Because nobody makes a better Professional HD camcorder. Because nobody makes a better Windows Video editing platform outside of AVID. (No Adobe's products are not pro level) Because nobody makes a LIVE video production suite that is as capable... Because nobody makes a digital Video recording format that is as good as AVCHD or XDCAM. Because nobody makes a better digital video stream processor like Sony's. Because nobody makes a pocked field editing system like the PDWHR1.. I can have only 2 guys in the field to shoot and edit a small event and upload the thing before they pack up the car and leave, the thing will DIRECT SFTP the files to the server as they drive down the road.
That's why. SONY OWNS the commercial production video market hands down. Because the other choices are mediocre or half assed with bad work-flows. Panasonic and JVC utterly suck in workflow.
Do you watch TV? then you support sony as almost ALL tv shows are produced with either a Sony editing system (Sony OWNS the live TV editing market... Daily Show and Colbert Report are on Sony gear for live editing and switching...) shot on Sony cameras or are on cameras that use the Sony AVCHD format. Most of Discovery Channel now shoots on AVCHD cameras as digital delivery to cheap sd cards is better than the tape alternative.
So stop watching TV as well, as that supports Sony. (a different division that has nothing to do with the others, but it's still "Sony")
1 - EXACTLY! I'm not going to retype something that is clearly spelled out. This is slashdot, not my PHD dissertation... Or my weekly article in Wired...
2 - You are correct, but that is NOT what I said.
3 - The Articles I found about it are wrong then, all info I could find mentioned they were closer. got any links to details on that so that I can read more on it?
Honestly, are you new to this country? the MPAA and RIAA as well as other rich groups regularly violate laws daily without recourse. This is how America works.
Laws are for putting the trouble making poor in Jail. They have no other use.
Sirius Satellites Radiosat 1 through Radiosat 3 fly in geosynchronous highly elliptical orbit (Tundra orbit) in a 24-hour orbital period. The elliptical path of its satellite constellation ensures that each satellite spends about 16 hours a day over the continental United States, with at least one satellite over the country at all times. The orbit allows the satellites to broadcast from directly overhead the continental United States, avoiding the problem of large buildings or objects blocking the signal and requiring a much smaller terrestrial repeater network than does sister network XM.
They are also not higher power, they are transmitting a lot less bandwith than a TV bird is. lower data amount = lower power needed.
Finally their orbit makes them a lot closer to the earth than a geostationary orbit... giving them a simple boost from less distance and the advantages of the inverse square law.
It's the difference between C band and Ku band. C band is 5.850–6.425Ghz while the Ku Band is 12 to 18 GHz. you need a LOT LARGER dish for C band to get the same gain that a small dish at Ku band will get. THIS is the reason why today's home TV dishes are smaller. NOT technology or power. In fact a Lot of TV is still available on the C band. I have friends that have a couple of the big dishes and get a lot of channels, two pay for HBO and STARZ and get about 40 channels of them in the pack for about $100.00 a year.
The biggest advantages have been in low noise temperature Amplifiers and block converters.
With a small 36-38" dish and a premium LNB I can pull in DishTV through a tree during a massive rainstorm. My FTA setup regularly pulls in the europe birds through the neighbors trees with it's 120cm dish and it's invacom 0.3db quad LNB. The garbage grade 28" dish and trash grade LNB they give you when you get your "free install" can barely pull a good signal through a cloud.
From what I have seen.. the "decrease" in windows installs is because of data center consolidation and closing of offices that had a BDC. Yes more companies are looking at linux solutions for the back office, But it's not the picture they paint.
Windows is losing simply because of scaling. All companies are scaling back and if they reduce the number of servers at satellite locations, those are expensive licenses they will not have to pay.
Granted, I personally think it's retarded as hell to shrink your network like that and remove BDC's.. I experienced that at AT&T in the early 2000's we removed BDC's from offices that had less than 1000 employees. office downtime went up because when T1's to the nearest divisional office went down, productivity at that office usually took a crap. a small BDC is cheap and can serve as the office print server as well as file storage. but no, all that moves from local to at the end of a T1 or a T3 and now everything is slow as hell. Every try to support 10 users on citrix over a T1? It's painful for everyone involved.
No you cant have a BMW 728i anymore you have to drive a Honda Civic instead..
But having a 2600 sq ft home that is in a nice neighborhood for $75,000.00 electricity that is 0.07 per Kwh and bread costs $0.99 a loaf with milk at $1.98 a gallon...
Thats MASSIVELY cheaper than living in anywhere california or new york.
Around here a 6 figure income means you are the rich guy. $80,000.00 here let's you live like a guy making $180,000.00 does in Silicon valley or San Fran..
ipcop firewall with a red green and blue interface. run them on the blue interface and run dans guardian on it as well as limit the bandwidth and ports allowed.
20 minutes work. and less than $60.00 if you find a Nokia IP130 firewall used.
Dude, only rank amateurs would do they from in front of your house. I have a $29.95 antenna I bought that I can use your WiFi from 5 blocks away. You wont see them, you will not be able to detect them. Heck this thing was able to pull Wifi through trees and houses from a block away.
If you think they need to be near your house, then you know absolutely nothing about networking.
3d over internet delivery will take 2X the bitrate or you need to degrade the resolution. I dont see that happening in backwater internet countries like the USA any time soon...
(yes we are backwater, we do not have 100Mb/100Mb to our homes.)
upgrade to a bluray reader drive in your PC. and rip those blurays to 720p or 1080p m4v's and SHOCKER they look as good as the bluray but at 1/4 the space and none of the crap.

