The answer is you copyright your friends' band stuff. If they try using it or try taking it, use the DMCA to shut them down and collect on exorbitant fees.
While you might not be able to get updates, if their machines are still weak then it's likely Windows 2000 is all they could run at maximum.
On top of that, I still have two Win2K boxes up and running. One's uptime is almost hitting two years, now. Show me an uptime like that with Vista or XP. Hell, show me a Vista uptime of longer than two weeks!
I'm still using my SBLive! 5.1 card - mainly as a guitar FX processor (minus using it's 'distortion' and 'auto-wah' which just plain sucks.) Windows XP had the wonderful EAX control panel which would let me chain four effects together for making practically any sound I desired for my guitar.
Then came Vista - adios to that functionality. Creative now sucks royal balls.
No, there is only one NTSC standard - NTSC M, which has 525 lines, 60 fields, a 15.734 KHz horizontal frequency, 60 Hz Vertical frequency, Color Subcarrier Frequency of 3.579545 MHz, Video Bandwidth s 4.2 MHz, and the Sound Carrier operates in 4.5 MHz range. There are many broadcast standards, but NTSC by itself has no variations. You're thinking of PAL, which has 6 variations, or SECAM, which has seven variations.
When you look at the titles mentioned - you EASILY notice something - all of the games ATi wins at are D3D, whereas the other games where nVidia wins are OpenGL.
This is like comparing apples to oranges. Let's see games hat have both D3D and OpenGL renderers so we can get a REAL idea of performance.
Standard Def TV in the USA is NTSC at 29.97 FPS with 525 horizontal lines of resolution, NOT 640x480 @ 30FPS (30 FPS was dropped to 29.97 to adjust to the post WWII color standard.)
Last I checked around 2001 Rothschild obtained the patent on Gallium Nitride LEDs. Seven years to file a patent infringement claim? Columbia University is a patent troll.
Carbon nanotubes cannot act as veins/arteries, at least as of yet. When that happens, humanity will be taking a whole new direction, at least in the commerce section.
... is that the percentage of mercury in a CFL bulb is likely NEVER to make it into the water table unless they pump from the very very bottom of the water table/tank. Mercury is so heavy it automatically sinkss to the bottom of whatever is storing it with water. Memphis Light, Gas, and Water (mlgw.com) has noted this in their water treatment plants for YEARS when concern about their aquifers and mercury hit the news. It's a non-issue for the most part unless the water pumps hit so far at the bottom that they suck up mercury. This is why Memphis has some of the best aquifer water there is on the planet.
That was the onboard video chipset from nVidia. Absolute waste of silicon. You barely got 90 FPS in Q3. My old VooDoo4 had more power than that hunk of junk 6150.
Just what I don't need, free-radical generators. Not only is it a component of smog, but it's bad for organic substances as well. No thanks, I'll stick with a ball-bearing fan.
the last gen of cards from nVidia carried the 8800/8600/8500 numbering system. It would only make sense that they'd introduce a 9-series GeForce card. usually the *800's are the top of the line. *600 are the mid-range gaming cards, the *500s are crippled but usable lower-end cards. God help you if they continue to release *200 versions (last one I had was a 6200, never again.)
Excuse me? The readers do not require a pulse. They do require some sort of moisture to activate the sensor, but a pulse is just bullshit. I'm responsible for replacing the damned things for a large laptop repair company and I also own a thinkpad with biometrics, so I can easily say that requiring a pulse is BS. Obtaining a pulse from the fingertip is near-impossible. You have to get to the second joint of the finger where the skin is thinner.
First it was a tax on all digital recordable media (minus DAT, I think) to compensate and cover for musicians and the music industry, now there's talk of a surcharge to our network connections?
Hey, idea. Does that mean the *AA's have to pay that fee as well? If all of us have to, why shouldn't they? They're connected to the internet as well, they should be forced to pay this per month, but since they're holding large amounts of bandwidth, they should pay EXTRA. After all, their connection can download more music than my connection could. They face a greater threat of piracy within their own network!
See how my useless and nonsensical argument puts all this bullshit in it's proper light? It's ALL FUCKING STUPID.
The one thing we have yet to measure is how fast the "spooky effect" occurs. A good way to do so, I think, would be to make a pair of radios that use quantum entanglement for data transmission (IE they can only communicate with each other.) Place them on opposite sides of the world, and try holding a conversation. With that distance, you should be able to get an idea of just how fast this effect happens. If you could hold a conversation as if you were on a landline, as opposed to the lag you'd get with say, a cellphone, then there's the possibility that you could have faster than light communication. '
Another way to test would be to build two quantum-entangled network cards, put one in a satellite, the other in a computer, and measure a round-trip ping a couple thousand times. Up and back would be typically around 1-1.25 seconds for normal satellite transmissions, last I remembered. Hopefully this would be far faster.
Slashdot Mirror
no 'itsatrap' tag yet for the most obvious story to get one. Slashdotters are slipping.

It wasn't made from animal skin - it was made from hemp, as were most all parchments from the colonies in that era.
I got one message that was over a meg - nothing but links to porn sites. A thousand of those would eat up a fair amount of bandwidth.

Not a VT100. a PAR system running a 100 MHz Pentium with 64 megs of RAM.

McDonald's POS system is pure DOS.
The judge would just issue a temporary injunction against the act and bring your butt into the courtroom anyways.
We were using Gallium-Nitride laser diodes before then.
You should've been thinking "If man can make it, man can break it."

That's why it needs some form of moisture, to bridge the two electrical contacts to activate the scanner.

"Illegal downloaders need to stop freeloading off the rest of us and pay for the things they want."
Sorry, you shouldn't blame the downloaders, blame the uploaders, as they are the enablers of the whole thing.
Did you just arrive from Digg?

Just ideas and theories, don't pay me any mind.
