Re: [H] who is getting Oblivion?
I read where the programing for the NPC was based on schedules and tasks to perform with surprising results even to Bethesda. They gave an domesticated Oger the task of tilling a field. He had a rake but wanted a hoe. He attacked another Oger that had a hoe. But that Oger wanted a rake anyway so Oger 2 bashed Oger 1 and took his rake. Might be fun just to watch the AI.

The CoreDuo is Intel's new mobile CPU line and to the best of my knowledge no current products have it. The first ones will be the new Mac Book Pros announced by Jobs. The other major notebook manufactureres will be close behind. You have a dual core CPU but not a CoreDou, which is the new marketing name. Intel is dropping the name Pentium.

Re: [H] Serious battery life bug found in new IntelProcessorkepthidden by Wintel and press
Negative. From page 2 of the article you linked: The Core Duo microprocessor is nothing more than the dual core Yonah we've been talking about for quite a while now; and the 945 Express chipset should sound very familiar as it is a mobile version of the 945 chipset that was released on the desktop side last year. Now the combination of the Core Duo processor, 945 Express chipset and the 3945ABG wireless solution is what is known as the Napa platform. In other words, the code name for Centrino Duo is Napa. Its predecessor is Sonoma, which is the code name for the Centrino platform that was composed of Intel's Pentium M (based on Dothan), 915 chipset and 2915ABG wireless solution. We will refer to Napa and Sonoma later in this article, so just keep in mind that Napa is the current Centrino Duo while Sonoma is the previous generation Centrino based on Dothan. Core Duo is nothing more than Yonah DC. Dell was shipping DC Yonah laptops (AKA Core Duo machines) for at least a week prior to Apple's announcement. I can personally recall looking at a DC 1.86 Yonah at Dell the week before Apple's launch.

Yes, I get that the Core Duo is just a new name for the Yonah that we have been waiting for. But Anand's article doesn't mention anything that I saw about them already shipping. This article (dated 13 Jan) says that Core Duo laptops from Dell and others are not available yet: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=28955 This article (27 Jan) says that Acer and Sony just started shipping, but Dell, Apple, Gateway, HP, and Lenovo have not: http://news.com.com/Intels+Core+Duo+health+causes+PC+industry+pain/2100-1006_3-6032252.html More info on the various models and features being offered from different vendors: http://www.cnet.com/4520-6022_1-6410042.html Something is not right here. How could Dell have been shipping DC laptops weeks ago when all the articles I was able to Google say they are still waiting or are behind Apple? Are the articles wrong? Also, I really hate all these crappy codenames and marketing slogans. Whatever happened to the good old days with simple naming conventions and easy to compare products.

[H] Need some help with Word templates
I am trying to build a few templates for use at work. I have pretty much everything done except one part. I need to have a section where people can enter a large section of text, specifically a lesson plan for teaching. I created the form by building it, putting in fields where people need to enter data, and then locking the rest of the form. I saved it as a template and it works just fine. However, I can't seem to control the formatting of the font, line spacing, tabs, and bullets/numbering. There has to be a way where I can just give people a template to fill in a few blocks and have all the formatting already setup.

According to Anand, the Pentium M is the Dothan/Yonah core and Core Duo is the Sonoma/Napa core. Unless there is something else I am missing. Now, they are still using the Centrino name for their new laptops but it will be the Core Duo and a new chipset instead of Pentium-M.

The first ones will be the new Mac Book Pros announced by Jobs. The other major notebook manufactureres will be close behind. You have a dual core CPU but not a CoreDou, which is the new marketing name. Intel is dropping the name Pentium.

Microsoft and Intel knew about this bug months ago but didn't bother to tell anyone. Many tech journalists have evaluated the laptops and none of them found this bug. The Core Duo is the chip that all of Apple's new laptops and Intel's entire new line of laptops is built on. Intel blames M$ drivers, which is interesting. -- Brian -- Brian -- Brian -- Brian -- Brian

Re: [H] Serious battery life bug found in newIntelProcessorkepthidden by Wintel and press
Intel has such a huge market share, and engineering resources, that they can afford to screw up for a few years. They have been struggling to find their way ever since Andy Grove left. They will come back, and when they do they can flood the market, drop prices, and put AMD in deep trouble damn near over night. AMD has had a few good years, but they're not laughing, they are bracing themselves for what they know is coming. And yeah, I can't make heads or tails out of CPU standings anymore. If it was fairly easy to make sense out of somebody would of put up a web site with side by side listings.

Reload Java?
Back up their data, log in as administrator, delete their profile, log
in as them, move their data back, and see if that works...

Re: [H] eudora 7 ?
I tried it in a VM. I didn't notice anything new, although I only had it up and running for a day or two. What I did notice is that you can't move the folder anymore from one PC to another without going through the input number registration. That killed it for me.

[H] Cell phones
I am in the market for a new phone and possibly a new service. I currently have Verizon but I will be moving to Canada within the next 2 years and will be doing a few trips around the world between now and then. Verizon's phones (at least all the ones I have seen to date) are CDMA which means they only work in America. Here's what I want: - good camera - ability to use it around the world - able to connect to my computer to transfer files and copy contacts - bluetooth Any chance I can find such a phone? Or am I better off sticking with something that works in America and just buying a cheap GSM phone and use pre-paid SIMs overseas? -- Brian
Re: [H] Cell phones
I have a friend who goes back and forth to Greece. He got a Motorola Razor and setup a T-Mobile account in California. He told T-Mobile he wanted to be able to use it in Greece, so they unlocked it . When he was in Greece he just got another European account with SIMM card, and he was connected for Europe.

Re: [H] Cell phones
Verizon does work in canada but only if you have the international account. Otherwise you roam pay an assload of roaming charges. I've been teetering on the switching to Cingular idea since I can get a GSM Razor for $0 after rebate via Amazon.com + 2 year contract. Verizon just got their 1st CDMA Razor (all other Verizon phones suck!) but want $200 + 2 year contact. Razor is as far as I am willing to look since I hate all brands (including the samsung Razor copy-cat) other than Motorola, so YMMV! No matter what you do I think you will have to have an international account or need a SIM based phone to travel w/o roaming.
