You mean the entire cooling mechanism inside the chip right? I mean, I need a jet engine to keep my Prescott at reasonable temp under load. Somehow doubt the Postscott is gonna run on passive cooling (which would be, literally, cool, tho).
Well, I'm not sure which version of IE I tried (used some wintendo box at work) but as long as there are older IE-versions in use that don't support even 1-bit transparency I see no point in deploying transparent pngs. Unless you don't care about IE-users at all.
Last time I tried it didn't. Does it need some kind of sick css-kludge or something?
I eventually went back to.gif and expect to stick with them for another few years. Just don't want my visitors to see ugly blocks where it's supposed to be transparent. - No matter what broken version of IE they happen to be using...
Yuck, yet another experimental backup product. Since I've tried an Onstream drive I know why people go with proven technology (DLT/DAT) for serious stuff. The higher capacity per medium sounds nice but after all it's reliability what counts. And before this thing has been time-tested for like 5yrs I'm not gonna put anything valuable on it.
Also for portable storage a plain old 2.5" USB-drive should do the trick without driver hassles and at full speed.
What does it say about the underlying code when an application sold for money in 2004, running on a 2GHZ, 1GB Ram machine fails to support more than 65536 rows in a spreadsheet app?
The == operator - quite consistently - tells you whether you're looking at two references to the same object. I personally find it quite useful and pretty obvious, don't you?
Any good mail client will take care of highlighting quoted text. Be it italics, colors or whatever else the recipient prefers.
HTML-Mail basically forces you to see what the sender wants you to see. But since that simply doesn't work (different clients have different ideas of how to render the same mail) you'd rather use PDF for that purpose - or many of your recipients will only see garbled paragraphs, unexpected linewraps, ugly fonts and broken/misplaced images.
Sorry, but I don't get why you're bashing him. At my former job we had a fiberline that was superficially capped at 2mbit. If we had asked our ISP could have upgraded us up to 155mbit at any time only by changing a setting on their router.
I see no technical reason why there couldn't be a "push here for speed"-button on customer-routers if fiber connections would become widespread and affordable in the future.
I also see no reason why that wouldn't happen. Actually a large part of the city I am living in has full fiber-coverage already - just not many affordable offers for fiber-at-home, actually I don't know of a single one.
I'm pretty sure to see it happen though, maybe when hardware prices for fiber-equipment come down a bit.
No, it's more like carpenters complaining about hammers that have a builtin coin-slot and electroshocker. Whenever you want to use one of these you must insert a coin first - or you'll be buzzed.
The majors. These figures certainly make pretty pies'n'bar charts for the suits. A downloaded song doesn't mean much, a burned song does. Even a suit can grasp that (well, the smarter ones).
Well, unless they raise the bar significantly it seems to be not restrictive at all. I mean how many of the Joe Users out there need more than 7 copies? And if you really do you'll probably take the time to figure out how easy it is.
Most people that I have dealt with do actually blame what they see on their screen. If the error is presented by Reals software and Apples works fine then they'll assume it's Reals fault.
I don't think Apple is worried about stuff "breaking" on ipod (we all know how ridiculously unlikely that is) but have rather chosen to protect their defacto-monopoly.
Why would I want my machine to talk to a windows box? I couldn't care less what's on the other end. If a host can't take the heat it probably shouldn't try to play server...

IE _DOES_ support indexed transparency.

Bwahaha Excel.

Yea right, 64k ought to be enough...

I want a friggin $editor-plugin so I can finally replace these annoying, uncomfortable textareas with my editor of choice.

Maybe you need some ScreenClean?

Yes!

Why should they share when they don't have to?
You can also just burn it once and then duplicate the disc using your fav burning software as often as your heart desires.
But what does that mean in terms of TCO?
Will I have to pay double taxes when I have a copy of my life?
then you can't talk to them either, anyway...
