F-u-d. WinMobile is API-compatible with Windows, so "all you need is a recompile".
Wrong any non trivial Windows desktop application cannot be recompiled for windows mobile as windows mobile implements only a very limited subset of the full Win32 API.
Ok wrote a C++ version in less then two hours. It's currently 78 lines, could make it shorter but it would decrease readability. However it is fast... 100x100 starting in upper left in about 10 msec (Core 2 Duo 2.4 single threaded). Even 10000x10000 in less then a second. Which probably means that of that 10 ms for a 100x100 most is actually startup time and print time.
Actually some days ago on/. there was an article about speeding up the boot process of linux. However it seemed they had achieved booting the full Linux OS in five seconds on an Asus EEE PC which is way better then booting some very limited functionality in eight seconds.
Maybe because western digital is a harddrive manufacturer, not a flash memory manufacturer. They do not have the know how to make flash chips they could buy them but it would be hard to compete against the manufacturers that bake their own flash memory.
Actually 6 bit panels with temporal dithering are something of the last couple of years. Older panels from before the response time craze are often fully 8-bit per channel.
The problem is most often the use of an analog (VGA) connection instead if a digital (DVI-D) connection. As especially with cheaper videocards the analog signal is not completly stable most LCD-monitors contain filters to compensate this. However this still does result in a slightly blurred image or in worse cases slight flickering. Some very old S3 videocard at work cannot display a fully stable image on a LCD screen their signals are far to unstable which confuses the monitor.
I also have seen some cheap panels where the backlight was flickering (some Acer models).
The amount of contrast between the text and the background has to be right. Unfortunatly not all monitors have the same contrast. On most modern monitors white on black or black on white is to much contrast so a dark gray on white or light gray on black works very well in most cases. On some cheap gear you might need the full black white contrast. Especially in a very light room.
Do not use contrasting colors for the for- and background only use a difference in brightness. The worst possible combination is red and blue because the difference in diffraction your eye is not capable of seeing them both sharp at the same time. Use colours that are close together on the rainbow. Also avoid purple because it is made by mixing red and blue which causes the same problem.
Especially on CRT's when flickering can be a problem a dark background tends to be less tiring on the eyes because a dark backgrounds flickers less.
I think Leopard is a great improvement over tiger. In the allmost one year 1 have used tiger it has crashed several times and was often unresponsive there actually was a time I thought I had made the wrong choice by switching to apple but I decided to give them one more change with Leopard. Well I am glad I did, I took the trouble of doing a clean install of Leopard to make sure any troubles I had with tiger wouldn't follow me to Leopard. Since I run Leopard I haven't had a single crash and it is in general much more responsive. With Tiger I always felt my the four cores of my Mac Pro were being held back but with Leopard they are really on the prowl.
He wasn't lying according to this overview he was just very good at suggestion a large market share which they obviously don't have. Notice linux is allready ahead of microsoft.
Word processors have had such features for years. They are called styles. If you apply to each chapter title the same style and later change the style all the chapter titles will be changed immediatly. You can even couple things like chapter numbers to such styles.
The most important thing to add to the rotational latency is the time required to position the head above the right track. This easily doubles the seek time.
The monitor shouldn't be handling DVD upscaling, it's done in software.
Not exactly correct. Video scaling is in most cases done using the overlay of the videocard. This overlay is scaled in hardware to the desired size. So it isn't done by the monitor and it isn't done in software.
OS independant device drivers sounds like a big plus to me.
That explains why Microsoft doesn't support it. Driver support can often be a problem with other OS's. When all OS's could use the same driver Microsoft would loose their advantage.
You can only mix large amounts of CO2 with water under pressure, if you leave a bottle of carbonated water open for some time allmost all CO2 will dissappear from the water.
You cannot mix hydrogen with diesel. Hydrogen is a gas. An other method (mentioned in the FA) would be to have a hydrogen tank but there are no tank stations for hydrogen so the only option left is making it along the way.
This EIZO has very accurate colour rendition. What I like about EIZO is that they not try to cheat their customers with the latency specs. They give the average latency not the ISO latency which would have been considerable better. Unfortunatly its a bit expensive
While you are at tomshardware page, you might find this latency graph of the viewsonic VX924 interesting.
To conclude firefox has three unpatched advisories of which the most severe is less critical. IE has nineteen unpatched advisories of which the most severe is highly critical. Notice that actually IE had more advisories both patched and unpatched.
It's another myth that aluminum cases are lighter - that may be true by a half pound or so, but when you're talking about 40 lbs. vs. 39.5 lbs. in a fully loaded PC, I don't think that much matters either. Your PC's innards don't magically get lighter just because you bought an aluminum case.
The difference is a bit more that half a pound. I have an aluminium AOpen A600A case and my father has the H600B which is very similar in build quality, size, features and is made from steel. Both include the same PSU. The A600 is 15.28 lbs. / 6.93 kg against 20.0 lbs./9.1 kg for the B600. Thats allmost a 5 pound difference.
...for, I dunno, *this* page, which still doesn't render right in Firefox.
I have seen statements like these a lot on Slashdot but I use FireFox and I see nothing wrong with the pages. Maybe its just that I do not know how it should look. However it looks allmost the same as in Konqueror accept for some slight differences in fonts, different form looks and the adds which do not appear in firefox thanks to adblock. Can someone show whats wrong with slashdot pages in firefox?

I can dream of a dual cpu mobo with a pair dual core FX??
You can dream but your dreams would be much more likely to come true if you made it two dual core opteron's.
No read this.
Are that long scale or short scale billions? Large scale is 10^12, short is 10^9.

I think it was Corel Draw that was released as a Java port a bunch of years ago.
You've got it partly right, it was Corel but the application was WordPerfect.
