I think you miss the point of this HTML thing. It's a markup language, not a display language. For that we have PDF and Display Postscript. I don't want that much font controll in the language because your exacting layout isn't going to work on my 320*240 (or smaller) portable display anyways.
Laserjet 4's are indeed built like tanks, however over ~2 years they will cost you more in wasted electricity than it costs to buy a new LJ1200. So unless you are doing something to kill printers in less than 2 years you are better off chucking the old workhorse and buying a new printer with an actual low power sleep function and new fast warming fuser. You'll probably get better resolution and faster PPM too. This doesn't apply to businesses that actually use the printer at a high volume obviously.
I don't know, gmail for Blackberry is pretty damn good. Not sure if it uses POP3 or scrapes the web interface but I wouldn't call it slow at all, even on GPRS. I personally use gmail for my main mailbox with POP3 for long term storage (I have mailfiles going back to the original Netscape Messanger). I have access from home, work, mobile and any internet terminal or friends computer. The spam filter is 99.5% effective with zero false positives. Unless you use email as a filing cabinet like is typical in a business environment I can't see ever running out of room in gmail, my entire mailfile collection since 1996 is about equal to my gmail storage and that includes years of being on relatively high volume mailing lists.
Prior to Vista Windows only allows you to load additional install time drivers from floppy. This is important if you want to use the RAID capabilities of most modern chipsets.
Do a 2:1 or 3:1 reverse split to bring the price back over the listing requirement. It would keep them in the game but would probably accelerate the collapse of the company.
The difference is one of intent. The people in Iraq and many other parts of the world are INTENTIONALLY targeting civilians as a means to an end. They want to get their message out and to terrorize the population. That is NOT the action of freedom fighters, it is the action of brutal thugs. The Mujahidin in Afghanistan were freedom fighters, the American revolutionaries were freedom fighters. When you intentionally target civilians who are not part of the government machine I really don't think you can be considered anything but a coward and a thug.
Actually I used the Caldera Technology preview back in 2000 and it wasn't bad. In fact because it was based on 2.4 with 32bit UID's out of the box it was much, much easier to setup than Redhat at the time for use at Cisco. We had a NIS+ environment that contained many UID's above what would fit into the 16bit UID's used in the stock 2.2 kernal and getting glibc and everything else working with 32bit UID's was a royal pain. Eventually we developed a Redhat based supported internal distro but at the time the Caldera release fit my particular need.
Considering that the Recommended, not minimum, graphics card is a 256 MB DirectX 9.0c compatible Video card with Pixel Shader 3.0 (ATI Radeon X1600+ or NVIDIA 6800 GT/GS+ or better) and that the 7600GS is substantially faster than either of those cards in PS 3.0 performance I don't think I should have to put up with sustained 8-11 fps in many zones. Heck the 7950 was the fastest card available when NWN2 launched! As others have said, anything less than 8800 SLI sucks for performance in NWN2, that's over $1K in video cards and 380W vs 27W for my card =) Oh yeah and there is no way in hell any system with a 7900+ is going to be allowed in the living room!
Yep, I upgraded my main gaming PC just before NWN2 came out and it performs like crud even on the lowest settings. I have a Athlon 64 x2 4200+, 2GB ram, Geforce 7600GS and a RAID10 array using 4xSATA2 7200 RPM drives. My friend has a similar system with SLI'd 7600GT's and he barely has any improvement. My goal when making my PC was as little noise as possible from a gaming PC so I could use it in the livingroom, and while I succeeded for most games I can't play NWN2 because I get so frustrated at the crappy performance.
Uh, for everything but the charging there is Bluetooth, and for high bandwidth there is the upcoming ultrawideband version of Bluetooth. A handheld with lots of wires sucks and is something that not even most geeks would be into.
The problem is battery life. Smartphones like those based on Windows Mobile 5 already have a hard time lasting through the day with heavy use, constant decoding of compressed audio, feeding the phono output, and reading from flash/HDD is going to almost guarantee it dies before the end of a long day, so I don't see it being an option. All of my friends who have tried it have gone back to carrying two devices if they want to use the music function for more than a morning jog.
