Perhaps I could do a google search, but that would be unnecessary, as the concept of *-Tabbing between MDI windows isn't something I considered a possibility until I read the post.
My point is that I found out about Alt-Tab without having to look it up anywhere (I'm fairly sure a I have a Win3.1 app somewhere out there to thank) whereas I've never seen any mention in any app about Ctrl-Tab.
These keyboard shortcuts have been in place since Windows 3.1 as standard MDI shortcuts.
I would like to know how you found this information, because never in my 9 years of Windows experience have I seen anything referencing Ctrl-tabbing between MDI windows.
No, he raises a valid point. Broadband providers (DSL providers in Canada, at least) have a monthly transfer limit, in both directions. Symparico allows 5GB up/5GB down with a pay-extra option to increase this and a $8/GB fine for going over, and I've seen the price plans for other DSL providers, and they're similar, with different limits.
Live Internet connection required to complete install process
This could mean one of two things: - They could be using this to require registering your name and email with them (privacy issue for some) - They could use it in the Quicktime-installer style of downloading a small installer program and then downloading the rest from their server.
All the EM radiation could converge and produce a secondary effect, but it's just as likely that all the EM radiation will converge and do absolutely nothing.
Saying that it would cause a wormhole or quantum singularity is like saying "We don't know what else is in the universe besides us, so it must be aliens."
the fewer game titles per X-box are sold and the less game developers are interested in the platform
Microsoft has better marketing than that; they'll see the upside ("We're selling more boxes") and they'll give developers that line, to make them develop more for the system that sells more units.
Every Xbox sold brings them one unit closer to being more popular in the hardware game than Sony and Nintendo, which would drive developers to their system.
Likewise, I would have recommended an AVC Soul II (DMP-201) player. However, this thing skips a bit more than I'd like it to, in exactly the circumstances where I'd like it not to skip.
I have tried doing some tests of the anti-skip system, among those turning it on and playing it while jumping on a trampoline, and beating on it while it was playing. It did not skip during either of those tests, and this pleased me. However, when I walk with it, I sometimes notice it skipping after ~15 min of fast walking, so I wouldn't recommend it for jogging, as it would probably skip more, and faster. It's really great for short sprints though.
The Afrotech guy has also made some other really cool things.. Like putting a PSX into your PC, turning an old monitor into a Doom II diorama, and using aluminum foil to improve you AMD Athlon's cooling.
You are partially right.. However, it's very unlikely that something would have happened on the scale that people were talking about.
Just because no one could accurately predict what would happen doesn't mean that the world would explode. I seriously doubt that anyone would program some logic along the lines of "if year = 1900 then take off every zig" into a computer controlling the launching of nukes and/or missiles.

In contrast, the Dreamcast protection was almost non-existent (with an unmodified Dreamcast being able to boot cracked, burned games)
That it could, but they had to hack pretty hard to come up with getting the games off their original GDs. Dreamcast GDs won't read (the game part) in anything but a Dreamcast (or some Yamaha drives I think) so they had to devise a way for the Dreamcast to feed your PC the game data in an ISO-compatible form. In that respect, the Dreamcast had a lot more copy protection than the PSX, but the PSX wouldn't read copied CDs without a mod.
As another poster said, the average user would likely be interested in the space-saving properties of a flat-panel LCD screen. However, talking to the designer of some mind-bendingly amazing graphics has given me the impression that LCD screens don't have adequate colour response for most professionals in the graphic design field. Since Apple prides itself on having a large userbase of graphic designers, it makes sense for them to keep CRTs an option.

What happens when I pick "bore me to death." ?
Strangely enough, I had no difficulty reading that.

Neither of those appeals to me at all.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts
Nothing, just thought it'd be fun to point that out.

Just think, some day someone will build an XBox emulator for it.

Not to mention M$ takes a loss for every hardware unit sold.
No, they take a loss for every unit built. They recoup some of that from every unit sold.

I wouldn't mind having one of these next to my TV.

That may be true, but when I copy an mp3 file, however, I am not depriving anyone of their musical talent, equipment, studios, or producers.
CO2 is fine. Trees eat CO2 and crap out nice life-sustaining oxygen gas.
Tea should be made with boiling water, not boiled water.
Cookies are baked in an oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. I'd like to see you eat one at that temperature.
There's a difference between how something is made and how it should be served.

I can't wait for the Yattabyte to come into common usage..
Just think of all the stuff I could put on one of those discs!
12 inches would be 12''..
Do you mean that, or are you asking whether they said "12 cm" or "12 superinches?"
