BTW, there's almost ALWAYS other things to code timings against. For starters, there's the video system, which has to run at a fixed speed, or the system won't display anything.
I don't despise their pricing - I despise their user interfaces!
One problem with PDAs is that they often aren't allowed in tests because they can do a hell of a lot more than *insert TI calculator here*, and they're not optimized to BE CALCULATORS.
Of course, I'd have a Z80 core photo on mine if I had one...
After all, I've got a P4 core photo on the lab computer I use in my Data Comm class, a P3 core photo on the Linux testbed network at my high school, and a P1 core photo on my personal desktop (I know it sucks!)
No, it's more like Intel trying to continue development of the 80386 (as in the 80386EX) while the P4 is on the market. It's a whole different market. While the TI-82/83/84 line might have been the pro line when first released, it's been replaced FOR THAT PURPOSE. Think of it another way (ignore the fact that Motorola's selling off their PowerPC division): Motorola has the PowerPCs, so why are they still selling m68k CPUs (the Dragonballs)? Simple, they're used in a different market now.
He's not talking GBC (god no, a Z80 can't emulate a 65816!), he's talking GBA. L & R are DEFINITELY on a GBA. It's only X & Y that are missing.

I thought TI calculators are so popular NOW because they are now what the teachers know - give 'em a TI-83, and they can figure it out. Give 'em an HP calc, and they might not know it. All of the textbooks that mention a graphing calc usually mention the TI-83. It's kinda like Windows - it's not the best for the job (I don't use graphing calcs, but my scientific is a Casio, as I don't like TI's scientific calcs one bit), but everyone uses it.
If a computer isn't my own (and crashing it might cause data loss for someone else), it'll usually try to crash big time on me (BSOD on a 9x/ME box, freeze on a 2K/XP box, etc.) However, doing the EXACT SAME thing on one of my boxes running the SAME software doesn't bring it down.
I just checked, and they didn't give me the link. Of course, I signed up for the account, left, and never updated it again (I have a/. journal if I want to blog...)
BTW, why SSH home and use Lynx when you can CGIProxy over SSL home and use (insert browser that you can use at work), or VNC over SSH and use (insert favorite browser)?
Microsoft because of a possible MS-SCO connection, and Novell because they're claiming that SCO only has a license to UNIX from Novell that can be yanked at any time, and Novell's yanking it, as they back Linux now (after all, what's SUSE now?)
Then my 3.5" floppy drive is a 4" floppy drive, and my 5.25" CD drive is a 4.75" drive? I think not. It's probably more like what a 2.5" floppy drive would be. Note that 2.5" floppies DO exist, but are VERY rare.
Not much, though, if you've got an at all recent video card (even some laptops from 97-98 have MPEG-2 decoding for DVDs). It's the video card that you need to look at as the power drain.
Actually, 5.25" double-density disks have been shown to theoretically last 90 years, and many of these disks have lasted 20+ years IN PRACTICE (I have some 25 year old Apple II disks that STILL work without errors to this day).

That only applies to JetStart. He might have JetStream, which is $20+Telecom fees. Here's the rate schedule for JetStream on the Telecom end: http://www.telecom.co.nz/chm/0,5123,203071-2 02534, 00.html
BTW, before anyone says to bitchslap mods for giving me informative when they MUST have meant funny, look at the/. FAQ, which says that Funny doesn't give you karma. BTW, mods, go ahead and mod it funny - I've got (estimated) Karma 50.

Must suck using a Cyrix-designed 486 to run KDE...
In other words, it's the missing piece in the Linux puzzle for my school. Now, if we can just find a Windows version to ease the migration...
So, use that on a flyer to inform the kids about it, and use this for professional correspondence.
Tell me about it...

Stop hitting Ctrl+Shift+I (AFAIK - I don't use that shortcut), and hit F12, then "Identify as Mozilla 5.0".
Pay $36, and get 100MB e-mail, 100MB web, and 100MB shell instead of 20MB each, and get SMTP access. BTW, they also have IMAP access.
As for non-profit indexing of the web, look to the Nutch project, and Directory Mozilla (aka the Open Directory, which is used as Google Directory).

How 'bout Opera?

WHOA...

Because Windows writes to bad disks, and the chance of a floppy disk living is calculated with this formula (P is probability, T is time):
P = 1/T
That's Windows 98 SE, BTW, unless you only use it with one computer, in which case other versions will work (except ME, which just plain won't work).

Didn't they have docking stations?
Yep: http://www.lowendmac.com/pb/210.shtml
Also, I think those old Macs used internal SCSI drives - you might want to try getting something from a newer Apple laptop.

BTW, if it's in the P3, call it Prosser or something...
