Which is why I started with but, in IT matters at least. I didn't say that they aren't much better than me at other things, but their skills with PCs are lacking considerably.
Things like that explain why the Beetle dealership that I used to walk past everyday closed down I guess. But to be honest, those fords which replaced them aren't a lot better.
But for each $15 TFT panel, how many don't pass QC?
Also, your eyes tend to even things out, and most of the time, a bad subpixel isn't catastrophic. A CPU that can't execute MOV however is for all intents and purposes, dead.
Oh shit...sorry, I replied to the wrong comment, that won't make any sense.
Makes me wonder why car designers do things like that. I mean, is there a reason, or is there some guy in Europe that just wants to be an arsehole, and has to put things in different places when he has a bad day?
With enough caffiene you can notice anything...I've been writing code for 8 hours, and it feels like i've been going 20 minutes...maybe it's the same with Gecko;)

I wouldn't trust a computer to count votes, do you really think I'll trust one to decide the votes?
millions of dollars worth of data that took years to obtain
Well, if they have millions of dollars worth of data on a system, and didn't back it up, then they're getting what they deserve.
HL2 costs $130. A DVD costs $20 - $30.
Much, much higher cost per unit.
PS2 *IS* somewhat limited hardwarewise.
Microsoft makes money (mostly) from software, it won't lose money if there is a shift away from x86.
But who is the one with the right to determine who has a valuable political opinion, and whose opinion is worthless?
Video games have a much higher cost per unit.
Also, it's been established fairly well that piracy isn't hurting the movie industry.
If a human was vastly smarter, had a vastly better understanding of the implications of an election, would you still only give it one vote?
That's right, Microsoft is going to release a game for a competing platform. You don't see Apple selling OSX for x86, do you?
And then you go to jail for formatting the hard drive...
You only have to simulate them long enough for them to vote.
I take it you live in the US?
Now that I've got some sleep, I have remembered that they are made of Magnesium. Not the kind of thing you want to oxy-cut.

I'll take a Holden anyday.
Doesn't everything?
When was the last time you heard of a retailer emphasising a fault in their product?
It depends on what you do with your screen though - your average windoze xp play school colour scheme user won't notice much.
I probably would, because I spend ~90% of the time in a terminal. But I have a CRT.
And I doubt it would be very easy to install.
You could always try oxy-cutting it

If he broke into my computer, or some little workstation somewhere, he wouldn't be getting a punishment this stiff.
AFAIK, some manufacturers offer a zero-defect screen.
The supply of such screens is already at a trickle.
