  1. Microsoft has released or will release it in.... on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has released or will release versions of Starter Edition for Brazil, Malaysia, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and India. These are some of the fastest-growing PC markets in the world, and the software is designed to make it easier for ordinary people in these markets to learn about computing.
    Most of those seem to do just fine with bootleg WinXP Pro.

  2. How many do you need? on Windows XP Starter Edition Snubs P4, Athlon · · Score: 1

    I have a whole garage full of PIIs, that run XP just fine.

    Thanks

  4. Re:Accord hybrid on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    I just wish they'd release a 4-cylinder version of the Accord. It would still have enough speed (just like the gas 4-cyl accord, but it would save more gas). BTW. Even though I am a huge Honda fan, I like Toyota's hybrid technology better. I like the fact that the gas engine kicks in only when needed and the motor runs all the time vs. the other way around on a honda.

  5. Is it a myth? on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    Is it a myth that if you go above 55, your fuel consumption stops being linear to your speed? Here's why I think it is: back when this myth was invented, cars were not as aerodynamic as they are now and that's why it may be true for cars that were built way back when.

  6. Can someone help? on SPA-3000 Review/Guide: Affordable Home PBX · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have a POTS line and a whole bunch of phones around the house. I need to have my outside line route to the PABX and then the PABX would route to each individual extension. How would this be accomplished?

    Finally someone has come up with a real FPS! Next, an FPS on the streets of New York City with a remote-controlled robot! NICE!!!!! ====== Second ammendment does not belong in the constitution. ======

    The Yahoo article is not entirely correct. The allowed amount is anywhere from $300M to $3B.

  11. NATIONAL DRIVER's LICENSE - A GOOD IDEA on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

    I wish they'd issue a standard driver's license and make a federal vehicle code so that I don't have to look at a state's DMV when I travel to that state.

  16. Re:They will stop.... on RIAA File-Sharing Lawsuits Top 10,000 People Sued · · Score: 1

    First, RIAA has no reason to sue me. Second, if everyone starts going to trial, it won't be worth it for RIAA. Third, if people on the jury do filesharing (and your lawyer should make sure some do), then you have better chances of winning.

  17. They will stop.... on RIAA File-Sharing Lawsuits Top 10,000 People Sued · · Score: 4, Insightful

    .... only after people stop settling outside of court and ask for jury trials.

    This is a RUSSIAN capsule! The rockets are also reliable, since they are the ones that hold the nukes..... Then once they're about to reach their "expiration date" they're launched off into space. Just think what will happen to us if WWIII starts one day :(.
