Now we just have a waiting game, to see if any major developers will adopt it. It seems these days they just want to port over xbox games so directx is the obvious choice.
My school began a similar setup my senior year and I must say it worked quite well. Teachers would submit a request in advance, and the various carts would be distributed as needed. It freed up our existing lab rooms to be converted into additional class space, and swapping a non-functional laptop out of the cart was much faster than dealing with a desktop.
Just how many shows are these people actually watching? An hour slot usually encodes to less than 700MB. At 250GB per month, assuming half of that was TV, they have:
I think its quite amusing to see exactly how bad AoC failed. Just wish I could say I wasn't one of the people who fell for the hype and bought it on release.
Ill second that. If they wont produce a readable article, slashdot shouldn't link to it. They aren't getting any add revenue from me anyways, but I still cant be bothered to click through god knows how many pages to read something that would fit on one sheet of A4.
My board actually has all of those, as well as optical audio input and output, and HDMI output. The HDMI came in handy to output to my projector, that way I can get digital video out of my HD 3870 without sacrificing my secondary monitor.
And, spent less than $90 USD on it.
Come to think of it, there is another advantage. I can specify 32mb of ram for the onboard, so I dont loose another 512/1024mb chunk of my 4GB to the 32bit ram tax.
The onboard video is a freebie dumbass. Unless you have difficulty understanding which plug to hook your monitor up to, you shouldn't have an issue just plugging in your lvl9000 UBAR CARD.
Its part of the AMD southbridge. A board without onboard video would probably indicate that its a piece of crap.
Thats funny, cause I just put utorrent in my startup, then whenever I want to watch a show I just double click the one I want. The whole initial setup took literally minutes thanks to utorrent, k-lite codec pack and tvrss.net
Its quite obvious they are failing to see where the interest is. Their options are to provide free access to music video's and put them in front of literally millions of people, or they can stick to radio and mtv...
Excepting of course that google is a free service to anyone who can type google.com into a web browser. This would simply mean there would be fewer hops between users and google's servers, therefore a better quality of service to the user. It has absolutely nothing to do with the user paying anyone.
Its like paying a higher price for a better location if you run a retail store. The customer doesn't pay for it, the business does.
Theres nothing illegal about it. Microsoft does dictate hardware specs to manufacturers, as they have in the past and will continue in the future. If the manufacturer wants to continue selling MS products on their machine, they have to play by their rules. Why do you think they cant sell you a system with no OS?

Sorry, cant talk now... Mike is tripping.

Shampoo, Is that you?
2020 will also be the year of linux on the desktop.
Your google skills are fail.

Not only does it work with Chrome, it works with any application, including any version of Internet Explorer.

250GB x 1024 = 256000MB
256000 / 700 = 365.7 Hours
That would be over 13 hours of TV a day, every day for a month. Right...

I believe the point of the whole idea is that the monitoring/tracking is part of their sentence.
Thanks for the math. Really puts things into perspective.
Once again these things come down to a reasonable and moderate attitude instead of the typical knee-jerk reaction of these green freaks.
Your superior E-Peen gives you epic troll abilities I see.

Yep. Always stuck out to me as something most people were ignorant of.

Sounds like your doing it the hard way.
Duplicate plates? When I was in school, we used to actually swap the plates themselves lol.
Kids and technology these days.
wtf is hulu? I just started using bittorrent with a rss feed, so much easier...

Seriously. Whats next? Windows 7 will feature a task bar at the top of the screen with a magnifying shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen?

Real nerds run them on a virtual machine, sandboxed in the copy of VMware they pirated years last week.
Stop feeding the troll. There are people in this world who will spew bullshit till they are blue in the face if it will get them some attention.
Anyone who's opinion matters knows he's full of bullshit.
Try Coast LED Lenser lights. I have three, all of which can be found at retailers for less than $60 USD.
They have one that will run 83 lumens for 5 hours on three AAA's. Compared to 90 minutes of 90 lumens, that's a reasonable sacrifice imho.
