20 inch iMac + resolution

Going To Boot Camp

· Score: 2, Interesting
I tried it yesterday and it worked great on my 20 in iMac. Tried a few games that ran beautifully.
However the drivers didn't seem to let me set the native resolution of the display... the 20in display is at 1680x1050 but the highest res allowed in the windrivers was 14xx X 10xx or something I forget. And none of the available resolutions even matched up with the ratio of this screen so no matter what the desktop was stretched one way or another. Anyone figure this out?
I think the SLVR L7 is around 10.5 mm. The pictured phone looks a little wider than the SLVR L7 though its hard to tell from the picture and I couldn't find the other two dimensions.
Were you raised on picture books? Words are ways of converying information, as well!
Measuring a wafer-thin 7.9-millimetre, the EV-K100 grabs the 'world's slimmest' crown from local rivals VK, whose VK2010 and VK2100 phones measured up at a comparatively lardy, pie-scoffing 8.8mm (with Motorola's RAZR being a positively obese 14.5-mm thick).
I run a PD as my firewall/router/server. I suffered frequent hang problems and replaced the cheap power supply I was using with a known-good, better quality supply and haven't had a problem. This is running passively cooled. I've also had a few other Epia boards in the past. My experience says they are very picky on their voltages, but overheating likely isn't the problem.
You know a guy is committed when he buys new RAM for a game.
Heh - I'm saving up and planning my entire next computer for when Spore comes out later this year. A few dozen dollars worth of RAM aint a commitment;)
Yes - On an Athlon XP 2400+ w/768megs of ram and a Radeon 9700, I was able to play just fine - on the smaller two map sizes. And even the second map size up would start choking frame-by-frame when the city got to a decent (read "interesting") size.
That was RIGHT after it came out and I know after I stopped playing it they released a few patches for performance issues.
Now that I have a Athlon 64 X2 and 3 gigs of ram, I've always wanted to go back and see just how much memory it could choke down and whether or not it was truly multithreaded.
Someone else has already replied pointing out "serious" applications, but I would add gaming. Granted the 4GB size is limiting here, but there are still plenty of games that are played at competition levels that you could fit (along with Windows) into this 4gb. Assuming the rest of your rig is top of the line, it's an advantage over your competitors.
And gamers are the types who would drop the dough on this, though the iRAM with 4gigs of memory doesn't even come close to a top of the line SLI config so it'd be a drop in the bucket.
Take special note - iMacs are immediately available, but the MacBook Pro won't ship until February. I had entered my credit card info and was about ready to buy when I realized that, and changed my purchase to the iMac. The laptop can wait.
I was just at the new Target at Story and King to check it out (nice store in a rough area...) and laughed out loud when I saw LPs. I had no idea (sorry, o/t)
Thats a pretty silly question. Did they want the first big format war (VHS vs. Beta)? Was there an popular demand for the 8-track versus cassette battle? Were folks riotting until there was a firm distinction between DVD+R and DVD-R?
Noone WANTS a format war. They do tend to gravitate towards the simplest and most practical technologies, though. Thats for for sure. When Microsoft includes HD-DVD with the 360, average Joe consumer will care. MS better do that before PS3 comes out or consumer opinion will be lost.
The only thing keeping this battle from being won already is where the porn industry stands.
I tend to think it's quite appropriate. Granted, in the strictist of senses, yes a planet reflect the star's light while a match creates its own. But from a analogical sense, it works. The brightness of the light from the match is a fraction of the light coming out of the headlight, just as the light reflected towards us from the planet is many times dimmer than the starlight itself. When applied to very large planets, which are the only extra-solar ones we've discovered so far, the size comparison works as well. Plus who's to say the planet is not a dim-light emitting gas giant?;)
The point is, the analogy does get across the difficulty of this acheivement quite well, even moreso when you don't knitpick it to oblivion.
It's too late to get back to the original point, but on a different note, where on Earth do you live where you can't legally force people off your private property even with fencing?
Many forms of discrimination are illegal for government agencies and many/most public businesses and services. Private discrimination is a different matter. I could keep black people, hispanic people, white people, blind left-handed people, or people who voted for Bush off of my private property simply because I wanted to. The government couldn't do anything about it. On that note, I could keep teens out, as well. No matter the inventor's intended use, there are plenty of "non-infringing" uses for this device. Suggesting it's would be illegal because it discriminates against teens shows a gross misunderstanding of (American) law.
I own a G3 yosemite running LinuxPPC, it's my firewall,IMAP,WWW,PHP server. And I own a VIA C3 Samuel running Linux x86, it's my firewall,IMAP,WWW,PHP,Shoutcast,DNS,File server. So whats your point?
On a slightly different note, can anyone give me a semi-valid reason I could personally sue Microsoft? I want to take them on myself, and represent myself in the suit to avoid nasty legal fees. But I need the basis for the suit to be valid enough that I can string the trial out as long as possible. My strategy:
1 - Draw out a lawsuit against M$ so long that I drain their coffers
Ehh... I played Civ3 on my desktop at home and on my laptop while out. I had Civ3 installed on both (with the no-cd patch) and shifted the savegame files from one to the other as I arrived home or left home.
Having two installs against the EULA? Probly. Completely legitimate usage of the software from a moral standpoint? Sure. Would I have even purchased Civ3 if there was WinXP-style hardware lock-in? Seeing as I spend about 60% of my time at home and 40% away and like to have my games available everywhere, no I would not have.
Agree with the principle or not, WinXP style DRM makes sense for an OS. Not so for any other off-the-shelf software (imho)

More like lose 3 years of your life trying to get it to work with WINE...
I agreed with you up until sentient.
Which implies you don't agree with "ooze." I for one want to make it clear I agree with him for all except sentient. Ooze is definitely valid.

But I can't find my copy =/
I just downloaded and installed the Drippy demo on WinXP and when I try to run the game it immediately crashes everytime.
I'm American
You're right, I hate Drippy.
14 comments in and no funny mod?
Bravo.

I agree with your sentiment, but disagree with your archaic pronunciation and translation. I believe the phrase you're looking for is -
DO NOT WANT
Do you have two network adapters in the Gentoo box? If so, piece of cake (as far as all things Gentoo, go).

do they run linux?
Do consumers even want another format war?

It's pretty fun... if you don't get a virus in 14 minutes you win!
Uggh... I can't stand another game with an unreasonably high difficulty level =/

Seriously, bud, get a little perspective.
