I really wish people would look past the politics and see what causes the politics. Sadly, the root of this problem we're having is caused by our wonderful Second Law of Thermodynamics, so funnily enough Thermodynamics is the source of the political hoarding/invading/stealing/killing/price-gouging.
But we can't do away with that. So instead of working with nature, we fight amongst ourselves and ignore other sources of energy. Oh, hai there, big fusion reactor in the sky.
Seriously, the ROI energy-wise is just absolute crap. Then when somethign goes wrong, even a seal or gasket, you're looking at losing two or more barrels of your crude just to replace that part to keep pumping crude (not to mention how much crude you just lost while that seal or gasket was leaking like a well-used hooker.)
Having worked in the oil industry, let me tell you the main costs.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS TO PUMP WHEN YOU'RE ONLY GETTING AN OVERALL *TWO FUCKING PERCENT* RETURN ON ENERGY INVESTED? Let's not forget that ONE little o-ring for one of the shafts costs over FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS (yes, four fucking hundred for a little 5g piece of RUBBER, that's THREE BARRELS OF OIL just to replace ONE LITTLE PART.)
How about instead of relying upon stupid reports, work the damned field yourselves. Get your ass on an oil rig and work it six months straight (with a lovely six month vacation afterwards!) and maybe you'd know better instead of relying upon economic reports made up by fucktards who have less statistical sense than Pascal.
"Cyclists are vulnerable road users, yes, but they are also the worst traffic offenders."
Tell that to the fucking drunk driver that fell asleep at the wheel, crossed over two lanes of traffic, hopped the curb, and nailed me as I was cycling on the sidewalk to a friend's house.
Yea, say I'm the worst offender again, asshole. I use signals, have proper lighting and reflective clothing/bike markers, I don't listen to music and I pay damned good attention to my surroundings. Until my accident I could keep pace in a 45MPH zone on my 18 speed.
Better I know that the key has been fully pressed than having to waste time going back to insert a letter that didn't get inserted the first time due to soft-switch keyboards.
Also, slower? I do 150WPM on a model M with ACCURACY. I can't do that with ANY other keyboard.
Considering each click registers at approximately 35dB I really doubt you'll sustain any hearing damage. Time to finish repairing the pins on the PS2 plug.
The Wiimote has too much LAG to be worth a shit in something as time-critical as a fight. There's the acceptable Classic controller for fighting games, but otherwise, it's not worth a damn. Interesting usage for Metroid Prime 3, though it's a pain for people with my arm injuries.
You don't need a new antenna when you can just add a cheap two dollar quartz tuner to it, or maybe just even shorten the antenna length to have it tune into that new frequency, yea? C'mon, your UID should be screaming "No problem for me to do!"
The Wii controller accelerometer can barely allow for a soft putt on Wii Sports' Golf, and you actually think it's going to be worth a shit for Street Fighter?
I'll take two of whatever you're drinking. I want to be in your world.
THE WII CONTROLLER IS NOT DESIGNED FOR ARCADE-STYLE FIGHTING GAMES.
A d-pad and TWO easily accessible buttons does not really work in Street Fighter where there are three strengths of kicks and punches. You'd have to use a GameCube controller to even come close to being able to play it effectively.
Just how many computers have a touch screen built in? I'm excluding POS systems and ATMs. I don't think one out of every one hundred thousand consumer PCs have a touch screen, let alone one out of a million!
"I'll be annoyed when my analog antenna stops working, but hopefully by then a digital antenna + tuner will be $20."
Sorry, but no matter how you send the information, it all ends up as an analog waveform. Your analog antenna will NEVER be useless. Digital DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST. It's really sad nobody can get that thru their heads. That electrical 'digital' signal traveling thru the silicon in your processor? Analog waveform in the form of electricity. The damned tech should be called "Partialog" since they're only using parts of an analog wave to create 'digital.'
The AMA is about the same as the FDA. They label Nicotine addiction as Tobacco addiction? That's like saying Marijuana is a drug when in reality it's a plant and THC is the drug.
Tobacco addiction - the fact you go with the AMA on that and not call it for what it really is pretty much says you're about as clueless as they are.
Just FYI, I used to grow tobacco. Before additives, it's almost NOT addictive when smoked, and when chewed you don't really even get a buzz. You BARELY get cravings. Then Philip-Morris puts their other foul crap in. Now you've got a head rush, and you can't fucking walk straight.
The AMA needs to call it "Rich-Bitch Disease" because it's those rich motherfuckers making it worse.
Far more networks converge in Memphis, since it's THE transportation hub of the country, you need massive logistical support. Chicago PALES in comparison as far as access to backbones goes.
And while nicotine is addictive, it's all the additives put into the tobacco that are far more powerful and are more addicting. Smoke a regular unadulterated (like Natural Spirit) cigarette, wait a few hours - no cranky "gimme another" feeling. Do that with a Marlboro. I don't think you reasonably could due to your body's dependence on all the additives.
Again, Tobacco Addiction is not a disease. AMA has been a joke for the better half of a century. They're right in line with the FDA.
TOBACCO ADDICTION IS NOT A DISEASE. Results of tobacco addiction, like emphysema, lung cancer, THOSE are diseases. Addiction is a precursor, and nothing more.
I thought TPM was all about controlling the HARDWARE inside of a computer. Every time we had an issue with a laptop not wanting to boot up because of the hard drive or different processor was installed, it was due to the TPM module. Replace with the original part, and everything worked properly again. How does this relate to software?

You might want to rethink your words.
You're not at a loss for words if you can put two of them to effective use, sir. :)

Atom is only here because of AMD's Geode, so Intel should be playing the copycat game.
Short answer: no.
Atom is x86 based (I think) whereas this is ARM-based. Vista isn't even ARM compatible.

We already made one, it's called MUGEN.

Which reminds me - since it's not TOBACCO that you're addicted to, but NICOTINE, where does the AMA get off mislabeling the damned 'disease?'

Otherwise they'd have found more simian DNA than Human, and he'd be fired!
