I think teaching a course of critical thinking skills would do kids far more than teaching them heuristics of bad things on the webbernet. You know, the "teaching a man to fish" thing.
Then again a great portion of graduates cant add 1 and 1, much less spell the equation in English...
^^^ Thats the laptop I use. Its got an integrated MX440. Its defintiely not most powerful GPU, and it cant even render Direct X higher than 7.0, but it does play CS:S well (minus HDR) and has a no-glare 17" 1280x1024 display.
"Gaming" is a pretty broad term. I play CS:S and its not too strenuous on the graphics card. Then again, there are laptops that rival gaming rigs costing several thousand dollars. How much performance do you really need out of this laptop?
Not only that, the article has no proof that the Zune doesn't. The only source it cites is a footnote that includes media the Zune *can* import, not a list of the only things it can import. Oddly enough, the footnote doesnt even say the Zune can import files from its own DRM. Is that to suggest that the footnote says that the Zune cannot import files from iTunes and other media stores INCLUDING MICROSOFT'S OWN DRM??
No, it doesn't. Someone is jumping the gun and suspending fact in order to rant against DRM/DMCA. I don't like either, but lets not go off spouting lies.
It is said that absence of proof is not proof of absence.
Optoisolators have used the concept of transmitting and recieving light inside a silicon die for many years. The only difference is that these chips use lasers, and that the chip Intel's proof of concept merely integrates the technology more closely for data transmission as opposed to wires.
Nothing too groundbreaking, just a smart spin on old technology.
Yes and no. The purifier they used obviously was not included in the cost. But to make an ionic purifier for yourself would cost next to nothing just the same.
Its just a high voltage transformer, its driver circuit, and some plates.
You will not notice a difference between the two new formats and DVD until the master copies are filmed with HD cameras. This isnt about old HD not working with new tech or new tech failing to deliver. Its about not having any movies that have enough detail.
And this negative karma is pissing me off. You know Real has spyware in its player and you are a moron if you dont think they are going to try to package it with Firefox.
I believe this to be true as well. As far as music goes, I have pirated around 5k songs. I would only consider buying the albums for the best bands, and one of the main reasons is the cover art (not to mention the CDs have better sound quality).
I would be interested in how people would repsond to the same question if music was replaced with software? The absolute only reason I would ever consider buying software was if it was subscription based (DRM, obviously), had great non-digital extras, or was from a company I respect (id for example). As easy as it wuld be to get a completely working copy of all three original Doom games, I still bought the trilogy pack because the game is so great. Same with Quake4. I loved the extras on the DVD version so I ran out and got that, nevermind the fact that my computer didnt have DX9 hardware support, I still enjoyed the bonus Quake 2 and its expansions.
But lets take two pieces of software that I didnt pay for and wont: O&O Defrag Pro and Partition Magic. Partition magic f!cked up my partition, so I sure as hell wont be buying it. But despite how well O&O does its job, I simply cant find it in me to pay for it. (Sorry, guys)
The only possible way to get me to buy a software program that doenst have extras, would be to have fully working trial versions. Considering that is DRM, it hardly solves the topic's issue.
Actually tofu is a bean. Regardless, it is possible to take a piece of ones skin, feed it some chemicals in a beaker, and it will grow more skin. Perhaps one day we may be able to take living flesh and make it grow too?

You forgot to include "Happy Time in Broadcom Way"
HOLY SHIT! Blu-Ray discs are only going to be 50 megabytes large?
I'm thinking thats the point...
Perhaps then Teddy Stevens actually said the internet was a series of interconnected servers? Damned typists.
The notion that my congressmen actually know what a computer is helps me put faith back in government.... ohhh wait.....

You just know someone is crazy enough to use this precedence to piss on people installing games on their computers.
Only in America.
Creative Sleeks have had a 5-band EQ and FM tuner for about a year.
If a caveman were to tell you "fire hot", would the fact that he is not educated invalidate his findings?
They are sooooo going to get bottlene....
:D
Damn, you beat me to it.
My bypass jack into the amp board on my radio has yet to fail me while listening to my Zen Touch. Plus it costs less than a dollar.

Maybe their data got compromised? D:

Dont you mean "crashing" success?

You are aware that middle-clicking on the tab will close it?
I can only imagine where I would be without that scroll wheel button.

At some point so mant strips of duct tape are going to hold down the box lid due to sheer mass.

Dont you mean Core 4? Unless its got four Core 2's I dont see whats with the name.
That marketing strategy is obviously not universal as I havent seen a PSP ad in about 6 months, vs a couple of DS Lite ads.
Didn't you get the memo?
Shhh, you get bad karma when you mention that fact. =p
