    Nope, they state 64 discrete feeds.

  2. Re:...overkill...? on Will Dolby's New Atmos 62.2 Format Redefine Surround Sound? · · Score: 1

    Dolby's marketing says '64 discrete speaker feeds'.

    Oh and it has to also use 64-bit/384kHz sound otherwise the superharmonic resonance won't be perfect.

    Yeah, but just price the system at around $10-15 thousand and it'll be viewed as a bargain to the audiophile crowd. They'll make a good killing off those morons.

    ATi doesn't exist anymore as a company or brand. ATi can't do anything at all.

    Since when have you ever had access to all the hardware firmware in your system?

    You mean the second-best selling console of ths generation that was making profit on hardware sales long before Sony did with the PS3? Oh and let's not the billion+ revenue that Xbox Live brings in a year. Yeah, what a failure the 360 has been for Microsoft.

    I require nothing of the sort. But, if a company wants a loyal, long-term employee it will cost them money and effort. If they don't want to put in that effort I'm not going to shed tears for them. The broken system of cut-throat poaching is the one they created and perpetuated once loyalty was thrown out the window.

    You're right. We should all just work for free because the poor whittle companies might have to cut into their bottom-line otherwise. Oh the horrors. If these people want good people their gong to have to pay for it rather than expecting people to be wage slaves.

    It allows you to write the same bloated code but in a different langauge.

    Yeah, except for the newest iPad, a large portion of the sales were to people who had never bought a single Apple device before. Those are hardly fanbois.

    They also fail at being a useful tool as well. Almost no one thinks BES is a selling point these days, their Exchange support sucks, their touchscreen phones are terrible and even their hardware meyboard phones have lately been sub-par. They have no really compelling product and the Crackberry dinosaurs are an ever shrinking group.

    You mean insufficient demand, no? Insufficient supply drives things up not down.

    Boohoo. It costs money and takes real effort to keep people. Either accept this and find those good people or keep perpetuating a broken system, but don't complain to me about your woes.

  15. Re:O RLY? on Why Bad Jobs (or No Jobs) Happen To Good Workers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Duh. Getting a living wage decreases short-term profits and that's just anti-capitalist.

    Or they won't jump to anything if they weren't treated like a cog. But loyalty hasn't been a part of most employer's vocabulary for going on 30+ years. If you want good, loyal employees it *gasp* means you might have to spend a bit more to treat them well.

    That costs money and would negatively affect short-term profit margins.

  18. Re:It's possible on RIM Drops Playbook Price By 66% · · Score: 1

    Yeah because they've moved most of their PC building to China and laid off people domestically just to keep a hold of their meager margins.

    No they aren't. In their own statements their global sales are in a slump. If the were selling more phones their head of global sales wouldn't have resigned in May because of... poor sales.

  20. Re:Biased much? on RIM Drops Playbook Price By 66% · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In breaking news, sales figures are more meaningful than some study of unknown quality. When it comes to sales, iPad still blows away the competition by a large margin.

    Sure, until it drives those OEMs out of business or forces them to sell their PC divisions because they can't make any money and 10s if not 100s of thousands of people get laid off in the process.

    How about figures based on sales numbers not some study of a couple thousand people where the selection criteria and error margin is left out.

    Because their phones are clunky and offer nothing you can't get elsewhere. BES is not really a selling point these days.
