He said "Instead you have change the habits of the entire buying public."
He didn't say how to do it. Spend less time jumping to conclusions and more time thinking.
Or would you consider writing letters to the editor, to politicians, leafletting on the sidewalks, "control"? They aren't the same thing as forcing people to shop elsewhere.
You know how there's a certain amount of disdain for people who watch TV all day, or fill their evenings from 6-11pm with the nightly news and dramas? People who waste their lives away with MMOs get the same thing. Cut back on the gaming, and work to make real life more exciting and rewarding. I'm not talking about people who can play for two hours and then go do something else. I mean those who are substituting WoW or Second Life for real life.
When he gets to college he'll find the kids are more mature. If he's as great a person as you say you turned out to be, he'll win over girls anyway. They'll regard the video as just a silly thing that happened when he was a child.
In 2000, 3.5" DVD+RW players couldn't fit inside an Altoids tin, and still can't. MD players bascially could. The article is simply saying NetMD and Hi-MD could have been alive, mostly if Sony had removed the SonicStage DRM.
Of course a stock installation of Firefox can't do those. But my original point was that Tweak UI makes Windows more usable, just as extensions make FF more usable.
From TFA: As well as the four titles mentioned above, Microsoft will also be hoping to stimulate interest in the console with the imminent releases of Rumble Roses and Ninety-Nine Nights, both of which are due to arrive in the next month.
The relaunch is happening _after_ one of those games comes out.
All I'm seeing is the phrasing "relaunch." Is MS calling it a "launch"? Because they can relaunch the 360 over and over again, just like I can reheat a bowl of soup over and and over again. There is nothing misleading about a "relaunch", only if they call it a second "launch."
Yes, increase over xvid or divx. By definition re-compressing a DVD with divx is going to be lossy, but even at very high bitrates I've seen clear blocking that wasn't in the source, and yes I had post-processing turned on and up.
Well really the only reasons to bother with MPEG 2 would be using fewer computations to decode it, and a near-negligible increase in video quality. I'm fairly sure though that H.264 is designed to look just as good, but at a lower bitrate by being more computationally expensive.
That would be the role of observer. When I read a book I don't feel like I am that character, because I don't control him or her, what is said, what is thought. Asian RPGs are bascially the way.
Remember when highly qualified professionals were held inside the Soviet Union by an 'iron curtain?'
Non sequitur. I don't know of any gulags in the European countries with socialized health care, nor of professionals there being held and prevented from working in what they want to do. Do you?
Hey look, it's an anonymous abusive asshole. I'd thank you for the correction, but you're a jerk. I don't remember what my source was years ago, but I thought it was correct. By the way, there's lots of information on the net that says 4k is actually 4096x3112.
Can you clarify why most projectors aren't focused to better than 1k? They can't, or the projectionists don't care enough? On occasion I've been the one to leave a theater to tell the popcorn girl about a blury picture and she gets the manager who gets it fixed.
Any ideas on how they expect(ed) to own every part of it? Sony does make the cameras, but so does Panasonic, and TI and JVC make the projectors.
The agreement from last year actually allows for 2k at 48fps or 4k at 24fps. This annoys me because 2k isn't good enough for the largest theaters, and 24fps has been aggravating me for many, many years. Considering though that I enjoyed Star Wars Ep. 3 in digital at 1/4th the resolution of 2k, I'll happily deal. If action movies don't increase from 24fps though, I will skip them in theaters and wait for the (HD)DVD.
Then why is film scanned at 2K and now 4K for the AVID's and effects houses to work with? The 2K means 2000 horizontal lines, almost twice the 1080 you're claiming is superior.
Film holds more image data than 1080p, the projection is the problem. Watching a fourth generation print at the local multiplex may not look as good as digital projection. Until 1080p digital is projected in the largest theater, then people start noticing the sharp, square pixels.
For movies, VHS has the downside of interlacing, but doesn't it basically have 480 lines, the same as DVD? 240 lines for each field, two fields per frame.
To Daniel_Staal, you're wrong in that DVD stores 720 pixels horizontally, and VHS only does about 352. The image is clearer on a decent TV.
What car do you have with such good speakers that when driving you can tell the difference between CD quality and 256kbps VBR mp3? 99% of cars don't have that good fidelity. That's why DVD-A will never take off in cars. If you want hours of content, use mp3. If it's for audiobooks, you especially don't need CD+ quality.
Put your palms together in front of you, about where you'd hold a controller, fingers pointing away from you. Your wrists bend outward, or upward, relative to your forearms. Just like it's bad when typing to rest your wrists on the keyboard or desk because the wrists are bent, leading to RSI and before that, general discomfort. Gamepads should be designed with the same things in mind. The back of the hands ought to be close to parallel to the forearms when holding the pad.
Heh, I just wanted to correct the original poster for blowing the xbox 360 situation out of proportion and a bunch of people miss my point. Not really surprised though with/. having so many readers.
Some jackass modded me redundant, which I wasn't, so I'll post again with more info. From Sapphire's Press Release:
Air is extracted from the case by an integral transparent blue LED fan, passed through the radiator and vented out of the case at the rear mounting bracket.
As you can see from the other photos, one end of the cooler vents out of the case while the other end is closed.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't see your point. If the bike riders disapprove of him racing cars, why are his only options telling them, or finding other work?

So why didn't Target move in to the spot ten minutes from where you live before Walmart could get there?
TV/Computers games, the opium of the masses.

Safari, still needs extensions for usability.
iTunes: crippled by Apple's arrogance that power users should be limited to a newbie interface so nobody get's confused.
gotta run, but I can detail plenty of flaws in iTunes when I get back.
Everything on the list? Then I'm impressed.
Of course a stock installation of Firefox can't do those. But my original point was that Tweak UI makes Windows more usable, just as extensions make FF more usable.
?
BTW from personal experience, the only thing more bloated or as bloated as Firefox is iTunes.
Yes I could if I had really small paddles to restart it's heart after I strangled it.
You mean like how I need extensions to make Firefox usable? Should I start looking for a new browser?
BTW, what flavor is your anti-MS koolaid? Because you're on a fucking sugar rush from it.
