Nope. My XP system was crashing on a regular basis (due to what appears to be the nVidia Detonator 44.03 drivers being ridiculously unstable). There is a STOP error, dump, depending on your configuration, and then it restarts, or does nothing, depending on your configuration again. As soon as you log onto an account with Admin privileges, the system will prompt the user with an error reporting box, then transfers the report, then there is a 50/50 chance the Online Crash Analysis will have any idea what happened.
Try 8 or more GB. On x86-64, no less (whether Intel or AMD). Direct X 15? Probably not, as MS has stated DirectX 9 will last for a bit. Maybe DirectX 11, if you are optimistic.
Just use heavy drapes to as a separator. The noise of the engines is so loud would cover up the rest. Which begs the question of why use a phone in the first place.
I've flown more times than I'd have liked too, and I've never seen AirFone service (brought to you by Verizon) used. Has anyone else? Maybe that's why it costs so much, not enough volume.
The point regarding Fox News was that those unable to argue who put forth a reasoned argument must revert to sarcastic ad hominem attacks that everyone on their side may agree with as a matter of course, but leaves everyone else puzzled and shaking their heads.
Teachers shut people down because they're failing to say anything interesting? (Who watches the watchers?) Assuming that is true, most teachers must find drying paint fascinating, based on what they let go on in their classes. Parroting textbooks verbatim is not my idea of an intersting discussion.
You can't make people think. I can help the ignorant, but the stupid are beyond my reach.
Pissing people off is not the same thing as promoting diversity of thought. It may be indicated of another problem.
You are right, LCD screens do not have refresh rates. Some people do not understand the vast differences between CRT and LCD monitors; they assume that simply because it is a monitor it operates on the same principles. I'll leave it up to previous posters to explain in detail (and I'm not an expert, just advanced).
Your sarcasm is indicative of the sickness of liberal thinking. I don't watch Fox News, FYI. I'm not afraid of head-on confrontation, I thrive on it. How am I to debate in an enivironment where I'm censored by the teachers and most of the students don't care to challanged? It's not conservatives who are afraid to debate the issue, it is the liberal establishment. Are you up to the challenge of promoting diversity of thought?
I already know how to think. The reason I left the UMass system was because they were shoving Leftist totalitarianism down my throat. Logic and objectivity were definitenly not covered topics.
On another note, UoP is shooting itself in the foot by having an age requirement.
I think we are forced to believe that we are not living in a simulation. If we are, then free will as such does not exist, we do not truly exist, and that we are simply random code being spewed out by an enormous machine. If this is true, then we might as well commit suicide en masse. There are a number of logical holes in the premise though, mainly that the statistical numbers are arbritarily picked to fit a specific theory, no matter how inane. There's also the contradiction that a future human would on one hand create a virtual hell, while at the same time would be "human" enough to derive anything from it. I wonder how insane one has to be to actually formulate such an evil theory.

Both seem to work. I'm not sure why, guessing it has something to do with modding being a verb. I ran both through a grammar checker, comes out fine.

JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, other than their similiar names. JavaScript, originally LiveScript, "was renamed by Netscape marketers who licenced the name to ride Java's Buzz" (Wired, July 2002, pg. 61). Javascript is actually an offshoot that sprung from both C++ and ANSI C (C89). JScript and ECMA Script sprung from Javascript.

Maybe people just don't understand the market. No one except Linux fanatics (not Linux sysadmins or the vast majority of Linux users) are going to want a Linux PDA. Intertia and installed user base are split between Pocket PC (PPC means Power PC to me) and Palm OS. Consumers and most techies are not going to jump to a much less supported and less understood system simply because it has the words "Linux" in the product description. We are going to go with the software available and ease of use, not whether it is running a buggey OS (more bugs than Windows, if you follow the statistics) whose only benefits are that it is free (which won't matter in the PDA market), is open (most consumers don't rewrite their OS) and is not Microsoft (most people will buy what is easiest to use and performs better, not on theological grounds).
The idea that Microsoft would underwrite SCOs legal fees is parnoid. Microsoft is not about to stick its hand into a legal mess in light of the recent antitrust lawsuit. The idea that MS would do so is paranoid and wishful thinking from the Linux crowd, who cannot imagine that any company other than MS might have a problem with Linux, for one reason or another.
To make our money as less ugly as possible, we should use holograms for the faces in each bill. And maybe some more interwoven foil. Should be at least a few years before people can cheaply print holograms.
That, and I can't imagine a so-called "Smartphone" ever living up to expectations. Perhaps in ten years, but those who think "Smartphones" are a blitzkrieg against PDAs are living in the far future.
The DC server is down, Cannot find server in IE 6.x. I can't imagine that it has been slashdotted already, as this is one of the first posts. What is inetd? Not a network guru, my apologies.
I worked at a Barnes and Noble. Cafe staff, though I was very good at zeroing in on books. Too bad they never put me on the floor. One thing I did notice was that if it wasn't on the NYT Best Seller's List, it had to be ordered. 75% of the books I wanted had to be ordered. Barnes and Noble is not the place to go if you're a maverick.
Linux will never supplant Windows as a desktop OS. Something else, maybe, Linux, no way. There is just too much intertia on so many fronts, and Windows is a damn good OS at this point. Unless MS keeps pulling Licencing 6.0 stunts, I think they will be the standard for at least the next ten or so years.

Wow, so only 9.17 US dollars? Amazing! Or did you mean eight-thousand Euros, not eight and zero one-hundreths? Then it would cost 9,172.90 US dollars.
