Didn't this happen to the first Wolfenstein also?

What an interesting conclusion especially since it is completely contrary to the current state. In the hand held computer market Apple encourages anyone and everyone to write applications for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Their only restrictions are related to digital signing (a reasonable restriction) and the use of the App store (a less reasonable restriction). By contrast Microsoft won't allow any 3rd party applications for their new Zune (their iPod Touch competitor) except from a few select partners.

In the personal computer market both Apple and Microsoft encourage any and all developers to write applications for their respective platforms. Apple's platform includes far more open source pieces than Microsoft's. For example, Mac OS X is built on BSD and Safari on Webkit and Apple makes considerable contributions to the open source community. Microsoft, not so much.

So what evidence led you to your conclusion?

It's impossible to make an arcade/console game system emulator with any semblance of accuracy that can use SMP, or OS-provided and scheduled threads, for multi-chip emulation, unless the OS and CPU are specifically designed for *extremely* low overhead inter-chip synchronization, and even with that the performance benefit may not be worth it and you might as well just program an FPGA. :b Now, if you don't care so much about accuracy because games on newer systems are generally more tolerant of timing inaccuracies, SMP will help to a degree. And of course you could use queues and buffers to defer CPU-intensive processing whose results are unreadable(in any way, shape, or form) to the emulated program to another core, but that would result in significantly increased complexity and significantly hurt performance on non-SMP systems.

The songs and videos sold are the "other products" from the grandparent post which Apple hopes to sell people.

Are you confusing iTunes with the iTunes Music Store? The former is software that lets you manage media collections, as well as purchase media from the latter.

In that case you would have to refer to all software that comes bundled with hardware to let the user manage hardware a "loss leader". This would include the software that comes with printers, cameras, Blackberrys, etc.

Think about this - do you compose an essay different when writing it manually compared to typing it out? Of course you do - writing manually forces you to take your time and think things out a little before you start. There's no going back to insert a new paragraph, or rearranging the order of your arguments at the last second. The skill of writing with cursive may not be useful - but don't dismiss learning to compose an essay "the old fashioned way." Technology is no substitute for substance and coherence... and it's about more than just spell/grammar check.

Har man bara någon enstaka beloppsuppgift, kan man med fördel skriva 800 Swedish kronor (800 Swedish crowns fungerar i princip också men är mycket ovanligare i bruket). Har man flera beloppsuppgifter, är det bättre att använda den etablerade valutaförkortningen SEK och följa internationell konvention med baklängesskrivning: SEK 800. Första gången man använder beteckningen SEK kan man gärna förklara vad det står för (d.v.s. 'Swedish kronor'). Språkrådet.

Dock nämnder svenska språkrådet översättningen "Crowns" i förbifarten i en disskussion rörande något annat.

Sorry about the swedish, what I am writing is that both kronor and crowns seem to be considered ok by "authorities" on the Swedish language.

On the other hand, I guess this is more of a question about the English language; I think kronor is generally preferred, but both seem understood and usable (e.g. Wikipedia mentions crowns as an informal alternative to kronor).

You need to sign your name.

Some form of cursive provides a more distinct signature that is harder to forge. And more importantly: you can sign your name a lot more quickly if you don't have to lift your pen for each letter. So think about security and convenience...

Students benefit from knowing:

• How to read cursive (people will write them a letter or note by hand, sometimes).. Yes electronic messages are common, that doesn't mean noone ever gets or sends manual messages though
• How to jot down some basic notes in class -- students generally need a notepad to take these
• How to sign their name, yep/li>

Cursive is indispensable for quick note-taking, and answering questions on tests.

Students generally aren't allowed to have electronic devices during a test, even an essay test. This is especially true in colleges. Some tests may be administered electronically, but not all are, at least not today.

If students don't have the most rudimentary of cursive skills, they will be at a disadvantage in the current environment.

Because it will take them longer physically to write what they want to say, using print letters.

You are an enthusiast, who chooses to spend your disposable income on a fancy computer. But most people want a machine that will let them email/browse. If it kept working for ten years, they'd be happy to continue using it. I think if you were honest about the amount you'd spent on your PC over the years, you'd understand why most Mom and Dad users (and corporate users for that matter) would be a lot better off with Linux.

I've never paid a dime for service or support.

The real cost has been in broadband Internet services and consumables - ink and paper.

When I first became interested in the PC I was told to focus on the programs I wanted to run. I happen to like polished, focused, apps that target the non technical end-user. Including the occasional PC game. I've found very good value in Windows.

I tend to buy refurbished electronics from sources like TigerDirect.

There is nothing fancy about this aging Dell or the HP that is likely to replace it. But it will be a significant upgrade - targeted more towards media play than high-performance PC gaming - I tend to more of a classic solo RPG and adventure gamer anyway - and adjusted for inflation the new system will likely cost less than what I paid the last time out.

Indeed, some of the studies actually showed increase mental capacity in the groups associated with ethylmercury exposure from thimerasol in vaccines. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/acip/downloads/min-oct07.pdf

To be fair we're not talking about the actual laws themselves but the Oregon DOJ's interpretation of how to apply them in a practical way.

That is what my ISP does I save $0.50 every month by having my bill emailed as a PDF.

You don't have to analyze all the data, you just need to find out which bugs are on the computers that may have the data you want. (not that I think they're actually doing this)
