It's nice that companies still make computers like this. I wonder when it will end.
I've got a Vostro 1500 right here, you've gotta take the whole lid off the bottom before you can get to the fan. But yeah, that's better than most laptops. On the other hand, there's a Fujitsu T900 in the house and it has a little plastic panel you remove, then you can blow air through the system as well as out of the intake. That's better than any of this other jazz by far.
Manufacturers rarely change much about the codes used by their IR remotes, unless there is some new feature on the device that requires new buttons/codes.
Unless they are Sony, and invent a new protocol to control Blu-Ray players even though they don't need any buttons you don't get on a typical modern DVD remote.
The Free Software world has tried [and failed] time, and time again to produce a decent mobile interface. For its day, GPE was not too horrible, but it was nothing but a copy of other GUIs.
Android has the first new GUI in ages worth a crap. And it's got plenty of faults.
Everybody wants to be as cool as android. Keep trying, I guess.
I don't think APM works on most modern machines though.
It's too bad you didn't read the link I provided, in which it is revealed that FreeDOS will use ACPI if APM is not present.
kids parse all the information that's provided to them and one experience does not corrupt the other.
Up to a certain age, children are incapable of discriminating between commercials and programming. One experience does corrupt the other.
Of course, that was what was so great about PBS. You saw a lot of begging, but no commercials.
I speak of it in the past tense only because it's television, which in its current form is losing influence.
Stop complaining. You, and the idiots that modded up need to go read what they are doing, what the goal is and come back an apologize for being knee jerk stupid.
From the kickstarter page it looks like they're going to put it on the web, and put it in classrooms. Unless I misread that, or the kickstarter page fails to adequately explain the goals, they're explicitly not going to be reaching the kids who need them the most with this plan.
I think the demise of the American mall is in some way linked with the demise of the American video game arcade.
Common root cause, advances in computing.
So when a new study lumps plagiarism in with fabricating data, we see all too plainly what really drives this shit - Credit, credit, credit. Publish or, worse than perishing, you get stuck actually *gasp!* teaching those obnoxious freshmen your name attracted to the school in the first place.
It's also the influence of capitalism, and corporatism. The grant money has to come from somewhere. If you want to keep getting it, you're going to need to maintain your reputation.
I'm gonna go with Comanche: Maximum Overkill. Flying the Comanche through voxelized canyons on ground effect with the Thrustmaster HOTAS was one of the great joys of the DOS gaming era.
Except that if you read the majority opinion they actually open up any provision of the law to challenge on the same grounds. They warn that the ruling should not be taken as covering anything covered by insurance, but presumably any such thing could in principle be challenged on the same basis, and depending on the circumstances might likewise be exempted. The majority has opened the door to challenging the application of any provision of this law to a closely held corporation -- indeed any provision of any law. They just don't know how the challenge will turn out.
It's interesting to note that the court broke down almost exactly on religious lines when dealing with contraception. Five of the six Roman Catholic justices voted with the majority, and all three Jews joined by one dissenting Catholic. I think this is significant because the majority opinion, written exclusively by Catholics, seems to treat concerns over contraception as sui generis; and the possibility of objections to the law based on issues important to other religious groups to be remote.
Another big deal in the majority opinion is that it takes another step towards raising for-profit corporations to the same status as natural persons. The quibbling involved is astonishing:
....no conceivable definition of 'person' includes natural persons and non-profit corporations, but not for-profit corporations.
Which may be true, but it's irrelevant. The question is whether compelling a for-profit corporation to do something impacts the religious liberties of natural persons in exactly the same way as compelling a church to do that same thing. If there is any difference whatsoever, then then the regulations imposed on the church *must* be less restrictive than the regulations imposed on a business. Logically, this is equivalent to saying the regulations imposed on a business *may* be more restrictive than the regulations imposed on a church.
Isn't DOS a horrible operating system to run these days? It doesn't support any energy management,
You bitch about paying for welfare kids, and you bitch about women not wanting kids to abort them.
Religious fundamentalists believe that life beings at conception. Sadly, their compassion ends at birth.
With your bare hands?!?
