That's my assumption anyway.
Will it? Because Windows does pretty fantastic on an intel mac. IT does even better if you avoid using Apple's versions of drivers for everything... because frankly, their mouse drivers SUCK in windows, their graphics drivers SUCK in windows, but they've never been great at writing Windows software over at apple, so I'm not surprised... it's just completely Apple's fault that Windows runs so bad on a Mac.
Of course Windows 7 runs fine on my sub 1GHz circa 2002 laptop with integratred Intel video and 512MB of RAM... fairly sure 10.6 would run pretty badly on hardware that old...
That WOULD be the effect, if Microsoft were using ONLY this functionality for their search results.
But hey guess what, they aren't. They are using a compounded collection of all types of web searches (google, yahoo, amazon, wikipedia, and more) as ONE part of their algorhythm, and even for rare terms, the results aren't a copy/paste of Google, they are still different...
Rockbox doesn't support a single iPod currently sold by apple. It doesn't even support the last generations of iPod models. So most people can NOT install RockBox on their iPods.
Yup, you're definitely more the typical antisocial nerd than others on both Slashdot and Facebook - heck, I have 400 friends on facebook - no randoms at all.
Except that there is a difference between tags that link to an account, and tags that don't.
For instance, tags that don't link to an account aren't searchable, or indexed. They are attatched to the picture and that's it. Even if someone tags a non-account person in multiple pictures in the same album, these tags don't link together.
http://mashable.com/2010/12/09/youtube-upload-time-limit/ Since december. There is a limit at some point I'm sure, but I've already watched 45 minute TV shows that were uploaded in single parts, and they most certainly weren't Partner videos.
Yeah, the 24.5Mbit/s is for DTS-HD which uses 96 kHz/24bit resolution in up to 8 channels, using a form of lossless compression that also includes a fully backwards compatible DTS audio stream (though it can also be 192 KHz/24bit.)
Which some people see as overkill because it contains frequencies that the ear can't possibly hear... and there are various theories as to why more audio resolution may be necessary relating to the interaction between close frequencies, and other things like that.
Personally I'd like to see them move to a floating point audio standard like 32bit or 64bit - though I must admit most people's setup would do nothing with the extra dynamic range.
Speaking as someone who used to live in Toronto, given the results of the last set of mayoral elections, I'm pretty sure Toronto should be one of the most ashamed populations in North America outside of Peterborough.
You can get a blackberry without unlimited texting? That's crazy, I don't even have that option - and at the very least you'd surely get unlimited BBM...
And if not, I guess carriers like that might be the reason RIM isn't very focused on the US market these days...
Of course on BluRay, the audio alone can be 24.5 Mbit/s, and the overall audio/video stream can be 54Mbit/s. As there is no provider willing to sell me a pipe at any cost that can handle a consistant 54Mbit/s connection rate plus whatever network overhead would be needed to maintain that, I'll stick to my BluRay discs.
I really enjoyed Canada's coverage - although the television coverage was worse than usual (commercial networks seem pretty terrible at managing to show as much of everything as possible on ad-supported networks) - but the online coverage was amazing. Live streaming of EVERY event without commentary, and some commentary if it happened to be airing on TV because there was also live streaming of all the TV feeds. (not to mention the ability to rewind and access past events... not sure for how long, but a good while anyway)
Doesn't seem like that poor a decision though really, because they released many really successful games that sold quite well... considering Windows is such a large platform for gaming, well then, if DirectX is easier, then it doesn't hurt them, because the DirectX/Windows version can provide a nice stream of income to then port nothing more than the engine once the resources, level design, gameplay and everything have already been developed, and beyond which, proven successful and commercially viable, as well as generating demand for other versions. Seems, if anything, as if it paid off, and provided work for the engine guys for a longer period of time as a result... while the asset guys got to spend a bunch of time working on cool new games, keeping the entire corporate family employed...
Sadly, they are often the best choice in a balance between audio quality (pretty bad across the board), capacity (sadly, not many large portable devices available), and user interface (buttons vs. touch screen). - In other words, I may have two iPod Classics - but only because they're the best of the worst. And I have absolutely no faith that Apple will update either of them, because my Classic 6G still has problems playing back audio - problems that were fixed in the 6.5G firmwares - in software, not hardware. So yeah. Some of us have crappy devices that were pragmatically purchased and just happen to be iDevices.:)
In my network, posts still continue at a steady rate. People constantly use Facebook to organize events, post photos, talk about goings on, share links, have debates, etc. Barely anyone gets bored and stops, though some people will temporarily deactivate during exams. Nobody gets worried that their parents are on facebook, nobody "self censors", etc. Pretty much nobody cares that there are only limited "new people" to discover on facebook, it's become a convenient platform for that group of people. And this is like... 400 people... and judging by their walls, etc., their friends are similar. There's very little noise, and quite a lot of signal... so, I guess our two anecdotes cancel out, don't they...
I have no problems playing from my retail BD-ROM discs.
Sorry, but it still sounds like FUD to me.
In fact, right now I happen to, on my desktop, be watching Battlestar Galactica, from a Bluray disc, over a VGA cable, at 1080p, on a CRT monitor, in Windows 7. And it's working absolutely 100% fine.
I'm utterly confused what you're talking about. My laptop has ONLY a VGA out. I have a screen that is VGA. I can play blu-ray movies at 1080p on that monitor. No hacking required, just through the bog standard PowerDVD that shipped with the system.
I've had no video quality issues whatsoever over VGA in Vista or 7.
Please explain in detail to me a situation where I would be bemoaning the DRM in my OS, so that I can reproduce it...so far, there have been no problems...
Slashdot Mirror
Or maybe it's because originally when iTunes was released, there was no iTunes store, so you HAD to rip CDs for content?

i know this has been corrected before, but you are thinking of facemash, not thefacebook.

You look at your keyboard when you type? And depend on the glyphs your keyboard manufacturer uses to know what each key does? Wow....

To be fair, YouTube no longer has a length limitation...

But to support the video tag, the browser doesn't have to encode, just decode.

How will it hurt them?
