First time I tried it I fired up a random application (mIRC) and was surprised that everything (that I tried at least) worked flawlessly.
Should help ease the transition, but don't forget that you can probably find native Linux apps that do what the Windows apps do as well, might be worth looking into them. So WINE can be used as a stepping stone or a permanent solution.
I was reading a Wikipedia article about a Wiki vandal. It said he vandalized Wiki and this Star Trek wiki. So I was like ooh... what's this... and then it hit me. This vandal, who tried to damage this wiki, had instead inadvertently drawn my traffic to it. Thanks, Willie on Wheels!:D
I wouldn't be surprised if David Perlmutter is just as wrong as Bill Gates was. Just because the need is inconceivable now doesn't mean a surprising twist in technological advancement (ie to make lots of cores on one processor cheap and easy, for example) plus new software (read: games) that would require that kind of power won't have us all running on 32-core PCs in the future.
On the other hand, it IS more likely that some other method of increasing performance will be discovered/used.
The DS firmware has multiple versions, however updating is transparent to the user, and occurs when they fire up a game with the firmware update on it.
The "clearest" update is the one that adds the ability for the DS to talk to Nintendo's WiFi Connection service via ordinary routers. This update also breaks a loophole in the GBA emulation code that allows DS code to be executed from a GBA cart. The first Action Replay relied on this, so the upgrade broke it. I bought one and discovered it didn't work. The most annoying thing though, is the box art for the AR shows it being used with a Mario Kart DS cart... which is one of the games that includes the AR-breaking update!
I think "Kicked by console" must be some sort of certification or something, because I'm pretty good at CS and I get that all the time when I play and do well. Also people call me a "wallhack" and "aimbot", I don't know exactly what this means but I figure it's analogous to the title "Doctor" IRL.
I've fiddled around with beta 3 for a bit, it's just as stable as IE6 is (even moreso, if you can believe that). I think this summary was written by someone scared of "beta" software.
As for breaking webpages, big deal. IE6 has been breaking webpages for years. Now at least the web designers who built pages for the IE6 "standard" instead of the STANDARD standards will taste a bit of our pain.
Only IE7 bug I noticed is that IE7 REFUSES to remove borders on iframes (or maybe it's the body tag inside the iframe). Using CSS or deprecated HTML attributes have no effect. IE6 does not have this problem.
I think for the most part it's a result of overreactive parents, combined with what I like to call "baby sitter syndrome" ("Why won't the public school teach my kids morals?!?! Why won't the gov't baby sit my kids?!?! Oh my, my kids are playing video games all the time, and I can't turn it off because they cry and scream and make a scene! I need a Gaming Clinic/Baby sitter to fix my kids for me!")
Disclaimer: I don't have kids of my own so the above is probably warped by views of other people who don't have kids of their own, not to mention stereotypes are rarely all-encompassing. Don't take it too personally. I was, however, at one point a kid, and I did have parents (who restricted my video gaming and computer time) so I think I still have some things to say on the matter.
Gaming for me was a phase. I always have enjoyed a good game, but it's not the same as it was when I was a kid. I would play games for hours on end, but now it seems my standards are higher or my attention span lower, because games don't tend to "hook" me as often as they used to.
I still enjoy a good game of course, but I think I'm still largely "gamed out" from when I was a kid.
Yeah, since I don't think TiVo would be able to interpret when you change the channel, turn off the TV, mute the volume and open a book or otherwise get around these stupid restrictions as skipping ads.:)
I hear plans for businesses tend to actually give you the limit you pay for, and without throttling... I think the reasoning is that businesses are paying for bandwidth that they NEED for their mission-critical... things (sorry I only took business 101, and I ran out of buzzwords). Anyways, MY thoughts on this are, if you were an ISP, would YOU want to cut off a business when they might train their lawyers on you? I thought not.
Skype will attempt to tunnel over HTTPS or HTTP if it's normal route is blocked. So O2 doesn't really block VOIP completely at all. You should tell them that their measures only hurt legitimate customers, and then switch providers.

I rather enjoyed the multiplayer. It's rather fun to go into spirit mode and score some cheap shots against someone before they manage to knock you back into the real world... but you gotta hide your body, because it's easy for others to hear it when you're in spirit mode (I seemed to have a knack for finding my opponent trying to hide this way).
The sunbeam weapon (read: the weapon that sucks in those balls of the walls, with the "light" balls) is fun to wield, but also sucks to be killed with (it's equivalent to that gun in Half-Life 1 that uses the nuclear energy packs and goes WHIIIIIR... forgot what it's called:( oh well).
Portals are fun too, especially since you can wedge yourself BEHIND some (others can still figure out you're there because the portal is open) and fire through where the portal is with most weapons. Hehehe.
I know XP actually offers to NOT format the install partition for you, which is nice if Windows has bricked and you don't do backups as often as you should.
Vista can install to a secondary hard drive (from what I read it's the first MS OS to be able to do so, probably thanks to the new boot loader) and it automatically supports dual booting with older Windows' (NT based at least) and will detect them and automatically set up the boot loader (it can be changed with bcdedit.exe and there are a couple unofficial GUI tools as well).
I don't know if it supports Linux. bcdedit.exe allows you to specify a drive and path to the OS loader file, but I'm guessing the boot loader probably only supports NTFS and FAT32...
Also it's worth noting Vista's bcdedit.exe can be used from within XP successfully,
This is software that does what you need, written for the TI-83 (should work fine on an 84 too). Since it's open source, you can peek at the source code to get an idea of how its 3d rendering works.
Unfortunately, most TI calculator apps are coded in assembly...
"and yet you still see some idiots suggesting you run 2-4 different AV applications just to "be sure you're safe"."
And then they complain when their computer blue screens all the time when the anti-virus apps conflict with each other. I had this problem when I accidentally left AVG on (I thought I had turned it off but apparently not) and ran Windows OneCare. Occasionally accessing random DLLs would cause a blue screen.

Where the hell did that number come from?

At any rate, you should look into it.

Or I could get BartPE which is a LEGAL stripped-down XP version (since you build it yourself from your own install disks).
and that's all!
