Not 100% true. he reason they are pushing it hard is that they convinced the theaters that it's the best thing to make money so please buy this overpriced 3d equipment....
If they drop it because it's not really that impressive, they will have a HUGE number of theaters screaming at them for talking them into buying overpriced crap for 3d that got used for 2-3 films only.
I watch Disney Video often, but I never see the forced ad's...
It's because all DVD's and BluRays that come into my home are required to run through handbrake and into a mp4 file before they can be watched. This strips out all the advertising crap and means the discs are left in a like new condition in the storage cabinet in the basement. Kids and other never touch the discs.
I did watch a DVD at a friends last week and was disgusted at the nearly 15 minutes of forced crap on the disc.... even the STOP-STOP-PLAY trick of bypassing it no longer worked.
The same judge is also reenacting the legal right ot have Debtors prison and Debt slavery.
Sounds like the judge needs to be disbarred and thrown into jail for the rest of his life, or at least burned at the stake by the public as a warning to the other judges. I prefer judges and other public service personnel to be publicly executed by the public for misdeeds.. Torches and Pitchforks are the answer to tyranny
You can get nearly the same specs by going to Bed Bath and Beyond and buying the $129.00 Pendigital Novel and installng their Open Platform firmware to it. IT still sucks as a android tablet just like the rest of the offerings out here only because the hardware is half assed.
Will one of these companies PLEASE deliver a 9" Tablet with a capacitive screen 1 gig ram, microSD for storage, non sucky wifi hardware and a full 2.2 Android install? PLEASE?
It's far more convenient to make your customer connect to the apple app store, find your light app, install it, and then figure out how to use it to turn on the light than pressing a freaking button!
Next you will tell me that making them use the iphone/ipod to flush the urinals is a bad idea....
How about simple headphone cords instead so that everyone can use it? the 30 pin connector on the ipod is not the smartest design idea out of apple....
If it's like a LiPo battery, not may at all. LiPo batteries doe very quickly and have a charge/discharge cycle life measured in low 100's. Mostly because even a correct charger for them cant detect the exact charge full point and overcharge them. causing the damn things to go POP!
I had several liPo batteries for a robotics setup and the special $590.00 charger... it still blew up batteries and the manufacturer knew this they replaced 5/8th of my cells TWICE due to being popped by the charger. I have cince moved away from them due to their high unreliability and low life expectancy.
Honestly, you will never get 1080p content from Cable, Dish or OTA. it's 720p source material and I dont care what setting you use on the box, you're watching compressed 720p material. ATSC OTA is the best you will get while Comcast/TimeWarner/Dish/DirectTV will feed you a highly compressed version. your only real source of 1080p is from BluRay discs and most of those are not created with source material that is 1080p or higher. Oh boy, the remastered Rocky Horror Picture Show on BLuRaY! I can now see film Grain! YAY! it looks better on the 10 year old DVD I have.
Also, how about multiple wireless HDMI units? What if I use this in the living room and the bedroom and the Basement? do they claim I can run 3 sets of these all within 30 -40 feet of each other and have no problems? How about people that live in tightly packed condos? I can see 5 of these being within 30 feet of each other.
Really, why not just drop the HDMI/HDCP worthless crap and let us simply stream via the ethernet to our devices? 802.11n can do 1080p at mpeg2:60mbps just fine. HDMI is not protecting anything. I rip blurays directly from the disc, and anything OTA or from a cable box can be ripped at full res from the Component outputs.. if they try to sunset component out on DTV boxes they will have a world of hurt coming in bad PR. Plus HDMI is broken, you can get DSP programs on the web to make your own realtime HDCP scrubber for less than $60.00 in parts.
Honestly what is it with all this concern about truancy.
Just let the idiot kids skip a lot and fail. They can enjoy working as a lower class minimum wage bum. Stop making life a Pain in the Arse for the others that actually care about their education.
MY 18 year old was floored when she said, "Dad will be upset with my grades this semester"... and I responded with, "You are in college on student loans. I'm not the one that needs to be upset. In fact I don't care if you blow off school. You will be the one that cant get a job and have a nice big debt over your head. I'll be disappointed, but you are an adult, if you want to screw up your own life... feel free to do so!"
It changed her attitude overnight. Suddenly stopped partying with friends all the time and now is paying attention. Nothing like smacking your kid in the face with the carp of reality to wake them up.
Honestly, let the loser kids that do not want to learn to skip or drop out. The world needs septic tank cleaners.
Yup, that is what I said in a more detailed nutshell.
It STOPS Firesheep dead and other attacks that are simple one clicks. in fact I mention, "It does not give you security, but it makes it far harder for script kiddie click and hack tools to actually find anything."
There are NO click-and-hack tools that will extract this info from a captured pile of data pulled from a "promiscuous mode" wifi card and do this. so it actually cuts out 95% of the script kiddies that will simply post GNAA posts on your pages. If you think a script kiddie has the ability to use wifi tools and actually has a Monitor mode capable Wifi adapter then you give them too much credit. In fact simply read the netstumbler forums or the other Wifi cracking forums... finding a wifi chipset that does allow it is not super easy.
BTW, promiscuous mode is typically associated with wired card. For wireless cards it's usually called monitor mode.
AP isolation simply works, I tested it when the news first broke about this to answer customers questions. Problem is you cant tell if you are on a AP isolated WAP. but a Properly set up Open AP prevents firesheep from working.
Open WLAN done by garbage WAPs do this. A decent WAP will not make it easy. Ones I install issue a complete seperate IP address and subnet for each connected person... It does not give you security, but it makes it far harder for script kiddie click and hack tools to actually find anything.
"Creates a separate virtual network for your wireless network. When this feature is enabled, each of your wireless client will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with each other. You may want to utilize this feature if you have many guests that frequent your wireless network."
It's called AP isolation and only a half assed install done by a n00b or wanna-be networking person does not have it enabled. Simply enabling this on a Open WAP castrates the firesheep quickly.
So it's only a problem at places where a complete idiot set up the wireless.
I simply connect, fire up my SSL tunnel to home and surf away. or VPN to home, etc... Why dont you do the same? It's trivial to set up and protected you from a lot of things by default.
Sounds like a plan. Nobody is allowed to use the roads in england to make money. Taxpayers paid for those roads you should not let anyone else make money off them.
You sir are what they call in england...... a "Nutter"
Dude the AP already gets money from the Govt for operations.
They can charge fees as soon as they give back ALL the money they have taken from the public.
Oh and covering a war? get your OWN ass over there and your own armor.. No you're not riding in the Tank with us nor will we waste bullets to keep your butts alive... OR we can charge you a fee for that.
Problem is our current leaders are too stupid to do this.
I call shenanigans... Where did they put the fuel tanks, the Engines, and you cant use the wiring for the house, it's not even the same type of wiring. Also all those uncomfortable seats. The house is going to have incredibly ugly furniture.
From the photos it looks like they only used a few parts of the aircraft. and the home could have been built without any airplane being flown to the worksite.....
Here in the real world the Judges and Police happily trample a persons right and due process to do whatever the hell they want.
In Auzzie land it must be very lax for legal documents. Here in the USA you must be served the real paperwork. Although some scumbag judges and dirty cops like to skirt the law and do whatever it takes.
For Example: Emanuel Goldstein was served papers while he was out of the state. they knocked on his door, someone else answered and they literally THREW the papers through the open doorway.
This is technically not a legal serving of papers, but judges allow and encourage such bending of the law all the time.

