he's been playing the very hottest of "this fall's hottest games" (World of Warcraft) on it and has been very pleased with the performance.
I think it is safe to credit this to the skillful programming at Blizzard. Seems to me that they have always made games that will run surprisingly well on "lesser" systems.
See, I do not have problems with Firefox crashing in XP, but sometimes Moz will close all windows when I have ~10 open and try to close one. Have you ever encountered this?
Not everyone that buys a product is informed. A lot of people might look and say it might be better since it is more expensive. Alos, marketing for Intel can sway some people unless they look into it.
What are your reasons for running the old standby suite over the Firefox/Thunderbird combo?
Might seem silly, but when upgrades come out for the Moz suite, IT teams need only upgrade/test one piece of software. Might seem insignificant, but at my school EVERY computer had Moz installed, and that would mean a lot of work.
Also, Mozilla suite has a higher version number which, for some reason, keeps ignorant IT managers more at ease.
Indeed, but I'd be hard-pressed to agree that software emulation is better than hardware compatibility already built-in. Granted, x-86 needs to die, but we are so entrenched that the process will be slow and gradual. Users don't want to be dropped off a cliff...
Now the fat guy sitting next to me will not only be sweating and overflowing into my seat, but he might just be jerking off via his wonderful wireless connection now too. Wonderful.
True, but what about for 8x10s? I have a Sony DSC-T1, and I like to print 8x10s and they look great along with a cheap but good HP 932C on glossy premium paper. I know it takes a lot of ink to print something like that and the paper is not free either, but is it still cheaper to go somewhere? I, personally, love the convenience of not having to leave my house to make prints.
Also, you figure most people are going to buy an IJ printer anyways, so they might as well get one capable with photos too, right?
It's funny how an entire feature can be so insightful about digital cameras, and totally leave out suggestions about photo printers. Quality in prints now is limited to printer quality, not image resolution, if I am not mistaken.
I just think it would be helpful when making a "buyer's guide" like this to include some printer recommendations for the layman all the way up to the pro...

When will we get Pr0n DS? Mmmm....dual screens of erotic goodness... :)
Indeed. Personally, though, I tend to find the graphics more than adequate too.

Why bother having software emulation that knocks down performance ~20%? Seems counter-productive to me...
However, I would venture to say that they lost a LOT of (at least casual) sales due to lack of backwards compatibility a la x86-64.
You might want to wine and dine the football before you go for home...

If I knew what those strange antiquities were, my demand for them would surely rise.
They seemed to locate everything just fine on 9/11 w/o any GPS...
Ah, the ever-present battle between high and low-tech perverts... :)
'Cause an airplane can't well have a T1 backbone to the ground, now can it? Might as well have it ALL be wireless, eh?
Gotta love having enough celebs with mugshots to run an entire research experiment. :)
I think they mean "40 million lines of bugs" :)
How many instances of this are there across the US/world? Unused fiber? Find some for me!

It might start in 2006.

GREAT sig. :)
I bet that the Saudis still have access to the site. I mean, he has to get campaign contributions somehow, right?
