Fundamentalist religious forces are demanding the weaking of science and math education in schools because these subjects don't coincide with their mythology. No wonder U.S. students are so weak in these subjects!
I would bet money that It means you can have as many TVs as you want but only 3 stations at any one time.. Bandiwdth is limited by the amount you have at any one given time, not the ways you can split it.
That's not to say that they're not artificially limiting you to 3 TVs though, so really I've no idea.
I hate hearing people say that. If you honestly think that the president doesn't have the political sway (i.e. most blatantlt veto threats on other things.) to pass or not pass almost any bill he wants you're deluding yourself in idealism.

As a web host, I can tell you that while an ISP -shouldn't- be responsible for the content that host, they almost always end that way in court. We tend to have very restrictive TOS/AUPs on things you would expect like adult content, and then more on sites that promotes bigotry, racism, etc.
Actually, I do use ThePlanet for my webhosting, and I believe their TOS/AUP prohibits such material, and if theirs doesn't, mine does, anyways.
From wikipedia (Shameless Karma Whoring)
Graphics requirements are defined in relation to three different desktop experiences.
[edit]
Aero Glass experience
This graphics mode includes support for 3D graphics, animation and visual special effects that delivers the richest experience possible in Longhorn. Consequently, this graphics mode requires the following:
* At least 64 MB graphics memory (128 MB is recommended)
* Support for at least 32 bits per pixel
* Support for advanced 3D hardware acceleration with capabilities equal to DirectX 9
* A graphics card that uses AGP 8X or PCI Express 16-lane bus
Although this may appear expensive by today's standards, it is likely that such a configuration will be entry-level or lower by Longhorn's release in 2006-2007.
[edit]
Aero experience
This graphics mode delivers the minimum hardware acceleration for the Longhorn user experience and is the minimum required for new systems.
* Windows XP Driver Model (Longhorn Display Driver Model is recommended)
* At least 32 MB graphics memory
* Support at least 32 bits per pixel
* Support 3D hardware acceleration with capabilities equal to DirectX 9
* A graphics card that uses AGP 4X or PCI Express eight-lane bus
[edit]
Classic experience
This graphics mode is equivalent to the user experience in Windows 2000. In this mode, Longhorn uses software rendering to display graphics instead of a graphics card. If the system running Longhorn does not meet the hardware requirements for Aero or Aero Glass, this mode will be used.
And please, read the LAST paragraph.
I've got a PCI-e 6600GT.. and it's OVERCLOCKED, to boot!
Now if all of those extra video cards could be made to do something useful.. I mean, damn, 128 GDDR3 running at 1000MHz and a 128bit Core running at 500MHz.. I've got more power than most windows users! (Don't even speak on the water-cooled 4 GHZ P4.. >.>)
What we need is a distributed computing project, yup, that's the ticket.. we could save LIVES and futher justify our inanely expensive video cards!
I did some with someone who was doing some leading-edge research into Gene Regulation and Protien Signaling. She is extremely amazed at how much we don't know.:)
But that's not to say that it's useless at all. Even knowing that one protien contributes to a chain allows you to inhibit it and stop the chain; it's just saying that there's ALOT left we have to learn.
I think the real issue is more than it will have to compete with OLEDs. Everything I've heard about OLEDs so far makes me think that some people, especially gamers, will be willing to pay more if the product is better. It's not that the eye can actually detect much performance increase over 100 FPS, but, that's how the high-end gaming market works. This is the market that's willing to pay $500 for a 5% performance increase over a $200 video card.
He was building on a growing fear of lasers being used to bring down planes. Don't you think there would be some terror if he managed to make the plan crash?
"Not necessarily, depending on whether there is an afterlife and what determines your fate therein. That's even assuming that the earthquake wasn't actually a good outcome out of all the possible outcomes; for example, what if the earthquake released tectonic pressure that otherwise would've built up and killed millions instead of hundreds of thousands?"
If god is powerful enough to change the movements of the tectonic plates in that matter, why can he not change them to the outcome of his choice? if god is all-powerful, that is hardly a stretch of his abilities.
If god has some power, but not THAT much (Which I'd find an odd idea), and is all-knowing, why could he not have altered it earlier, when it would have required less pressure on the tectonic plates? For that matter, if god is all-knowing, why was this not planned against at the creation?
There are gaps in how far your argument will go.
Whether all-knowing or all-powerful, and as many say both, he could avoid such things. God clearly had power after the creation, following any religious text. He managed to flood the world, eh? Again if he was all-knowing, why would he not have forseen that and created man differently?
You can't run applications if every other script kiddy can 0wn your box in 5 minutes.
Sorry to use this already over used term, but you're really making them damned-is-they-do, damned-if-they-don't. Either they make the computer usable at all, and require higher coding standards from programs, (even their own) or they actually make it harder for their box to be owned and break badly coded programs. If they hadn't dont this you would probably laughing about the 4 minute "total-time-of-owange" on an SP1 box.
When a flourescent bulb fails, it stops giving off light completely. Usually and LED light will only have 1 led fail at a time. Given theis, you don't have large areas of darkness and don't have to replace the bulb immediatley when a part fails. LEDs fail gracefully.

You leave out that Dells come with a keyboard, mouse, -speakers-, and frequently a decent printer..

I call under-informed post.
Have you ever tried to open/add to an Apple product that's designed to be small?
Can't be done without risking damage to the product.
Definetly. Also think about spending a bit extra on a rugged keyboard and mouse.

Depends on your definition of terroist.
He was building on a growing fear of lasers being used to bring down planes. Don't you think there would be some terror if he managed to make the plan crash?
Not all terrorists wear turbans.

Sorry that I've gone off on a tangent.
Insightful? Please.

C'mon, even poor people their houses to have 4 walls..
Not to mention, most XP install CDs for the last month have sold with SP2 installed already. (My Newegg browsing..)

A... slow and painful, graceful death?
If you have the CD key, you get 14 days to register XP.
If you spend 14 days RE-INSTALLING an Operating System away from a phone line, you've got bigger problems.
I think I'm going out on a limb here... but I think we can say the majority of hackers are liberal.
I think if people are uploading Gigli and Catwoman from you there's a bigger problem than a clogged pipe..
