I burned a motherboard like this once.
The difference was I spilled pepsi over the keyboard while playing Monkey Island. A few minutes and a lot of beeps later, I finally gave up trying to play and decided to turn off the PC.
Conclusion: a burned PS/2 port and an option in the BIOS to turn USB keyboard support to ON, but I couldn't get in.:(
What about digital standard def TV?
It's also heavily compressed *and* its resolution is manipulated bringing a blurry picture to your living room.
Even a (good quality) CRT shows plenty of compression artifacts all over the place, *except* in those channels that are being promoted by the operators. (sigh)
I doubt it. The page runs in quirks mode in firefox, IE6 and IE7. The triggers for this mode are already well-defined and adopted by all major browsers. They won't need any effort to keep them working.
The difference that IE8 will bring is that it'll keep the standards mode as default just like firefox does, instead of creating another set of triggers for real standards mode like they were planning to do. Their warnings about having pages breaking all over the place comes from the fact that they know pages written specifically for IE6/IE7 "standards mode" will stop working once they start implementing them properly.
I'm a fan.
I downloaded all of their albums.
I spent a lot of money to watch them live, more than it would cost me to buy the CDs.
I will probably do it again this summer if time permits.
There, that's the business model I'm willing to participate in: do a great gig, show respect for your fans and collect the ticket money.
I think this is more insightful than funny.
The crazy frog commercial is still in my head, weeks after it was replaced by some annoying chick-star.
Nothing beats my imperial march!!
Microsoft wants you to buy a bare system that doesn't do much but is able to be upgraded with more modules that will provide the "everything" he mentions.
Of course, MS will be (already is) in the fore-front of this new market. It's not much different than computer hardware (you can do pretty much everything with it nowadays), but nevertheless the home-theater market is still out of reach for computer hardware/software companies.
I think he means that the DX (or whatever it's called) driver will be running in user mode just like OpenGL drivers do today.
This way, many of the API calls that don't require direct hardware interaction won't be forced to jump from ring 3 to ring 0 everytime they are invoked, thus reducing the call-overhead in DX apps.
Stalinist!=Communist
complete centralised control!=communist
You are making the common mistake of not knowing the difference between totalitarianism and communism.
Others have said it, but I guess you missed it.

It's not resin, but it's also a nice alternative

Because they don't want to?

The site is in quirks mode. It'll still work.

We rightfully own licenses.
So, they may be pissed because you can't spell "brazillians" in english?
I know I was annoyed when I read "portugese" while being portuguese...
Maybe they're pissed because you can't spell portuguese in your own language?

..., it's instead of 12 or 14 digits not bits.
For 12 digits you need at least 40 bits...
