Not quite. The 2800 was the Japanese version of the 2600. There were also several other oddly numbered systems that were and weren't released, such as the 2700 (2600 with RF controllers).
SP2 also has a digitally signed certificate. If you view the installer's properties, you'll see a Digital Signatures tab. You can use this tab to verify that the digital signatures are OK. Any changes to the EXE will void the digital signatures.
WUv5 does allow Volume License / Corporate keys, as long as they're not blacklisted. Otherwise, MS be hearing complaints from companies enrolled in the MS volume licensing program left and right.:P
Too many people I know don't know how to type correctly and use the hunt-and-peck method. They're amazed when I'm able to type up a 100-word paragraph in a few minutes, when it takes them up to half an hour. (I'd also classify them as AOLers, i.e. people that say "wut r u doing 2nite?" on IM services.)
The crashes occurred in May and November of 2003, erasing information from the September 2002 gubernatorial primaries and other elections, elections officials said Tuesday.
Why the hell didn't they back up the votes after they were taken? That's like the primary rule in ANY business with electronic data storage: back up often.
Didn't Microsoft have windowsupdate.com a while ago, then they dropped it when the Code Red worm (or another one, I forget which) was introduced because it had code for a DoS attack on windowsupdate.com?
I have a Lite-On LDW-411S drive, which is almost the same as the 451S, except it uses a different chipset. Is there any remote possibility that there could be a dual-layer upgrade for this model? (Or even the 811S - I know there's an upgrade to convert a 411S to an 811S.)
The Atari Lynx had an interesting solution for this problem: two sets of action (A/B) buttons. By pressing a certain key combination, the screen was rotated 180, and the user could flip the console upside-down.
"Backwards compatible" isn't the same as some guy writing an emulator.
On the other hand, the Genesis is hardware compatible with the SMS, as it has the Z80 and a compatible video mode. All you need is a cartridge interface and the SMS BIOS, which is provided by the Power Base converter.
Fortres, the security software that actually makes Windows more bloated and slow than it already is.
My school's library has Fortres installed on all of their computers, and it doesn't work at all. It simply makes everything 1000% slower. (IE takes 10 minutes to start and 5 minutes to load Google.) That, and it can easily be bypassed without knowing the password. (Enter "C:" into Internet Explorer to access the hard drive.)
It's a backdoor, they can do anything they want to your system. It can scan, read and write files. It's like giving them root, so they own your computer.
What you didn't mention is that the MBSA requires a valid username and password in order to access a remote computer.
Sega did release a portable version of the Genesis, the Sega Nomad, in 1995/96. It played regular Genesis cartridges, has an integrated 6-button controller, TV output (using a Genesis 2 video cable), second controller port, and a 320x224 passive matrix side-lit LCD screen. The only problem is the battery life: 6 AAs last for around 3 hours.
Thus, the only reason the PS2 wouldn't be practical is because it doesn't have an HDTV port.
What exactly is an "HDTV" port? Are you referring to Component? VGA? DVI?
Sony PS2 Component Video Cable - this cable lets you connect a PS2 to a television or PC monitor that has component video input. There's also a VGA cable available with the Linux kit, but it says that the cable only works with monitors that support Sync-on-Green (most monitors don't).
A friend of mine called Dell Tech Support because a new USB 2.0 card he installed was slowing down his computer. He called Dell Tech Support, and the tech person told him to run the Dell Diagnostics software. He got an error saying "Invalid System Clock." The tech person put him on hold for around 20 minutes, and then came back on and said "You couldn't have gotten that error. Do you have another disk to try it again?" He said "Yes", tried it, and got the same error. The tech person came back on, and said "There's no way you could get that error. It's a figment of your computer's imagination."
The dreamcast:
Has a 128-bit, 200 MHz main processor, with 16 megs of system RAM, 8 megs of dedicated video RAM and 2 megs of audio RAM.
The Dreamcast's SH-4 is actually 32-bit, which is confirmed by Hitachi's website: http://www.renesas.com/eng/products/mpumcu/32bit/s h/sh7750s/index.html (Apparently the SuperH series was merged with another company, so that's why it's not on Hitachi's website.) So where did Sega come up with the 128-bit figure?
According to the patent, this would mean that, say, Nintendo has the right to sue someone that writes a Game Gear emulator for a Pocket PC. Considering Sega already developed a Game Gear emulator for the Pocket PC, this would be considered pre-existing works, so the patent should be thrown out.

Use the decoder chip that you need to view the encoded content anyway!
It'd have been fun to say, to save in ED, press Down Down , Up Left, X (Mortal Kombat memories).
:)
It's quite difficult to press X on a GBA, since there is no X button.
