There has been incredibly little motion blur in movies for decades now. The exposure time remains very short, even if the frame rate is low, to intentionally make each frame "clearer" by reducing motion blur. This is compensated by having lots of glass to bring in enough light.
People spend extra money to buy TVs that interpolate & motion-smooth their 24fps blu-rays up to 120fps, yet freak out when theaters dare to go above 24. What the heck?
The IBM T221s mentioned here are 3840x2400 at 22". I've got 2 of them, don't do any OS scaling (plus even reduce the font size in most apps), and they're really nice, if your eyesight isn't bad.
If you can't cook, then chances are you're eating out. $500/mo is just $16/day, which is easily done by grabbing a combo meal & a starbucks on a regular basis. If you're going to a sit-down place, it's easy to spend $16 on just 1 meal, even at something like IHOP, including drink/tax/tip.
As an American who's older than 30, it's great to hear this. It's becoming easier and easier to stand heads-and-shoulders above your peers just by doing simple things like this, and having a good work ethic.
If healthy food is more expensive than McDonald's, then you fail at basic shopping.
Seriously, I'm not talking about coupon-cutting crazies, just plain, regular shopping that can give you large, great meals for under $5 that blow the socks off a more expensive McD's combo meal; or if you have to focus on saving money, under $1 for a big pile of staple food.
David Copperfield patented his mechanism for doing his flying routine, plainly showing the "secrets" behind the trick. That's just a famous example, I'm sure there are others.
I'm surprised that he even bothered with his garage, shopping for a house specifically with one that size. I presume he's without kids now, so getting a giant house with a 3-car garage seems quite overkill compared to a decent 1-person house with a backyard big enough to throw up a good shed large enough to house the simulator.
This is harvesting statistics from web browser requests. Do some older browsers just fix their info to 1024x768 regardless of the actual display involved?
Because displays are tied to movie decoding, not desktop productivity. Everybody seems to be confused as to what more than 1080 pixels vertical would possibly be used for. Yet everybody who gets to use their Facebooks and Yahoo mails on a decent display vs their dinky laptop always says "Wow, this is nice".
Yes, the loss of vertical space between the prior "common" laptop resolution of 1280x800 (which was also a more useful 16:10 instead of 16:9) and 1366x768 is definitely noticeable. Many browser-based games won't even fit in 768 pixels without fullscreening (as in completely removing titlebars) the browser.
But seriously, not it is not "cool that there is at least an "attempt"" to bring back the brand, with zero innovation besides a breadbox casemod. Note that all their other systems (including their "Amiga"s) are just cheap Chinese off-the-line volume machines available to anybody to throw their badge on it.
We should use our wealth to help implement their decisions
Why? There are billions of problems in this world, with the African soil situation being but one. What is it about this particular problem, one which the rest of the world has attempted and failed at over many years, that demands continual involvement?
Not necessarily. One commonly cited reason for the lack of open-source drivers is that there is 3rd party licensed code in there, which does not allow source-level redistribution. Patents have nothing to do with releasing source: Patents by their nature (are supposed to) reveal inner workings of inventions, for public domain use after their term has expired.
It's copyrights, NDAs, and other contracts that bind all the code up behind blob-only drivers.
Again, if this is a passive listener looking for emerging threats, in a broad net, with no known "bad guy they're making links to", but "find me new bad guys", then the "who" is not part of the equation. Encryption would prevent an innocent, unconnected person from being labeled "suspicious" due to the content of their activities.
No doubt they also have the ability to put "persons of interest" to flag connections and associations with, and that's where Tor will do you well.
Think of the timing between messages, and the length of messages; those can tell a lot about the communication even without decoding anything. I'm not sure any popular cryptosystem uses junk payloads to thwart that kind of analysis, because of the extra computational and bandwidth burden.
It could also be the case that the NSA does have some weaknesses on popular algorithms, and that the "telltale patterns" fact does hold for bit analysis when the scales get really, really large.

If this is as hydrophobic as they claim, I want a windshield made of the stuff.
Not really; check eBay. Many of them go for <$1000.

You can save a ton more by eating out less. People can easily spend upwards of $500/mo on restaurants, depending on their habits & tastes.

16:9 monitors tend to be far to narrow to be useful in portrait mode, until you get to the 2560x1440, and even then 1440 wide isn't great.

But... the downtime refused to change.

What exactly are the rights of a minor? Both relative to their parent/guardian, and to what the state can authorize/restrict?
This whole issue is completely retarded.

Filesystem support really matters when you're swapping around USB sticks or external harddrives.
Playing Monopoly tends to lead to violence. Commence warning labels!
The difference is a new company trying to insert itself into the market, vs an existing manufacturer developing their next lines of existing products.
