If you wanted to upgrade the processor, they provided a SECOND CPU socket that shipped empty. You want to upgrade you had to plug a new CPU into the replacement socket and then use a jumper to tell the board to use that socket instead of the built in CPU.
That was standard Intel tech at the time. Just like you expanded a 386 with a 387, you expanded a 486SX (which didn't have a FPU) with a 487SX - except that the 487SX was a full 486 with one or two pins changed and the 486SX was disabled.
So you say that because somebody else is paid by the fossil fuel industry too that makes Lindzen credible? Hmm. Now where might the fallacy be here?
And you just confirmed what I wrote. Taxing something shifts revenue away from it towards other things. That is exactly what we need. Shift revenue away from carbon, towards natural gas, nuclear and renewables. That does not have an effect on GDP per se.
Except that closing a window is a hell of a lot cheaper, easier and faster to do than fundamentally restructuring a world economy.
Several European countries have seen economic benefits from restructuring their economies towards less carbon intensive methods, like Germany and Denmark. There is nothing wrong with restructuring. It creates jobs and it is easily financed by shifting taxes. Billions are spent on pork and subsidies with a negative overall effect (like corn/bio alcohol.) With more political will and less lobbying this shift should be possible in the US too.
Jeez, talk about dead horses. - Insolation has been measured, with varying degrees of precision, for more than 100 years. The current consensus is that it explains at most 7% of global warming. - Lindzen is paid by the fossil fuel industry. Not credible as a researcher. - Taxes do not reduce GDP. After all, that money has to go somewhere.
I prefer orange oil based cleaners. They are often marketed as label or gum removers. Not only do they smell good, they also don't damage plastics. Oh and they're also a great insecticide and will keep ants away because all insects hate the smell - after all the oil is the oranges' natural defense.
I see "This site requires Internet Explorer 6" on our Intranet all the time. Peoplesoft for example, urgh. Of course, the site will run perfectly with Firefox if I change the user agent string.
Corporate Intranets with lazy admins or dumb policies are what keeps IE6 alive.
That depends entirely on how big your iron is. Dual quad core i7 with SSDs FTW. make -j20, but only at work. No, I'm not getting one of those at home, I even threw out the dual P4 Xeon system because I had to run the AC around the clock or my office got too hot.
RPM sucks. Or it's just the way the repos are managed, I don't know. Each time you download and try to install an oldish RPM (say from Redhat 4 days) you'll start hunting down glibc-something-or-other or glibc-compat-someversion. Try to install the generic VNC package from realvnc on RHEL 5 for example. This has never happened to me with Debian/Ubuntu. If it's available the package manager finds all dependencies as long as you have all repos enabled, period.
I used to do that in high school. Still I run Ubuntu these days, after Slackware and Redhat/Fedora in the past. I'm Windows free now so I actually run some systems as productivity tools. No more tinkering for the heck of it on those machines.
If I can run ssh, VNC and NX on it that is. And Firefox, Thunderbird and evince. And Cisco VPN. That's my basic set of tools. If it's a full featured phone too I'd spend maybe $500 on it.
Corporate MS-centric world that uses lots of Outlook/Exchange features that are not implemented in Evolution:( I use Evolution too but not everything is there.
I have several old XP licenses (from machines that I converted to Linux) and used one to run XP in a VM for Outlook. That's all I need it for. Maybe one day I'll try to get it to work with Wine.
It's not that hard to go back to a traditional desktop. Disable Netbook Launcher and Maximus in Startup Applications. Enable show_desktop in apps->nautilus->preferences in gconf-editor, then set up your panels. You can even keep the netbook-launcher icon and start the launcher when you want it.
My Eee PC 1005HA has a slightly slower CPU but twice as much RAM and disk as my 4 year old Latitude D800 which was pretty high end back then. It runs three times as long on one battery charge. Firefox feels about the same (although the wireless driver still has hiccups in Karmic) and OpenOffice feels faster on the netbook than MS Office on the laptop although it takes longer to start. evince definitely feels snappier than Acrobat Reader under XP. The display size is the only major drawback. A netbook with 1920x1024 would be cool although I'd need to have my glasses tuned up more often.

And they have your card number and will keep shipping you bags of crap - at a subscription rate of only $19.99 per month.

See my response above. These are classic denialist tactics. Stop it alreeady and come up with some scientific arguments.

Every parking garage and gas station in CA has Prop 65 cancer warnings everywhere.
I agree the tobacco industry must love it.

The latest versions aren't too bad. I've never seen more thna 1GB even with many windows and tabs open.
On 3.1 I have seen over 2GB.

There's an x86 emulator in Java. Maybe it'll boot Linux. :P
Then you could even run vim
Yay. With an HD5800 and dual Nehalems so I can finally run some simulations while I wait at the DMV.

Not as impressive as in "Lucifer's Hammer."

Looks and sounds real to me.
"Click *here* to confirm that you are 18 years or older."
Yeah right.
What's your problem with boobies? There was just some new research on them in the news.
Interestingly, they have blue feet.

I am curious about those "regulatory requirements" that "guide the unveiling".
Anybody know what that is all about?
DMV opening hours.
