What if their goal was to promote "open formats" as being incredibly difficult to be compatible with, that all open format documents (and their content) were at risk, and that closed, controlled proprietary formats were the only sane choice?
It's not only about the precision of the mouse. It's about the turning speed.
Try doing a 180 degrees turn with the keyboard vs with the keyboard+mouse. In multiplayer, you didn't stand a chance if you were playing with a keyboard only.
Or maybe you just needed to clean up the mouse ball?
This is the list of the CPUs in the article: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Core 2 Quad Q9550 Core 2 Quad Q9450 Core 2 Duo E8500 Core 2 Duo E8400 Core 2 Duo E8300 Core 2 Duo E8200/E8190 Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Core 2 Extreme QX6800 Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Core 2 Quad Q6700 Core 2 Quad Q6600 Core 2 Duo E6850 Core 2 Duo E6750 Core 2 Duo E6600 Core 2 Duo E6550/E6540 Core 2 Duo E6420 Core 2 Duo E6320
Seriously, someone in the marketing department needs a swift kick in the ass.
Please, intel. Codenames are fine for internal development but for public products it's just insane.
Do we really need that many different types of CPUs anyway?
It's easy to understand "Core" vs "Core 2" (2nd version of Core), and "Solo", "Duo", "Quad" (number of cores). More than that though, and you're only confusing your customers.
Because of course "twice the temperature" is too complicated for your huge brain if we omit the measurement unit even though 99% of the world understood what I said.
You only wanted to show off with your knowledge and you failed, you ended up looking like an idiot.
And you didn't bother to actually understand what I said in one of my replies: the whole world uses celsius when talking about "room temperature" (apart from americans and british).
Some units are implied in day-to-day conversations. If someone tells you he's 20, you'll understand he implied 20-years old, you won't start asking them "20 days old? 20 minutes old? 20 years old according to the chinese calendar?"
Most of the population on this planet assumes celcius when talking about room temperature, meaning that my processors are always at least at 42 degrees.
Your numbers sound sooooo wrong that it's not even funny.
Unless of course you're making the mistake of developing on IE first and then "accommodating" Firefox, Safari, Opera and the others.
It takes 75% of your time to make your website in any of those three browsers. Then about 5% to make it work in the other two.
The last 20% is spent making non-standard CSS and javascript for the different versions of IE. All I can say is, thank you Microsoft for your IE-only conditional comments!
So what? You can do this automagically with CSS for the print media! You don't need a link to a special page that's probably linked to a server-side script that embeds the content into a print layout... and if you're doing that, go back and learn CSS basics again.
So.... Microsoft requiring me to buy an Xbox 360 to play Halo 3 is also a case for an illegal tying arrangement? (or Nintendo Wii/Metroid Prime 3, or Sony PS3/whatever is the popular PS3 game right now).
Apple is selling complete systems like they always have (think Atari ST, Amiga... there was no computer/OS distinction).
Next step: sue Microsoft because they won't make Windows for our toasters!

Not to mention the reduced Co2 emissions from all the animals that are born only to be killed later on.
Meat grown in a vat? Bring it on!

Does it at LEAST support the Dreamcast keyboard and mouse?
Any first-person shooter with a damn gamepad (analog sticks or not) is just crap.
Even in the whole of the slashdot readers, I'm pretty sure that only a few dozen people will want to have this.

ACTIVE is only 6 characters. The ~1 thing only happened when filenames/directories were more than 8 characters.
Unless you meant "ACTIVE DIRECTORY", but the parent just reversed the words to say "directory called ACTIVE".
Or you could simply just buy a 3-button mouse with scrollwheel, Logitech still makes them.

Ok I made a typo on celsius, sue me...
:p
And btw room temperature is 21 celsius, so it's 294.15 kelvins, not 293.
Sorry for not having a degree in alchemy dude!
Most of the population on this planet assumes celcius when talking about room temperature, meaning that my processors are always at least at 42 degrees.
Of course there's nothing to see! It's 1 x 10 atoms, you can't see that with your bare eyes!
Last time I checked, the internal temperature of my processors were at least twice as high as room temperature.

What can stay? It's an empty black page with nothing on it.
Just because people are too lazy/stupid to use a tool doesn't mean the tool is broken or that it doesn't exist.
Douglas Adam said it best: "people are a problem".

Hello? Is anyone there? I'm trying to reach someone at Dell technical support!
I've clicked the "submit" button but nobody is calling me back! This was two hours ago!
Why does your website say "Slashdot" anyway?!
Sunshine? WTF dude, this is slashdot. We're all supposed to be hiding in the basement!

Thank you, that was driving me nuts!
The US doesn't block that kind of things because a lot of your former companies are now owned by the Japanese and others.
You mean Zero One?
Square still fights gilsellers every chance it gets.
;)
And no I'm not calling them SE because FF XI was purely a Square product at the beginning.
