I've spent 8+ hours a day staring at computer monitors for the past 6 or 7 years, and my vision has not been affected. Sometimes I will notice fatigue though, after getting up and going outside after staring at a monitor for hours. This lasts only for a few minutes.
If the manufacturers would focus on shipping more complete products, instead of shipping buggy getting their product out as soon as possible to meet some deadline, and using the mass market as beta testers, then there would be no problem.
This might work sometimes. But if you've seen my customer's computers. 50% of them are littered with cigarette smoke-dust. This pretty much masks any other smell.
I also work there as a service technician. The version of PC Certify we are "supposed" to use is about 5 years old! (Just a warning to anyone that takes their computer there for repair). If I remember correctly, it also will not recognize the full capacity of larger hard drives. I've found that diagnostic software is almost useless when it comes to diagnosing hardware problems. With the exceptions being memtest86, spinrite, and hard drive manufacturer's own diagnostic utilities. I use aida32 for identifying drivers for unknown hardware, and PE builder a lot for using chkdsk to fix "unmountable boot volume" blue screens on 2000/XP machines.
What are those 3 cd's you use? I couldn't find your email address.
I actually prefer cable over a satellite reciever. The channels you get with cable depend on what area you live in. In my area (Tampa Bay) we have Bright House (formerly Time Warner). I like the channel selection with cable a lot better than that of DirecTV (satellite). DirecTV has a limited selection of premium movie channels like HBO. Cable in my area has many more HBO and other movie channels, so it suits my tastes better. The prices are similar to DirecTV.
Picture/Sound quality is similar on both. With cable in my area, the first 100 channels are analog, and the rest are digital. Picture quality is good enough on both modes. You are NOT going to get DVD quality picture on any kind of broadcast medium currently on the market (with the exception of maybe HD channels), so keep that in mind. I do notice a lot more digital pixelization with DirecTV though, which is a bad thing on larger TV's. In Florida, where it rains a lot, you WILL lose the signal on DirecTV during the rain. Happens a lot during the summer. This is not a problm with cable.
Both cable and DirecTV have DVR boxes available integrated into the reciever. Both also have HD channels (depends on where you live if you are using cable). I would actually prefer using secondary PC as a DVR box to eliminate the extra monthly fees.
You mentioned you wanted NASA TV. I don't think its available in my cable service area, but check yours.. It is available on DirecTV, but it is on a different satellite than the mainstream channels. To get NASA TV, you will need either one of those new elliptical dishes, and a new reciever (any made in the past two years should be fine). Either that, or get two dishes, and one of them will have to be pointed in a different angle.
The only other real advantage to DirecTV is that it is very hackable if you have one of the older smart cards.
This is very true..NET wasn't even available until recently. In other words..
If your target audience is using Win98, and they don't want to download the.NET framework, then.NET is not right for you. Can't really be mad at Microsoft for requiring a 24+MB framework download that was not even available until the WinXP days.
If your software company is distrubuting CD's, you can always put the framework on CD and install it with the app. It is a redistributable component per the EULA.
I beg to differ. Yeah the first year models had some problems with rust on the front quarter panel. A very minor flaw.. These cars last forever, and require very little maintenence, even in 2004. My 1978 will last another 10 years easily.
MS had plenty of legal leg to stand on - see Nissan Computer Corp versus Nissan Motors of America. Heck the guy had been using the Nissan company name BEFORE Nissan Motor Corp even changed its name.
Think about it - if all you speak is broken english how would you spell Microsoft. MikeRoweSoft is tangible.
I don't think homophones apply to trademark. In the Nissan case, there is a difference. Nissan was spelled Nissan.. No where in "MikeRowSoft" is the word "Microsoft" contained.
Just because it *could* be mistaken by someone who doesn't know proper english does not matter one bit. The site was not representing itself as microsoft in any way. Any sane person would know this.. As far as the law is concerned, they would be considered handicapped. I don't think handicap laws apply here.
When Gigantic Corporation USA tries the same shit and MSFT tries taking them to court, they would be able cite the MikeRoweSoft.com case. I think that MSFT lawyers would have a hard time telling the court "well, in that other case, you'd have to be an asshole to confuse the two".
They wouldn't be able to site the MikeRoweSoft.com case as precedent, because it was settled out of court and there was no verdict.
That is true. Developers like the XBOX because it's based on common PC (x86) architecture, and uses DirectX. There are plenty of tools already out there. And porting something from Windows to XBOX is a trivial task. Gamecube on the other hand is designed for gaming from the ground up, and not as many tools available for it.. It can do some kick ass graphical things in hardware that even the best video cards for the PC can't even do.
It shouldn't take longer to read 64 bits than 32 on a 64 bit architecture. Theoretically, a 32 bit machine will read 32 bits on a number of clock cycles, and a 64 bit machine should read 64 bits on the same ammount of clock cycles. This doesn't necessarily mean faster execution times on 64 bit though. A lot of it depends on the compiler, and the OS.
Also, if you just rebuild a an application that was designed around 32 bit in 64 bit mode, you probably aren't going to notice an improvement (if any at all).
I noticed the article used GCC, which probably hasn't caught on with 64 bit yet.. I'm pretty sure SUN has their own compiler, which probably would produce better 64 bit code than GCC on a SUN box.
The case sensitivity is just natural. It is not really something that was implemented. In fact, case insensitivity is what would have to be implemented.
Warcraft 3 doesn't use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys for storing settings.. It does use the program files folder for storing and saving games and data files though, when it should use the user's "application data" folder instead..
Check out the cryptophone. http://www.cryptophone.de/ May not meet exactly the criteria the original poster is looking for, but definately a hacker friendly phone nonetheless. Has strong encryption, not the pseudo encryption used on most wireless phones. Works over GSM and both parties must have this type of phone.
It is the best (and heaviest) monitor I have ever owned. I got it for about $300 on eBay. They costed around $1100 new.
I am almost positive that it is the same internally as the $1900 Sony GDM-F500R, (The OSD Menus are almost exactly the same) although the published specifications of the SGI branded model are underestimated.
Even with the complete enclosures, it's still not a good idea to swap them out without shutting down first,unless your controller hardware supports hot swap.
Not sure if it shorts it out per say, but I've connected power cables a lot in running systems. Half of the time it works fine, and half the time the power supply will just shut itself down and you have to wait a few minutes to turn the computer back on.
There is only a small chance of losing data.. Unplugging an IDE hard drive from a working system is no different than having a power outage. Before I got a UPS, I had power outages all the time and never lost any data. All that will happen is Windows XP will freeze up for a few minutes, then you will get a notification of unsafe removal of device.
If you plug a hard drive into a working system, however, I have gotten unpredictable results.
I have had good luck with the USB drives mentioned earlier.. Most of these are standard IDE drives inside a box that converts it to USB. If you have Windows ME or later, you will not even need drivers. You can also just buy the USB cradle seperately and supply your own drive.

Until they remove DRM. Don't let them control what you can do with your files.

Maybe now somebody will port Internet Explorer on linux.
Same thing with the TI-8x series of graphing calculators. 1980's techonlogy but still costing $90 or more.

I own the patent on site.. so you cannot use the word cite, as somebody might confuse the two... See you in court

I use a 21" SGI GDM-5411 Manuf in 2000.
It is the best (and heaviest) monitor I have ever owned. I got it for about $300 on eBay. They costed around $1100 new.
