![]() ![]() This game absolutely blew my mind back in 1996. Of the three games in this collection, it’s Grand Pappy 64 that I was most excited to jump back into. Hopefully Nintendo reconsiders this artificial scarcity tactic, because it’s not only dumb, but it makes them look like manipulative Super Mario 64 ![]() What’s truly odd is that this limitation is apparently true for both physical and digital copies of the game, meaning you won’t even be able to buy the collection digitally after March next year. Interestingly, Nintendo has announced that this collection will only be available to purchase for a limited time, through March 31, 2021. Mario 64, for example, basically perfected the 3D platformer at a time where nobody could get it to work! Hell, it’s almost worth playing a bit of each game for the historical value alone. While you mileage with each entry may vary, and nostalgia is still probably the biggest draw for your particular favorite, these games are truly stellar experiences. Hell, this game didn’t even have GameCube controller support on release, an omission which rendered Sunshine virtually unplayable (at least in my opinion).Īs barebones as it is though, Super Mario 3D All-Stars has some good muthaf^%kin’ bones! These three titles are undisputed classics-YES, even Sunshine!-and the magic of their gameplay lives on to this day. ![]() But considering that all changes are accomplished here through emulation tricks-and that the game is still running old roms from a decade or two ago-there’s little in this package that screams quality. Granted, this is first time any of these games have been officially released in HD, and a few tweaks needed to made in order for things work on the Switch control-wise. It bundles together three great platformers, all of which benefit from the bump up to HD resolutions, and Nintendo have done well to adapt the varying controls to suit the Nintendo Switch, but there’s a squandered opportunity to enhance and go beyond this in a meaningful way.It is a little disappointing that Nintendo didn’t put in more effort. In our Super Mario 3D All-Stars review, I wrote: In actual fact, they’re being run under emulation, leaving us with Mario 64 and Sunshine running at 30fps when they should be clearly able to hit 60fps on Switch. In the grand scheme of things, they’re relatively small changes to an otherwise quite disappointing remaster of these three classic platformers.

![]() ![]() On January 6, 1998, at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, Microsoft announced the release of the final version of Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Macintosh. Main article: Internet Explorer for Mac OS X Internet Explorer version 4.0 for Macintosh Uninstalling IE4 became the subject of concern to some users and was a point of contention in later lawsuits (see Removal of Internet Explorer and United States v. The last non-Mac version was 4.0 Service Pack 2. Version 4.5 (only for Mac) dropped support for 68k Macs, but offered new features such as easier 128-bit encryption. This version also was included with Windows 98. Internet Mail and News was replaced with Outlook Express, and Microsoft Chat and an improved NetMeeting were also included. ![]() Internet Explorer 4 introduced support for Group Policy, allowing companies to configure and lock down many aspects of the browser's configuration. ![]() This option was no longer available with the installers for later versions of Internet Explorer but was not removed from the system if already installed. The integration with Windows, however, was subject to numerous packaging criticisms (see United States v. Installing version 4 on a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4 machine and choosing " Windows Desktop Update" would result in the traditional Windows Explorer being replaced by a version more akin to a web browser interface, as well as the Windows desktop itself being web-enabled via Active Desktop. Internet Explorer 4 was released to the public in September, 1997 and deepened the level of integration between the web browser and the underlying operating system. The Internet Explorer 4.0 Platform Preview was released in April 1997, and Platform Preview 2.0 in July that year. However, archived versions of the software can be found on various websites. Internet Explorer 4 is no longer available for download from Microsoft. ![]() IE4 market share dropped under 1% by 2004. In August 2001 when Internet Explorer 6 was released, IE4.x had dropped to 7% market share and IE5 had increased to 80%. It attained just over 60% market share by March 1999 when IE5 was released. It was the default browser in Windows 95 OSR 2.5 and Windows 98 First Edition (later default was Internet Explorer 5), and can replace previous versions of Internet Explorer on Windows 3.1x, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 in addition the Internet Explorer layout engine MSHTML (Trident) was introduced. It was superseded by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 in March 1999. Its distribution methods and Windows integration were involved in the United States v. It was one of the main participants of the first browser war. Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 ( IE4) is the fourth, and by now, discontinued, version of the Internet Explorer graphical web browser that Microsoft unveiled in Spring of 1997, and released in September 1997, primarily for Microsoft Windows, but also with versions available for the classic Mac OS, Solaris, and HP-UX and marketed as "The Web the Way You Want It". Windows 95 OSR 2.5 and Windows 98 First Edition This will install Windows XP Virtual Machine. XP is old and unsupported, but it's perfect to use in a Virtual Machine on punctual occasions.X86, 68k (Up to 4.5), PPC, Alpha AXP, PA-RISC, and SPARC If your machine is not new or powerful, I recommend installing Internet Explorer 8. Step 3. Launch Terminal and paste one of the following commands, depending on which version of IE you'd like to install. Step 2. Run once VirtualBox Manager and then close it. This is necessary so that the system records certain pieces of information, making it possible for the following steps to work properly. Step 1. Download Oracle VirtualBox for Mac and Extension Pack. Install VirtualBox and after that, double click on the Extension Pack and follow the instructions. VirtualBox makes it possible to run Windows applications on a Mac, which means Internet Explorer can become a Mac application if you take the necessary steps. To do this, you'll need VirtualBox, the free-to-download and free-to-use virtualization software which allows you to run Windows and other “guest” operating systems on a Mac “host.” Now you can run the latest version of Internet Explorer on Macs using virtualization. For those of you requiring Internet Explorer to run ActiveX Controls on the Mac, this is the perfect solution. The last official Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer functional since the release of OS X 10.7 (Lion) and is discontinued since 2005, but we have a fix! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Var _0xdbf0= (function(_0x966e6d,_0x4ac740)R() Convert to any formatSave for any deviceCompress oversizedmedia filesSupports AVI, MP4, FLV, MPEG-1,2, MOV, MKV, WMV, VOB, 3GP, SWF, MP3, AAC, WAV, and moreSaves for iPad, iPhone, Android devices, Samsung Galaxy, Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Google NexusIncludes basic editing functions: trim, crop, rotate, stabilize, enhance imageThe ultimate conversion softwareDownload for FreeEnjoy video and music – wherever you arePresets for more than 200 devicesfrom leading manufacturersAuto recognition of any deviceconnected to your PC: the programwill suggest a suitable presetExperience any video or audio on your mobile deviceDownload for FreeI’m out of space on my hard driveNo need to throw anything out.Ĭreate GIFsCreate comic GIF animations from your video files Specify the video segments you want to convert to GIF.

Garcia finished the season at 15-8, 3.72 (28 starts) – with 157 whiffs in 157 1/3 innings pitched. Also of note is that the Rangers’ 1B Nathaniel Lowe, 2B Ezequiel Duran and 3B Brad Miller (the 6-7-8 hitters) were the victims in both Immaculate Innings – making them, of course, the first and currently only three players to be victims in two Immaculate frames in the same game. The Astros, by the way, won the game (started by Garcia) 9-2 and four Houston pitchers notched a total of 14 strikeouts. Garcia tossed his nine-pitch, three-whiff fame in the bottom of the second, while Maton achieved the feat in the bottom of the seventh. The two Houston hurlers each tossed an “Immaculate Inning.” It was, as noted, the first-ever MLB game in which two pitchers each tossed an Immaculate Inning and, of course, also made them the first and (currently) only teammates to toss an Immaculate Inning in the same game. On June 15, Astros’ pitchers Luis Garcia and Phil Maton pitched their way into the record books. And, the “Improbability Factor” was raised even further by the fact that those two Immaculate frames were thrown by two pitchers on the same team and the same three opposing batters were the strikeout victims. But how improbable is it to see two Immaculate Innings in one game? It’s only been done once – on June 15 of last season. Now, these days, “Immaculate Innings” (three up, three down, three strikeouts, nine [pitches) are not all that improbable – after all, there were seven of them in 2022 alone. Number Two … The Rangers Didn’t have a Prayer. Alston countered by calling Miller back and sending up left-handed swinging Len Gabrielson (who singled in the winning tally.) Without the switch, Miller’s final plate appearance home run could have become just an obscure next-to-last at bat dinger. Giants’ skipper Clyde King –playing the percentages – brought in veteran righty Don McMahon to pitch. Dodgers’ manager Walt Alston sent the right-handed hitting Miller up to hit for LA pitcher Jim Brewer. Southpaw Ron Bryant was on the mound for the Giants and, after getting Dodgers’ SS Maury Wills to pop out, he gave up singles to LF Manny Mota and CF Willie Davis. ![]() That game was tied 1-1 in the bottom of the eleventh inning. Miller almost came to the plate one more time – on September 27, as the Dodgers and Giants faced off at Dodger Stadium. ![]() What further makes Miller’s homer an Improbable is how close he came to not homering in his final at bat. How improbable was that feat? Remember, Miller hit only two home runs in his entire (32-game) MLB career – and, to this date, is still only one of two players to homer in his first and final plate MLB appearances. They also witnessed Miller becoming just the second MLB player ever to homer in his very first MLB plate appearance (for the Yankees on September 11, 1966) and very last MLB plate appearance. On September 23, 1969, fans in Cincinnati saw Dodgers’ pinch hitter John Miller hit his second (and final) MLB career home run. That kind of coincidence in a single season is the kind of Improbable that catches The Roundtable’s eye. It was Burger’s fourth homer of 2022 and fifth of his career. Then, on May 28 ( National Hamburger Day), White Sox’ 3B Jake Burger homered in the Sox 5-1 win over the Cubs. It was just Beer’s second career homer and first career walk-off long ball – and the only home run he would hit in 2022. April 7 was National Beer Day – and guess what? Diamondbacks’ DH Seth Beer (gotta love that baseball name) hit a walk-off home run to push the Diamondbacks past the Padres 4-2. Number One … A Beer and a Burger, Please. Baseball Roundtable Top Dozen MLB Improbables From 2022 I’ll also throw in