I was about to show my boss an example of cool flash animation and I accidentally typed http://homestarunner.com instead of http://homestarrunner.com! All these nudies poppup up on screen and my face turned red. Man, did he give me beans over that.
That's why you can buy a powersoak/hotplate, etc to go between your amp and speaker, or buy a 1 watt (yes a 1 watt) tube amp so you can crank it without waking someone in the next room.:-)
Hybrid tube/SS amps suck. Really. They still can't compare to a class A tube amp - CRANKED!!! If you are gonna to the solid-state route, you might as well go whole hog fully SS and get a Tech 21 Trademark 60. Still no comparison, but better sounding than a tube/SS hybrid.
I will echo that! If a person cannot understand how it is possible to left click while using your right hand, FTP is probably not something you want to spend time trying to teach.
Then University is not the place for these people. How will they survive writing an assignment or checking email? Perhaps they need to do a basic computing course before commencing a University education that requires computer literacy?
I mean, with something like ws_ftp which has been around for years, ftp is a no brainer. You can even set up the.ini file for them and write-protect it. All they'd need to do is remember their username and password, and how to drag and drop.
You're right--the programmers should be taking full advantage of the hardware... and for many games that will happen.
In the good ol' days developers under-utilized the power of the C64. It was left to the hacking groups to fully utilize the C64's potential. They even got it to do things it wasn't even supposed to be able to do! e.g. utilizing the stupid border around the screen, sampling music, memory dumping games and being able to load them from disk in 10 seconds, rather than several minutes. Heck, even their demos smoked commercial games for their eye candy and performance. Now if only these hackers would become game developers for modern hardware. (sigh)
Add Microsoft Office 2000 to that list! Certain features such as Organizational Chart won't run unless you are admin. Org Chart which tries to create files in C:\Windows. We have created a work around though... a dirty hack really.
I have to agree. The ECS Group (aka ECS, PC Chips, Asrock, etc) don't know how to make reliable stable hardware. Every ECS/PC Chips board I have worked on, bar none, has had stability issues. Absolute junk. As a matter of fact I maintain a FAQ site for a certain piece of hardware made by these guys that is notorious for stability issues. It gets a reasonable amount of hits and I get many emails from people with major problems with this gear.
When considering a extremely low budget system, please consider Gigabyte or Albatron instead. You will save yourself a nightmare.
I would have thought one of the key reasons that OSX is so popular is its stability (lets put features like Dashboard to one side for a sec).. And part of the stability comes from the fact that OSX only needs to be developed for a limited subset of microprocessors and hardware architectures...
It's stability comes from running on top of *BSD. Even with a limited subset of hardward, Apple cannot get it right every time. I remember a certain update to Mac OS that broke the network cards on certain G4 machines. No excuse for that considering the limited subset of hardware.

I don't mind paying $1 per song if the artist gets a large chunk (at least 50%) of it. Little chance of that, right?
OMGWTF! 15 copies of a shitty children's novel leaked!
Watch, "Shitty children" moderators are now modding you down.
My favourite: Petroleum Transfer Technician AKA Gas Station Attendant.
Only if combined with Natelie Portman. err... I am told.

NO feel. No dynamics. Just plunk plunk plunk.

OS X support two button mice natively.
What about a third mouse button and/or scroll wheel?
Well, yes and no. With the technique described in the GP you can get far far greater dynamic range though.
Only for non-moving subjects such as landscapes.

Yeah, they went broke last week :-(

Aw crap. For real? I guess I need to buy up a pile of Ultra 100 and RSX 100, and throw in the freezer.
computers have always had more range of contrast than film.
What BS! The exposure latitude of print film is far higher (more forgiving) than current digital SLRs and point and shoots.
You gotta use a high grain, high contrast B&W medium though. :-)
Sad troll really. You cannot beat B&W for an artistic medium. Many photos look far better in B&W than they ever could in colour.
Somebody set up us the cake

I think you meant to say "Somebody set up us the pie".
Whooops. Should've checked my typing on the title. ;-)

When new release DVDs of a movie are all rented out at Blockbuster, I can always find a copy of the movie I want on VHS. :-)
