well, as Pentium was a made up word because they couldn't trademark a number... I'm having problems with this "D xxx" business, as it is just so snoozeworthy... so perhaps, they should use "Sexium" instead... the marketing guys could really pull the stops out with the "Sexium" name...
that if you want statistics for running your fantasy league, then you either get a license and pay them for them, or else do the legwork yourself and compile your own stats by putting your own trackers into all the games and doing the number crunching with results you've obtained for yourself... of course, if you try that approach, we'll soon see them claiming copyright in the names of the players...
well, if you're that pedestrian, I'd certainly want for my head to land on the bonnet that's been raised, rather than impacting on an ordinary bonnet and thus hitting a solid engine block...
the ones shown in TFA all had fans... loads of them... and the more powerful the processors being pushed on us (necessary for the incoming HDTV requirements), the hotter they're gonna run, so the more cooling they need... those new chip dies chuck out as much heat as a couple of 100 watt bulbs... so they need cooling, and so do the big power supplies and the high spec graphics cards, and currently, it appears that the quick and dirty solution is to use fans
come on now please, I don't want to hear fans kicking in during a quiet passage of dialogue... where are the cases with passive heatsinks where the sink forms most of the case? fans are just a way of chugging the thing out quickly and cheaply without having to go to the trouble of actually designing a proper solution...
rtfa... all the reviewers are in the UK, the award it is up for is a purely British award (BAFTA)... so you won't have any reviewers who are not based in the UK... the twits who mastered this batch of DVDs probably confused the BAFTAs with the OSCARS, which is a purely region 1 affair when it comes to reviewers.
pity they won't be around in 99 years when your grandkids discover that grandpa's old disc of playboy images pulled down off Usenet won't open... either that, or the gotcha in the warranty is that you must be the original purchaser and have the original receipt and even then, the warranty only covers the cost of replacement media, just like a lot of current ones do
The word you want is intertia or momentum, not brittle. Software does not suffer from osteoporosis. "Help I've crashed and cannot boot up!"
you obviously haven't suffered the mysterious Microsoft registry rot... how a perfectly functional computer one day can completely fail to boot the next day (a Stop 0xC0000218 Error Message is not my idea of a good start to the day)... at least with.ini files in win3.1, I could use edit from the good old DOS prompt to fix it...
If there's really something counterfeit I'd avoid, it's batteries
how certain are you that those new brake pads the shop fitted to your car the other week weren't just compressed cardboard? or that bolt holding the engine in place on the wing of the airplane you're boarding today was really manufactured by one of Boeing's proper suppliers. Those are items currently being counterfeited that really scare me.
he starts out talking about installing modern distros of Linux in comparison with win 2003 and XP
"Microsoft thus decided to test this premise by installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Pro 9.2, Mandrake 10, Linspire 4.5, Xandros Desktop 3.0, Fedora Core 3, Slackware 10.1, Knoppix 3.7; Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 out-of-the-box on older hardware to see what happened."
and then all of a sudden, he's discussing WinCE??? well, if you're going to pull WinCE into the mix (by lumping it in as a modern Windows), then it's perfectly fair to pull Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux and all the other "small" (as in low requirements footprint) distros such as xubuntu as well because they're equally modern Linuxes as well...

picky, bl00dy picky... since when has the pedantic etymology of a word held back the marketing department when their creative juices are flowing?

erm, win98 support got cut a few years ago...

there are, but we're NOT using ms-windows...
surely a contradiction in one word... I think the word we are looking for here is "repeat"...

wow, just think what the electric field gradient is across that baby!!!
like the look of these... (damn, can't link to a particular item... stupid website) wonder what they're like for running Linux on...

plus he gets to write it off against his tax bill...
erm... I had absolutely NO problems at all with my firefox on Ubuntu 5.10...
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)
that this card will be the minimum spec for running Microsoft Flight Simulator X? which by the way has just been announced at CES 2006 as well...
even better, I have a very small USB optical mouse with a retractable cable that I use with my laptop... Kensington make it
so, what you really want is a whacking great big cow-catcher to shove them to one side or the other...
Most excellent link... it actually works. Please Mod him up!!!
