No, the Euro version never had full harware BC. The launch US 60GB and 20GB had the Emotion Engine (CPU) as well as the GPU from the PS2 built in.
The launch versions in Europe had the GPU, but used software emulation of the EE right from the beginning.
There has never been any version anywhere that had full software emulation of the CPU AND GPU, so when people say software emulation, they mean of the CPU only.
So no, your European PS3 does not have hardware BC. It has the software emulation.
Go stand in front of a mirror for a while, and marvel at the 3D imagery from a 2D surface.
No. The image is not formed at the mirror's surface, and that is not where your eye is focused.
The image you see of any specific object reflected in the mirror is behind the mirror at the object's reflected location. No different than looking at something directly.
Not at all like looking at a monitor, where if your eyes are not focused on the surface of the monitor, the entire image will be out of focus.
Not nothing. Free music can be spread (caught) more easily. So if you have alternative mechanisms to monetize in place (concert tour for example), you may reap more profit from free music than non-free music.
USPS, not always on time, but mostly reliable; premium services don't compare with FedEx; tracking isn't great
Shipped a package once USPS with a guaranteed delivery date (extra fee for the guaranteed shipping). Package arrived 5 days late. Attempted to collect my refund. Was told by USPS counter worker that they "did not guarantee their guarantee" and I would receive no refund.
I remember a 5.6 aftershock from the '94 Northridge quake, and I was in my apt. about 8 miles from the epicenter. It was a little more than a large truck going by, but it was still no big deal.
Right. No houses have been sold since the 1970's. We're all still paying $200 a year.
Property taxes are not frozen in any way shape or form. They have an increase rate that is capped regardless of housing price bubbles, and if your house is sold, or has major improvements and is reassessed, it is then taxed at its new value. The only people arguably "making out" in this scenario are people who bought decades ago in areas where prices were a fraction of what they are today. Who tend to be, you know, old and retired and on fixed incomes.
In the first 8 years I owned my house, it's value went up 2.5X. Now it's back down to 2X. You honestly believe my property tax bill should have followed that curve, in spite of my income remaining fairly flat over that time and my not selling the property and realizing any of that value increase? My property taxes have in fact increased by about 38% in that time.
In L.A., drivers behind you will generally not tolerate a gap of more than about.8 - 1 second in front of you, and will pass you and cut back in if you leave one that large.
That's the advertised entry point. The mini is the other entry point around the back that they pretend they don't want you to use, but really, they're just fine with it.
By that logic, sales of blu-ray players will decline from now on.
I don't think it's going to be the success the industries were hoping for, but I do think it is going to increase mildly in popularity for a few more eyars.
And many of them are special "edited for Wal-Mart" versions that eliminate content.
Baloney. They do that with music CDs, but the only "special Walmart versions" of blu-rays are ones with exclusive content to get you to come to their store to buy.
I see this argument a lot in defense of other mfrs copying Apple designs. While it certainly has some validity, I wonder, can anyone find an example of a tablet released before the iPad that looks nearly as much like it as these do?

He was being "rude" by refusing to submit to an unauthorized search, but they were merely "awkward" by making him stand in the sun for 2 hours?
I am polite to police officers and agree one should be, but you are still full of it.
The percentage of people who would support the idea of a pirate party if it were to exist: 1-2%.
I wish. It might be that high if you include teenagers. Of people who can and do vote, though, I'd bet more like .01%.
doomed maybe.
Were you under 7 years old at the time?

It does that? DDT is an inaccuracide?

In other words, none of you are even working 40 hours a week, unless you are skipping lunch every day.
Or if you, say, added a small border around the plate with just enough room for some text . . .

Well there goes that saying.