Not only that but Slashdot is actually work related for many of us. I know I was ready for the recent ANI fix because of the article here at slashdot. The MS site didn't really have anything until after the patch was already released.
Almost all of the 2007 model LCD's from 42-57+" are 1080P. This is true for all of the name brand manufacturers. 720P has been relegated to the small displays and plasma which has problems providing the higher resolution. I'm personally looking forward to the Toshiba 42HL167 which should ship in the next few weeks. 42" 1080P through HDMI, wide color gaumet (92% of full spectrum vs ~70% for previous generation), and all the HDMI 1.3 features. The only thing it lacks is 120Hz refresh with motion compensation, I just can't justify the ~$5-700 premium for that one feature of the 42LX177 vs the 42HL167.
WTF? Why does spreading democracy require a global democratic body? As we like to say here all politics is local. The farther away from the people you get the less the individuals voice is heard and the more the politics becomes corrupt, absolute power corrupting absolutely and all that.
Ah, I see where the problem stems from. In the US we did not have any cabling standard that broke the RGB colorspace into separate channels, the best we had was S-video which carried the Luminance and Chroma information on separate pairs. When high quality DVD players were introduced there was therefore no cabling technology widely deployed which could keep up with the technology, therefore "component" video became widespread even on SD tv's. In Europe you had SCART which already had separate channels for each color and so "component" video didn't take off until the badwidth of SCART was exceeded by HD signals.
What a bunch of bullshit, your player doesn't disable itself just because it sees its key in the key revocation list of a disk! The disks title key is encrypted with all of the valid keys and keys which have been revoked are simply not used to encrypt the disks title key, and therefore the disk will not play. You still have access to all titles released before the key was disabled.
Uh, it IS the exact same bug, you put too much data into a certain data structure type within the ani type files and you hit a buffer overflow. The only change with this iteration is that they patched how the code is called to handle that structure for the first occourance of the structure in the file, in otherwords they applied a bandaid by not allowing the corrupt data structure to get to the vulnerable code, but they failed to realize that if you put a second occourance of the data structure in the file it will be handed to the same vulnerable code via another code path. What they SHOULD have done is fix the damn broken code. There is no reason to allow unbounded data structures which is what leads to these stupid exploits, and applying bandaids around them just leads to more stupid exploits because they don't always know every way a given piece of code is accessed.
The one I pulled wasn't quite as mean spirited or destructive. I posted a picture of a classic Vette all over town with an ad stating that due to an unusual work schedule I could only be contacted between 2am and 6am. The price of the mint condition Vette? $6,000. Boy was my mark pissed off at being called at all hours of the night by people looking to buy the car. He never tried to pull another prank on me =)
and I wonder what the plan is for the Quincy data center
Not damn likely. You aren't allowed to once through water and dump it out anymore, it's called thermal pollution. Many of the nuclear facilities that were designed to once through water have had to be retrofitted with long underground rivers to act as heat sinks instead of using bodies of water.
force 8 bit color 800*600 with cache enabled and themes and sound off, turn off drive and printer mapping. As long as you aren't using IE it works fine over 28.8. I did it for several years before cable became available out where I live (too far for DSL).
Uh, I administered a Windows server in Puerto Rico that had a bad T1 line, we were measuring up to 40% packet loss at times and while RDP dropped it auto-resumed once the packetloss went back down. I can't imagine trying to use SSH or X to do the same. RDP also works acceptably over 28.8 dialup, I haven't seen any flavor of X do that. You can bash MS for many things but RDP is not one of them, of course it's a good technology that they stole from Citrix but.....

For ROT13 just add it with an addon. I personally use leetkey, which while a bit immature it some respects does add support for ROT13 =)

Bethesda has made exactly nothing worth a damn since Daggerfall.
I would disagree, I quite enjoyed Magic and Mayhem: The Art of Magic as well as the original Magic and Mayhem.

So you do what Google does and DON'T replace/repair the failed hardware.
