the Tube link).
More NCIS plot ripoffs.
