    Actually the lowest setting I have ever encountered on a modern machine (running windows 2000) was 2-bit graphics, Yes, four colour greyscale. I couldnt duplicate it if I tried, "We just tried to play a music file" was the most I could get from the school teacher. Thank god I dont have that job anymore.

    I have flashblock installed, So when I view the demo page I get a duplicate of the headline in two different fonts. Is this what ABC News has had for quite some time? http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=140502 2&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312

  8. Re:XBox CPU? on Are three cores better than two? · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone missed a day of basic math.

    Snatched from wikipedia "In mathematics, a prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than one whose only positive divisors are one and itself. Or for short: A prime number is a natural number with exactly two natural divisors. A natural number that is greater than one and is not a prime is called a composite number. The numbers zero and one are neither prime nor composite. The property of being a prime is called primality. Prime numbers are of fundamental importance in number theory."

    No, Cars have the intended purpose of driving. It is fully within their specs, If your car blows up while driving down the street, Thats covered. If you buy a hotrod it is up to you if you want to squeeze out a few extra horsepower. But, use to much Nox, Ruin your engine and its your problem. There is even a car out there, the SCION which is advertised specifically for people to mod it, hell their commercials show people turning it into a variable transformer, but they cannot protect you from your own stupidity. Its your device, do with it as you want, a warranty is here to protect you from defects in workmanship. That is to say, the factory's workmanship, Not Yours.

    Hell, In advertisements you wont see this called the Linksys Hackable Whatever Flavor of Linux You Want Without Risk Router, Its the same as that other router, just with more ram, Do with it as you will.

    "leaving such a major product reliability issue unresolved probably makes the unit unfit for its intended use and thus subject to at least as many warranty issues, and probably a class-action suit if they won't service those warranty claims."

    This is why we cant have nice things. You dont get a device you can futz with with a nice warantee. Next your going to say AMD shouldnt make their high end processors the best at overclocking, then not give me a replacement when I melt mine.

    This isn't any sane auto contract, for any sane person. This is for a person with terrible credit, Give them a credit card, might as well just book the repo man in advance. Why are they buying a new car? They lost the old one to one of those "Sane" Cash Advance car title loan stores. They bought their "Brand new name brand computer" from https://www.bluehippo.com/ for as low as 35.99 a week! And they check into cash® every pay check to pay off last week's check into cash®.

    Dont worry folks, this really doesn't apply to us, (Barring you didn't just take advantage of the rapidly closing bankruptcy loopholes John Jay Kramer and Associates can find for you(TM) This device will not show up in our new cars anytime soon, See, cause we have Money, We make our payments on time, have good credit, and respectable companies Want our business, we don't have to beg for it like people who would take advantage of this would.

    Sensitivity Disclaimer: Down on your luck geek? Downsized and its not your fault? Had payments that you thought you could make before you were fired? This isn't a rant in your direction, don't get offended. This is for the people who see credit as free cash and other such things.

    Fresh cheap water _IS_ Plentiful in most of the United States, You decided to use for your example the reason why parent poster used the word "Most" and not "All"

    "waters from the Midwest and East to relieve water shortages in the West, and vice-versa when the need arises."

    To this I say, Fuck You. There never will be a Visa-Versa, You would just leech off of it entirely and never find a solution to your own damn problem. it was entirely the prerogative of the population in west to build a paradise in a desert, it was entirely their decision to drain the Colorado for water intensive farming, to put a swimming pool in every backyard of vast stretches of Arizona suburb complete with matching green grass. status symbol accessory.

    I live next to the great lakes, cheap water is more than plentiful, and you almost never see farmers ever have to use (let alone own) irrigation equipment, our farmers farm In an area perfectly suited for it, and our population drinks the same plentiful waters.

    Oh dear, California cannot provide for its population, Boo Hoo, do yourself a favor an cry a friggin river.

    I'm not saying water conservation isn't important, Though I would say water pollution is a bigger problem that needs immediate attention. California is not the rule. California and the surrounding states are the exception, You built a metropolis in a desert, and you reap what you sow, Enjoy!
