You might be thinking of Family Feud, with Richard Dawson reading the rest of the question to the players after someone buzzed in wrong. That did, in fact, happen - sometimes with hilarious results.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, one doesn't have to wait for the entire question to be read. You can jump in early if you think you know the answer.
You're mistaken. The clickers to ring in are shut off until Trebek is finished reading out loud. (Jeopardy was probably the first quiz game to do it this way.)
You're basically right, but you're reading the numbers wrong. Those aren't birth rate numbers you linked: it's a ratio of births to deaths. Hence why the USA at 0.97 is considered falling. But the 2.15 figure means over twice as many births as deaths. Maintaining a population requires a birth rate of around 2.1, not 2.5; either way, the industrialized world is on the wrong side of the number.
I have that too, but only on Windows. Heh heh. I tried updating to ~250.something or whatever but that didn't fix it. You could disable hardware acceleration in Firefox if you want, that should stop the crashing. Haven't tried it to see what it does to performance, though. Should be interesting to see if beta 8 fixes this.
Hehe...I have a Pentium 4 Prescott 2.8GHz that heats up my bedroom a good 5 degrees F.
Of course, I live in Florida, so I never need that heating ability....:o
AM radio requires a special ferrite bar antenna, which won't fit inside a small device (and give decent reception). With FM, they can just use the headphone cable as an antenna.
I believe Excel 2007 removed the 65k rows limitation; it's something sky-high now. (IMO they shouldn't have, if only to discourage people from using it as a database....)
Sure, you can use 60GB in one day by maxing it out...but who does that? Heck, even in my heavier usage months, I've never gone above 35GB for the whole month. 60GB should be fine for 99.8% of people.
The Masters is on CBS...get an antenna...as for ESPN, no idea, but what I *do* know is that the MLB has a service that lets you watch any baseball game over the Internet...a coworker of mine has it, and I think he pays $99 a year. I haven't looked to see if the NFL has something similar, but if they don't, they probably will within a few years.
I'm having trouble finding recent numbers, but Sendmail was at 42% and falling in 2001, and possibly at 27% in 2008. BIND had around 70% in 2004. So, yeah, BIND is used way more than Sendmail.
Safe to say, if you owned an Apple from 2001 - 2009 and purchased all the OS updates, vs a PC and purchased all the updates, you'd have paid less for Windows.
No Apple-sold computer that can run 10.0 can also run 10.6 - or 10.5, for that matter (at least officially). You wouldn't have bought all the updates, as you would have either gotten a new one on a new machine, or you stopped when your hardware was no longer supported.
In any case, Apple didn't force you to buy all the updates. I skipped 10.5 myself.
I've done both 3.1 to 95 and 98 to XP, and both worked fine. There were missing drivers, but all I had to do was install them. Done. Oh yeah, and at work, I recently did XP to Vista to 7, and the system works fine. The Windows upgrade process has certainly gotten better.
(Oh yeah, I also did 2000 to XP, which you didn't mention, for my brother, and that also worked fine. But those two were very similar anyway.)
Not quite. The PST files produced by Outlook XP and lower, and by Exchange 2003's exmerge utility, are subject to the 2GB problem. The PSTs producted by Outlook 2003/2007 work fine above 2 gigs, even when using scanpst. I've done it at work several times...the largest I've run it against was about 11GB. (That's still obnoxiously large, though, and the scan/fix took over 3 hours.)
I did have to use scanpst once on one produced by exmerge, and I found it odd at first that it found the file too big. My only choice was, indeed, to lose email...by running MS's hilarious truncation utility. It's the masochistic IT administrator's dream.
Doesn't your converter box have a zoom feature? That'll get you your 4:3 picture back. Since the widescreen digital picture has more picture overall, the zooming should put you right back where you started.
New Years resolution: let's have a kid this year!
Or something like that. (No, really, I read something to this effect this past January. It's bound to pop back up in the media come the end of this year.)
You can't use the headphone cable as an AM antenna. AM radio requires a ferrite rod antenna, and you can't get good reception from one small enough to fit inside an iPod.

The Volt only holds 4 people. (Don't ask me why they took out the middle back seat.) So either the wife stays home, or one of the kids does.
You don't need a Mac to buy iPhone apps.

Ionized iron. ;D
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. :)

The Mac never sold all that well in the 80s. The IBM PC, which was 3 years preceding, had the Mac beat soundly the entire time.

Someone probably hit the reset button on the old mini, thinking it would fix things like Microsoft taught them. ;)

Office comes with a tool to fix corrupted PST files. Works pretty well.

I believe Vista actually has an SP2. So, 7 would be Vista SP3 ;)
