Can you ask Apple to get a decent MPEG2 decoder for OS X too. Their codec which is used in all their processional applications from Final Cut to Quicktime Pro 7 all use a PowerPC only codec, and will only run on one core. Makes your Mac Pro struggle worse than h.264 encoded in flash player.
Anyone know of any large outsourcing company that deliver what they promised, to a decent quality?
Capita are another company that comes to mind. They have ripped off most public services in the UK with their poor products. Capita did a good job at ripping Birmingham City Council off with their new web site.
Unsure where patents come in to this. If there was a software patent being copied, which there isn't, it would not be valid in the EU, let alone China.
The PS3 is shockingly bad at playback of DVDs. The scaling isn't good (well I gave a Fujitsu plasma which should do well at scaling compared to the PS3 anyway), and the processing on the PS3 makes everything look like it's made of plastic. My £200 Denon DVD player on the other hand looks much better. I haven't tried a BD-P, wonder if the PS3 is just as bad as it is at playing DVDs.
My Arcam and Musical Fidelity hi-fi is purely analogue too, PS3 lacks 7.1 out.
You can drill 1mm holes in CD's and it shouldn't skip or sound odd. If a bit of dust on the CD makes it sound bad, your CD player needs calibrating or fixing.
You're system would have sounded less clean with the premaps in the signal chain. You MF DAC has a preamp already, the gain is high enough, why use another gain stage? Less is better, unless you want a certain sound.
SPDIF RCA style optical
You what? It's one or the other. I guess you mean SPDIF over copper terminated with RCA plugs. Sometimes the clock isn't carried down fibre optic SPDIF but is over copper, or vice-versa. Your DAC will lock on to the clock of the USB interface if there is one, that would make a difference in quality.
You should have spent half your money on acoustic treatment, you would have a far better sounding system.:)
Back in October of this year, Apple published a rather short, but affirmative promise stating quite simply that, 'Apple will support Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate) with Boot Camp in Mac OS X Snow Leopard before the end of the year [CC].
Digital Minimum Dealer Price £0.40p : Only tracks with a minimum PPD of 40 pence or more shall be eligible for the Official Singles Chart. In the event that a record company has an alternative business model for the sale of downloads (i.e., one not based on a published dealer price), the price charged to the online digital retailer should not be less than 32 pence per track. OCC will monitor sales to ensure they are 'genuine sales'. Where OCC judges sales not to be genuine, they may be excluded from the chart at OCC's absolute discretion.
There is a large shopping mall in Birmingham, UK that uses face recognition. It also uses RFID and collects details of who these people are when they make a transaction using a credit or debit card. System copes with over 1 million in footfall each week.

The capacities are also 16, 32 and 64 GB.

But, but, all of Google's products are in beta!
Wonder if it will take Skype down again with it too.
Ugh, Microsoft! Get it right.

I'm in full support of Dirac, and there is an idea posted: http://productideas.appspot.com/#9/e=3d60a&t=dirac

Why would the kid need counselling? Do they think he is mentally disturbed for making a home made electronics project?
No flames can kill prions.
From the first line of TFA:
During the holiday season, many people place toy trains on circular tracks beneath their Christmas trees.
I've never heard of that before.
Best Buy is coming to the UK this year.

Hang on, it's January.
It's behind you!
Cue panto replies.
Seems we have slashdotted the first couple web sites that come before Target when using google.co.uk .

Which immediately disqualifies any tracks released under Creative Commons.
Where CC is not used by the music industry, especially in the UK, as we have good copyright laws in place already.
You can do whatever you want with the recordings and publishing rights if you own them anyway.
Well, here is the small print of the rules.

Unsure how successful it has been in the UK though. Never seen anyone use it.
