Does this still actually work in 2012?

The claim is that it uses the same technology as the Power7 chip. It could very well be an overclocked triple core Wii chip made in 45nm SOI with eDRAM. Hint hint.

Technology as Religion is an issue I have only recently begun to recognize in myself, and have completed eliminate as a result. I used to pick "Favorites" in technology, for completely stupid reasons, sometimes no better then just being more familiar with one then another. Fanboys, fangirls, appleheads, windows geeks, whatever you want to call them - they're all groups with inherent bias.

My new motto is, "It's technology people. Use whatever the fuck gets the job done for you." I dismiss no hardware, software, or OS. If you want to wax poetic and argue over how the VAX 4000 is far superior to the VAX 6000 or some other pointless bullshit (ford/chevy style arguments) , go right ahead and argue with the VAX 6000 idiot who wants to also argue his side. What's not OK is being a complete dick to those using any kind of technology if it works for them.

Suggestions of solutions that might fit their needs better are OK, but you damn well better make sure you truly understand their needs and you need to know how to take "no" as an answer. As someone who works in IT and loves technology as a hobby, I used to waste untold hours getting wrapped up in this crap debating the most pointless of things online or in person. Having spent some time volunteering at a non-profit that turns 6 and 7 year old computers that a kid would label "Old crap" into perfectly usable systems for those without a computer has given me a reality check. When it comes down to your love of Linux, Windows, OS X, iOS vs Android, whatever - 99% of the rest of us just don't care. It's ok to be passionate about something you love, but don't be a dick to everyone else. We use what works to achieve the desired result.

DISM supports offline patching of .WIM Images:

If you're just installing Windows 7 from CD on a large install, you're doing it wrong. Deploy a patched WIM.

According to Wikipedia, it was released on September 24 1993 for Mac and PC. It's easy to think it was a Mac exclusive, reading that article, as it was programmed with Hypercard and Quicktime, on Quadras. I remember playing it at a friend's house (he actually had a CD-ROM drive), while I was a senior in high school (1993-1994) and his was a PC-only house.

Those were the days when Mac was easiest to use to write multimedia software, best for Photoshop and barely used by home users.

Monitoring and "remote support" by KGB included free with every purchase!

Well said. If Ouya succeeds, it will also be a nail in the coffin of this business model. When you can do a gaming console for $99, or you've got stuff like Roku's for $79 with gaming baked in you no longer need a dedicated "gaming box"

You're telling me I need to stop using HotDog to manage my websites?!

If you bought this one thing, you can combine it with this other thing, and then buy some additional things, to make an inferior version of this real thing.

...theirs seems like the right approach. It is certainly a better one than Dart. They've gone out of their way to be as compatible as possible, and really are making it practical for people to adopt the upcoming standards earlier. I really don't see what about this to get so up in arms about. Javascript does need improvements, and this is the best approach to that I've seen so far.

Disbelief in evolution is disbelief in antibiotic resistance in contagious and harmful bacteria (MRSA for example). Evolution explains how some bacteria are able to randomly survive exposure to antibiotics and produce offspring with similar resistance. With successive generations and successive random variations, additional resistances can be distilled.

Evolution explains how weeds can become Round-Up resistant. Genetically modified and manipulated plants are about as "intelligently designed" as you get, but there evolution is, randomly guiding plants to do successively better with each generation against this poison. If nothing else, this demonstrates that "intelligent design" and "evolution" have similar outcomes in similar time (I'll grant that intelligent design beat evolution by a decade, but I maintain that isn't a relevant time period).

Disobeying a law via action that can not lead to physical harm is equivalent to sitting at the front of a bus regardless of the colour of your skin.

If I torrent The Big Bang Theory, I am not the moral equivalent of Rosa Parks. Someone who sat at the front of the bus, despite the color of her skin was in fact risking that skin. There was a very large social structure invested in keeping the races segregated and people were beaten and/or killed for violating that.

Deciding that The Big Bang Theory is worth $0.25, not $1, per episode without commercials when the distributor doesn't need to pay distribution costs may be morally right. Stating that using copyright law (according to the U.S. Constitution, for the furthering of art and science) should not apply in the case of sharing King of Thrones because a lot of people would love to throw money at the copyright owners, but are unwilling or unable to pay for cable + HBO may be morally acceptable, but they are not the modern equivalent of Rosa Parks. Although the guy who tirelessly encodes the material and provides it to the group to seed is risking his freedom and financial well-being, he is not risking his life.

I read it differently. If Clinton were VP, and served under a President unable to serve his last 0-2 years, Clinton could fulfill those duties legally and Constitutionally. If the President were unable to serve more than 2 years, Clinton would be able to serve 2 years. At that point, I do not know if a special election would be necessary or if we would need to follow the standard order of succession, which means the Speaker of the House would become President.

I spoke with Evan at HOPE 9, and also attended the Vintage Computer Fest East in Wall, NJ recently. Evan, and the others, are all cool guys who are doing a great job keeping this history alive. The repros showed at HOPE were very cool, and even though I follow this stuff I did not a lot of the stuff they showed existed. If you're on the east coast and Evan or others from the club are around be sure to check it out.

They can't be told form the original-- and NEVER has a document not opened or looked funny.

You either have technologically incompetent people opening your documents who don't know complaining is an option or a very simple layout format. In a corporate environment with templates and data-heavy presentations, it's easy to come up with presentations that won't look right in anything other than Office or which Office won't render the same as its free competitors (and that's while trying to remain compatible).
