Today's cheap LCD's don't suffer from most of those problems. Dead pixels is another story, but even then if a certain number are bad the manufacturer exchanges it for you.
Of course if you consider 1280x1024 at 18" dia. to be low resolution then you need your eyes checked anyway.
Why don't you actually try it out instead of complaining about it?
My HP laptop(P2 400mhz 128mb ram just to age it for you) at work blurs when viewing images, and browsing pages. My Apple Powerbook, and NEC 18" (both brand new)displays work beautifully, for playing quake, HL2, etc.
So why don't you try it out. Technology is always changing, and improving. Last year's model might of sucked, but this year's might be great.
And how do you know it's a temperature anomaly, instead of say a natural rise and fall in the planets temp? You are judging the entire planet's weather on a 100 years of data. At the last birthday party I attended for mother nature she said she was some 4 billion years old.
That's like saying you were a lean child and can't figure out why your fat now.
the earth is constantly changing. slowly over time. What happened when the asteroid took out the dinosaurs? The earth recovered from that. It will recover from us. If it has to kill us to do so then so be it. We are way over populated for this planet anyway.
Besides all of that, we will run out of fossil fuels in another hundred years anyway. After that we won't have to worry about global warming. As we won't be putting them into the air anymore.
firefox 1.03 and OS X10.3 I could leave the browser running non-stop, for weeks.
I upgraded to tiger 10.4 and firefox 1.03 and 1.04 both need restarts every other day. The system slows way down, with a spinning beach ball, but I can force quit it and restart in seconds to clean up the mess.
I have been using safari but don't like how it deals with bookmarks.
It's been going on for Decades. The internet has ony made it visiable to end consumers.
Ask any retail/wholesale warehouse. Where I work we have 6 primary levels of pricing. The last two are never touched. they are cost plus 10% and cost plus 20% and are used as pricing markers. The others vary depending on product, with 10 different discount matrices dealing with a percentage off a predetermined price.
Consumer who walks in and buys a once gets one price.
Business who walks in and buys once a year with a tax exempt form gets another.
Business/or person who have a charge account gets a different level.
Business/person who s in the store buying monthly gets the best pricing.
Some items this doesn't work for, others we can't make 5% on to stay competitive.
A business needs a lot of sales to make enough to stay in business. But discounts to large buyers(or buyers you hope to lure back) isn't un heard of. If your just realizing this, I have to wonder about the educational system. This goes back for a long time. Most of the time it isn't spoken about to everybody. of course anyone who goes to stores with local charge accounts have heard about it.
General road signs are not very accurate. The tenth mile makers are close though.
How do I know General road signs aren't accurate? I once passed a sign that said 30 miles to City. I drove a mile, made a turn on to a side street to get gas. coming out of the gas station i saw another sign at that intersection that said 33 miles to City.
So at least one sign was 4 miles off.
I usually go by time and average speed. I then test againist signs i pass on routine long distance trips. If the sign says 30 miles to go, and I am travel 60mph I should be there in 30 minutes. and For the most part I am.
Because 90% of the answers you get will come from google. Some tech reads your question, opens a new tab searches google for 10-20 seconds and posts the relvant information.
A ultra light helicopters/plane/submarine is possible.
It wouldn't go down very far. maybe a 150 feet or so but that is fifteen stories. Heck divers can free dive that far with out oxygen tanks. Remember a lot of small subs are built out of aircraft grade Aluminium. The big difference is propulsion. pitch, yaw, roll all still work the same in concept. hence http://www.deepflight.com/subs/dfa.htm
Second. The ending of humanity is a given. We are going to die out if we don't leave this planet for other ones. This universal truth has been known for millenea. Whether or not you can accept itis part of just how smart you are. heck it's even in the bible that the world ends. The only two questions are when and How? those can't be answered until the day of. Sorry that's just life.
Geez those those failed history are doomed to relive it. Stalin centralized everything, and kept it for himself. Socialists don't limit it to one person. Tony blair can be kicked out of office.
