With all the companies trying to make 100$ netbooks, you'd think that at least one company should be able to come out with an eBook reader for well under 100$ with the following features (in no particular order): - e-Ink display, paperback size - at least 1 week of operating battery life (1 month standby) - USB storage device (no OS requirements) - PDF/JPEG/PNG viewer (even if it's grayscale) - at least 4GB of storage
Yes, my Radeon 9600XT is an AGP card. And when Doom 3 came out, I wasn't about to upgrade my whole PC (new motherboard means new CPU, new RAM and new graphics card) just for one stupid game.
Just because you had high-end hardware at the time doesn't mean everyone also had it.
Even with all options turned off/at their lowest settings, my Radeon 9600XT was barely able to manage acceptable framerates in 1024x768 (no FAA either).
And I don't mean 120FPS either, the game was crawling under 10FPS in lots of areas. And yes I had enough system RAM too, if that's what you're wondering.
I'm not so sure about that. Don't forget that Apple switched to Intel processors AND a Unix core for their new OS. Today's Macs have little relation to a old PPC Mac running OS 9.
People who use Windows -most people who use Windows- don't know jack shit enough about computers to explain what's good or what's bad about the way MS does things.
There's also the fact that YouTube is now using H.264 as their standard video format. The iPhone/iPod touch simply has access to the video files directly without the need for a useless Flash wrapper.
While it specifications are excellent (it has my requirements of supporting H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-1, MP3 and AAC), its 2 GiB of storage makes it a poor choice for me. I'm pretty sure the price would double (if not more) if I tried to upgrade it to 16 GiB to match the capacity of my iPod touch.
Not to mention that it's nearly twice the weight of my iPod touch (I keep it in my shirt pocket), and probably won't sync as easily with my Mac mini.
I'll keep the N810 in mind, though, if people ask me about such devices.
Seriously, if all you need to do with a laptop is surf websites, then an iPod touch is better since it fits in your pocket when you're not using it. It also has email, Google Maps and YouTube. No it doesn't have a real mechanical keyboard, it doesn't have IM (yet), the screen isn't as big and the browser doesn't support Flash.
A small laptop may be more powerful and allow you to install other applications without limitations, however if you don't always carry it with you it doesn't really matter.
If it can't fit in my pocket, I'm not carrying it around "just in case".
The comma isn't at the right place. Once corrected, however, it's still extremely low, especially for such a high-performance electric car, at $10,900.
And you ommited to quote the relevant section for his argument:
require the activation of the term 'Orion' as negative keywords or negative adwords in any internet advertising purchased or used.
Techpawn's argument (the way I understand it) is that lawyers could have a field day with this one since the judgment specifically said "negative" in their two examples.
They could put ads with Yahoo!, get sued again and say in court "Your honor, Yahoo! does not offer negative keywords, negative adwords or the like."
Emphasis on "negative whatever" is the point of the argument here. And don't forget that lawyers love to play with words, that's their job.

Dear AC,

please post the exact same thing in every thread (preferably first post), so that other ACs can't write that in dozens of replies.

Newman!

It's not able being able to "beat the game", it's about the game beating out my PC into the dirt with its extreme requirements.
Well, if they didn't think of it, I do hope they'll read your post.
That would be at least as funny as Blizzard adding the secret cow level in Diablo 2.

Yes, and it adds the wooden rabbit font, too.

We're doomed! Doooooooooo-oooooooomed!
It's just the end of the Internet, not the end of the Universe.

Non-MMORPG games requiring servers is just plain frightening.
I thought the HD-Zebras went extinct but the Blu-Zebras survived.

Oups, you're the one who removed a zero at the end. My reply isn't valid at all.

I was merely referring to what you and Techpawn said (and the slashdot blurb). No need to resort to actual facts. ;)
That, and you know how lawyers like to twist words and sentences.
Techpawn's argument (the way I understand it) is that lawyers could have a field day with this one since the judgment specifically said "negative" in their two examples.
