I once found a dual PIII Xeon server on the street, with 4gb RAM and 8 10,000 RPM 12gb SCSI drives (wiped, of course). Three 22" ViewSonic flat screen CRTs. A working professional-quality scanner. It is positively ludicrous what New Yorkers throw out.

*Mesh vertices are $.000001 each. Rendering engine available for $12.95. Texture maps are $.0001 per pixel.
Seriously though, reduced-price modular video games expandable through micropayments is a neat concept. I can only hope that such a system remains optional, however...
Intel has already fought back, by (attempting) to phase out the NetBurst architecture. It's unlikely that we'll see any significant Intel innovations any time soon, since the duration of R&D cycles seems to be 3-4 months.
AMD's offerings probably won't significantly change either, since the 4x4 architecture it's been touting is irrelevant in the low-end desktop market.
Wrong; You don't have to reboot. Windows incorrectly states that scaling font DPI requires a reboot.
but the problem with this is that the graphics widgets don't scale porportionately (sic) in XP.
Yes, they do. Only poorly written applications which use bitmapped widgets/graphics don't scale properly. Ironically, ATI's control panel doesn't work at any other font resolution besides the default 96dpi.

...the local school board is more fully aware of issues plaguing local schools than the US Department of Education.
Incorrect. The iPod's screen is now VGA.
You are partially correct. iPods' embedded screen resolution is now VGA, not 640x420.
Sure it has a recycling program: I take them!

Catered.* O and E are right next to each other on the Dvorak keyboard, a fact that leads to embarrassing orthographical mistakes... :(
*Contemplates switching back to QWERTY*
You mean the site catored to those annoying Chinese restaurant flyers?
That ought to read "beige box." I was thinking about my own InWin q500, which is more grey than beige.
Are its machines not "sexy alternatives to the big, grey box?"
They run Intel processors, too.

Now, that's what I'm Tolkien About!
Also people who have stronger password probably would recognize it as a phishing site so the data is pretty much worthless.
Which excludes 1% of MySpace users, a negligible figure. The data is pretty accurate.
Then again, how many MySpace users wouldn't fall for a phishing scheme? :)
It's probably pretty accurate.
Why is this filed under the "Portable Games" category?
I don't think the average Xanga user is capable of correctly forming the irregular preterite of "to dream."
Get back to me on that. It may take a while...
What do you think of gigabit ethernet, then? As with any networking protocl, 802.11x has more uses than merely connecting to the Internet.
I meant years. Sorry about that.

Unfortunately, innovation doesn't occur on-demand.
So did Windows 95.
Perl Harbor.
You mean when PHP forces attacked CGI programmers by bombing Perl Harbor on 7 December 2001?

Yes, but the majority of LimeWire's use constitutes illegal sharing.
You newfangled whippersnappers! I do: $ ed
No, because it is the 24th of November. November the 24th just sounds weird.
No, they're embedded in the USB 1.0 keyboard, which serves as a small hub.
