So, m-w is the be-all and end-all of definition? C'mon... you think a DRUGSTORE (US term) sells mainly illegal chemicals? No - A drug is a chemical compound, legal or otherwise.
"Get off your high horse..." - same could be said for your comment, don't you think?
My parents were 15 (mum) and 17 (dad) years old in '71... and yet they think computers are a NEW thing!
OK they were probably more interested in less geeky stuff at the time, but the principles of electronic data manipulation haven't changed since then. Sure, now we've got gigahertz+ processors and all that, but a bit is still a bit, regardless of media (so now trees around the world can breathe easier knowing punch cards & tape are obsolete).
Oh shit, not only that, but 0 = 1... OMFG!!! Seriously, x=x+1 (or x++ for those such inclined) is a programmatical statement, not an equation to be evaluated.
Yup, I see where you're coming from. But I suspect there's more to life than just pleasure (I believe them there hedonists disagree with that statement). The fact this guy paid his way thru college working at McD*****s demonstrates more discipline than I had during my college years. Having said that, I wouldn't have done it any different - each to their own.
Sure, maybe in theory, but I've got MCE 2005 installed (with an Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T card) including that hotfix you mentioned, and it doesn't support HDTV (at least in my part of the world, Australia). The HDTV transmissions come through as very jerky with no sound. Third party apps using the BDA drivers (eg ShowShifter) display the HDTV transmissions fine. So either it's due to excessive overhead with the MCE aplication, or it's just not implemented properly - I don't know.
For what it's worth, I have the following setup:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 512Mb RAM ASUS A7V8MX mainboard 120Gb Seagate HDD (7200rpm) Windows XP Media Center 2005
My setup *might* support HDTV if I juiced up the CPU, maybe someone can tell me if they have a similar configuration and get proper HDTV?

I hear ya... apparently viable SDIO development requires a somewhat hefty sum to join the SDIO organisation, along with which comes an NDA preventing disclosure of said specs. I embarked on this project to see what I could come up with, but I hit a brick wall when I could not find the necessary documentation. I'm sure *technically* it can be done, but with no documentation nor a legal avenue to distribute said driver, it's not going to come about from anyone but PalmOne / PalmSource.
From an economic point of view, I realised it wouldn't be in PalmOne's best interests to release drivers to enable something which would be a big selling point in the next generation of devices. From a consumer-support point of view, I thought fuck this. If this is the attitude, I'm moving on. Hello Pocket PC, seeya later Palm.
So much for Palm promoting SDIO expandibility, when there's NO SDIO bluetooth future for those Treo's, tungstens and Zire's. Even WiFi took god know how many years to come along, only to find a COUPLE of devices (supposedly) had sufficiently powered SDIO slots to work with them!
Sigh... it hurts banging one's head against a wall, sometimes!

Indeed, yes. He did. Mmmmm hmmmm.
Fine, then get TWO machines!
I hate them End Luser Unacceptable Agreements.

Heh, a four-fingered person who can count to binary on one hand? They're either a cartoon scientist, or an autistic savant from hillbilly country...

Sounds like a bit of assumption about someone you (probably) don't even know, doncha think?
My favourite is any equation with one unknown - that means I'm one step away from (hopefully) getting something useful!

Comdey gold... I found that verrrrrrrry funny :)
I don't think they mean the fault lies with the user, but rather driver (as in software) problems.

You put in on the anti-you. Hmmm, or maybe not. Like a paranoid hasn't got enough to be on guard against let alone themselves.
Seal item in uranium block, bury somewhere in Iraq. Ain't nobody gonna steal that fucker.
Hmmm, y'know, that's sorta insightful, in a funny way.

Ahahaha... you're trying to be funny, but true humour has a solid basis in reality. :-)
Sounds like someone could do with a sarcasm detector. Yeah sure, like *that's* going to work. ;)
If you read it out loud, it sorta sounds like in that Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders finally loses it. Dang darn diddley dag nab it!
WTF? What language are you speaking, boy?
