If you haven't declared bankruptcy, and aren't in default on any loans, you can get a mortgage, and if you're willing to pay a high enough interest rate and PMI, you can even get a fixed rate mortgage.
I did a bankruptcy and had a house foreclosed. Within five years I bought another house with the best interest rate at the time (5.25%). I live in CA.
Yep. There was a time I could buy a CD, listen to it once, realize I really didn't like it, and return it.
When was this? I used to return warped LPs but they were all played or scrutinized to ensure a defect. Not liking a CD is not a manufacturing defect. Pants that don't fit might be one thing but if you told them you didn't like the pattern it would make it difficult to return.
Government-sponsored monitoring systems, such as Echelon, can track vast amounts of data but have so far proved of minimal benefit in preventing, or even warning, of attacks. And such systems are vulnerable to manipulation: low-ranking volunteers in terrorist organisations can create background chatter that ties up resources and maintains a threshold of anxiety. There are many tricks of the trade that give terrorists secure digital communication and leave no trace on the host computer.
In other words we are wasting our money and resources here.
a lot and one of the things I did was to make it automatically copy the entire WB disk to RAM and run from there. This way, when the computer froze, I could often just to a CTRL-A-A to do a "warm-reboot" and it would start up nearly instantly! This was a major discovery for me.
The stock Amiga didn't have a recoverable ram drive. It was volatile. The free/shareware people came up with RRD:
I can't say how many hours I spent dloading stuff from there. Probably too many.
One example of some cool stuff:
Short: Boot into Amiga Unix from AmigaOS
Author: Markus Wild
Uploader: polluks@sdf.lonestar.org (Stefan Haubenthal)
Version: 1.1c
Type: misc/unix
Requires: arp.library
Did you ever want to boot into Unix from AmigaDOS without needing to reboot,
waiting for the bootmenu, selecting that partition... ??
Well here we go, I took the boot sources from/usr/sys/amiga/boot, and made
them use DOS instead of device-IO. The assembler files were converted from
SGS syntax into MIT syntax, which will probably shock any non-gcc users;-))
The result is a simple but useful program called unix_boot, that can be
used to boot from any ELF-kernel file you'd use on floppy or your harddisk.
What I loved about it at the time was the sheer level of documentation that was available at a fairly cheap price. My idea of light reading was perusing the ROM Kernal manuals or the Hardware manual to see what neat hacks you could do.
Ahh yes, the RKMs. I used to browse them myself though my programming skills were with 6502 assy level at the time.
Someone gave me a A500 owners manual a few years ago. In it was the architecture and pin outs of the custom chips AND the complete schematics of the machine.
The good ol' days when we were meant to hack. I remember some Amiga designers saying they had no idea that it could do what it did in the hands of clever programmers.
And I moved on from my A3k last Sept. for my Mac. Yes, I used it for all those years. The Picasso video card rocked!
Newsflash: every browser has bugs. No browser is "standards compliant" (hint: the W3C is a vendor consortium that publishes specifications, they are not a standards body that publish standards).
Uh oh. Someone better tell them.
W3C primarily pursues its mission through the creation of Web standards and guidelines. In its first ten years, W3C published more than eighty such W3C Recommendations. W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software, and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web. In order for the Web to reach its full potential, the most fundamental Web technologies must be compatible with one another and allow any hardware and software used to access the Web to work together. W3C refers to this goal as "Web interoperability." By publishing open (non-proprietary) standards for Web languages and protocols, W3C seeks to avoid market fragmentation and thus Web fragmentation.
But then maybe our definition of
standards
is different
Dual cores does not equal dual processors. If you had dual processors either your software had a dual+ licence, or if it knew it was restricted to a single processor, it would stick to that.
What if the OS does the slicing and the app never
sees beyond this?

I went to a presentation at work put on by the developers of VPC. Their speed up tips were:
1. Set it for performance instead of pretty. This is under Advanced properties of My Computer.
2. Set a plain background.
3. Do not change the default memory setting. Giving it more slows it down. Leave it at 256 Mbs.
4. Close the system list window. The animated screen sucks up CPU time.
It was not a great increase but it helped a little. Also make sure the Mas has at least a gig of memory. More is better.
