I saw that when I read the specs. Also they are meant for stuff like track lighting, not recessed which we have. But I think that the main point is the life expectancy(spelling?) on them.
The ceiling is made to be walked on. But an entire catwalk system isn't feasible with the way it's designed. We have two catwalks for the wash lights, but thats different.
The ceiling is safe to walk on, just a little nerve racking when you hear it creak once you get on it, but once you start walking it stops and you get your buisness done.
Because standard fluorescents aren't dimmable. I work in an auditorium and we have regularly dicussed how great it would be to have LED flood lights in the house lights. They do make dimmable fluorescents, but they are very expensive and don't have a "natrual" look that standard halogen lamps do.
And since we have to walk on a 40' high plaster ceiling that is 40 years old, the lesser trips we make to change house lights, the better it is, no matter what the cost may be.
but it's the same wordprocessor in a slightly new package.
I guess youre not counting all the bloating that MS Word has done over these past few years. The others out there can't even compete when it comes to useless features.
Recently, Microsoft has been doing much more than Apple on compatibility. At least they offer products that let you run Windows under Mac OS X.
With the same kind of setup in reverse, Apple could have made a version of Mac OS X to run in Windows. Or even a version of Mac OS X that ran without Apple hardware.
True that Microsoft offers a product, but they bought it from someone that had spent all the r&d to get it working with not just Windows but other OSes for the pc. But when Microsoft aquired Virtual PC one of the first things they did was drop support for non-MS OSes. That's a real team player there.
And if I remember correctly Apple did think about licensing their MacOS out to pc makers in the 80s, but nothing ever came of it.
Shouldn't you have to su root before the make install?
If the readme file says that you need to install as root, then the end user will think the program is legit. If he/she doesn't even know how to install it, they probably won't even know that you need to have root privileges.
On top of that, IE updates don't require an uninstall.
It would be a waste of the millions of dollars and the years of court battles to have IE uninstall just to have for an update?
Transmeta CPUs linger on in a kind of zombie state
I can just see the advertisment department going crazy with this. "When there's no more room in Hell, Transmeta will crawl the earth."
Just doesn't sound as good if it's not a Dead film.
I can increase the speed of my ram, the speed of my cpu, and the size of my hard drive. When is the big speed break through for hard drives going to come?
Sure, make a hard drive that will hold a Yottobyte of pr0n, but when it takes 2 mins just to find the file and open it, what good is it?
I have tried to install an alpha version of Longhorn. It hangs when it gets to detecting hardware, so I havent been able to actually use it. I think the build that i have it pretty much like XP is so I'm not that hurt that I can't get it to run. The nice thing is though, that it comes with a nicer partition utility than XP does. Not as good as something like Mandrake or SUSE, but still good for Windows.
does it easily allow you to copy your recorded shows to your PC too?:)
At first it probably will. Until studios start complaining about it and how it takes away from the sales of the Anna Nicole Show on dvd.
It may be just me, but i feel that recording shows onto your computer is no different than recording them on vhs. We pay for cable and the channels, should we not be allowed to make a backup for our enjoyment?
But something like this has probably been debated just like downloading music. It's really a no win situation in both subjects, and for everyone invovled.

So AOL is spyware.

I'm still kind of a Linux newbie. I knew that I would mess up with installing the kernel, but it gives me the experience to learn from my mistakes.
Just two days ago I just had to use Knoppix to recover my system after a failed attempt to upgrade the kernel. Very good to have as a recovery tool.

All the Pac-Man, Pong, and Sim City clones.
What about the Shemale population?
