Thanks for pointing that out. I always knew that NT was born from David Cutler and VMS, but I never had any idea how closely they resembled each other internally, until I read this:
Who said that the US follows the convention anymore? They DOJ specifically had Afghanistan declared a geneva free zone because it wasn't an internationally recognized government.
That shouldn't be legal. If you are charged with a crime, it should not cost you money to prove your innocence. Period. I've been to traffic court in PA and its true that the judge will side with the cop, regardless if he shows up for court or not, but in spite of that, I was given the opportunity to plead my case without paying anything. (I live in pittsburgh) I got the points knocked off, which is a lot better than nothing. Another thing that gets me is when you get a $15 parking ticket and the costs balloons to $100 after you pay all the added fees. How is that even legal as well? Don't we pay enough to the government already?
you mean like the first couple of characters of the path and then tab? how is that any harder than tab completion in bash? I find the a case sensitive file system far more cumbersome than one with long directory names...
Wrong. They co-developed OS/2 with IBM and later split away and designed their own operating system that would be called Windows NT. They also developed windows ce and later windows mobile. It is true that they are notorious for buying/swallowing companies whole and then exploiting their technology, but to say that they have never written an OS that is not in use is pretty ludicrous. They also wrote some pretty well known BASIC interpreters.
No revolution is successful because it always ends up in evolution. Somethings change, somethings always stay the same. We don't need a revolution, we need to uphold our constitution. A lot of this stuff should really be unconstitutional and needs to be challenged more. Didn't the supreme court rule that customs cannot do roadside drug searches inside our borders, and yet they do it anyways because it really doesn't apply within 150 miles of the border? 150 miles is a lot of land and contains a very sizable portion of our population.
Niche portable devices are never cheap. Your requirements are pretty low. Why not just shop around for some older (cheaper) tech that needs some love? All it needs to do is record sound. Portable usb microphone? HP Compaq Tablet PC Tc4200 is just a hair over $700 used. How much more power do you need for notetaking/voice recording/video playback/mathmatica? Drop in 2 gigs of ram (the max) and windows 7 and you are set. Judging from prices I doubt any newer models will get much cheaper and will likely hover in the $1500 range or so. Personally I don't see this sort of thing taking off. Graphic designers might drool over the idea, but the average user needs a keyboard. As another has suggested a wacom tablet may be a pretty good compromise, or, even alternatively, a cheap desktop PC with a touchscreen display. Throw in a cheap project and you can do a lot of things. Though not as portable, you could easily put it on an AV cart and wheel it around. It could easily be cheaper than $1000 as long not taking it home isn't an issue. Not as sexy, but I think on your budget you might want to start looking at compromises given whats's on the market right now and what it costs. A $500 laptop and even a $500 touchscreen would meet your needs pretty well. I've reread your question several times now and I can't seem to figure out if your are either buying the tablet for yourself or planning a buy for your department. Hope that gives you some ideas.
I had similar problems with drivers and eventually forced windows 7 into diagnostic mode where the slightest driver issue will cause a BSOD. After many unrelated BSODs I finally honed in on the culprit: the card reader drivers from microsoft. A quick trip to the manufacturer's website fixed all of my hibernation and shutdown issues. From what I've seen the nforce drivers are quite a bit buggy as well. Specifically the display driver portion of them. Had a lot of problems with an asus board and nforce 720i chipset. It has an 8400gs embedded, so it is not exactly new hardware. I think once windows 7 is out in the wild a lot of the early driver issues will be squashed. After finding a stable driver set my install has been exceptionally stable. Much more responsive than vista. The arguments for sticking with XP are pretty much all moot in my eyes now and the GUI is actually kind of pretty for a change with the glass and all. Live previews of well animated windows like video for example is pretty neat too. Never thought I'd speak so positively about a M$ OS, but finally it feels like windows done right, sort of like the way windows 2000 was pretty rock solid and a huge step forward. Just about 0 issues with the 64 bit flavor running 32-bit apps. A lot of games take some dicking around with, but you get used to it.
From the looks of the video its frameskipping like hell. Emulation doesn't get good until it is as smooth as the original.
The core they are running this on is an arm9. I'd be willing to bet they could get it up to 100% with some optimization. The original GBA was only a 33mhz arm. The music doesn't seem quite right tho.....
