Or plug it into your tv via hdmi giving you 1080p. Connect the controllers wirelessly and you're flying.
However, even the BBC gets fooled on occasion. I trust them enough that I watch them for my morning news while I eat breakfast - however they are in the end still human and prone to human mistakes.
Icarus crashed, not Daedalus.
During flight testing, Daedalus 87 was damaged in a crash caused by spiral divergence
The flight ended in the water (7 meters from Perissa Beach on Santorini, according to the official record), when increasing gusty winds caused a torsional failure of the tail boom. Lacking control, the airplane then pitched nose-up, and another gust caused a failure of the main wing spar. The pilot swam to shore.
Much of the wreckage of Daedalus 88 is in storage at the Smithsonian's restoration facility.
Seems they both did.
I've helped friends similarly who had broken ps3/xboxes and the retailer wouldn't do shit to help. As soon as you quote the relevant law they realise that they can't pull the wool over your eyes and give up.
Two things need to happen in the UK. We need better education of consumer protection laws, starting at school but also through government advertising and we to crack down on retailers who tell consumers it is out of warranty when legally it isn't.
None of that is to say it is a good idea or anything, but I doubt it is all that common for people to get injured or killed by it.
Wrong, celebratory gunfire kills quite a few people every year
USB 3.0 works fine with Windows 7, you just have to install the drivers provided by the mobo/card manufacturer. Big deal...
That's a problem with a specific driver, though, not Windows 7. Just look it up - ASMedia USB3 drivers have that problem, but not all others...
Erm, you mean in other words USB 3.0 doesn't work just fine with Windows 7?
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
