You could see the pixelization on an ordinary sized screen with digital projection.
But anyway, you're assuming that the 2000x1000 is the highest resolution version of the film available. It's probably not. There is probably a "master" version that is a higher resolution. Although aparrantly they made the film version from the digital version in order that the digital version would look better than the film one.
Even better, they should come up with the new system, find its weaknesses, and patent all the mechanisms they can think of for attacking the weaknesses. That way, they would be able to knock down the modchip makers based on patent infringement rather than the DMCA, which might be overturned or ruled unconstitutional. Not to mention that the DMCA is a U.S. law, but patent protection is shared by much of the world.

Wow. You can't even write a "hello world" program. That's truely pathetic.
White always goes first. I didn't know it was determined whether this was an advantage or disadvantage. Most players probably have some opinion or another about it.
In go, black always goes first. Because of this, several points (I think it is 5) are given to white in the beginning of the game.
Re:'optimal' play from both players?

Does it mean that a player with sub-optimal tactics is bound to lose?
Yes. If you're playing against an optimal player, the best you can hope for is to draw. If you draw, then you've played optimally.
Basically, I'm wondering if for any state the game is in, optmial play from that point on will yield a draw... or if the draw only applies if both players have been playing 'optmially' from the beginning.
There may be some states from which it is impossible to draw. That depends on the game. But if you were playing optimally, you would never enter that game state.
2) "Really? I'll tell you what Ogg is if you explain to me why I was supposed to get all excited about Jessica Simpson."
You're supposed to want to bone her, if only to make her stop singing. Instead of singing, imagine her moaning during your boning of her. Use your imagination.
Anyway, no need to explain Ogg to me, I already understand it.
This is simply not true. The Ghost in the Shell (Koukaku Kidoutai) manga was written in Japanese, then translated into English, with some pages deleted which contained some virtual reality lesbian sex. The English version of the manga probably DID come out before the Japanese version of the movie, but the Japanese version of the movie came out before the English version. In the United States, the English verison of the movie was released to theatres. The VHS home video release may have been English-only. I don't remember. I'm pretty sure the English laserdisc version had the Japanese language track, though. Most people didn't get to see the subtitled version until the DVD release. Of course, this is all very ironic, since the movie takes place mostly in Hong Kong.
You may be thinking of the recent "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust". That film was originally written for and dubbed in English. The Japanese release was the English dub with Japanese subtitles. There were plans to do a Japanese dub, but I don't know if that ever happened or not. It isn't really important either way.

No. Not really. Those are the lyrics to the Devo song, "Space Junk".
It's called the new "Microsoft Works Suite 2002", and is an upgraded version of Works 6.0, now including the full version of Word 2002.
It is quite a good deal too at $109, compared to $339 for Word 2002 by itself. Of course, there may be some restrictions on the usage of the Works Suite version of Word 2002. Works Suite 2002 seems to be marketed towards home users. Perhaps there is a "no commercial use" clause in the EULA.

What can we really use them for besides burning music?
Let's see... You can make Playstation discs, Sega Dreamcast discs (also SegaCD and Sega Saturn), Video CD's, Super VCD's, DivX versions of movies, ROM CD's for emulators, pr0n, CD-R's full of MP3's for the MP3-CD players. There are lots of uses for CD-R besides making ordinary music CD's.
Ask them when they would implement a balanced binary tree as part of a solution to a problem. The correct answer is "never". You would never want to implement one, since it is so much of a pain in the ass and is so prone to error. In the real world, when you want a balanced binary tree you use someone else's implementation (e.g., STL). Any programmer who would implement one himself is likely to waste too much of your time and money.
I wonder to what degree this article is an actual documentation of a dispute. According to the article, Starbucks didn't even know there was a conflict.

Hey man, slide rules helped end WWII. Bombadiers used slide rules to calculate when to drop a M pound bomb from a plane moving at V mph at an altitude Y to hit a target at some distance D in front of the plane. Those aren't simple slide rules, they're often two or three dimensional things custom made for certain types of bombs or aircraft or whatever. Anyway, back when computers took up the entire wing of a building, they didn't have automatic targetting computers in warplanes.
Anyway, ordinary slide rules were commonly used by engineers up until pocket calculators became available (which I guess would be the 1960's or so...). It is the only way to quickly multiply large numbers by hand (unless you're Rainman and can do it in your head).
In case you don't know, logarithms are rather simple.
Say you want to find A*B, where A and B are rather large numbers and you don't want to multiply them by hand. log(A*B) = log(A) + log(B), a useful property. So find log(A) and log(B) using your slide rule. Add them. Then do the inverse log. That's A*B. Multiplying by using addition and tables of logarithms. Fun stuff, huh?
And yes, it works with any "base" for the logarithm, base e (the "natural" log), base 2, base 10, whatever.
WAV doesn't make sense, but FLAC does. FLAC is a lossless audio encoder which typically achieves 2:1 compression on ordinary music files (such as WAV's ripped from CD's). That is roughly 50% more than 320kbps MP3. For the audiophiles, it is an attractive option.
Phatnoise makes a car MP3 player that plays FLAC files. Of course, the words "car" and "audiophile" usually don't go together, unless we're talking about rich dudes who ride around in limousines, drinking champagne, listening to Beethoven, and ruling the world using a cell phone.
I personally own at least 200 CD's (meaning actual plastic discs) plus gigabytes and gigabytes of downloaded stuff. So 20GB would probably be fine, since I have plenty of stuff that I never want to listen to again. 60GB would leave more "room to grow", however.
I'm surprised they didn't just fire all the programmers, to save the maximum amount of cash.
The programmers were the ones who replaced you with a very small shell script. Maybe someday they will find someone who can replace the programmers with very small shell scripts. Then they'll fire the programmers.
Joe Sixpack doesn't buy computers. He only buys six packs of beer and drinks all of them in the back of somebody's pickup truck parked outside a sports arena. He is kind of a useless, irrelevant person.
General Public, on the other hand, is the guy who buys computers and tanks and ICBM's and rocket powered grenade launchers. The general knows how to kick ass and take names. I don't know why he would care about a $199 PC, unless it had hard-core encryption software or could be used to control space lasers on sattelites orbiting around the earth.
