"That's quite a theory, except that the solder has nothing at all to do with a graphics chip overheating."
Bullshit! Poor solder jobs tend to generate excess heat (trapped air inside the solder joint, too much solder leading to difficulties venting heat, etc.) and also tend to cause failures as well. And on such a small level as soldering die to package, there's plenty of room for a fuckup caused purely by a shit solder job.
BTW - RoHS compliant solder SUCKS. It is brittle, and nowhere near as malleable as lead solder.
For a laptop, it is a logic board. Why? You can't plug in other cards (With the exception of those with an MXM slot) so motherboard is not quite appropriate
If its a private network, then we need to work on DESTROYING their common carrier status and make them liable for every bit of child pornography that traverses their network.
Umm, moron, 3G isn't just on Cell Phones. How do you think Verizon does it's Nationwide Wireless Broadband for laptops? Same fucking thing - EV-DO over 3G.
The only part of the internet that's tax-funded is the infrastructure - $200 billion bucks to upgrade to fiber optics by a certain date. I believe that date has already passed, so perhaps it's time for the people to file a lien on the telecom industry's 'property.'
Show me the right to internet access in the Constitution, please. Since when does something developed by private entities (universities across the globe) need to be treated as a public utility, hrm?
Actually, if THEY cancel the contract, they are ultimately responsible for absorbing all costs related. Termination fees only apply if you, the customer, cancel the contract.
It actually comes in quite handy to know that, as it allows you a nice opportunity to force your hand and get out of a contract without termination fees. piss off Customer Service enough and they terminate your plan for you citing "We are unable to meet your requirements of service, go elsewhere." and you get no termination fee.
They did test it in every conceivable condition. Even though this thing got stuck, that in itself provides valuable data. You can't just look at just the obvious in a mission like this.
I smoke pot REGULARLY as a medical user. I don't forget a damned thing except maybe where the hell I put my keys. I'm on time for all appointments (And on-time is 30 minutes early for me,) and I never slack off until ALL WORK IS DONE.
But then again, I'm the sort of person that's in so much pain I CAN'T function without the pot (and I'm 100% opiate intolerant, NSAIDs do not work, and cocaine-based drugs make my heart race so hard I collapse.)
It's not a custom graphics chip - nVidia only makes custom chips for console manufacturers. The exact same 8600M GS chip can be found on many other laptop systems not from HP. It's actually pretty obvious nVidia is in collusion with Microsoft to further Vista by attempting to make hardware Vista-Only.
Time Domain or Frequency Domain? Guess what? Neither compensates for Doppler Shift. I own a Frequency Domain Phased Array Radar and use it for testing the various projectile cannons I make for fun (spud guns, can launchers, etc.) and the second you get something to curve (bad barrel alignment, badly formed projectile,) the speed measurement wildly varies (even with the radar antennas rotating at 60Hz.) Next chance I get I'm going to Gall's catalog and getting a laser radar, as this one wasn't worth the $3,000 price tag.
Thats why I'm always clocked going OVER the speedlimit when I make a right-hand turn?
I've had to fight this one twice, a radar gun will show it up as an INCREASE unless the angle of reflection is negative to the approaching vehicle (ie the cop is behind you trying to clock you.) I had to demonstrate this with two radar guns and police officers on bikes. I had them keep around 20 mph then clocked them as they turned. readings jumped from +/-2 mph to +10 mph (no decreases at all.)
Let's see. For RADAR guns, air temperature difference, proper orientation (You don't try clocking someone from a perpendicular angle to the car) even rain can screw up the signal. If you're making a turn the radar gun will clock you at a higher speed than normal.
I love having a radar technician as a father. Hooray for knowing how radar works (Harpoon missiles, baby!) as you can get out of most any ticket.
You could as easily have made a shorter post stating:
"If your GPS time was off by even one second, your position would be off by about 300km"
Since when the fuck do we have land vehicles that allow us to go 300 kilometers in a second? Did you suddenly forget physics and your G-Forces or what? GPS is also time-independent!
you can boot the entire OS direct from floppy. Programmed in x86/x64 assembler (Yea there are 32 and 64 bit versions) and it will fit your purpose for non-networked machines (getting the network to work requires a little assembler knowledge)
It also boots faster than anything else I've ever seen, next to a NES game.
It's very obvious you don't live in California, where our consumer protection laws pretty much trump an EULA, which is fairly ironic since most major software companies with very restrictive EULAs have HQ here in California.
Nah, I didn't need any of that since I used to work for HP repairing their laptops, specifically the model I have right now. It wasn't too hard for me to just change up the.INF and add one line of text and numbers to get the drivers to install properly.
Laptopvideo2go is the place to go for mobile video drivers. They provide custom-hacked.INF files and drivers to match.
Really, there's just no reason for this to NOT be included in the.inf. Just disable the Vista-only features and run the damned thing - NVIDIA uses a UNIFIED DRIVER ARCHITECTURE so there's no reason I should have had to hack the.INF file to get the ForceWare installer to install the exact same driver for every other nvidia card on the planet.
Good luck finding XP drivers for any of nVidia's newer mobile graphics. I had to hack the.inf file to get the ForceWare installer to recognize my 8600M GS in my HP DV9825 under windows xp pro.
Really, the only reason we're moving to digital, besides more channels/advertising pumped down your throat/easier to charge more for a modified analog signal because digital DOES NOT EXIST, is because you can encrypt the signal so only specified radios pick up the channel (e.g. automobile radios, Ford/Chevy/Dodge pays to have their factory radios able to decrypt this broadcast) and to otherwise record the radio broadcast and redistribute it would be a violation of the DMCA. Once again, this is only to protect a dying business model. Let the old coots die, and the newer, younger, SMARTER generation could (though doubtfully) get rid of the DMCA and make a business model that makes piracy near-useless. Shit, if I could listen to an entire album and decide if it's worth buying before I actually buy it, I might very well do that! In fact, most things I've bought came from listening to pirated versions from LAN parties and sneakernet sources!

Guess how insignificant the ARPA funding is compared to the infrastructure?

internet access is a product not a right
Bullshit.
Show me the right to internet access in the Constitution, please. Since when does something developed by private entities (universities across the globe) need to be treated as a public utility, hrm?
if 3G is really limited, tell me, what is Verizon using for their wireless nationwide broadband service?
That's right, it's 3G based on (likely) EV-DO. What the fuck is Verizon doing selling unlimited data plans on that and then saying it's limited?

I had to tell Google to GTFO my property. They came in past a no trespassing sign and started taking pictures.
How about they start by not breaking the fucking law that protects my property?

Sorry for the late response (I'm on vacation) but Doppler Shift is responsible for the inaccuracy.

You must be running 95 or 98 if you're getting driver conflicts - I haven't had those issues since Win2K
