Not necessarily. If they can use DNA to prove that the remains are of St. Mark then they can't Alexander's.

There's often going to be difference between an aftermarket charger and a counterfeit one. There are plenty of perfectly fine third-party chargers that are CE, UL listed, etc. that are safe to use. The counterfeiters generally don't concern themselves with that kind of thing and build about the cheapest thing possible.

That's assuming that the newbies can even make it to the front lines. With so many entry-level jobs going overseas or to H1-b's, a lot of STEM graduates end up having to find work in other fields.

Windows is constantly paging ram contents out the disk. That way, if something suddenly has a need for a large amount of memory, Windows can let it have it instantly because the contents have already been paged out. Linux doesn't do this so if something needs a lot of ram you have to wait while the kernel swaps something out to disk first. This is usually a good thing if you are trying to run Windows on a system without a lot of ram, but the thing is Windows keeps on doing it even if there is gobs of ram available. And if you think Windows 7 is bad about it, Vista was a lot more aggressive when it came to this.

Well, later on you get the cut-down version, where the 3TB is (for example) a 2-platter 4TB drive where one side of one of the platters is not used for whatever reason.

With that said, I have four of the Seagate 1.5TB drives that seemingly have earned quite a reputation. but mine thus far have been flawless.

That's not my experience. I've always wondered why Asus has been held in such high regard when I've found their stuff be to be pretty much crap, dating back to at least the Socket A days. Not just motherboards too, as their video cards are just as flaky and die just as quickly, and don't buy their laptops either unless you need a paperweight. Heck, I'd buy ECS before buying Asus. The quality may not be any better but I'd at least save myself some money.

Literally, by the time you get to the workplace the language does not matter.

We may know that, but try convincing the hiring manager of that. If the job is programming in language X, and you don't have Y years of experience in language X, your resume goes straight into the circular file.

VGA forever!

They exist as medical-grade monitors, and cost as much as a decent used car.

Myth. There are no TVs for sale with a 1080p screen smaller than 22". The 1080p screens found in laptops are pretty much only used in laptops. Since those screens are pretty much being built for laptops only, there's no reason they couldn't be some other resolution.

Going up the line from the TI-81 to the TI-84+ every new model can do everything the previous one could, plus more. On the other hand, the TI-84+ can't do things the old TI-85 can, even though the TI-85 was the second graphing calculator the TI made (the TI-81 being the first).

A lot of those big LCDs use a surprising amount of power. The savings might be less than you think. And if he opted for a plasma the power usage would go up considerably.

Besides, another factor is how much the TV is used. I have a tube TV but I use it so little the payback would be decades, easily. Though with 1300+ movies on Laserdisc and VHS alone, I would guess the TV sees quite a bit of use.

A Core 2 Duo is is a ton faster than en shitty P4 3.8 GHz though. You'll have trouble playing HD video with a P4.

That'll depend a lot on what generation of P4 you're running. If you have a late LGA775 P4 in a motherboard with a PCI Express slot you can slap in a decent graphics card and you'll have no problems playing HD video. If it's an older socket 478 P4 you'll have an AGP slot and your options are a lot more limited.

I'm just hoping that there is a way to disable that obnoxious "Install Flash" bar that comes up every time you visit a site with Flash and you don't have Flash installed. It's like Google can't imagine that someone would not want to install Flash (ditto for builds of Chromium running on OSes that don't even have Flash).

Bullshit.
