I've argued before that I can only get new users to even consider using linux if the UI is identical to what they have spent time learning yet with the option to modify it. It fell on deaf ears and still does.
I can not get ordinary people to use Linux. The usually exclamation is "Get this crap off my computer so I can use it." not even able to comprehend that they are using a Live CD which won't alter their system.
If it booted and acted like windows, properly worked with all their important files, properly imported emails from outlook, properly worked with the keyboard shortcuts of their windows system then I might have a chance to go on to showing them how to customize it and activate advance features. As it is there is no chance, "It doesn't work"
I did get someone past all of that and they were lost because of pulseaudio's idiocies. If audio had actually worked I'd have had issues with lack of clients for netflix, Hulu blocking 64bit linux and others.
Look up fuel air explosion. Cars only use 20 percent of the energy in gasoline so the battery only needs to supply that much and enough more to overcome the systems inefficiencies.
Tough, that's the way the system works. The store for some reason does not want to do this and someone comes in and buys the book from them so they make their profit and the purchaser then resells it and makes him a profit. I see no problem with this. I've done something similar by knowing what will sell in advance. Knowing a glass container is a civil war antique or that a vinyl album will sell on http://www.vinylexchange.com/ or that a skillet is a rare Wagnerware...
I shall make a special trip to our local thrifts and used book stores and look for science fiction books to take to the next local con to sell at a PROFIT, that it pisses you off is a bonus.
We're buying HP PC's for under 400 that have enough power for me to run our bloatware (150meg ram) all in one company management software, VMWare running 98 with legacy tools, dosbox running even more decrepit legacy tools. Several spreadsheets, a remote desktop to the hideously decrepit 98 machine running legacy software that requires access to a custom 16 bit card and another program that needs access to a custom PCI card. Various in circuit programming tools from Lattice, Phillips, Microchip, Altera, Atmel our own engineers psychotic in circuit programming tools. Oh and we're running outlook.
It's running 32bit XP Pro and has 3gig, don't recall the model but it's an HP business PC.
If you've watched enough of Gunsmoke to matter you'll see some of the parallels between it and Firefly.
Firefly is well written but it can be confusing at the start. It is post civil war fiction with some science fiction elements thrown in. It tried to be a cross dressing genre bender mixing some scifi elements with western elements. Since westerns do not sell now, the pretty makeup convinced Fox to buy it.
Then it seems Fox had a mental breakdown trying to figure out what to do with it. Fox has and continues to be crab hammering dickbags when it comes to killing good shows.
Google has made a change and now locks up firefox so that you cannot do anything, even go to another tab, until the search is complete. I suppose I should look at greasemonkey or something.
There are plugins for TCL/TK, basic, etc, try getting them adopted without being world nuclear dictator,
That's actionable, you should check and see if a hungry shark...er lawyer can cobble up a class action suit for all the other people they've done that to and force attorney's fees and a full refund.
They went to some effort to convert the pressure to something large.
They could have said 10,587.7549 pounds per square inch and sounded American.
They could have said 73 atmospheres and sounded wimpy.
And I think if you do it in Cobols you have to divide pascals by the weight of Cobol programs when printed out on green bar in the Cobol probrams history to 1995. That's a measly.05 Cobols. Now that we have conflicting definition for a Cobol when used as a unit of pressure can we get an SI uint and call it Bocobol with Bibibocobols Chibibocobols and Mibibocobols?
If energy can be converted to matter then the cost of the energy is the price. It would make gold, silver, lead and other mater cost the amount of energy it takes to create them.
So this will remove TV/CableTV ads that are popups,slide ups, slime downs, splats, drools, crawls, spits, etc but won't remove the BLARING DAMNED AUDIO. Huh some unreality generator that is.;)
If someone comes out with a working internal stereo speaker in a cell phone it would be better than the crap that's in the ones I've tried. Best so far is the Samsung Vibrant *if* you want to make a resonance chamber for it.
Many of Sony's consumer products are made by third parties. When they finally lost face and gave up on betamax they farmed out VHS VCRs to another company, yet another does their alarm clock/radios, smaller Sony TV's started getting farmed out in the late 90s. In about 2001 I went into some big box store and not one Sony TV jumped out at me like they used to do. The quality had been pissed away.

Probably was trying to use it but was crippled by the Blender UI.

Agreed, when you take all the science out you have a Dallas, Gunsmoke or Firefly.

I'm not IT but the sewer from here may run down there considering how badly they smell when they visit.

Website is down. It looked as if they were going to do an online version.
It's called the "Goonies" effect.
Lattice has the Brevia dev kit for $29
http://www.latticesemi.com/products/developmenthardware/developmentkits/xp2breviadevelopmentkit.cfm
1 Mbit SPI Flash Memory, 1 Mbit SRAM, jtag, serial, etc
I'm just getting started with FPGA and do not know if this has the horsepower but it's cheap.
It's so vivid and lifelike.

/dev/random does something like this by using environmental noise
You are hysterical! A mega coupled with a real FPGA perhaps.
Google now does this in real time. 38.8911 -77.0106
