Or alternately, if you're concerned about power draw, most of the better NAS boxes out there run some form of streaming software. I've got Serviio running on an ARM-powered QNAP box and it works flawlessly.
For what it's worth, I do believe that at least some of the C-64 emulators have a fallback mode (very slow) that entirely emulates a 6510 CPU. It's impossible to entirely emulate the SID chip for sound however, given that it's partly an analog device.
Thank-you. I hate it when clueless people don't understand that Betacam (normal/SP/Digital) and Betamax have very little in common between them. You might as well list U-Matic as a Sony success for all the difference it makes in the consumer market. And I'll bet most television stations still have a U-Matic device hiding somewhere in a closet.
Ah, but the rumour is that Poulson is *IT* for Itanium. There will be process shrinks with more cache and perhaps the odd feature bolted onto it, but the word on the street is that this is the last microarchitecture for the Itanium line. That will last Intel out through any existing government contracts and whatever agreement they have with HP. It will probably allow HP to get to the end of all their VMS contracts, too. (Pity, because porting VMS from Alpha to IA64 was a bitch, but they *had* to do it)
Bourne Supremacy was the first film where I really noticed it. It annoyed me at the time, but as everyone has been moving towards using it, Supremacy looks like a fairly tame implementation.
But yeah, late 90s cop shows on TV are where I first saw the modern use of it for action sequences. I found it really, really irritating back then.
Even DVDs, when they first came out, were supposed to be revolutionary because they allowed directors to include multiple angles for the same scene. How many movies have that? I haven't seen any.
Multiple angle DVDs were created for the porn industry. And I'm pretty sure they're the only ones that ever used it. Even in that niche, it's not used very often any more.
Normally I quite like BA, but their flight attendants in my experience will answer a yes/no question with a whinny and 1 stamp of the hoof for yes, 2 stamps for no. Give them a sugar cube and you'll be treated well.
I bought the same and also posted a negative review on Overclockers that never appeared. I eventually wrote the Icybox off as a hard-learned lesson and just leave a PC on all the time instead.
Virgin didn't take anything over. NTL bought Telewest. Then NTL bought Virgin Mobile and decided to take the Virgin name while doing so. The fact is that the name change is because NTL had such an atrocious reputation for service. Which hasn't improved one bit.
Mod parent up, please. Pay as you go and weekly Oysters do not require registration. Monthly and annual Oysters have no checks that the registration information is in fact valid. Why would they check when the main reason for registration is the replacement of lost/stolen cards? Transport for London isn't MI5 - they don't really care about individual data and only keep records to establish travel patterns. It's [i]handy[/i] on occasion when a criminal is dumb enough to wander around on their own registered card, but I've only heard of two cases where that's actually helped the police.
Pretty much like a Toshiba Libretto to the point that I wouldn't buy an Eee because I already have a Libretto. Same screen resolution. Moderately less powerful (it is six or so years old after all, but the Eee is way underpowered by modern standards), and it lacks USB ports. But I did get it for next to nothing and it takes standard PC cards for adding anything that I need.
The Eee is way cheaper brand new than the Librettos were, though. I can see why people would like them.
2) Remember you have to find a 7600GS that was *identical* to the one you have. Same manufacturer, same timings, same amount of ram, same firmware, same hardware revision. Otherwise it ranges from 'doesn't work at all' to 'mostly works'.
True for the 6x00 series, but quite untrue for the 7x00 and 8x00s. SLI is a lot more forgiving these days, to the point where a 7800GT and a 7800GS can be SLIed.
I've had my granddad's old HP-35 (complete with battery pack, leather case, charger, and manual) lying about for ages. I always thought the LEDs were kinda cool. Then this article made me go look it up on Ebay for kicks...
Holy crap!
Some people are shelling out $250 for these things! Granted, it kind of pales next to the original price of $395 in 1972 dollars, but still. It's an old pocket calculator. Collectors are a nutty bunch, I tell you...
No, the real problem is that 1L of H20 is equal to one kilogram only at its most dense temperature (roughly 4C) and at one atmosphere of pressure. Which is where the problem lies - you need a standard kilogram in order to have units of pressure. A Pascal is 1N/m2, and 1N is 1kg.m/s2.
You can't define the kilogram in terms of a "standard" litre of water, because you need the kilogram defined in order to have the proper amount of water.
My first memory of Stealth Fighters in the news was the Panama invasion, at which point it had been in active service for only 6 years. IIRC, the USAF had admitted the the existence of the aircraft the previous year (1988).
Latitudes are the "professional" line and don't come with that crap. (By "crap", I mean both the Dell software and the Apple remote and webcam) Having used both, I feel it's *well* worth it to have a larger, higher-resolution screen and less weight. Having a keyboard that's not annoying is a fringe benefit.
Naturally if your requirement is running MacOS, the Dell is useless and the Apple represents infinitely better value. I merely objected to the notion that the Macbook is particularly small or light.
You are aware that the 13.3" Macbook is pretty much the size (and weight) of most 14.1" notebooks, yes? For example, A Dell D630 is larger by 5mm x 10mm x 12mm and you get a full 14.1" display at 1440x900. Most importantly, it's 300g lighter.
There are a lot of things to like about the Macbook, but it is not particularly small or light.
You want drivers to know how fast their engine is running, what their acceleration options are, and the ability to judge speed roughly.
I believe that's what the tachometer and the speedometer are for.
Sarcasm aside, any reasonably clued driver will know exactly when their automatic will shift and when it won't. Aside from the efficiency loss in the torque converter, there's nothing wrong with an automatic transmission. The problem is that it allows people who aren't reasonably clued drivers to hop in and speed away.
Macs also break less often, and are easier to fix when they do.
Having supported hundreds of both Macs and PCs, this is rubbish. Especially the easier to fix part! I find they break about the same (so long as you're buying reputable PCs), but Macs are much harder to fix. In particular, their laptops are fiendishly designed in such a way as to make them extraordinarily difficult to repair.

"iOS apps are desktop class apps."
I love my iPhone, but you're insane. iMovie on iOS is barely even related to its namesake.

You need a support contract for patch bundles. Individual patches are free, but incredibly inconvenient to bundle yourself.
Using both around these parts, a Latitude is a better built machine than a MBP. MBPs are much better than Inspirons though.

I can't think of any car where I actually had to remove a tire just to change the battery (Does anyone know what car Jamie was talking about?).
I've never had to remove a tire, but I do know that on some models of Corvette you have to remove a body panel to change the battery.

No, Panasonic Toughbooks are the most solid laptops money can buy. But they're a bit of a special purchase item. You're right for "regular" laptops.
