+1, especially since you have to wear the stupid glasses anyways, why not just pair 2 normal cams (ooh challenging), and have your main product being special glasses with a screen in each 'lens', then the glasses have a focus setting, which sends back to the webcams to change their focal point. Or get a little more complex and have the glasses monitor the viewers eyes, and interpret the desired focal distance and angle by that, then you could actually "look around" as if you were there, (having the ability disabled on the webcams side incase you don't want people looking around the room)
Also, stuff like Photoshop, will insert a bunch of meta/exif-bullshit but something like Paint, doesn't... it's usually only about 2 to 3kb, but it's still tainting your results if you are going by size alone.
I'll believe it, cause its the same for a lot of VM's, because hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del in the VM, is often sent to the host PC instead. SO you can either change the keystroke to Shift+Alt+Del or something, or... use the button.
That's your own interpretation of the sentence. Others, like myself, read it more like They aren't trying to do that stupid shit.
And I presume that the promotion of Zune, might be something like a free (popular/crappy/whocares) song a week if you have your Zune registered ("Free exclusive only for Zune owners"), or maybe a points system, for each X song you purchase for your Zune, you get X points towards a free song, or higher quality versions, etc.
Below is a table of some of the most common SSTV modes and their differences.
Not all known modes to have ever existed, earlier on in the wiki it says:
Vostok 2 and thereafter used an improved 400-line television system referred to as Topaz.
Which was in 1961 and after, and then related to this article:
The SSTV system used in NASA's early Apollo missions transferred ten frames per second with a resolution of 320 frame lines using less bandwidth than a normal TV transmission.
Just because it's a table, doesn't mean it includes all data, and just because it's in a table, doesn't mean the information is correct.
Although I'm not really doubting your FPS stats (and I actually quite like Win7, and generally despise Vista), I think a large portion of people touting Win7 is "way better than Vista" is because their Vista installation has been there for 2 years and has a bunch of stuff installed in it, their Win7 was probably cleanly installed a month ago after the latest Beta/RC.
I know I'm probably rare, but I have yet to have one die that I actually purchased, I have thrown out 2 that likely would have, but not because they were failing, simply because by 2002 I had no use for a 600MB and 1GB drive, I've got a 1.6GB Western Digital from 1996, that still runs fine, although I only use it rarely as a sort of exaggerated floppy between PC's with no NIC. One 60GB (Maxtor, 2001), and two 80 GB's (Maxtor, 2002) still running fine in their respective boxes (an HP, and a Compaq), and two 120GB (Seagate) from 2003 still running fine on my primary computer, along with a 320GB (Seagate, SATA) in 2007, and another in 2008.
However, I have had 3 die that I got from adopting other peoples PC's, one being some no-name 2GB, a 40GB Quantum, and a Fujitsu/Samsung or something 30GB laptop drive. So maybe just sticking with the Seagate/Maxtor lineage has served me well.
I think they have been going for "funny", as in First Power-On Self Test.
But I agree with your "wtf is the point?", I can understand an older Amiga/Pentium system, 50/75/100MHz etc, they can actually do something, play media, file storage, work as an advanced router, etc or be "fun" enough for a kids (like 5-8 year old) PC.

If you just meant like "how do your eyes handle it", some people's eye can just handle it. I'd run my 17" CRT at 1600x1200, if it didn't force me to drop the refresh rate to 60Hz, I wouldn't go any higher than that though, also depends on your monitor dot-pitch, etc.
KDS K-726MWB 17" WIDE SCREEN LCD The K-726mwb 17 â LCD display is capable of 1400 x 1050 resolution. The unit is capable receiving content from your PC via a VGA connection. The K-726mwb is housed in a stylish black case with integrated speakers and internal power supply. Key features include 500:1 contrast ratio, 8ms response time (4ms grey to grey), 250 cd/m brightness, PC and MAC compatible, and is wall mountable.
True, but that wasn't really my point, for argumentative purposes, most P2P, Instant Messengers, Media Players, File Archivers, or pretty much any MDI application, or applications that do a background task while still doing the foreground task, will also use as many as it finds necessary. Any application with more than 1 thread, can use more than one processor unless specifically told otherwise.
No commercial program on earth takes advantage of more than two cores...
What? Yes, even some of the "high-end drafting" programs do, every single 3D Modeling and/or Drafting application I have, can use 1, 2, or 4 (and likely upwards, but the highest core/CPU PC I have is 4) as they see fit.
Operating Systems are a "commercial program", and most of them can handle 8, 16, 32 or more processors.
If you have information as to otherwise, I'd be highly interested.
This isn't really about CPU/Core counts, having tabs/plug-ins running in a separate process is useful because if that page/plug-in crashes that process, the remaining pages won't be effected. I highly doubt they will be dabbling with being able to set which processor a certain process runs on (just yet).
This won't really make use of extra processors/cores, that's what threads (should) already do, even if the application doesn't have any special code to do so.
In June 2005, a team of experts from the UK, Europe, Egypt, Russia and USA undertook a joint project to produce a new digital edition of the manuscript (involving all four holding libraries), and a series of other studies was announced.

Tried finding it, didn't. Did find this but that's only a few days shy of a year ago.
But the wiki mentions:

Doubly Affirmative.