Yes.
Why has everyone IGNORED the glaring fact in the room.
None of this crap was going on with any strength until sony became idiots and shut down the OtherOS function.
It's their fault. They caused it, and they will lose.
And do not run flash.
I find sandboxie does a fantastic job of killing the evercookie every single time. Are CS professors lacking in education lately?
If your browser runs in a sandbox that is destroyed when you exit the browser, the evercookie cant live... No way no how.

your options are to contact the FCC and state to see the laws you have in your area concerning the right to receive TV.
Your Local Historic district gestapo cant do crap to keep you from putting up a satellite TV dish.
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html
verify your rights and then have one installed and tell the historic commission to stuff it in their rectum.

His fault if 10 years of important information is not backed up.
Honestly, why cant people, even highly educated people can not understand the basic important thing of BACKING UP WHAT IS IMPORTANT.
Plus, how does he have such a tiny amount of important info that it all fits on a usb stick? Just my last year of research takes up a 40 gig DLT tape.
So run the UT I II and III games native in linux. you can still download the binaries.
Exactly. Plus it's PCWorld article... not even worth using as toilet paper. PCWorld has been irrelevant in ANYTHING PC related for a decade now.
My wife uses Linux daily for work and school. It's as capable as windows is in every single way, she is an accountant and manages the laptop herself.
He is ignoring the cost of CAL's. I'm betting his entire shop is out of compliance on CAL's

my favorite is war faxing...
dial a fax number and have two pieces of black paper ready, tape them together and start it feeding, then tape it into a loop.
When the offending company comes to the office they will be out of fax paper and toner.
for bonus points, program their head office's main fax number into your fax machine as the reporting number...
But we need more people AFRAID.. the world is better with rampant fear....
LOOK OUT! ther's terrorists hiding in the bushes behind you!

spray or rub the wires with capcasian.. works great.
Honestly why dont car wires made from eco-garbage like soy have this already embedded in it?
fun part is none of those are real 3d titles but "simulated 3d"
Which blows my mind as the CGI stuff can easily be re-renderd in real 3d. 10 minutes to write up that camera script.
REally.....
Apple completely shuns bluray.
3d over internet delivery will take 2X the bitrate or you need to degrade the resolution. I dont see that happening in backwater internet countries like the USA any time soon...
(yes we are backwater, we do not have 100Mb/100Mb to our homes.)
handbrake will rip blurays the same way as well.
upgrade to a bluray reader drive in your PC. and rip those blurays to 720p or 1080p m4v's and SHOCKER they look as good as the bluray but at 1/4 the space and none of the crap.
Imac upgrade the video card.... Stop.. you cant.
you need a good video card for 3d Composting... imacs dont come with good video cards.
