Back at uni, I fall into the latter crowd. Rather than spend a grand on a laptop with a stunning retina screen, I indulged in recycling. I picked up a 3GB Core 2 Duo laptop for $50 (plus $25 for a new battery). It does all I need. When the semester finishes, to provide a performance boost I'll upgrade to an SSD, which will cost more than the laptop! Sourcing DDR2 SO-DIMMs larger than 1GB may be trickier and they're not useful in a newer machine.
A big limitation is the fan noise. I'd much prefer a quieter experience, so I'd definitely check out a Core M.
The next factor driving sales of new machines will be the GPU. 'Full HD' TV drove the rise of affordable 1080 monitors and the same thing with happen with 4K.
Bob Hawke and Jay Weatherill want to build a nuclear waste dump but there's no suggestion in the report released on Friday that there's any urgency to embrace nuclear power. The NIMBYs have killed that idea stone cold except for a few maverick Liberals.
Dr James Jansson of the Science Party is the only one seriously floating nuclear technology as a climate change busting option in this forthcoming election. I'm hardly pro-nuke but I welcome his pragmatic boldness on the matter - having Nick X and the black wiggle holding the balance of power isn't necessarily optimal; the more diversity of opinion in the senate the merrier.
Yes exactly. But that was the deal - 1 year to freely upgrade. Afterwards, pay us.
Maybe download the updater ISO that includes a valid Win10 install key for your device, without installing it. Possibly it'd still be valid to install after the July window, even if you apply it in a year or two.
(I remember having to apply the November 10586 build over the top of the July 10240 build because the update process was broken, so I wonder what'll happen about the "anniversary update". If it's broken or they start charging it'll give me an excuse to replace the HDD with an SSD to put debian on it. But this laptop only cost $50 to begin with!)
That sounds like a very low birth rate. Perhaps they're factoring in a bunch of senior citizens who own multiple vehicles that won't be driving in 19 years time.
Ramping up production - any plans to manufacture in Australia? You'd have your choice of factory and a monopoly on production once Ford, General Motors and Toyota all exit the market in a year or two, meaning lots of skilled, unemployed workers.
Add a possible change of government come July, keen to transition to a "low carbon" future where electric vehicles haven't made much of a dent yet.
Any fancy software that displays information on a client PC and feeds clinical data into a patient records system should be epiphenomenal to the operation of the equipment.
But it seems like the hardware may have forgone having an embedded display and on-device control of the essential features, delegating those to a pc terminal.

Say what?

That's not what I'm saying.
Yes, Pentium MMX was definitely a thing.
But the Pentium Pro (P6) came out earlier and didn't have those MMX instructions. So the Pentium II was its successor (P6) with MMX support.
timeline:
Pentium (P5) -> Pentium Pro (P6) -> Pentium MMX (P5) -> Pentium II (P6, with MMX)
HTML parsing isn't such an issue as the Javascript-heavy sites that advertisers track you with.
I haven't tried Noscript on a 486, mind you!
They did?
I thought they were just dropping their smartphone Atom SoCs.
The Quark is a completely different chip.
Intel currently has the P5-compatible Quark/Curie platform, jumping on the arduino train.
In any case, Debian would be too heavy given the lack of RAM.
ahem, pentium pro, late 1995.
The main difference was that the Pentium II added MMX.
The Pentium Pro, which they're supposedly keeping, is a 20 year old 32bit architecture. Not long enough?

.84 car ownership? far out!

Sure, why not?
GRUB runs just as smoothly using uefi than via a 'legacy' bios, at least on my hardware.
Sounds like an nvidia problem? (check the drivers?)
Patty and Selma?
Well at least Weatherill and Turnbull have asked the question, I guess.
I'd suggest with our sunny climate Tesla would make a killing on locally made Powerwall batteries if the government weren't so blinded by coal.

Right hand drive vehicles for the UK market...
Is it just a coincidence that in the same week the imaginary creator of this imaginary currency was 'unmasked'?
Or maybe Satoshi Wright's mad ramblings this week were just a stunt to generate publicity for this new service...

Moon Unit Zappa, who recorded the song Valley Girl back in 1982 with her dad, is now 48.
But I guess that's ok, he did invent the internet in Australia, LOL.
You're kidding, right? C is redundant and can be replaced by a K or an S. Its only practical use is in the digraph 'ch'.
Although in terms of influence, Penny and her pet dog did most of the work.
Rumour is they've replaced Siri with a hard light hologram of Kristine Kochanski.
President Trump's brilliant plan to address climate change.
Boris Johnson's Brexit plan involves a 4 country free migration zone with our 2 countries, NZ and the UK.
So there'd be no reason you can't buy a second house in South Australia. Travelling between them might accelerate global warming though.
The cleverer plants are tasty. Animals will ingest their seed and thus the plants' children will migrate to wherever the animals go.
