At my home, along with a Koala Pad tablet

Ultima 4 was one of the best games ever. One of the reasons I keep a real C64 (first gen, with the better sound chips) around with at least two 1541 drives. One of them is hooked up to my TV with two 1541. The other one is hooked up to an Amiga monitor with a 1541, a 486 with 64HDD and a 1541-II for image transfers

And yes, I still have some 5 1/4 floppies brand-new in shrink wrap :)

As long as the commander is named Koenig...

Pfft...

Where's the robot mode?

Could we please have *reliable* drives instead of a pissing contest between the last two manufacturers? Most of my drives bigger than 300 GB are either dead, noisy as hell, or have bad sectors.

I prefer licking subway poles, more variety to train my immune system

Not the way RIAA and MPAA see it

Well, it doesn't need to for one.
The only reason it's 98 and not DOS is simply because I need Logitech's gaming software to program the buttons on my flight stick for Tie Fighter and X Wing. (and it beats having to do a multi-config to meet the memory requirements of each game)

The second (and biggest) reason why it's not even on the network is security.
I don't want to take the chance my AV software on my Win7 machine misses something because it's deemed too old and it propagates on the 98 box. Besides, as I said, it doesn't need to.

No it's not

1- Noise. I'm running a pair of Noctua NF-12 fans at medium speeds on the radiator of my Corsair H70 (the PSU fan makes more noise)
2- Capacity of liquid to move heat *much* faster than air
3- Weight on the motherboard. The little pump is much lighter than a 2 pound heatsink

Before installing that cooler, I couldn't get my E7200 (2.53) beyond 3.2 without insane temps. Now, I'm stable at 3.8 with 75C MAX, 4.1 will need a beefier radiator.

Besides, it's not that more expensive than high-end air

So why isn't anyone doing the same in a car? That would be the best hybrid setup...

Running 100kV on poles where the wires are several feet appart is not the same thing as running the same when the wires as next to each other...

We don't know why, but everybody within a 5-mile radius is having wifi problems and is dying of cancer :)

When I can have 300 miles range in 5 minutes (which most gasoline cars can do), it will work, Heck let's change that to 10 minutes and it will probably still be ok. The problems with fast charging: it reduces battery life for one, and even if that gets fixed somehow, that's a lot of energy in a short amount of time being driven into the battery (battery heats up, heats the car, as mentionned in a previous post.)

What about a defective battery? (you know they're gonna cut corners and buy them from China) charge car, batttery explodes killing the driver and passengers...

A hybrid makes more sense, would make even more as a series hybrid with a diesel generator...

I take it you've never seen what kind of equipment is located at a headend. Yes the wires between the pole and the home are mostly the same, but fiber replaced coax on a lot of the infrastructure (one of the reason it's called an optical node).

Same goes for POTS

It's only a pissing contest.

They're giving us faster and faster speeds, but what about the quotas? We're getting 50GB/month in Montreal from our beloved duopoly. Same goes for cellular. First GPRS, then Edge, then 3G and now 4G/LTE, yet can't use it because the caps are ridiculous (still 6G here for around 80$/month)
