  1. HD Transfers on Internet Movies Before DVD · · Score: 1

    Though it doesn't seem likely, I could get interested in this if they offered 720p and 1080p transfers. Simple 480i source rips, not so much.

  2. I hear... on India Debating Manned Space Flight · · Score: 0

    ...that the Aloo Gobi food pouch tastes excellent!

  3. Computers and Cars on Hard Drive Capacity Confusion, Lucidly Explained · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This issue reminds me of a practice used in another industry. The auto industry commonly reports horsepower and torque for their cars as measured at the engine's crank/flywheel vs at the wheels. While the measurements themselves are an accurate reflection of an engine's general performance alone you typically do not just buy an engine, you buy a system which is the car. When the engine's performance in measured within the context of the car--meaning at the wheels--then the truth is revealed. That revelation shows, on average, a loss of 10-20% when power is measured at the wheels vs the crank. Which spec do you think a manufacturer is going to release?

  4. Re:He's not Dumbya, and he's not dumb. on Government Information Awareness · · Score: 1

    Sequences of speech sounds that are unusual in a language tend to be lost in that language. Do you pronounce February with, or without, an r?

    If you had asked (or should I say "axed"?), "Do you pronounce February as 'Ferubary'?", instead of simply silencing the 'r' you might have hit closer to the pronunciation meltdown that is "new-cue-ler".

  5. Discs of Tron on Midway Arcade Treasures Announced · · Score: 1

    This is an excellent collection, but I wish Midway would/could include "Tron" and/or "Discs of Tron".

  6. Re:GREAT. on Formula One Racing Games Exclusive To PS2 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's getting pretty bad when "dot racing" at at other sports events or soft drink racing at the movie theater is more suspenseful and exciting than an F1 Gran Prix.

  7. Re:I heard that 3DR will be renaming DNF... on Duke Nukem Not Out In 2003, Manhunt, GTA, More.. · · Score: 2, Funny

    Funny, in the racing world "DNF" means "Did Not Finish". Hmmm....

  8. Re:Waiting for the 99% digital system on New Loudspeaker Eliminates Distortive Influence · · Score: 1

    Actually, full digital domain stereo and surround has existed for a while and Meridian is the company that's been doing it.

  9. Re:irony: on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 1

    For some reason, after seeing the movie last night, I can only read your comment in Gollem's voice.

  10. Look Into MS2's Accelerate on Version Control for Documentation? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest taking a look into MS2's Accelerate product life cycle and document management system. I have been involved in it's implementation and support at our corporation for nearly 2 years and during that time it has grown into a very mature solution that may fit the bill for many companies. For info go to www.ms2.com.