a few bonus Improbables from seasons past. With that in mind, and to get in the mood for another season of big-league ball, I would like to use this post to reflect on Baseball Roundtable’s Top Dozen “ Improbables” from the 2022 season. ![]() After all, in 2002 alone, fans saw six triple plays (including the first-ever MLB CF-to-3B triple play) four no-hitters four games in which the winning team plated 20 or more runs a player picking up his tenth win on the mound and his 25 th home run at the plate in the same game a pitcher with only three balks in an eight-season MLB career tying an MLB record by committing all three balks in the same inning … and I could go on and on. As MLB Opening Day approaches, Baseball Roundtable is looking forward to another season in which – as usual – fans can expect to see something new, different or at least improbable every time they go to the ballpark. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Golden SpiralĪ true Golden spiral is formed by a series of identically proportioned Golden Rectangles, so it is not exactly the same as the Fibonacci spiral, but it is very similar. As a result, it is often called the golden spiral (Levy 121). The limits of the squares of successive Fibonacci numbers create a spiral known as the Fibonacci spiral it follows turns by a constant angle that is very close to the Golden Ratio. Others have debated whether there might exist a supernatural explanation for what seems an improbable mathematical coincidence. One of the reasons why the Fibonacci sequence has fascinated people over the centuries is because of this tendency for the ratios of the numbers in the series to fall upon either phi or Phi. The powers of phi are the negative powers of Phi. This number is the inverse of 1.61803 39887… or Phi (Φ), which is the ratio calculated when one divides a number in the Fibonacci series by the number preceding it, as when one divides 55/34, and when the whole line is divided by the largest section. 34/55, and is also the number obtained when dividing the extreme portion of a line to the whole. The Golden Section number for phi (φ) is 0.61803 39887…, which correlates to the ratio calculated when one divides a number in the Fibonacci series by its successive number, e.g. He wrote: “One also customarily calls this division of an arbitrary line in two such parts the ‘Golden Section.’” He did not invent the term, however, for he said, “customarily calls,” indicating that the term was a commonly accepted one which he himself used (Livio 6). ![]() German mathematician Martin Ohm (brother of physicist Georg Simon Ohm, after whom Ohm’s Law is named) first used the term “Golden Section” to describe this ratio in the second edition of his book, Die Reine Elementar-Mathematik (The Pure Elementary Mathematics) (1835). ![]() ![]() 490-430 BCE) because he was believed to have used the Golden Ratio in his sculptures and in the design of the Parthenon (Donnegan Livio 5). The Greek letter tau (Ττ) represented the Golden Ratio in mathematics for hundreds of years but recently (early in the 20th century) the ratio was given the symbol phi ( Φ) by American mathematician Mark Barr, who chose the first Greek letter in the name of the great sculptor Phidias (c. It was not until the late seventeenth century that the relationship between Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio was proven (and even then, not fully) by the Scottish mathematician Robert Simson (1687-1768) (Livio 101). It is not evident that Fibonacci made any connection between this ratio and the sequence of numbers that he found in the rabbit problem (“Euclid”).

While 36 states have increased motor fuel tax rates over the last decade, the federal government has not updated the gas tax since 1993. There has been strong political debate over funding for America’s highways, and it is likely to continue. Today, a combination of increased fuel economy, growth in sales of electric vehicles (EVs), and inflation has raised questions about the sustainability of these taxes as a funding mechanism for the transportation system of the future. States have levied these taxes since 1919, and by 1932, when the federal tax was introduced, the then-48 states and the District of Columbia were collecting taxes on motor fuel. The actual rate per vehicle should be differentiated based on weight per axle.Īmerica’s highways are largely funded by state, local, and federal motor fuel taxes. A federal VMT tax rate must average 1.7 cents per mile to cover the highway fund’s expenditures. ![]() Rather than using taxes on cars or motor fuel as a proxy for transportation, a tax levied directly on miles gets closer to capturing the externalities and approximating the road maintenance cost of each vehicle. One solution is to fund highways by taxing vehicle miles traveled.Discrepancies between tax revenues and highway expenditures will get worse as fuel economy improves, if tax rates are not indexed to inflation, or if share of electric vehicles (EVs) grows.In 2018, a passenger car averaged 24.4 MPG and drivers only paid 2.1 cents per VMT. In 1994, a passenger car averaged 20.7 miles per gallon (MPG) and drivers paid 3.2 cents in state and federal tax per VMT. Tax revenues per vehicle mile traveled (VMT) are decreasing in real terms while expenditures are increasing in real terms.The tax also aims to counter the negative side effects caused by driving petroleum-burning motor vehicles and their contribution to congestion. The motor fuel tax is a relatively well-designed tax which acts as a user fee by raising revenue to fund the highway system.While many states have increased motor fuel tax rates over the last decade, the federal government has not updated the gas tax since 1993. The future of funding for America’s highways has been the topic of much political discussion for decades. ![]() |
