In most parts of the country HD+DVR+a package that includes HBO is going to easily top $100/mo. You may be able to get it below that by bundling it with phone and internet service, but by that time you're sending $150 or more to the cable company each month.
Maybe you should start by finding an ultraportable Intel laptop that meets that price point, as a 13.3" laptop is too big to be considered an ultraportable.
Twelve states plus the District of Columbia all have some form of common marriage, and many other states also did at some point. You're right though that California is one of the ones that doesn't recognize it.
Or you can just file separately. I fail to see any case where a married couple would be screwed on their taxes versus singles, as the option of filing separately is always available. Worst case scenario is that getting married would net you no tax benefit versus staying single.
I acts just like the numeric keypad on a regular 101 keyboard, complete with Numlock that toggles the function of the buttons (sadly no status LED though). I verified with a key scan tool and pushing the buttons on the keypad register the exact same values as on a standard 101 PS/2 keyboard. Mine is several years old but they seem to be still available if you still need one. My guess is that the most of the ones with a proper Num lock key and both sets of legends printed on the keys would act properly.
If the requester that hung up on a full keyboard, they should just by a USB keyboard and carry that with them. They're not going to find any laptop with a keyboard anywhere close to that one that will make them happy.
There are plenty of laptops available with numeric keypads now. Now that everything is widescreen, there is plenty of room to put the extra keys on the models with the larger screens. However, I can understand the submitter's plight. Of all the ones I've run across so far, I really wouldn't want to own any of them.
Sure, you can buy an i7 PC a bit cheaper than the cheapest i7 equipped Mac, but the case will be louder, more flimsy, probably more gaudy. and won't have bluetooth and wifi integrated out of the box. Is it cheaper? Yes, depending on your perspective. Add in a good case, good keyboard and mouse, WiFi, equivalent interfaces (DisplayPort/Mini-DisplayPort/HDMI) then you've surpassed the price of the Mac.
Are you on crack? The cheapest Mac with an i7 is a $899 Mini. Not only can you get a pretty damn nice PC for that kind of money, I can practically guarantee that it will have more than 4GB of ram and something faster than a 5400 RPM hard drive, as well as an optical drive. It will also sport the desktop version of the i7, which will be a quad core chip compared to the mobile dual-core chip that the Mini has. Oh yeah, and your $899 Mini doesn't even come with a keyboard and mouse (which is just as well, as Apple's keyboards and mice are unergonomic junk and horribly overpriced). Yes, I know the Mac Mini is tiny, but besides its small size it has nothing else going for it.
Because they get in way and end up being accidentally clicked with undesirable results. Pretty much every gamer I know HATES the Windows key on the keyboard (in its usual position between CTRL and ALT). I have a keyboard with a non-standard layout that places the Windows key on the top right of the keyboard, which in my opinion is a much better place for it as I never hit it unless I mean to.
There's no reason why you couldn't put safety features into a "basic" car. I think the parent was complaining about the gee-whiz gadgets and gimmicks that seem to plague new cars, as well as the tendency for form over function in the designs.
If the price of fuel is higher, people will combine errands more instead of making individual trips to the store. Or they may stop at the store on the way home from work rather than going home then back out to the store. They may make larger trips to the store instead of many smaller trips. If they are going out for fun they may not go as far, such as going to a close by restaurant rather than the one they normally prefer that's across town. That kind of thing. I know some people when the price of gas got high a few years back had basically stopped driving their car except for commuting to their jobs. Any shopping or errands were done at stores on the way to and from work.
On my computer that number is represented as 9,999,999,999.990234 so it's not exact as you say. Though depending on what you're doing that 0.000234 may or may not actually cause a problem.
Even if we accept that as true (which I do not), we would have been much better off bailing out the suppliers with some cash to help carry them over, rather than to plow the cash into a worthless failed company like GM.
That's with an 8 year old laptop. Your post shows how full of shit you are, and you have NO IDEA how to utilize technology. My now defunct Athlon 900mHz system that I assembled in 2000 still would have handled HEAVY web surfing today quite easily.
My experience is that hardware of that vintage runs into issues playing back flash video nowadays. Which is more Adobe's fault, but they don't seem to care. You could try upgrading the GPU, but the AGP bus limits your choices. Kind of a shame, as it'll be powerful enough for most anything else on the web.

Diablo III Released
·
· Score: 1
If Blizzard actually cared about duping and hacking in Diablo II, they should have policed their own servers and banned accounts and CD keys of the cheaters. As it was, they did basically nothing and once the cheaters learned there was no punishment for cheating (except maybe losing your duped items) you ended up with mass cheating the plagued battle.net.
Well, you should consider that one of the main drivers behind the price of oil is how much it costs to pump it out of the ground, not necessarily how scarce it is. We've exhausted plenty of resources because it was cheap to do so, continuing to do so even when it became obvious that the resource was almost used up and would be gone forever.
Depends on where you live. Here it's illegal to have any open alcohol containers in the passenger compartment of a moving car, regardless of what's in (or not in) the containers. It's technically illegal to transport your beer can collection if it's not in the trunk.
Replacing working computers because of electric power efficiency usually doesn't work out, despite what people here like to proclaim. First, an old Athlon system doesn't use nearly that much power, try about half that for one that is nicely loaded by 2001 standards. Secondly, most people don't run their computers 24/7. If that old Athlon system (which runs probably 100-120W or so in reality) is only runs a few hours a day, it's going to take a long long time for the savings to buy you something like an Atom system or one of those AMD A350's. In most cases people are better off to keep using that old Athlon or P4 so long as it does what they need and it still works, and to learn to turn it off when they don't need it.
Don't the browser packages that are meant to run from a USB memory stick run entirely in ram? You can also take it a step further and run the whole OS in ram using a live CD.
I'm kind of wondering if that is coming to an end here soon. I haven't seen anything newer than LGA775 with ISA slots, maybe that will change once the pipelines for new LGA775-compatible hardware starts to dry up.

Yeah, you're right. Better off downloading Debian.
I have a Lenovo one that seems to do as what your friend needs (or needed).

That's why I want an electric car. I can't wait to dump the whole exhaust system.

If he opposed it, he could veto it anyway. Sure, the veto may still be overridden, but at least the record would clearly show he was against it.

You could always buy one of the laptops that allows you to remove the optical drive and put a hard drive in its place.

Agreed. I'd gladly turn a 2TB drive into a 1.8TB drive if it meant that the file system was doing 10% PARs behind the scenes.

And you totally fell for it. Of course you had to troll yourself by spreading a bunch of lies about Apple.
