Ack! You said "Scheme". I understand that scheme is a great teaching tool (I've taken classes that use it), and that it is extremely well formed for doing things like proving algorithms and such. But when you try to do anything else... I think my girlfriend put it best when she said, "Scheme is like Victoria's Secret. It's supposedly very elegant, but really it's just dirty."

So, the answer to your question is "yes". I'm pretty sure it has both error detection AND error correction built in. I believe that it does so with some sort of extra parity files iirc, but I cannot find an actual site with the RAR file format discussed.:P
Windows XP (the equivalent of OS X in terms of consumer accessibility and reliability), on the other hand, has terrible backwards compatibility, and I find that many, many, many old DOS or even Windows programs will not run...
I rest my case.
There is something to be said for moving on...
Although, you're right in the sense that they shouldn't flaunt it if they ain't got it!
So where is Jennifer Garner in all this?

Sounds like a bad Alias episode to me. "Rambaldi" must have been Incan, I guess. ...although, if Jennifer Garner did the report about this developing news, I might be even more inclined to watch!:)
good thing 47 can be represented with 7 binary digits
So, if the device has a touchpad already, why not just have the user tap the touchpad to do things like mouse clicks? Is it just in order to have more than one button? If so, I really don't see the reason. If the devices are designed to be "cheap" and have a limited life, as most of these posts have been guessing, what application could there be for it that would need more than one button? Games? I would think you could just tap in different areas of the touchpad.
Although, I do remember when Nintendo first came out, and watching many people play, it was apparent that the thought that pressing harder or twisting the controller would make Mario jump higher or move faster. Maybe this is a product of that ideal.

I had heard that AMD was going to be getting out of the workstation processor business. Is this untrue?
