If the software you're developing only works in IE, someone somewhere made a bad decision. Also, how does my Aunt Bertha know you? ;)

Because high school students, the main target of calculator hacking, will be using the cheaper algebra-oriented TI-8[34], instead of the more expensive calculus-oriented TI-89.

The problem with DMZ Plus is that connections through it still fill up the UVerse NAT table, which has a maximum size of 1024. Random people portscanning you will be passed through DMZ Plus, placed in the NAT table, and potentially boot off normal connections. This is why I take the effort to double-port-forward everything I use through my Netgear.
If anyone else offered more than half of the upload that UVerse provides, I'd switch. I'd pay several hundred dollars to replace my UVerse router with a UVerse modem. Verizon said they don't dare come to Milwaukee because AT&T has the entire county bought, so FIOS won't be available ever.
But yet, America's Internet Service market has lots of competition, somewhere. I wish I lived in that magical place.

Also PS3 controllers, which communicate over the USB charging cable to establish the pairing and then magically work forever.

Both editions of VirtualBox are free. The Open Source Edition doesn't come with USB or RDP support.

XP Mode is not at all suitable for video games. It is implemented as an application-level Remote Desktop into the XP virtual machine, and Remote Desktop does not have any support for graphical acceleration.

So all we have to do is reduce the risk of death! We can live forever!

It means you can pair a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard to it.

It's not even saving much power. It runs at about 5W, while my new Gumstix runs at 0.5W and comes with OpenGL and an FPU. I honestly have no idea why they left out something so standard these days.

I have a Sheevaplug, and the problem I've encountered is the lack of hardware FPU. The article even recommends using them as an SSH server, and from my experience, it makes a poor fit in that role. You can SSH into it decently fast, but the lack of a hardware math unit adds around 5-10 seconds of delay when sshing from it to another computer. Your renderfarm idea would fail miserably, since 3D rendering is all about math, especially with angles and other floating-point usages. Maaaybe I could see a Quake server. Depending on how much math the server has to do.

I believe Spartacus succeeds because of sex and drama, not because of Internet exposure. It is a soap opera for men.

Or both

Thank you! I didn't have a clue what he was talking about, so thank you very much for explaining it :)

There's other causes of car driving accidents, such as when wildlife forget to not look both ways before crossing traffic in front of heavy traffic. Also, icy roads occasionally cause problems. But yes, most problems are because the drivers are allowed out of their houses.
