All my radio engineers who had their EAS point of origin change with little announcement say yeeeeah.
But seriously, this whole EAS "upgrade" thing has been nothing but a thorn in my side for the last couple weeks. Can't wait for it to be done with.
I'm sure that this is being solved on Microsoft's end, and will be remedied in good time.
I mean, I'm not a big Microsoft guy either, but if this were a circumstance where the hardware had a defect and caused the system to short or something, and Microsoft were going to fix it, you all couldn't care less. Why's a software bug like this so different?
My first idea as an audio guy would be to take some cues from the music industry in their control room designs. Sure, maybe you don't need a client couch for hanging out, but you should be able get everywhere you want in the room by rolling chair (minus if you have to dive behind screens/machines to get things fixed, but even that should be accessible), favor more, smaller, warmer lights over florescent (on dimmers, if you really want them to be as comfortable as they want).
The difference between a marketing department and a PR department is the quality of the work they do.
A PR firm gets more press for free than a marketing firm gets for pay.
It's important to know the difference, this isn't marketing, it's public relations.
This is more trying to make a buzzword. I'm sad to hear it, but it looks like OSS might go the way of the valliant letters that preceeded it: E, i, HD, WEB, and the numbers 2000 and 2.0.
I'd say this is kind of a point. I don't think you should be taking something out of beta before you have reached all of your core beginning announced goals, or announced that you're giving the bugger to it.
The point is, that they announced that it is supposed to be cross platform, that it kind of like leaving the tires off your car and calling it close enough.
You can't start out with too diverse video, your computer could pull a driver. Instead, start off gently, something like a screensaver, and move on to something a little more rigorous as it warms up.
It seems that they have developed some Advanced Tool that will handle Packaging I can't believe that nobody has ever come up with an idea for such an Advanced Packaging Tool.
I disagree, I think people are just questioning the utility of a blu-ray player. On one hand, it does look a little better, but in comparison, this is the least significant improvement in video quality since any change in media.
When you first got your DVD player, the reaction was probably "wow", because it removed the artifacts that come from using magnetic tape. There is no major problem with DVD is is solved under Blu-ray other than added storage.
Essentially, this is the market saying "we are not impressed", Blu-ray is not any more convenient, and there is only a marginal increase in video quality (that many televisions cannot even use).
It is a classic example of promoting a product that people want, not what they need.
Weâ(TM)ve done extensive testing with our new glasses and 3D Ready displays, and weâ(TM)ve found that experienced users can easily play a game for 4 hours or more without feeling eyestrain or disorientation.
The thing I don't understand is this...
If the BBC is publicly funded by the British people, why the hell are they charging for their content? Isn't that a bit absurd?
Same thing goes for PBS here in the States, though I've got slightly (very slightly) more ambivalence towards them because they receive such a minuscule amount from the government and they are always stretched on budget. But still, PBS shouldn't be charging for content...
Like most everywhere else, BBC and PBS already charge for physical copies of most, if not all of their series and shows, not only does it increase revenue for the organization, which is required for anything that broadcasts anything, but it also will work to cover server costs and rights for the product. You still pay for a copy of the original office, why wouldn't you pay for a radio session that the BBC had previously not released?
Try googling "The Thompson Twins Adventure Game". While it may be about as convenient as scooping your eyes out, a record can store information this size, and as long as you don't bend it, snap it, or scratch it to oblivion, it will be readable until the end of days.
There's something to this, Windows historically makes money by keeping a crippling stranglehold on the market, and if they can get people to think they're screwing them over by using their upgrade package, thus putting Vista into more people's hands, it is reasonable to expect that they won't mind less profit at this stage to try to exploit it later.

That's called blowing a fuse. People fix it all the time!

Though if you're using UEs on your iPod, you clearly have more money than sense.

I'll just hold out for Windows Cool Ranch.
How clueless can you be? This guy almost makes me feel good about the other news of the day (Microsoft to laying off 5,000).
I am sure they can push it to 5001 for this champ.
Personally, I plan on being dead in a time span that measures in decades, not billions of years.
Speak for yourself, humanoid.

And OJ Simpson's the one who just got convicted of armed robbery.

So, that's a no to using it to play WoW?

I shudder to think what would constitute a hand sign to get to the playboy channel.
I mean, on one hand it's interesting, but on the other hand, won't a good healthy helping of amphetamines do the same thing?
I can tell you for a fact that an unupdated XP machine can get a virus before I could download a copy of Avast, much less official updates.