Hitler wanted everybody but blond haired, blue eyed people dragged out into the street and shot. he considered the USA's treatment of native indians a good move, just without enough force.
I am driving to Canada see you at the end of the world Bash. Why Canada nobody every thinks to invade Canada.
CD's you buy (music, games,etc) are coated with a thin film. It increases durability and life of the disc, as well as making it harder to scratch.
CD's you burn personally don't last because they don't have the final coat.
We can make substances that completely block specific wavelengths. What is needed is a substance that is completely transparent to specific wavelengths of lasers.( IE if you place this material between the laser and the target the laser passes completely through.
Or a two way mirror style. with the read points built into the inside of the device, and the Laser shoots through with the data being sent out from the shell.
heck i would even go so far as make the drives have 3 partitions of identical storage.
What is needed is a durable shell. modern storage works on the surface of the medium. Why can't we manpulate an inner layer? Even if the two layers are seperated by the few nanometers. Think Bablyon 5 data crystals, or Star Trek isolinear optical chips. Data is stored in a matrix surrounded by a more durable structure.
What is needed is a semi-hard material that is always transparent to the laser reader/writers. That way the outside milimeter would need to be scratched off before damage could be done.
only for AAC files. of which I have ~10 out of ~1700 songs. And the only reason why i bought those was because I drink pepsi, and got a bunch of free songs.
Now I will keep my eye on Hymn and see if I can strip the drm from them straight.
Two big points. Relational databases are slow at accessing data quickly. IE it's fast enough for web browsing but do you want your game to have a few milisecond lag, so it can load up a character?
Second who controls the networked resources? What happens when you use linux as a file server and Windows on one desktop and a Mac on the other?
It can sometimes be a pain keeping Mac metadata together when transfering files on non-mac FS. what happens when Windows has it's own setup.
You know they aren't going to be compatible or work together without lot's of overhead right?
>>With proper coding, performance for something like Photoshop might be fabulous, but I doubt it would be efficient for general-purpose computing.
Of course with a Pentium 3 being overkill for 90% of the everyday tasks of running web browser, Office, etc what purpose does more have?
You do need those vmx units though to real time, video encoding/decoding, image manipulations, Better sound modulation, all at the same time.
in other words with you can do more real time video conferencing on a cable modem. Through in a scalable video size and your good to go. Oh wait what Apple working on for Quicktime 7?
I did an upgrade install and I haven't had any problems, other than isync 2.0, and Dictionary weren't installed. A second upgrade did install them though.
Spotlight works beautifully. I had to swap a few icons(the old system preference panel kept coming up) but no real problems.
I have got to agree. i just downloaded the www.neooffice.org spotlight plugin. It indexs all of my Open Office files.
I can type in a sentence from one of those files and it pops right up. I often find myself knowing part of a quote but not the filename where the rest of the quote is located. I type it in. and there it is.
Indexing took literally minutes on my powerbook, and just a few hundred open Office files.
My biggest compaliant is that it looks like Apple took MSFT fisher price colour scheme for it.

make sure you don't let google search it or it might be come known.
Um you are asking for game builders to think? That ain't gonna happen, but C&C year 2011 gold edition will be on schedule.
I mean come on when was the last major game with a new take on gameplay? most are either role-play, or FPS.
The only mix left to do is to create a First Person Perspective Sims.
Remember! BSD = sharing is not theft, GPL = not sharing is theft.
That is simply beautiful. Mind if I add it to my collection of quotes? It simply describes both licenses.
Hence the very reason for the GPL.
You can share your software with the world, but companies who modifiy it have to give that code back.
Everyone wins.
You should randomize that a bit. for sake of easy memory try this one
1.....2....3...4..5.
I mean doesn't eveyrbody use three periods in between their numbers?

Cell chip, PowerPC core with 8 secondary processors.
Altevic on steroids.
Second, Apple uses small chips for other products. The airport base station once used 486 chips, and currently uses embeded AMD chips.
