EDIT: I see a SATA card that's cheaper. Are they backwards compatible with PATA ?

The Power Mac Storage FAQ - - MacNN Forums
SATA can be made backwards compatible with PATA, but it requires a bridge chip to do so. Small converter boards are sold, they cost $15 - $46 each. OWC has a couple that they've apparently tested and found to work well in the G5, newegg has a bunch more.

Is rdiff-backup backwards compatible?

rdiff-backup FAQ
In general, rdiff-backup does not strive to make newer clients compatible with older servers (or vice versa). However, there is no intention to purposefully make different versions incompatible across the network -- changes are introduced primarily to fix bugs or introduce new features that cannot be implemented without breaking the network protocol. Furthermore, rdiff-backup does try to make it possible to read older archives.

Will Blu-ray be backwards compatible with DVD?

Blu-ray.com - Blu-ray FAQ
Yes, several leading consumer electronics companies (including Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Pioneer, Sharp and LG) have already demonstrated products that can read/write CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs using a BD/DVD/CD compatible optical head, so you don't have to worry about your existing DVD collection becoming obsolete. In fact, most of the Blu-ray players coming out will support upscaling of DVDs to 1080p/1080i, so your existing DVD collection will look even better than before.

Yes, but the list of compatible games will only be known at launch. The AU PS3 has had hardware emulation disabled in favour of software emulation, unlike the US version. Whether or not this will lead to better or worse backwards compatibility is not known.

Is the GP2X backwards-compatible with the GP32?

myGP2X: The GP2X FAQ
The short answer is no, the long answer is probably not. I believe that Game Park hold the rights to the GP32 and anyway, the OS on the GP2X is just too different. Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it."

How backwards-compatible is Juce?

Raw Material Software - Juce
This really depends on what I decide to add to each release, but I'll only make changes that require changes to client-code if there's a good reason for it. In general most new releases haven't affected any client-code, but where it does I'll explain what to do in the release notes. I also try to ensure that any changes break the code at compile-time, rather than causing unexpected problems later on.

Is the GameCube backwards compatible with N64 games?

Welcome
No. The GameCube runs on a mini-DVD medium while the Nintendo 64 was a cartridge based system. With far more developers signed up for the GameCube than ever were signed up for the N64, is backwards compatibility really wanted? GameCube presents a dramatic leap in capability and such a great difference in hardware, backwards compatibility just isn't worth it.

Are the plugins/Project64 forwards/backwards compatible?

FAQs
This is fairly confusing to explain but here goes: the 1.4(&1.5) application is backwards compatible with all public versions of the plugin specifications, so you can use for example the v1.0 video plugin in 1.4 .exe if you wish. The plugins however are not backwards compatible, so for example you cannot use the 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 application with the 1.4 plugin (but you could use a 1.3 plugin with 1.4 app, because both 1.3 and 1.4 share the newer 1.

MapleStory/FAQs - StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and ...
The Wizard's and Cleric's Teleport skill works by sending you a certain distance in the direction of whichever arrow key is pressed, given that there is a platform to stand on at that location and that you have enough MP. A magcian teleports backwards by using an attack skill, and teleporting while holding down the back arrow key. This is called telecasting. Most mages use this technique for bosses etc. as the attacks miss them if they teleport at the right moment. You can also do this forward.

What's backwards masking?

The Beatles began to enjoy experimenting with bits of backwards tape, as can be heard as early as their single "Rain". What "backwards masking" refers to, however, is the alleged recording *forwards* of a reverse message, comprehensible only by playing the song *backwards* --- although this is not the audiophilic definition of the term (which is a phenomenon perceived when a soft passage is followed by a loud passage of music, talk, whatever..

NYC Airports to Manhattan Transportation FAQ - FlyerGuide Wi...
Yes, the Q10 and Q10 Limited bus connect JFK to the A train's Lefferts Blvd stop or the E/F trains' Kew Gardens/Union Turnpike stop. (The Q10 runs local, making every stop along the route; the Q10 Limited makes fewer stops.) The buses on these routes do not have luggage racks (be prepared to hold your luggage in your lap or slide it under your seat) and can be very slow. The B15 bus connects JFK to the New Lots Avenue stop (served by the 3 during the day and the 4 late nights).

Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?

SONAR 6 FAQs - Sonar
Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3. To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave." (SOURCE: Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk).
