actually.. they had to TONE DOWN the graphics/quality of rendering in toy story 2 because it would look too different than toy story 1. As I recall this was especially important to Woody and the textures of his clothes for example...
So.. uhm... i agree toy story and toy story 2 are decent conceptual comparisons... I don't think it's fair as a pixel by pixel, texture to texture, comparison...
*shruG* sorry nitpicking... it happens sometimes...
"... of the same marketing problems that killed OS/2. OS/2 Warp 3 and 4, for their times, "
They actually had a ton of marketting for OS/2 Warp... There were all sorts of "mainstream" ads with Pat Reilly, and other celebs, pontificating on how efficient OS/2 Warp made them...
*Shrug* They market-ed it as running windows/dos games/apps better than windows... which really wasn't 100% for a joe user.
ignoring the fact that we are talking about australia an a totally different market... starting a dialup based ISP now is like starting a pay for BBS at the start of the "information superhighway" (yech, what a miserable piece of jargon)
*Shrug*
Sorry can't be more helpful than that, I just wanted to hear myself type... there were some much better posts by seemingly knowledgeable people, read those instead =P
actually, you can... AT&T broadband/cable does have digital phone options... although it's not the same "cable" persay... you could have AT&T @home and all yer base would belong again to Ma Bell... =P
Me, I'm stuck in a DSL contract (wich isn't a problem) but the local telco can't seem to get my line clear... *shrug*

You can predict work performance based on personality type... You can be excellent, yet dullard, IT worker without constantly dabbling in IT toys... Although I think geeks who "play" are more technologically well rounded, and can potentially have more diverse experiences to "draw" from when problem solving...
Although an overly exuberant geek can spend more time being distracted discussing "making beowolfs of this or that" or there favorite Natalie Portman film/scene/timestamp =P
Or maybe they are just too busy shift-refreshing/. to find the latest story to post to.

Stewie told the execs, "you'll rue the day you canceled my show..."

This sounds suspiciously like the technology that made those cheezy "holograms" that came in Cracker Jack boxes.
You know. the one with the plastic ridges which would "animate" when you looked at it at different angles, n' stuff...
=P

Cool... a game console that plays mp3s, records tv digitally, et al...
Now if it only would allow me to plug in my CueCat it would be perfect!
E.
Why would someone want to implement that?
Isn't it okay for people to randomly change business specs on the fly during a project so that there is a near zero chance of success? =P
Plus I like to dig through 30 different docs with different names modified by different people with insanely long filenames.
Gotta go someone just changed the spec without telling anyone again...
Long live document anarchy!

That's not a fix... because it would just be a US subisdary of a global/foreign country... still bound to the laws of the US.
