Classic apps don't exactly run well under classic on OS X. It's not a question of would Apple abandon backward compatability at the expense of performance, so much as would they do it again.
VW reliability is world renowned... to be crappy. I'm glad you've had good experiences, but answer me this. Why does every defense of a VW car contain the phrase "other than that" somewhere in the statement?
*more humor* from a 4-time VW owner. I'm well acquainted.
This is no suprise. The Athlon64 on its own is generally a better performing processor than Intel's offerings. Also, its oft-touted on-die memory controller means the chip was "designed from the outset" as dual-core friendly. AMD's marketing department is apparently shoving this down every reviewer's throat.
What's making Intel look silly is not the fact that dual-core Athlons outperform dual-core Intels, but the fact that AMD has out planned Intel in the somewhat long term. Intel's short term goal of chasing GHz into oblivion is biting them in the posterior.
None of it amounts to much if AMD can't gain ground on Intel in the market. Call me when AMD's market share moves by more than 0.1% per quarter.

When is 720p Not 720p?
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
My DLP monitor's native resolution is 720p. Before purchasing the unit, I read up about signal, conversion, interlacing, etc. The conclusion I reached is that my monitor should do one thing and do it well. That one thing is to display a picture at its native resolution.
Almost everything I've read notes that the deinterlacing hardware in most TV's flat out sucks. My solution? I bought a Samsung DLP sans ATSC tuner. My TV is a display, nothing more. Had I been able to, I would have purchased it without the NTSC tuner as well. Buying the tuner separately affords me the opportunity to buy a better quality piece of hardware without the redundancy of having purchased the same hardware in my monitor.
I'll deliver a quality 720p signal to my monitor, and it will display the picture. What's more to ask?
Getting rid of the latest variants of the VX2 type spyware is a non-trivial process. These variants attach themselves to processes that run even in safe mode.
From a time efficiency standpoint, nukes from orbit look awefully attractive.
I agree with the parent 100%
If you're going to ask me to fix it, then expect to run what I tell you. After the third time fixing a person's spyware issues, telling them to run Firefox becomes habit. Everyone you come into contact with on a regular basis becomes a potential "customer" (everyone is your best friend when they have a problem) of yours when they have a problem.
In short, we're trying to reduce the maintenance level of our network of friends. Selfish? Yes, but also helpful.
The USPTO likes to embed TIFF images into web pages. Right click and save, then rename the resulting file with a TIFF extension. This method removes and need for a *gasp* plug-in.
And the whole thing would be a hell of a lot easier if true PostScript printers were cheaper and more available. Why aren't more printers PostScript compatable at a basic level? Is it an Adobe licensing issue?
Why the parent is modded up and this isn't, I have no idea. Deploying Firefox in an Active Directory environment is cake. Firefox installation is as simple as copying the program files to the client computer and adding the requisite shortcuts. There's nothing to it.
Administering Firefox through GPO in the traditional sense isn't really an option, as Firefox gets the majority of its configuration through *.js files, not the registry. The nice thing about this is that if you can read/write a text file, you can find the indexOf a configuration string and rewrite it. This is easily accomplished with VBS logon scripts. What's really needed is decent hash digest support in VBScript. Determining whether my prefs.js file is the same as the prefs.js file on the machine should be as simple as comparing the two hashes, but VBScript lacks this basic functionality. Sorry for the side rant.
In short, you can automate administration of Firefox in an Active Directory environment, you just can't do it using ADM templates and WYSIWYG interfaces.
Isn't AC current also much more easily/efficiently transformed when compared to pulsed DC? The reversal of current flow causes a field inversion in the transformer, resulting in more efficient transformation?
I know not of what I speak. I'm just spitting out my best recollection stuff that I remember from working someone who knew a lot more than me.
I'd venture that if you look at the bot referrer log for most sites, Googlebot is at or near the top most of the time. That's just a simple screenshot reflecting what's likely in a production environment.
It's not that simple. I work for a bankruptcy Trustee. With a case this high profile, they'll put a good trustee in charge, and he won't get away with as much as you'd think.
I don't know Colorado bankruptcy law all that well, as we're in Florida, but I know that Florida is one of the more "friendly" places to file bankruptcy, and it's not that easy to hide assets if the right firm is on the case.
No one uses it because our support ques aren't setup to handle the volume of "I forgot my password" calls we'd get as a result of asking a user to remember anything other than their SSN, or birthdate, or anniversary, or "password".
I've got the same crap, and I've used the built in "update" feature every time. This needs some priority. An update function should be a lot more tidy, even if it does run the full installer. Most refined products that are available in version releases check for previous installs and ask you how to handle the upgrade.
The current update feature is a misnomer. All it does is download the latest installer and run it for you. And it doesn't even do a very good job at that. E.g. doesn't kill existing firefox process, dumps installer in your default download location and leaves in there, etc.
Don't go complaining about Save A Copy. If you'd spent any time as a graphic designer, you'd understand how useful it is. If it disappears from Adobe products, you'll find me knocking at your door.

Just use a really slow (like 2x) CD-RW drive if you plan to download your consciousness and everything will be fine.

They could have chosen a better make of car. My 2002 GTI likes to melt fuse boxes. Let's just say VW wouldn't be my top choice for autonomous vehicle.

POTS communication can be intercepted with a $100 butt-set and very little skill. How is that more secure?
A 500% improvement!!!

You have to right-click, save, locate file, rename with .tiff, view. Lame, I know, but beats a plug-in.
For short time periods 60 degree water is fine, but when swimming trans-atlantic, you want something a bit warmer.
