Oh, why can't the web players (either Flash or HTML5) just throw the material on an YUV overlay like in the old days. If someone here wants to observe how much CPU is minimally needed, please grab some videos using youtube-dl and put them playing in mplayer.
Email addresses are hard to change. I know a lot of people who still have their email address from 10 years ago and don't want to touch it because that's the email address everyone has and tracking down everyone on the old address would be far too hard.
That is also why it is dangerous to tie an e-mail to some ISP.
Oh by the way, why didn't they just choose "C:\Programs" instead of "C:\Program Files" in Windows world. Of course a folder contains files! It must have been some Windows 95 thing that we now have to use these fancy new file names with spaces. While they moved to "C:\Users", they could have made this change too.
Here's an interesting ultra-cheap netbook I found one day. It obviously does not come without flaws and the specs are weak, but for 65€ it offers great value and is a nice entry-level system to get you connected if you're poor.
It's still amazing how well x86 + Windows works, taking in account all the hacks and legacy cruft involved. However, it's delightful to finally see ARM being more and more utilized outside the smartphone category, in PCs.
Think about this the entire image of pascal and dos would run in what we would consider to be 'minimum cpu cache' these days...
Oh. Maybe 3 years ago there was a comment in Slashdot where some guy said he was able to disconnect RAM of a running system on the fly and Windows 95 ran for a good while straight from the cache of a modern CPU. The core components did fit there.
Hey! Is there still alive GBA dev scene? For example, gbadev.org is nice but it seems quite dead. I see this like a nice minimal/embedded platform to make stuff for, but would I be just wasting my time? Maybe there is other similar platforms that would make more sense today?
Meh. I think the article is a bit shallow when talking about "frequency" being the only characteristic of sound. Does a bare high-frequency sine give you the same chills than the chalkboard or plate thing. Not to me. So there's more to it, and I would think the biggest factor of it is knowing or/and seeing where the sound comes from.
Aside the official minimum requirement, a minimal Windows 7 installation out of box will actually use only 10GB. Then of course it will inflate greatly over time, so I agree that 32GB will be quite tight. I have a 40GB SSD and could sometimes have use for more space.
It does. And while Google says that the "photographs will capture nothing different to what a customer would see", with the pictures you certainly have more time to carefully look at the details and make more accurate plans. I'm not trying to crush a potentially useful idea, but there is some apparent security risks.
Most people I've set it up for like it a lot better than the current ribbon-infested Microsoft version.
Recently LibreOffice corrupted line art horribly in my documents which made me quickly switch to Office. I still cannot trust LO to be compatible with the rest of the world. Maybe for basic text-only stuff you're good.

OT, but I owe almost my entire programming career to Gorillas; it was just complex enough for an 8-year-old to make 'cool' modifications to.
And interestingly, I think Angry Birds also owes a bit to Gorillas.

I don't see why you should bar anons from getting mod points.
I also don't see why pseudo-random would not be enough for all art forms. It's so miniscule difference in that context after all.

Yes, assuming it's physically possible -- the OP could be hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Nothing beats in-person interaction.
The FaceTime feature of the iPad would be nice for that kind of situation.

Yes, it indeed has a feeling of being some kind of scratch directory.
Maybe /cfg would have been nice...
There's an informative Wikipedia article about it too.

Isn't your head a bit itchy? Shouldn't it be scratched?

Nice answers.yahoo.com tribute. :)
The paranoid would say that this is a plan by the HDD manufacturers to get people to switch over to SSD's instead.
No. It's clear that that kind of flooding will have real impact on manufacturing and prices.
The problem is the media calls bloody everything a virus, even program glitches on occasion.
What I have also noticed is that bugs are more often called glitches these days.
That went past me too.
Ah yes, in FPGA case that's indeed true.
We saw that phenomenon also when Win7 came out and people were to defend their Vista purchases. :)
Mahjong Titans should also warm up the long winter nights.
It does.

Have you tried Libre Office lately?
