You don't need to talk to anybody at Dell or negotiate anything to exchange a defective battery. It's a simple process, just fill in your information at Dell's battery recall site. I hope this helps you out, as I can imagine how difficult it must have been for you to try to call dell once for each one of your four hundred batteries. The funny thing is that I found this site after only a few seconds of googling.
Those 40% of games work on 1080 and everything below that, too. It would be pretty stupid to make different releases of the same game for different resolutions.
Right, the point is that the parent is asking an incredibly stupid question, which is: "How does a product made for X benefit people who don't have X?"
And the answer is obviously that it doesn't, it benefits people who DO have X.
how does targeting the 1% of the population who owns 1080p TVs benefit anyone else?
It doesn't, obviously the point is that it benefits that 1%, duh. As long as you're asking questions like this, why don't you ask how targeting the 1% of people who can afford a Mercedes with a Mercedes benefits those who can't? Or how targeting the 1% of people who own an hd-dvd/blu-ray player with hd-dvd/blu-ray movies benefits those who don't?
If my post was off-topic, then it would imply that the post it was in reply to was off topic as well, as my post only addressed issues brought up in it's parent post
of course, I could easily say that the post you just made is off topic as well, but it pertains to the post it is replying to, just like the one I originally made.
I think you are taking a viewpoint and falsely attributing conflicting viewpoints to people with no basis whatsoever. you made an incorrect statement and I simply replied to you, correcting it. if you want to debate, then debate the points made, if you just want to fight, do it elsewhere.
You either completely missed the point of my post or otherwise replied to the wrong one, because your reply has nothing whatsoever to do with the post it is replying to.
Not all problems are national, and not all national problems have as great an impact on any given state as they would on any other given state. for example,
illegal immigration from mexico is a much larger problem in texas, california, and other southern states than it is further up north.
sure, it is a national problem, but the effect is obviously not evenly distributed across the nation.

states are not subsets of the USA
the USA is a superset of states
the states came before the federation of the states, and
the federal government derives it's power by consent of the states.
Running Vista on an nvidia 7800GTX and on a Quadro NVS 110M
Haven't experienced any problems whatsoever. In fact, while I was in the middle of downloading the drivers from the nvidia site, vista popped up a message stating it had finished doing just that and installed them and needed to reboot.
What's wrong with using an idea that works? I'm not so stuck up that I'd refuse to use a feature if somebody else implemented it first (if I was, I'd use linux 24/7, instead of using multiple OS's).
1. When you're trying to visualize something, it's easier to relate it to something you see often. Which do you see more often, 30 rulers lined end to end, or a garbage truck?
2. Its easier to visualize less of something than more of something. Which is easier to visualize, a TV that is the height of 100,000 grains of sand, or a TV that is the width of a two-person sofa?

He should have sent his battery in for the recall instead of ignoring it and convincing himself it couldn't happen to him.
Having better hardware isn't an unfair advantage. Ever.

You need to learn the difference between a generalization and an ascertainment based on provided evidence. The GP is the latter.

How long do you think we will need to wait before they begin supporting it?
Probably until it either gains majority market share or opens up it's source.

No, I haven't installed either, I use quicktime alternative when necessary.

In the "ServerLayout" section of your xorg.cfg, add
Option "DontZap" "True"
That should disable that key shortcut.
I knew Vista's hardware requirements were high, but a $550,000,000 data center?
Really? Where is that option, I'm trying to enable it on my own Dell D820, but cannot find it in the BIOS.

the current global warming consensus
There is no "global warming consensus", there are facts and stupid fringe scientists who disagree to make a name for themselves.
Gung ho.
Well, that's each rail gun that can fire just 10 times a day.
No, that's each power plant that can generate just enough energy to fire 10 times per day.
