My point was that in neither case is it terribly likely for that to happen. Battery acid would be worse, but that's why they encase them so well. For the most part.
I think you meant fewer problems. It's ok. English isn't the official language in New Zealand. Oh, wait a minute...
You may have fewer problems with Opera, in theory, but you're also forgoing all the nifty extensions that Firefox has, etc., as well as it being much easier for me to say to my health care company "Support Firefox, lots of people use it!" and they say "We're looking into it for our next update" rather than saying "Support Opera, I use it!" and them replying "Sorry, you don't represent enough of a market for us. Please use a more mainstream browser which is available on many platforms."
I took a double-take at the cash machines in Vegas because I initially thought that. That's only for a cash advance on credit, though. If you were just using it to withdraw cash from your account it was a relatively normal fee structure, something like $2 for every $100 withdrawn or whatever. This was in the MGM Grand in May, so I doubt it's changed since then.
See, it's the Core 2 Duo's that are 64 bit, not the Core Duo's. You totally missed the 2. Seriously, what were you thinking? And 2 should totally mean 64bit, because 32*2 is 64. Duh. You must be an AMD fanboy or something. Let's stone him, boys!
At least you admit it's not rational. I'm not for a militaristic society, but I'm of the mind that if someone's winding up to punch me in the nose, I have no compunction with hitting him first. I'd rather not wage war, but the fact remains that there are people who are willing to kill Americans because we don't believe the same things they do (no, America isn't immune to this, but the Crusades are the last real recorded Christian "holy war"), and I'd rather not let them.
Yup. I remember playing UT when it first came out. I wasn't the best, but I played with some of them, and could even somewhat compete. Then the bots started coming. You could tell when they were there, because the feel of the whole game completely changed, and it got to be where it just wasn't fun running around a corner and getting headshot immediately no matter what you did.
You're not the only one that gets that. Part of it is because I use an external monitor about half the time with my laptop, in conjunction with the laptop screen, and the rest of the time I don't.
That works in a socialist country where taxes pay for everything. We don't do that as much here, though some would disagree;) All it would do here is make prices go up for sending legitimate mail.
I got my copy of TrueCrypt in a.zip file, and the.zip file had a folder called "Setup Files", and that folder had all the executables. Can you not handle.zip files?
So, what you're saying is that they'll pull the same trick they do with their controllers currently? And people will assume that since they're the same brand, they'll work better together? And that the company is trying to make a PROFIT? Those BASTARDS!
Seriously. They're adhering to a standard. What more do you want? Kicking people in the nuts telling them to not buy your product?
You install it? I just use the executables. No reason to install it. You can still do everything from the raw executables that you can from the installed version.
But the N46 didn't play SNES games. That will be a BIG selling point to parents. No need to buy a whole new game library to go with it, just buy the new system and then games as you see fit.
A highly-tuned car will be faster than a stock, showroom one.
A custom home will be exactly the way you want it, not just close.
Handbuilt furniture is of higher quality than pegged together particle board.
Hand-made wedding dresses fetch a major premium.
etc.
It's basically that pre-fab computers are slave to the bottom dollar, so they cut corners where possible to still deliver a functioning system and still reap profits. If you make your own machine, you get specific components that are high-quality, and together make an awesome machine, rather than a mediocre one that is limited by marginal quality in important components that was necessitated by the mass-manufacturing method it was produced through.
Guess you shouldn't buy from that manufacturer then? There are places you can get a good price on a PC, and just a pretty bare OS install on it (Windows or otherwise). I support businesses that treat their customers like people, rather than just another percentage of revenue.

You'd rather get splashed with a trunkfull of highly flammable hydrocarbons?

...the term is Ivy League, not IV league. Perhaps you should pay more attention in school.

Isn't that why we have these fancy dual-core processors coming out? :)

If it takes moving pictures of a certain type to keep your kid happy, it's time to get them outside more and away from the babysitting box.
OpenOffice will open a Word 2000 document. Let's see Word 97 do that.

Wolf ain't a judge, Wolf is the spammer's attorney. They're paid to be sociopathic.
Actually, the question is "does the GP really even know anything about relativity at all given that he can't even spell it?"