Why? Every action takes time away. I used macs for years because I always liked their aesthetics and MacOS 7 and 8 were certainly more elegant in many ways than Windows98. I always liked the integration of the OS and the apps on the mac. It was certainly a strong point. I never got into OSX and I never got a PowerPC based mac. I always liked the proliferation of keyboard commands on the windows side. There are so many more things you can do with the keyboard alone. It seems like nearly every action on the mac side is engaged by mouse alone (and a 1 button mouse in the 21st century, huh?) which is beyond infuriating. Also why is OS X so damned slow? My guess is that it is mach with bsd running on top, but was there any real benefit for apple to come up with this drunken concoction? Mach? Really? Isn't BSD itself portable enough? As much as I hate microsoft, windows 7 is probably the smoothest OS experience (once I found the right driver combo) I've ever had. Everything just works and has caused me really about 0 problems. Every old game I've thrown at it has worked too (with some coaxing sometimes) which is pretty impressive to me. I think the long term future of what operating systems we will be running in another 10 years and it looks like windows is going to be around for at least that long and apple might have to eventually become competitive on the cost of hardware or start selling OSX to compete directly with M$, but I think that's probably only going to happen over Jobs' dead body.
And somehow the government seems determined to keep medical insurance in the hands of for profit corporations. For as much as medicare gets scammed, it is still a relative model of efficiency compared what insurance companies believe health insurance should cost you. How many hundreds of millions did they spend of lobbyists with money that they saved from denying care to people that need it? So much for the public option......
Actually what you just described is a crime. Fleeing the scene of an accident. You may or may not be at fault for hitting the pedestrian, but you cannot just leave them there. Sticking around and sticking with it being an accident are your best defenses. If you drive away you are as guilty as if you would have just pointed the nose of hood to a random pedestrian an took them down. Running is never the right thing to do, nor the most smart.
I have this pres presario at work that I need to fix for someone. Installing xp with the sata drivers rolled in works, but as soon as it boots it bluescreens somewhere along the 2nd HD based setup phase. When it reboots it boots into safe mode and installs fine, and allows a normal login, but as soon as I launch IE to get windows updates IE crashes and so does just about everything else, but it doesn't bsod. I think its like the V6000 laptop. Anyone know anything? (I know this is OT, so I apologize in advance....)
You'd be surprised at what people have. I think I have like 300 gigs of MP3s, 200 gigs of ripped games, roms, etc, 120 gigs of video, 60 gigs of photos and a whole bunch of other stuff like 100 gigs of applications and quite a few gigs of books and comic books. It really doesn't take long to fill up a terabyte drive if you download something every day.
It was beyond slightly gimped. They only had 2 megs while the real dev kits had like 4 or 6. You also could not use the CD-ROM. So whatever you developed had to fit within 2 megabytes and could only be transferred via serial cable. All for like what? $1000 or something was it? The best you could hope for was that your code would be picked up by a developer. I think Medival was like the one game that came out of net yaroze. I guess it was better than the days of burning your test code on an eeprom and putting the cart in the nes......
Yeah and how many games will be made for it? I know it will emulate probably even ps1 games, but I lug around my laptop already and the screen is a lot bigger, plus I can throw a usb gamepad in my bag and have some nostalgia on the go.
Humans cannot withstand long term micro-gravity. Period. After about a year in space you cannot walk when you land on earth. Our equilibrium depends on gravity too. If we are going to live in space we are going to have to figure out how to create gravity on whatever structure we decide to inhabit. I really doubt we would mutate fast enough to take advantage of weightlessness to survive.

Windows NT and VMS: The Rest of the Story Is NT really new technology?
http://web.archive.org/web/20020503172231/http://www.win2000mag.com/Articles/Print.cfm?ArticleID=4494
Wow. I guess you could say that NT was like VMS 1.5 with a bunch of APIs thrown on top so it could run OS/2, Windows 3.x, and DOS applications.
VMS was known to be pretty bullet proof back in the day in regards to security. Whatever went so wrong on the Microsoft end?
Why don't you tell that to the 150 or so police officers in Seattle that were permanently disabled during the last summit in america?

Hmmmm....$99 pens that fail at an alarming rate. By design perhaps? Now how does that happen and why do they cost $99?

I sure wish they'd port that to pc. I seriously doubt I'll be getting a 360 until I find one in bin for $30.

Or just download the whole freaking rom collection and call it a day. I mean come on, are nes roms getting that hard to find these days?
I love it when they scream, really gets me going....
Oh wait, we were talking about sex.....
