Because when you're only talking to a 56k modem, 1x gives you more than enough bandwidth. It also has the wonderful property (as mentioned above) as being essentially the same as a phone call, in terms of the burden placed on the carrier (and so should be charged for the same as a phone call).
int buffer_size_for_int(int foo) { int bufLen = 1;// To hold '\0' if (foo < 1) bufLen++;// for -ve sign, or 0 while (foo) { foo / 10; bufLen++; } return bufLen; }
I'm sure someone can do better, but I want wanted to point out it's not only possible but easy. Though it's probably better to just say that ints are 16bit, so you've got 5 digits and possible a -ve sign, so make your buffer char[7] and you get to avoid doing dynamic memory allocation (which on platforms like the 8-bit AVR you really want to avoid). If you're gonna run out of memory because you statically allocated 7 bytes then you were going to anyway because you have to account for the worst case.
BTW, anyone know how to get slash to let me indent my code?
I did more or less the same, except I bought the second card straight away when I sent the first one back for RMA (and didn't feel like spending months without a graphics card).
The biggest problem for me what that in DirectX games, v-sync didn't work. Page tearing annoys the hell out of me. This was when I discovered there is NO MECHANISM to report a bug to nVidia. NONE. All you can do it talk to your card manufacturer (in my case, ASUS), who will work through their script in broken english and eventually throw your bug report into the bit-bucket and tell you to take you card back to where you bought it (who will find nothing wrong with it, and charge you shipping both ways).
What's worse, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to report driver bugs to nVidia. I suppose you just have to hope they notice it and fix it in the next release.
Not just every day. I "met" my girlfriend's uncle (who I had known for over a year) twice in the space of a couple of hours. He gets lost in his own home and asks where my girlfriend is (she moved out two years ago).
What's worse is his wife is still in denial about it and is caring for him and her father pretty much on her own.
Remember: the hardware configuration the software sees is what the rootkit opts to report. This is where this all falls apart. It's pretty trivial to notice if the hardware you're running on has changed, and as mentioned in The Fine Article/Paper, it's bloody impossible to emulate every possible hardware combination out there, or even any of the common ones. I'd love to see an virtual machine that can fool my nVidia driver that it has an 8800 and can run fast enough for even basic desktop usage, let alone any sort of multimedia or gaming. It's just not going to happen.
iRiver discontinued the H300 series because they're giant bricks with terrible interfaces. I appreciate the features at least as much as the next slashdotter, but the damn things are 2-3 times as thick as my 4th-gen ipod and have a terrible interface.
If you're going to build a MythTV box, put digital tuners in it instead of analogue ones. Then you don't need a set top box, and they're cheaper anyway.

If you upgrade the crossbow it does more damage and the bolts hardly ever break so you can pick them up again from the corpse. My favourite tactic for most enemies was to zap them and then shoot them in the head with the crossbow. Almost always kills in one hit, and almost always you get your ammo back. I'm sure I'd have trouble getting that headshot if I had to aim with a 360 controller instead of a mouse.
But this time it'll be blamed on ringtone-piracy! And those dirty, evil phone manufacturers making phones that can use MP3s as ringtones. Because we all know that MP3 is the devil's format, an nothing without without DRM could ever be legit.
This is part of the reason why video ads especially annoy me. Not only are they annoying, never relevant to anything I care about, and start talking at me from another tab but they're COSTING ME BANDWIDTH. If you think I'm going to pay for you to try and sell me something you're mad.
nVidia drivers have NOT been great lately. What with their efforts being spread by the 8800, SLI and vista things have really deteriorated. There are a few (official, WHQL) drivers that simply bluescreen on boot - had to boot safe mode to uninstall them to get things going again. BSODs are a regular occurrence these days, especially when playing new or beta games - DRIVER STUCK IN INFINITE LOOP is a message I've seen a lot lately.
And of course there's no way to actually report any of these problems - if you're not running vista, they apparently just don't want to know.
I don't know what rate they use, but listening to their copy of The All-American Rejects - The Last Song it was noticeably worse than listening to my copy in winamp. The bass was muddy and too loud while the guitar and vocals sounded tinny.
But here's the kicker: my copy isn't FLAC, or high-bitrate MP3, or even 128k MP3. It's an 118k ABR mp3 from/ages/ ago. Not really hard to beat.
A Space heater attachment as a fireplace replacement on those cold winter nights. I kept my college room warm last winter by running Distributed Climate Prediction on my boxen... it worked alarmingly well, and I loved the irony of warming my room by predicting global warming:D
Open in New Tab, Mute, and Go Away are much needed. A "don't open in new window" option would be good too.
I guess Play/Pause, Rewind and Skip would be handy too, but my main annoyances are with flash navigation breaking my browser's usual UI (ie, I can't middle click on a link to open a new tab). Also, if anything in your flash requires scrolling, it had better work with my scroll wheel.
My ADSL2+ connects at 10mbps. So by your price, that should run me $300 for unlimited. I'm currently paying $120 for 60GB. Oversubscribe by 3:1 should get me over 800GB with room for profit...
To [mis]quote someone's sig "Try reading my posts before responding to them. It's like reading, but of my posts." If you'd have read my 2nd or 3rd paragraph you would've noticed that I most certainly don't put everyone in those two groups.
You do bring up an important point about the "feedback loop" though. "Listening To The Boys" is a very interesting read relating to that (specifically, the effect that gender and gender separation in education has on it).

Problem is, many laptops don't have XP drivers. For example, the Dell 1720 doesn't have graphics drivers for XP.

They've been arrested and charged with "entering a restricted area without justification", under new laws created for APEC. Un-Australian is right.
Probably so people don't confuse 802.11o with 802.110.
