I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and not a Nexus 7 for one specific reason: the Galaxy Tab has an SD slot that I can plug a 32gig card into. The Nexus 7, Google seems determined to force the user to store their 'stuff' in the cloud. Sorry. My net connection is sporatic and I prefer not to be always tethered.
One of the privacy issues with iOS or generic Android is that you are locked into the Apple or Google survellience sphere. So I run Firefox on Android, and never log into a Google account on it. The Chrome browser is good for that. I'm not sure I would use the web as much at all on mobile devices if all there were was a Google browser or a skinned Safari (which is all you can get on iOS)
I bought the 'spare parts' for the hard drive I most recently repaired on Ebay.
I had a failed 200g Maxtor drive. It had a lot of important stuff on it that I wanted back. It failed in such a fashion that it just quit spinning entirely so I gambled that it was an electrical problem on the logic board. I went on eBay and searched until I found exactly the same Maxtor drive, even down to the firmware version. It's nice that they have the zoom-able pictures on eBay and that many sellers post high resolution pictures.
It got me the data back perfectly. The repaired drive even works, though I'm leery about using it any longer.
Bullshit. Blaming 'all of society' is a cop-out. It has appeal when we are young adventurist rebels to think we need to 'roll over' all of society, but then we grow up. Hopefully without growing cynical, though it is a letdown to not have the easy answers to draw on that youthful dogma once suggested.
Also, fanaticism isn't really the basis for a long-term resiliant military force. It works well enough before any battle engagement, but over the long haul, the NK soldiers might discover they were fighting fellow Koreans and the mists of their indoctrination might rapidly disperse.
Important people within IBM actually didn't want to make too powerful a machine. The IBM PC was supposed to be a peripheral 'smart terminal' box attached to IBM Mainframes. At least that was one 'side' of the internal struggle within IBM.
Right now you will find difficulty in even buying primers. You can save all the brass that you like, Without primers to plug into the brass you're kinda SOL.
The 'Saturday Night Special' was the term used for extremely cheap handguns. My father has one that he bought when I was a kid. An extremely LOUD and inaccurate revolver that shoots.22 shorts. I believe it cost him around $8-10 and he bought it by mail order.
The point with Saturday Night Specials, and really the reason for the term, was that they were considered to be cheap fast and pretty near disposable guns.
I would think the ATF would be more concerned about lots of this type of weapon being out there.
I had a 486DX33. I was unintentionally badass for quite awhile because I had the AT-bus multiplier set wrong on my motherboard for a long, long time. I don't remember the exact figure, but I was running the clock on the IO channel about 33% faster. I didn't notice it until I eventually plugged in a card that wouldn't run faster than the design and figured out why.
Certainly more silicon chip vendors wished IBM had gone with the 68000. Because they would have been able to design and sell a heck of a lot of new chips to IBM to support a machine with a 16 bit data bus. By chosing the 8088, they could incorporate all the off-the shelf that 8-bit bus support chips (8250, 8255, 8251, etc.) that were already on the market.
No, IBM was really smart to use a lower-end chip that already had a robust family of peripheral chips matched to it.
You probably also meant an 8088 at 4.77 MHz. Unless you're talking about some odd weird 'compatible,' the x86 clone motherboards of that era were all 8088 based. The AT&T 6300 had the 8086 processor and the wider 16-bit bus, but it was a weird semi-compatible.
I still have a working 8086 box, but it's an Altos 586, which is an 8086 box that supports five users on Microsoft Xenix (Pre-SCO) in 512K of RAM.
Yours had 32 pins? Mine all have 30 pins. What were the extra pins for, and what sort of motherboard could they go into. I have some still. One set is in a Mac SE/30, another set in a Sun IPX.
The 486DX-2 66 wasn't really the fastest processor. Throughput-wise, it had a mere 33 MHz bus. If you were serious, you had a 486DX 50, with the 50 MHz bus. But then you had to deal with the faster bus, which had compatibility issues; since so many people poked along with the DX-2, support for the 50 MHz bus wasn't as robust.
Technically, you could say that you develop with iOS, if you have an iPod Touch and use an editor on it to do any form of developer. For instance you could write MASM code for Microsoft's x86 Macro Assembler in the editor. The language you pasted in does not say what you are developing for, just what you're developing with.

Thank goodness HTML5 isn't really 'real' yet or the eye-spammers would be doing their wizardly ads in HTML5 and shitting ads on my browser's margin.
Godwin's Law was a usenet meme, from the time when threads would go on for weeks or months. It doesn't apply to every instance of mentioning NAZI era Germany. Particularly it doesn't apply in a forum where threads go on at most, by design, for a few days before rolling out of view.

The problem is, Kim's grip on power depends on maintaining the myth that' they are all out to get us.'

Umm, sorry. Nobody has half the globe to claim. Not even you, apparently claiming 'your' half.
Evil is an attribute, not an active party.

The Pentium and its successors were the first computer chips designed by the marketing department rather than the engineering department!
Uh, you misspelled 'Altivec' up there.
The Pentium Pros have the most gold in them. I have a pile of them in a box somewhere and should cash them in.

Be fair, now. Anything can be transformed into a piece of shit by putting Windows 98 on it.

The only connection with Macs is that a Mac was used to build and submit it.
Not necessarily. It might have been developed on a Hackintosh.
You're right. They're not at all the same.