Try Idiocracy...
Oh wait, that's a documentary...
Seven...
A good SciFi fan needs 7 of them.
Here's hoping for Starfleet Academy daytime Soap Opera, and Star-Trek babies!
Agreed.

Bleeding heart liberal. discreete rfid... BAH!
2D bar-code on the forehead and on the back of the neck. death penalty for emo kids that cover it with their hair.
While we are at it, no smiling, everyone must wear shades of grey...

Lightroom uses the 3d card heavily. OP just does not know what s/he "needs".
IT doesn't. Honestly he wants to use virtualization just to say he does.
If he wants to run lightroom and Photoshop, then run it in the host OS, virtualize everything else.
Upkeep....
OF ROCKS!
Sounds like a plan. Nobody is allowed to use the roads in england to make money. Taxpayers paid for those roads you should not let anyone else make money off them.
You sir are what they call in england...... a "Nutter"
Very true. It was more likely built by the Celts.
So the Irish and Scottish have more of a claim to it than the english do.
You can shove that one directly up your Bum....
Glad to see your Government is completely full of what you call "nutters". My photos of Stonehenge are My property and I'll sell them all I want.
Dude the AP already gets money from the Govt for operations.
They can charge fees as soon as they give back ALL the money they have taken from the public.
Oh and covering a war? get your OWN ass over there and your own armor.. No you're not riding in the Tank with us nor will we waste bullets to keep your butts alive... OR we can charge you a fee for that.
Problem is our current leaders are too stupid to do this.
Nope it costs NOTHING to dismantle and recycle. People will gladly buy them. There is a crapload of aluminum and copper in those things.
Recycling a plane is a net profit.
I call shenanigans... Where did they put the fuel tanks, the Engines, and you cant use the wiring for the house, it's not even the same type of wiring. Also all those uncomfortable seats. The house is going to have incredibly ugly furniture.
