    Which is confusing when people see 10.10 and 10.1 and think they are obviously the same. or that 10.5 must be better than 10.10...

    NT = NTen, the emulator they used for the unreleased and apparently scrapped Intel CPU they were building the OS for IIRC. Good thing the original NT was built to be portable.

    He probably no longer owns the film. He sold it to the distributors. Arguably, he has NO right to say people can download it for free. The only thing stopping the distributors from suing everyone into oblivion is the PR distaster of going against the creator's wishes.

    And what is the appropriate response? If he did excuse himself, what could he have possibly done? Probably nothing that wasn't already being done. You cannot know exactly what he was thinking while he was "just sitting there". As President, he is to make decisions. He did not need to be jumping, running and doing backflips to make a decision on what he was going to do next.

    The patch just automates the modification. Just install the patch and it's done.

    If a website requires ActiveX, you can add it to the trusted sites zone. You should probably move that slider up to medium if you have a lot of sites in there though. The internet zone can probably do with most of the dangerous stuff turned off using the customize button rather than going all the way to high.

    The actual power lines will indeed be carrying far more than 115V. It gets stepped down before actually going into a home.

    If it was in the US, it was probably running on some of the low quality diesel fuel and belching out the extra garbage they add to the fuel.

    While your wealthier brethren lobby to keep good jobs out of the country so their poverty-wage professions are the only ones available to those "screw-up" poor people. Did you know Wal-Mart soaked up millions (possibly up to a billion) of dollars in government subsidies to create jobs that no American could live on? Corporations like Wal-Mart are killing off businesses that give decent pay because decent pay is not feasible with Wal-Mart down the street providing all the services anyone could ever need while maintaining an all-part time minimum wage benefitless work force. Poor people stay poor because the rich want them that way. Period.

    If the console has installed memory cards, the emulator could catch calls for reading hard disk and just read from the memory card. If an external HDD is attached, it could just forward everything over there and save the memory card space.
