You are assuming that my computer has USB ports or supports booting on them. And even if you managed to boot it from USB, it would take atleast 22mins to transfer 2GB of RAM through USB1.1 port.
I didn't know they had WinCE devices? I thought that their PDAs and netbook type of devices (Series 7 and netBook) used Symbian OS and ARM cpus. And using ARM was a great idea as it was more power efficient than pentiums etc at that time. My old Psion Series 7 with 133MHz ARM still easily lasts 13+ hours on single battery.
Actually, your number looks more like random number string by a human as human try to avoid using long chains of same numbers when writing random numbers. But you are right, my number was made by randomly punching multiple number keys on my keyboard and those happened to register. I did then edit it so that the first digit after to dot was 9.
Even better, just use 6pt font and give people magnifying glasses, or they could use xerox machine to enlarge the prints when they actually need to read them.
Really? Didn't know that and I was so sure that the coffee maker at home does boil the water in order to pump it up to the coffee filter. It might cool down in the pot though.
Humm, it is only couple lines of code in Java if you include things like javax.swing.*, but those are external libraries that just happen to usually come with the language.
Yes yes, but I was assuming that the liquid in the cup will be held at close to sea level air pressure, thus it cannot be much hotter than 100degC or it would still be boiling in the cup, which SHOULD inform the drinker that it might be somewhat hotter than normal. I am sure it is also possible to make superheated coffee that will explode when you add sugar, but in that case I would blame the coffee shop, not the consumer.
Yes, I am not a coffee user, but I do have to sometimes have a cup of coffee at a client meeting if no tea is offered, thus my lack of knowledge in the arts of coffee making and consumption.
Google claims that 250F is 121C, that would mean the coffee at McDonalds is well above the boiling point of water, but perhaps water coffee solution has this higher boiling point, though quick googling does claim coffee to boil at 100C.
In any case, I was just assuming that people knew that coffee, which is made with boiling water, tends to be hot and would be careful not to burn themselves.
I am not a coffee user, so I am not sure, but isn't coffee usually made with boiling water? I would think people would assume that the coffee is damn hot. I always need to add milk to my coffee to cool it down for it to be drinkable (and cool down the cup so I can touch it).
I change my engine oil (as recommended by the car manufacturer) at every 15000km service (9320miles) or atleast once per year. Some oils claim to go up to 25000km, but they often contain nasty additives and plastic that might not be so healthy on the engine. I did use plain mineral oil on my old car, but then I changed it every 5000km (3106miles).
Taken from wikipedia: "Although high-speed USB 2.0 nominally runs at a higher signaling rate (480 Mbit/s) than FireWire 400, typical USB PC-hosts rarely exceed sustained transfers of 280 Mbit/s, with 240 Mbit/s being more typical. This is likely due to USB's reliance on the host-processor to manage low-level USB protocol, whereas FireWire delegates the same tasks to the interface hardware. For example, the FireWire host interface supports memory-mapped devices, which allows high-level protocols to run without loading the host CPU with interrupts and buffer-copy operations."
Actually flash based SSD's do have a seek time though they are faster than harddisks, eg. OCZ Core SSD has random seek time of 0.4ms where as WD Raptor harddisk has about 7ms.

Maybe it just is how keys are mapped in Finnish Apple keyboard, but I use Apple- to switch windows within an app.

Yes but are you running FreeBSD on your VCR?

I am sure you mean to say; Wow, a joke from 1994.995994999.
I don't know how it works, but maybe you need to register each version of the copyrighted work you distribute.
For legal piracy you just need a letter of marquee.

The SDKs "emulator" is not fully featured thus can make development and debugging difficult.

I thought that peanuts aren't nuts, but peas, thus someone might be allergic to nuts but not to peanuts.

55 mile range on the Top Gear track is not bad considering that many of the cars they run on that track manage to get one or two MPGs.
They are sleep editing...
Has Netcraft already confirmed the death of Firewire? Until that happens I'll keep using my Firewire enclosures, thank you very much.

But I think the Harkonnen forces did something more agressive, was it perhaps shooting at worms on sight or something.
Uh, IRCC the limited feature SDK is free. If you want to test run/debug your apps on the actual device, iPhone/Touch, you need to pay 99 bucks.
I recall that in Dune II it was only the Harkonnen forces did fight back when shot, it was one of their specialities.
