Depends on people I guess. For some of us, it actually makes people more knowledgeable . I learned a heck lot more researching designs for my OTA antenna system just by lurking in forums and reading Wikis for a month than in my whole RF Communications year back in CEGEP. My library network only has *one* book on antenna design for the whole Montreal island, and it's been rented out for at least 2 weeks now...
AC-3 is digital, so ground loops won't matter much. In fact, I made an AC-3 connector from my HTPC's onboard connector using an old CD-ROM wire and some solder and heatshrink.
If your devices are setting up a resonating network, they are *not* grounded properly. I have to ground my turntable on my Marantz Receiver, I use 16 gauge wire.
Seriously, do you need a quad-core machine with 16GB RAM and an SSD to check your email, do some facebook, check the news or do general stuff?
The answer is NO!
People are doing that on iDevices or Androids already.
My main machine is a lowly underpowered Core2 Duo 2.1 with 3GB RAM (otherwise the tuner won't work, Thanks Hauppauge), running Win7 off an SSD. Video is a Radeon 6770, Except for newer games (fall of Cybertron, I'm looking at you you naughty bad console port), it runs everything I throw at it.
Heck, My old 2Ghz A64 3000+ is running my Media Center Machine, and it plays HD with x264 hardware acceleration (that thing is around 8 years old)
What's killing PC sales is they are now good enough for most stuff without upgrading every 2 years...
Sure they are some special needs, but for most people, a 300$ machine from Walmart will do the job.
Agree. Besides, using incandescents at 99c per 2-pack is not that expensive. I've replaced only 2-3 incandescents in the last 10 years, but about 10 CFLs.
But the ISPs are. They have no incentive to offer speed or unlimited usage. More and more people are cutting the cord for TV and phone lines. Bring me a nice fast and unlimited (or higher than the ridiculous 60GB limit in Montreal), and I'll manage with OTA and online streaming. I just to live long enough to see *real* competition in Canada
Now, we need games written in OpenGL, not DirectX. Will benefit both Linux and OS X. I'm keeping Win7 on my main computer for games. For everything else, it's OS X. No, it's not a Mac. Apple doesn't sell the machine I need (mini-tower)
So? do like ID did for DooM. Release the *engine* only. I would kill to have the game run natively on modern systems.
People could build a modern engine, requiring people to copy the resource files from their CD or floppies. And keep the sound engine like iMuse, that's a big part of what made those games fantastic.
True, the 1541 was awfully slow, even for its time. The fastest floppy I had at the time was the one hooked up to my Apple ][e. with two drives, diskmuncher would copy a floppy in 11 seconds, vs *way* longer using fasthack'em on the 64
As seen in Drew Carey Show, a fee for multiple fees. They get away with it because they can... People don't complain enough, laws don't apply the same for corporations and individuals, and most of all, people just don't seem to care enough to put their foot down... I know I do, but most people don't. I try to shop at mom and pop shops, but most people will try to save a dime and go to walmart

CDMA phones have a serial number.
I wouldn't mind giving a shot at Mickey Mouse governing my country, heck, even Goofy couldn't do worse than Harper.
Depends on where you live

The difference is they have money, therefore are above the law. We don't

You're aware that's only a little higher than an Easy-Bake Oven? I hope you don't like your toast too dark...
AC-3 (RCA) is digital too, so no ground loop problem either. My guess is people will think it's better because it's optical.
Yup, right there with Vista & 8
I know about IPC :) . I'll give you the 6502 was faster clock-per-clock than a Z80.
Nope. The Master System had 8 times the video ram, 4 times the ram, and a much faster CPU.

They knew they were dead anyways, fight or not. They did save a bunch of other lives...
People with money will always vote laws for them.

Sure, but then you could use other Kernal replacements. I was talking about unmodified hardware.

I'm wondering what the Curie point is for modern HDDs...
