where is the justification or authority for disciplining children for activities off school grounds?
The justification is in the lack of action against it when it happens. Of the parents who see a problem with this, few make it past the "threaten to sue" stage.
Operating temperature: 32 to 95 F (0 to 35 C) Nonoperating temperature: -4 to 113 F (-20 to 45 C) Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)
the let alone now part is wrong - if you take alook around 80% of laptops being sold today have that shitty 1366x768 screen even when they are 15in.. sorry but sadly the quality of the average screen has been going down hill for a long time.
80% of consumer retail laptops, perhaps, with the notable exception of Apple (their 15" laptops use 1440x900 screens).. If you want something better, it's not difficult to order it.
The cost of the average laptop has been going down for a long time; it wasn't that long ago that there weren't many new laptops sold under $750. If you want to pay over $1000, you can get a much better screen.
Which means pretty much any home theater stereo system (minus a few very, very high end ones) will no longer work with encrypted HDMI.
I purchased my relatively low end home theater receiver in 2007, and it includes HDMI/HDCP support. It was the cheapest available with 8-channel LPCM input at the time.
If they start doing AACS, and forcing encryption over HDMI, then if I buy a new component that meets the new standard
AACS is the copy protection on the disc. HDMI has HDCP, and your equipment might already support it.
I do have a vga output which can get me 768 lines on my hdtv
Seems like a problem with your setup. My HDTV supports 1080p VGA input, and any netbook with the GMA 900 or newer should support output at this resolution.
still won't get you to 1080p like mentioned in the article...I can't get past 768 lines This is not a limitation of VGA, but a problem with your configuration. 1920x1080 at 60 Hz is well within VGA supported bandwidth - it is suported by the GMA 950 and 1080p displays which have non-broken VGA input processing.
GPUs with hardware decoding are in most non-netbook systems nowadays. The Intel 4 series mobile chipsets have H.264 decoding, as do all recent ATI and nVidia GPUs.
Then they have a compatibility set somehow as the older drivers would not be able to operate in Kernel Mode as they would expect, which was part of XPDM. The Win2k driver model won't work, nor will NT4's. So the point still stands.
I'm pretty sure all Video and Sound drivers will from WinXP SP3 and earlier will not work with Windows Vista and later.
No. XPDM (Windows XP Driver Model) graphics drivers work on Vista and 7. This is how non-Aero capable graphics cards work on NT6 (such as the Intel GMA 900 and virtual graphics devices other than the latest VMware and Parallels versions). The same is true for audio. The old driver interfaces are still present, but you don't get the new features.
64bit windows has deprecated a lot of the driver interfaces (out of necessity) so good luck getting your old hardware to work with 10 year old binary drivers.
If you need to use ten year old hardware, do you need to use x86-64?
With IOMMUs, you can just run a virtualized guest and pass the device to it - be it Windows 7 or something older. (Of course, you can still run recent software on 10 year old versions of Windows...)
Which OS new is using 5 year old drivers, windows 7 does not like XP drivers.
Most Windows 2000/XP drivers work in Windows 7. This is how non-Aero capable graphics drivers work in Windows Vista and Windows 7; they use the same driver interface as in Windows XP.
But when you buy a new computer - like for Christmas - you will pay the Microsoft tax and get a thin version of office
No. MS Office is not included with retail systems, except as a free trial or build-to-order option. A lot of christmas computer shoppers don't buy or use Office at home.

Optical is limited to 2 channel LPCM or AC3/DTS - no support for EAC3, lossless compressed formats, or 8 channel LPCM.

LCD screens don't really like the cold.

720p is high definition compared to 480i/p NTSC, video, and DVD content.

Not Atom netbooks with Intel GPUs.
You might be interested in learning about the VGA port.

Do you have a screen with more than 480/576 lines?
Do you have headphones?
The Windows XP Display Driver Model (XPDM) is the display driver model used in the Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.

How many people need to use old hardware and x86-64?
OEMs can install any OS version they like, as can users... especially the users who care about using five year old drivers.
If you need to use ten year old hardware, do you need to use x86-64?
With IOMMUs, you can just run a virtualized guest and pass the device to it - be it Windows 7 or something older. (Of course, you can still run recent software on 10 year old versions of Windows...)

As of today: just one! (Yesterday the answer would be none.)
Windows 7 still supports the driver interfaces that came with Windows 2000.
Not a problem on operating system with stable driver ABIs.
Except you can buy a significantly faster CPU and one significantly cheaper to operate...
and only uses 5 times as much energy to do the same tasks!
This is a popular explanation, but it seems to be no more than a correlation.

Unlikely - Office 2003 works on Windows 7 and Office 2010 will work on Windows XP.
