Yes - even if it has to simulate elements of the Windows kernel, it doesn't fit into my definition of "emulator". I've even heard of it running faster than Windows in some cases, on the same hardware!
There's nothing stopping you from connecting in a PC to that setup of course..
I was considering replacing my dual CRT setup a couple of years ago, but I decided it was better to spend the money on a decent TV that can act as a PC monitor when necessary, rather than get both a medium range monitor and a TV that couldn't handle 1080p. As far as PC usage goes I'm actually happy using my netbook though, and the TV/surround system get used for movies and gaming.
It would be cheap enough assuming their device is giving out a good signal, but I've read stories before where the search for a missing hiker took several days and costs millions.
I'd be happy to rely on a satnav to guide me somewhee if I was on holiday or even out hiking etc. I can read maps fine, but would have one for backup only.. just because someone is "smart" doesn't mean they don't also value convenience.
I also am a little bit annoyed that we complain about the RIAA and MPAA as clinging to an old business model and then as book publishers and retailers try something new (or are even rumored to try something new) we hop all over it and denounce it as a crime against humanity
Digital vs physical distribution is a completely separate issue from injecting ads where previously there were none.
As long as they keep the paid for version separate from the ad supported version as you say, I'm fine with it. If they have ads even in fully paid for eBooks, I'm sticking to paperbacks. Yes, I'm one of those people that see no ads on/. , and I haven't even clicked "disable advertising" on the front page.
Why would they bait their breath? I await your reply with bated breath.

Yeah I found it rather sad when he was like "now this is what you've all been waiting for!", I thought he was going to load Other OS - but instead he demonstrates that you can now pirate games.. what an asshole..
I always think it sounds lame. It's rather cumbersome - 5 syllables instead of the three. Plus when I see WTF I don't see it as the letters, I read it as "what the fuck?" anyway. With something like "lol" I just read it as its own word now, it doesn't mean laugh out loud anymore, it's more of a "I know what I'm saying is kinda lame but I hope you don't mind"
Math sounds awkward to me, because I was brought up with Maths. This is like an essay I read ages ago about why rear wheel drive is more natural than front. I thought it was a load of crap because I'd learned to drive in FWD vehicles and my natural driving instincts in certain situations were different to what the guy said that the "natural" was.
For most things in life whatever is more "natural" for you often depends on what you were brought up with/trained on.
Now a "troll" mod and several more redundants. Do you have multiple accounts just for modding people down? You're even more petty and insecure than I realised..
I'm assuming you've already heard of it, but you can use something like ksplice to patch up the kernel on the fly. It's not necessary to skip updates even if you want 100% uptime.
lol, I knew it was you that doing all the down mods, Pietje, since there were exactly 5 of them. Did you notice how it was actually you that had the last word in the other conversation? Probably not.

WINE isn't an emulator any more than DirectX and OpenGL are emulators..

with the advancement in tools to help us navigate more effectivily, who really wants to take an old school map with them
Anyone who knows just how fickle and fragile electronic devices can be, and who knows the value of a good backup?
It's inevitable that geo-technology and *gasp* geo-equipped apps on cellphones, are going to make this all but even worse
So they're going to make things better?
Got to love well worded comments complaining about stupidity!
I doubt many people can afford the potential millions..
I wonder how long before they manage to get rid of the libraries..
Can you borrow eBooks from libraries now? That's pretty cool, if a little strange..

Well, approximately.
More like doing a rasterised live render of Toy Story rather than watching the fully ray traced version.

in the two weeks I have one, I spent productively a lot of time that would be otherwise wasted having sex, in places I wouldn't take a laptop to.
FTFY :)
shockingly enough the most popular distro is also the only one to get hit with a screensaver malware
FTFY.
