Search Engine Optimization abusers will try to feed zillions of fake pages containing a specific keyword they're trying to attract, then coaxing the Googles of the world to list their page higher than legitimate sites pertaining to said keyword.
The end use has to know things like:
Native resolution of HDTV monitor, 1080? 720? 480?
Then go in the special menus and ask the HDTV decoder to up/down convert the SDTV/HDTV signals that the HDTV monitor expects.
But wait... if the HDTV can up/down convert, is it better to let the TV set do it, or have the set top box do it? And what about upscaling SDTV? That means you have to use the set-top remote to zoom the 16:9 content, but let the TV upconvert and the TV's zoom button is used instead.
When I explained that to my father, his eyes glazed over right around 'Native Resolution'.... after several explanations and emails rehashing the above, the concept started to sink in.
When the cable guy comes over with the HDTV set-top box, he plugs it in, does a basic smoke test, hands you the remote and leaves. He spend ZERO time tweaking your configuration to optimize the display quality.

I just bought a few days ago, (AMD64/ASUS A8N-SLI). I chose the configuration that was closest to what I specced out from Ars, TomsHardware etc.. The *only* change I did was to add a 2nd SATA in Mirror config and better speakers.
Buying a complete system gets you
A properly assembled and configured system
Components proven to be mutually compatible
Burn-in and tested before delivery
In my case the first MB they put in was faulty, so they changed it and reran the burn-in. Had to wait an extra two days. Far from annoying me, it reassured me that the store is serious about quality assurance. *cough* blatant *cough* plug *cough* pccyber.com *cough*
Choose your computer dealer like you would any other store, past service experience, recommendation by peers, reviews from credible sources, and if you're really paranoid, getting their record from the government consumer protection department (BBB,CPB,OPC...)
These should be considered as counterfeit items and deemed illegal for import, just like any knockoff Gucci bag. There are anti-counterfeit task forces operating in most countries' Customs departments, and Intel should make sure to block import of these CPU/boards before they even get in the country.
However you hack it, try using an old computer power supply to power the car stereo. I do mean old- like 486 or older AT style PSUs that will actually power on without a computer around. You might have to wire up the 5volt leads to run a nightlight or something to get some of these to work.. most will simply work. The red wire is 12 volts postivie, black wire is negative... Hook up your scrounged or on-sale 4 ohm speakers to the stereo. Choose the correct input. Mount creatively. (the stereo I mean)
Orange is 3.3v, red is +5v and yellow is +12v. To get an ATX to power up by itself, jumper pins 14 (green) and 15 (black).
BTW you can get many other voltages by using such combinations as red,yellow=7v orange,yellow=8.7v white,yellow=17v blue,yellow=24v
1. Quit, sell back the code, get lucrative support consulting fees.
or
2. Do what the boss says, finish development, release, watch boss get credit.
The probabilities are very high that the 'spare time' that is referred to actually was on company premises and equipment, and that work usually belongs to the company as per the employment contract. So #2 is the most likely to happen. Trying to pull a #1 will probably get you sued.
Now, to mitigate #2, Attain high visibility, get involved. The best thing to do: prepare a really snappy Powerpoint presentation and (this is the important part) present it yourself. Do NOT let the PHB do it for you. Insist on being there an any or all meetings about the project.
While you're at it, sprinkle your name/initials on every possible comment line, and document produced. Make it close to impossible to whitewash your existence out of the project.
Finally, what the PHB wants is recognition. Praise him publicly for allowing you to develop this very useful project. You did the work, PHB enabled you to do the work. Win-win.
Is there an Azureus plugin that would automatically block peers that aren't in my side of the pond? Seems to me that it's ridiculous for the packets to start in Finland, cross the Atlantic, then back to other european countries.
Perhaps not as drastic as block, but at least traffic shape/prioritize by physical proximity.

Palm's Mistakes
·
· Score: 1
"Palm just couldn't nail down the formula for over-the-air synchronization with Microsoft Outlook" whereas Pocket PCs worked right out of the box with it. People chose the popular over the better solution -- Betamax
"Palm announced its m500 and m505 products early in 2001, before they were ready, stalling sales of older devices, such as the Palm V." -- Osborne
Defectors starting their own Handspring, failing to see PDA/Mobile phone convergence and other strategic mistakes -- Commodore
Yeah, the trifecta seems like an oversimplification but it kinda fits together.
Slashdot Mirror
2006?- Seagate buys Maxtor
2002 - Hitachi buys IBM HD division
2006?- Seagate buys Quantum
So we're down to Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital and Samsung. Any other HD brands you see are OEM'd by them.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Perhaps they are not exactly strangers ...
This is more of the same.

Also, get a bigger flatscreen.

Just because you can mix different cores on a 940 mb doesn't mean you should. Have they tried a Quad Damage (2x dual core) yet?
Does that mean they're going to charge me $40 to hit the OK button for me?

"That blast came from the Death Star! That thing's operational!"

How about getting it compiled into a Linksys WRT54G router firmware i.e Sveasoft firmware?
Patent pending: to use this technique you must send me $100.
