"The ruling here is basically that people can't trade in their four-year-old worthless laptops for brand new expensive ones"
They can't trade SHIT in to begin with, the laptops have been long dead and busted, with the company refusing to replace.
I'm one of the affected (DV9825nr - nVidia GeForce 860M GS) and I got my replacement, mostly equivalent, and IT'S A LEMON. Thankfully I invoked the warranty not a few days before it went tits up so It's getting repaired for free right now, although with the slew of problems I think this qualifies for Tier-X (what HP calls economically unservicable) and are probably going to ship me something new.
The only thing on my replacement that was NOT comparable was the GPU. the 8600 did far better than the ATi 4200HD
I died twice and only got $40K after hospital bills and lawyer fees.
Fuck yes I'd rather have third degree burns. Return on investment is much, MUCH bigger. As always, the law of diminishing returns bites you in the ass.
Back in the day of Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior, we had this magic thing called a LightPen. It enabled pen-based touchscreen right there on your PC! Why the fuck this isn't used today is beyond me. It was accurate, responsive, and just about as good as a Wacom tablet/pen today.
Team 6 is Presidential detail. They wouldn't be going overseas at all unless the President himself did. This was likely Team 5 - Counter-Terrorist group.
Money isn't a motivation for this. Not saying how I know but I know it's not money. Well, money is the motivation- for Sony. The hackers don't want Sony to have that money.
That's not going to stop criminal charges once it's revealed their security was so lackluster AND the fact they violated PCI-DSS and multiple Data Protection Laws in multiple countries.
No? THen you don't have half a clue, because you haven't stuck your nose into the driver stack.
Come back when you've worked very closely with the drivers - hint: I did OmegaDriver dev back when 3dfx was stilla viable company. Workingon nVidia's unified driver architecture is much easier, as it's a package to work across all NT operating systems. THat means you can enable features from one version not present in another version with simple tweaks and hacks.
You didnt' read the rest of my post, did you idiot?
XPx64 DOESN'T NEED THE WORKAROUND AS IT'S SERVER 2K3/VISTA BASED..
Which is what that machine is running.
The link was merely posted in case you wanted something to actually read, as I doubt you have any clue as to just how far my nVidia experience goes (GeForce256 was my first nVidia card, FYI, and I've had EVERY generation since.)
Also, nVidia uses a UNIFIED DRIVER ARCHITECTURE.
One.ini hack is all it takes to re-enable Dual Monitor support in SLI mode.
Or you could install the XPDM drivers instead of the WDDM drivers, as the XPDM drivers can force multi-monitor support.
I find it funny that you think you're so intelligent yet you can't find a workaround for such a simple problem.
"Seen a modern maid's cart in a nice hotel lately?"
Mission Inn in Riverside, 4-star hotel, President Taft has a special chair there (which he hated, and anyone sits in it just to use it because he loathed it and wouldn't touch it.)
Carts are as open as ever. You can snag towels, shampoo, and more.
What are you staying in, a 1/2-star Motel 6 where everyone steals everything except the worthless TV?
The version I'm running should be obvious, as the only version with Wireless network Bridging is the x.24 version (.26 won't support it.)
Everyone thinking I'm doing something wrong - don't forget that the majority of Linksys consumer equipment is pure garbage.
I got EA's EULA nullified in court.
This forced them to settle before dangerous precedent got set against them and any other company that tries this shit.
No google needed, one of the sources is speaking directly to you.
$300 warranty to replace a failed (at the time) 800 piece of equipment.
I think you don't understand economics very well.

Nope, we all know Osama was a PS3 owner. He'd never touch something as dirty as an American XBox.
"reports of rehearsals being performed by Team 6"
Team 6 is Presidential detail. They wouldn't be going overseas at all unless the President himself did.
This was likely Team 5 - Counter-Terrorist group.
You do realize most rifles tend to leave clean holes?
Unless he got popped with something .40 or larger he's still going to be recognizable.

Like that.

Say what? Perhaps you should watch TMZ a little more often.
You're wrong, son.
In October, right after 9/11, the Taliban themselves offered to surrender OBL to us.
Bush REFUSED.
My how our memory spans shorten.
I have four WRT54GL routers running DD-wrt.
Not a damned one of them can remain stable and online for more than an hour, except when configured as a simple wireless bridge device.
Just install network traffic loggers on each machine. Do some simple math at the end of the month.
What would be the best way to hurt your enemy?
Just expose their base crimes.

Except the rating only goes up to 5 stars in the Mobil ranking.
Do you even write drivers?
No?

Come back when you can hack, pal.
A class-action of the people against SCOTUS would be interesting, as a challenge of the constitutionality of the ruling.
Of course, that would mean another court would have to be established - perhaps one actually comprised of the people, one that works for the people.
Yea, that's a pipe dream.
I am my employer. No, I don't care. Not when I'm making enough money producing emergency food for Japan since nobody else seems capable of doing it.
"I also enjoy the fact that he's moderated all of his own posts up using a sock puppet."
Except I only have one account, which makes your fact a falsehood.
Let me guess, you vote Republican and watch Glenn Beck.

*yawn*
WIndows XPx64 also doesn't need a workaround as it's based off of Server 2k3, it just WORKS.
"single display"
You don't see the monitor built into the actual computer box, or those other monitors to my left, either? Those are running off the same system.
Four monitors, Windows XP, SLI 9800GTX+ GPU inside of a Zalman case.
I built the thing, I know what's inside. That's my office.
"(highly questionable and completely unsubstantiated)"
Oh, I'm sorry, raw photographic evidence isn't enough for you?
"The following SLI features are only supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7: Quad SLI technology using GeForce GTX 590, GeForce 9800 GX2"
Try to remember when the 9800GX2 came out. Revert to those drivers.
Quit using the newer drivers. Support for XP was present in older driver revisions.
"There's only 50 million PS3s in circulation."
More than that.
Or do you forget that practically every retail store has a model playing games nonstop?
The store itself counts as a customer, too.
Quit relying upon wikipedia, which doesn't take everything into account.
