802.11g has a much better range than 802.11b. Read this (pdf). What you want is probably the charts on page 12 and 13. 802.11g offers significant improvements over 802.11b.
Now you're smart, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't percentile refer to the percentage of the population that is better than you? So wouldn't your percentile rank actually be 99.6?
Rabbit ears are a waste of money. Just take a ~10 meter long wire, run it in a circle around the room, and stick it in the hole in the coax jack. I'm watching the simpsons on one of those right now.
DVD-R is the only format that has been approved by the DVD Forum. It has the most hardware available for recording, and it is supported in more DVD drives and DVD players than DVD+R. DVD+R will soon fade from existance. If you want to be safe in the future and you want people to be able to read your DVDs, go with DVD-R.
American currency has always been like that. A $1 bill has about a ¾-cm margin on the back. It's a little less on the front. I don't have a $20 handy, but I'd guess it's very similar.
Well I know I avoid them because they have a tendancy to be a lot pickier about their environment, and they're slower. When there's a C/C++ alternative I take it. The only Java software I use is what comes with DB2, and that makes sense since they need to support it on a wide variety of platforms. For a regular web browser, I don't think Java is ready yet. I can only see this being useful in an HTML rendered embedded in another application.
So are they going to make something like a Java Gecko? That seems more useful than a complete web browser. Nobody wants to do normal web browsing with a Java application. Hell, I don't want to do anything with a Java app unless there's no other option. Sure, developers like it, but end users avoid it like the plague.
Yeah, see, the thing about that is that Linux has a much better interface than most hamsters. It also eats less, is less prone to disease, fits inside most portable devices, has more software, and integrates better with other systems. I would definitely choose Linux over a box of hamsters.
Also, I would refuse to buy any device where the rubber used to make the wire insulation was harvested in Africa. Just a matter of principal.
The USB driver is on the Windows 98 CD, it just decides for some reason not to install it unless you have a USB device plugged in at the time. It seems to me like it would have been reasonable to include it in the default installation, since USB was gaining popularity at that time.
I would say it's better in Windows than in Linux. In Windows XP, my Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer can't use all the buttons, unless I replace the driver for the Logitech mouse. In Linux, I plug in as many mice as I want, and they all work fine. No drivers (besides HID). The camera also has no issues at all. Plug it in, and gphoto detects it. And "gphoto2 -P" is so much easier than spending 5 minutes going through a wizard each time in Windows with Kodak's stupid software. USB is one place where Linux has a definite advantage over Windows. Isn't one of the main points of USB that you do away with seperate drivers?
At the time you typed that, you hadn't actually hit submit. Unless you have a really slow connection and were able to type more before it got sent. I doubt it though. You could have just hit back. It wasn't too late. Just like it's not too late for me now.
Any (consumer) operating system that doesn't come with a USB storage driver is worthless. *cough* Win98 *cough* It doesn't even have the HID driver installed by default.
MediaOne? I thought they were bought out by @Home, which was in turn bought out by ATT, which was just recently bought out by Comcast? (cable services, anyway) Or was that just in my area?
I agree completely. The war just ended recently, and we haven't exactly been able to search while the whole place was a war zone. Once things settle down, we'll be able to do a thorough search, and I assure you that they will find WMDs. Saddam's spent a decade unsupervised, and very pissed at a number of countries, expecially America and Israel. I find it very difficult to believe that he hasn't been spending any time and money on creating weapons. Not to mention, the government would not want to release it right away. First they would conduct a thorough investigation to make sure that what they found really was WMDs, that they were commissioned by Saddam, and that they posed a threat to us or our allies. Furthermore -- OH MY GOD, THEY FOUND WEAPONS! HA, EAT SHIT, LIBERALS!

That's what they originally wanted, but they were afraid they'd be counter-sued into oblivion by then, so they settled for the next best thing.

Don't forget Bork, bork, bork! I'd be lost without that one.
Well, Windows is programmed in C++, so there's no way any of that would be getting into the kernel, no matter who submitted it. But we get your point.
No, Ferrero makes Nutella.

Escher makes my brain hurt. It's so obvious something is wrong, but it's impossible to focus on it. Argh, this makes me want to gouge out my eyes.

Well, actually, I have a Kodak digital camera and Kodak inkjet photo paper. All that's missing is a Kodak compact flash card.

Damnit, it was just fertilizer.
Yeah, I realized that after I downloaded it. The filename was misleading. (Q3AGameSource_117.exe)
