Here I fixed that for you.

You'd think people would notice a 500% increase in prices. The world would definitely notice a dollar's whose value is 1/5th what it used to be.

Oh Wait, I also caused you to have a hole in your theory, since the dollar is worth about 1/5 what is was 10 years ago. Seems gold is a good standard after all.

yes, you are dead, now be grateful

Aside from his obvious misuse of amperage as an energy unit. Does any of this really make sense, why save power...crank that baby up.

Maybe he just don't trust banks to be to big to fail anymore.

Whoa there, if I were a major contributor, and one of those dropped a few million in my pocket...or heck even enough to just pay off everything I owe, I might decide to stop developing it. As you probably know, if the major contributors of a project abandon it quietly, sometimes just the time lapse with no progress will kill off the project. My point is everything has a price...you just gotta know where to inject the funds.

I got that impression also, by TI description of the chip, it appears to be an flippable bits in an eeprom.

No its not. It is simply programmable logic and the "damage" can be reversed via a JTAG interface. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFUSE

eFuse is an IBM brain child, and they have it in several of their RISC products. The XBox 360 has one in its xenon (ibm power pc) processor. The Texas Instruments OMAP processors that motorola chose for their droid x are using the eFuse technology. The statement that it is not reversible via software is bull, once you figure it out, you can set up a JTag interface (as any serious modder will do anyway) and then you can reverse the eFuse bits and try your mod again.

I still ran windows 2000 until Feb of this year on my workstation...I upgraded it to XP, and I still have a few systems that still run 2000 that I will upgrade when they die or I run into something I have to use that does not support it. By the way, auto update is still doing security fixes for windows 2000 and most applications still like it fine. Now as for windows 7, I have two workstations that are windows 7, well one is up for testing only so far...the other is still in the box...had them for 3 weeks and still cannot use them (still working out networking issues, roaming compatibility issues and the like).

Hey here is a nice pic of WinBIOS I found...copyright was 1994, so you got the street date about right :).

I agree, I suffered through WinBIOS, and it sucked ass when you did not have a mouse installed. Looks like UEFI is gonna be better for keyboard use, but it is still pointless to move the bios to the graphical realm...after all, what if you run headless and use linux/bsd at the console, or even windows server as a console only install.

If you are invisible, can you see yourself?

You don't, just tell it not to reboot, and the new version will work fine until you decide to do the reboot
