I've never bothered to test mplayer 'cause VLC will play almost anything I throw at it, but what I heard was that it's pretty fast, so that could be the reason why you don't have any stuttering problem.
P.S.: This video you're talking about is probably 'only' 800 px high because the movie is in 2.40:1 screen ratio.
No need to talk about nVidia this way. No, I hate them too, but that's not the point.
So yes, I thought it wouldn't be affected either, but I can't deny the facts: I have zero codec packs installed, and prior to installing Purevideo, any 1080p video -- they're avc1 by the way -- would have my CPU utilisation at 80%, plus stutters. After installing Purevideo, what I get is 50% CPU utilisation and no stutters at all.
Actually I do get stutters with some files, but that's because they're MKVs and that is valid for any HD file in that format, be it 720p or 1080p.
And yes, it is available in Linux, you will probably be able to watch h264 movies in your new EEEPC
Yay, 1080p movies on my seven inch screen! Plus I can even hook it up to my newly acquired 35:000 contrast ratio, 24p capable, 1080p fifty-two inch flat TV through a VGA connexion! HURRAY!
I think you meant h.264 -- you were probably thinking about RS-232 for the number.
And yes, VLC Linux does support h.264 playback, but 1080p videos are likely to display stuttering if not GPU-accelerated: I tested it on my machine, CPU is an Athlon X2 5600+ and GPU is a Geforce 8800GTS; anything up to 720p was fine, but 1080p was unwatchable prior to installing nVidia Purevideo.
P.S.: Seems 1080i is fine too if not GPU-accelerated.
Now that I think about it, I remember having seen some pieces of luggage with two combinations; this may reduce the odds of buying easily 'crackable' luggage.
You might be surprised; I was once messing with luggage combinations -- I was still a kid, by the way -- at some supermarket. Turned out one of them was '005.'
The problem with the ideals of the founding fathers was that there was always a 'but.'
Everybody could theoretically vote in those days, but some people would make sure you didn't understand some passage in the Bible if you happened to be a black person, even if you were clever and actually did understand.
Talking of the Bible, all men are considered equal before God. But somebody argued that the story of Ham -- who, because he saw his father naked http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0109.htm#20, was cursed to be "the servant of servants" -- implicitly meant that black people were to be slaves according to the Bible.
And the story goes on; right ideals, wrong enforcement thereof.
P.S.: After having read my post about twice, I gotta admit that some ideals weren't that right, such as the one that stated that a plot of land was yours after you had worked the soil hard to produce vegetables and whatnot.
Hum, sorry. I clicked the wrong button. Well... Funnily enough, you can watch someone having sex with their spouse in some countries (namely France) since voyeurism isn't punished by law there. Then again, if you have to break into people's houses to do so, you may be indictable for violation of private property.
The GP was referring to the first of the (now) latest series. I think the ellipsis he made is quite correct from a pragmatic point of view, since everytime I hear people talking about the very first PoP game, they refer to it as "the first PoP of the ooold series."
The GP post is right about the usual transfer. However what he forgot to mention is that the bandwidth is shared with all the PCI devices, which is very likely to be the reason why your ethernet card peaks at 20 MB/s.
As for the atom ITX motherboard, a Gb NIC could reach, or at least get close to the maximum transfer rate in my opinion, since there is only one PCI slot. The Realtek sound chip is probably a planar device (cabled in PCI), but I do not think it'll eat away that much bandwidth, especially if you restrain its use to 16 bit, 48 KHz sound quality.
Maybe the joke about them always surrendering comes from the armistice treaty they signed in 1940. Sure the resistance came to the fore after this but the country still bent over as a whole. You mean Petain signed the armistice and "bent over," as you said. He didn't ask the French people if they agreed with what he did.
Otherwise, I might as well state that all Americans are pro-war, and that they all wanted Afghanistan and Iraq to be bombarded.
including the graphic upgrade to the 8800GT (slightly better than the 2600Pro from Apple, but not a lot) I beg to differ: the 8800 GT has roughly four times more bandwidth than the 2600 Pro. Don't forget that, after all, the former uses a 256 bit memory interface.
Mod parent (further) up. That guy's totally right about Macs' design and how breakable HP laptops are.
I've used a couple of them, and every single time I did, there were broken keys. And if that wasn't enough, the machine, although not riddled with tonnes of programmes, would freeze, sometimes up to five minutes to load a CPS2 emulator when all I had open were a web browser and an IM client. That laptop's CPU was an Athlon 64 3500+, and my then current rig (which sported an Athlon XP 2600+) would load said emulator seamlessly.
Sprint, for one, isn't present worldwide -- at least not where I live, which is Reunion Island.
That said, my carrier (Orange) does offer unlimited SMS's to any Orange phone; plus unlimited calls to any Orange and landline phone on evenings, weekends and legal holidays. However, it'll cost you 30 euros a month -- 40 euros if you want to get unlimited data; but that's another story.
The thing is, although there are offers that optionally come with a number of free SMS's, you'll have to fork out about twelve cents for any SMS you send. Given that an SMS costs the carrier about two or three cents to transfer, I do see the squeeze.

Relax, I'm just poking fun.

Because to use your cell-phone for texting, you must look AWAY FROM THE ROAD and at a small screen to read texts.
Not necessarily; I can type text messages without looking at the screen. That said, it still does not make texting while driving less dangerous.
This is why you should take the 'u' off -- "reticle" -- so as to avoid ambiguity. ;)

I am equally baffled. Mod parent up and grandparent down please.

I think they called it "Le funnel" or something.
Look at how adding a the French definite article before a noun makes anything sound avant-guarde.
...probably a bit too much, since it never really caught on.

The term 'bandwidth' isn't a synonym of the expression 'frames per second.'
Anyway, I cast a glance at tomshardware's charts, and that 8800GT OC has double the amount of FPS compared to the 2600XT. At 1280x1024.
Try to run say, COD4 at 1600x1200 and up with AA and AF enabled, and you'll see that the 8800 GT beats the 2600 Pro hands down.

No, no, and no again. SP3 is meant to prepare XP users to an unstable environment.
I thought TFA was about Bill Clinton.
Software piracy's pretty big in France; I'm sure you could find other examples of companies using pirated software over there.
Axolotls do possess regenerating abilities as well.
