You have not been keeping up with the news. Microsoft sold all their Corel shares a few years ago (which, by the way, were a special non-voting kind so they had no say in how Corel ran their business). Now Corel is 100% private, owned by San Francisco venture capitalists Vector Capital.
Then on the way over there, drop it, so all the pages go flying and put them all back together out of order.
Funny, I thought the same thing, but then I read the subpoena and it specifically says that multiple-page documents have to be properly ordered, and that the documents themselves must be chronologically ordered... damn, that is alot of work...
in the new show FMC the brits often lose and find it all rather funny and are very self-deprecating. but the americans sometimes cry!
As an American, I feel a strange sort of pride at this. Yeah, it's just a TV show, but dammit, I've always felt that if you're going to commit to something, then commit yourself to doing the best job you can.
I am a Canadian myself (and proud of it) but in all seriousness it is easy to see that this is exactly why the USA is the most powerfull nation in the world today... think about it... its not just in TV that americans are this way...
So, that would be 120Gb in the size of a postage stamp. Not bad. Even if it takes a long time to write and longer to read back, this could wipe out tape archival for most backup purposes!
I'm not so sure. One of the most important factors in backups (if not the most important) is Cost per megabyte of storage. The article does not talk about cost.. How easy will these devices be to mass produce? What will they cost?
In fact, a real car tach is more expensive (new anyway) than the one they are selling. So unless you grab an old one from a junkyard for cheap, not much point to building it yourself...
I stopped reading when, in the first screen of the dotGNU page, i read:
At the core of Microsoft's.NET is Hailstorm (recently renamed ".NET My Services")
This is simply not true! Hailstorm is only a service that happens to use the.NET framework to do it's stuff. It is a different thing entirely from.NET itself!!!
Just so you know, you can get APS ASIO drivers for the plain ol' SB Live and get 4MS latency.

...of samples at any one time. While you can load any sized soundfont you want (given you have enough ram of course), when actually playing sounds if you try to play more than 32MB worth of samples at any given time you'll lose some notes. The Audigy card does not have this limit, you can play back any amount of samples. This was reason enough for me to upgrade. I'm sure other features (firewire) make it worth the upgrade for others too.
To start, there are plenty of widescreen TVs out there that are not HDTV. The widescreen issue is seperate from that of 480p/1080i support.
In many games (like GT3) the PS2, for example, supports widescreen displays. This means that the game will have a 16x9 aspect ratio. It will use all of the frame's horisontal lines of resolution (as opposed to dedicating some top and bottom hor lines to black, in order to make the wide aspect ratio on a 4x3 display).
There is nothing stopping any console game from supporting widescreen displays. You could even make widescreen games on a 8bit NES! It is just a matter of scaling the picture, cramming more picture into each horisontal line. This would result in a squased diplay on 4x3 televisions.
Now as for the 480p-1080i modes support, this is obviouly hardware specific. The output chip needs to be able to draw to these video modes. Again, this is a seperate issue from the 4x3/16x9 issue. It just so happens that most high-end TVs that support these modes also happen to be widescreen displays (but not all!).
In conclusion, *any* console can support 16x9 widescreen display modes, but the support for high-resolution progressive display modes is hardware hence console specific.

Indeed newsgroups are great for downloading...
+Extreme speed - you're downloading directly from your ISP's news server
+LOTS of files available, from games to movies to music to p0rn.
-You can only download what happens to be posted at any given time... Harder to search for a specific item
-Missing parts sometimes. Large files are split up into 20MB parts, and sometimes some parts are incomplete and hence don't get through. Recently, though, people are starting to upload Parity Archives along with the main archives, which means that if you're missing a file, you can reconstruct it based on the other files and the parity archive! very cool... this makes the missing archives problem much less of an issue. But then, there's always IRC for fills.
As long as corporate developers use plain ole HTML plus well-supported Javascript and don't use ActiveX and, worse the new.NET stuff.
Better yet, write a.Net CLR (common language runtime) for linux. Go read about it and you'll find that.Net has nothing to do with Win32 beside the fact that the first runtime was written for Win32. It completely abstracts the underlying OS. There's already a runtime on the way for FreeBSD, so it's easy to see that it's only a matter of time before a linux one is available.
Morale of the story:.Net apps, like Java, will run on anything, so you're not "locked down" as you say writing code for it.
... in which one of the disasters was one such power station accident in which the sattelite beamed the energy slightly off and fried everything?
Even in circumstances where it is "aiming" properly, wouldn't this be a problem for bird and airplanes? If I can't even use my cellphone for fear of interferance in the plane, what about giant beams of microwave radiation??

Even better .. this will show you available buildings right in Google Earth....
See Google Earth 4 page, there are some files to download for the few supported buildings.
Heh, and you're not using "your" right.
Nope, MS sold their shares a few years ago. Corel is private now, owned by Vector Capital of san francisco.
Note MS's Corel shares were a special non-voting kind, which means they had no say in Corel's decision to exit the linux business.
