Good...it's doing its job. That's exactly what this is meant to do. M$ has held an unfair monopoly over the industry for years, and this is meant to give other companies the chance to strip some of their power away.
As a monopoly, everything that comprises Windoze and Office are the result of ill-gotten gains and should be plundered like M$ has done to others in the past.
If it is sucessful, this could be what brings the tech industry out of its current slump...
eggs in one basket. This is why the government has traditionally tried to keep from using 1 specific company for all of their materials in one area. Imagine if the problem were made even worse and M$ decided to use thier market dominance to enforce a political policy. We would then no longer have a government being run by our elected officials, but a government being controlled by one company (in this case M$).
To make a much simpler comparison, imagine that the military purchased all of their bullets from a company somewhere in the middle-east...
Now some would say that our government is already controlled by the corporations, but I refuse to belive that.
And how common do you think that view is? Most people still don't mind renting movies on VHS.
Because most ppl are watching their rentals on a 27inch TV...not what I'ld call movie buffs...
So if you don't like DVD's that's fine by me, but you made it sound like DVD->DivX conversion isn't acceptable by any standard.
Did I say that I don't like DVDs? No, it's still the best consumer format currently supported by the movie studios.
The point is, you are converting a 9GB or larger video that is compressed using MPEG2 (lossy) and you are shrinking it to a fraction of the origonal size (700 MB in one case)
There are ALWAYS trade offs when compressing data using lossy compression.
The point I was making is that you are using 2 lossy compression methods in this case, and what will result is a video that shows the worse of the 2 combined. Detail will be lost to some degree, halos that were not a problem before will now be noticable, certain objects and textures will become blocky, etc...
Haha...that does not strengthen your argument at all.
My equipment isn't touched by rental media...talk about asking for trouble...
And let me see...you have DVD for what reason? Action films are specifically bad about artifacts and the only way the studios get the DeeVeeDee to look decent is by throwing their best ppl at it...even then, some films can't be fixed even with the most expensive equipment.
VP3 uses built-in smoothing to fix blocks...this makes the video very fuzzy. The VP3 codec doesn't even come close to the quality of XviD (already as well available)...
But, there is still the problem that all of the current codecs have major quality problems when compared to DVD. The reason why DVD is so "clean" in the first place is because of the extremely high datarate...
DVD is already encoded using MPEG2 compression. And anyone who has ever converted one lossy format to the other knows that the quality ends up being extremely poor (you get the worse of both formats). The other thing is, even at low quality, a 2 hour movie is going to take up at least 1/2GB...and when you're done, you only have a copy that is much worse than the origonal.
Spend you money on a good hardware MPEG Decoder that works under linux. And as for a choice in format, OGG Tarkin will probably be the way to go in the future (once the format is defined).
Actually the gif image I was talking about was this one.
The only image I found on the colorlab site doesn't have codes that can be copied and pasted (it goes directly to the purchase page).
Something like this would be easier to use in that case.
I'm not saying someone couldn't find your posters useful, just that (given the options) I don't see why anyone would choose a paper product over a digital solution.
The only reason I see to have a poster is to decorate a workspace...or possibly (very limited) to use in a board room where design decisions were being made.
They have, it's out there...check the search I suggested in a reply to the parent. Just don't use quotes...I think it's on the first 3 pages returned:)
This is even viewable in your browser so you can see how it'll look in Mozilla/IE/Konq...
BTW, do what I did and find the page that has a list of all of the colors and their names and use an array to list the name of the color too:) So you can say "I like the Fuschia background":)
And in this case, it is simply much easier to look up the color you want and just do a Copy and Paste...
The other thing I don't quite get with this is that it if you use a web page with the "safe color" palette to find colors, wouldn't that be a more accurate interpretation of the end result (monitor instead of a poster)?
I know some ppl claim they are helpful...however, I personally think they are just an excuse for a decoration.
By all means, if you want a poster to hang on your wall, go for it...as for me, I'm gonna save the $$$ and use a web page...
I'm not saying the concept isn't interesting, but I don't think the concept works in the long-run.
I personally like the idea that I have all of my information on 2 or 3 different physical devices. It makes crashes and hardware failures less catastophic...(if I drop my palm pilot, I don't lose all of my financial information)
Which brings me to another point, some things I keep on my desktop I don't want/need on a Handheld.
As for the idea of the 4inch screen, I have to belive that they are limited to current consumer grade LCD technology which limits a 4 inch screen to no larger than ~400x400 which, for this OS would be awkward at best...
Anyone who has tried to use a 640x480 screen resolution recently knows the pain involved in using any resolution under 800x600 (and in some cases 1024x768).
I don't think that this is a very modular design...and for most ppl, that is a big benefit of having a desktop... Now, looking at the thickness of the unit, I'ld also have to belive that the notebook dock would be thicker than most notebooks. Which brings me to an interesting point...Even though it's supposed to be light, the thing looks damned thick for a handheld.
Notebooks did this for a while, but they all kinda died...there are some residual things like port replicators that came out of it, but the idea of a notebook that docks to form a complete desktop kinda died. One reason is that the combined cost was more expensive than buying 2 seperate units and the fact that notebooks kind of matured into the equivalent of a desktop.
This looks kewl and all, but why are ppl trying to get PC functionality from a Handheld device...Handhelds are good at things like keeping appointments, names, reading short E-Mails, Reading E-Books, Math, and generally doing simple tasks...
And why XP? There are no real handheld apps built for it.
Some ppl in the handheld industry are trying too much...
Granted, Bluetooth will be a nice feature once it becomes standard...but that's not what they've done here...
Lets see...I can buy a decent Palm for Real Notebook for less than $1000 total. Now, you might argue that the notebook is cumbersome...this might be so, but then you get a 13 inch screen as opposed to a 4 inch screen...
Handhelds are a tool, they are not a replacement for a Notebook/Desktop...those solutions work very nicely for their intended purpose.

Maybe, but what keeps them from making the plugin available for Mozilla? And I figure this is gonna be one of those things where it gets installed with another plugin (like GAIN/Gator or BonzaiBuddy)...
Imagine if this plugin was added to something like Macromedia Flash...
I figure what this might cause is for some group to create their own version of Mozilla without the possibility for this software to be installed (just disable plugins in the source)...
The smarter groups bounce stuff around to different countries anyhow...it's not easy to get someone with an address in a developing or poorly policed country...
I think the only ones they will be able to catch with this are the dumb ones and the ones that are truly selling the stuff...
But you are comparing games that rely on plot versus games that have virtually no plot.
It happens all of the time (and to better concepts)...how many clones of breakout have been made...and who hasn't heard something to the extent of "it's just breakout"...
I have also seen a great many games for the XBox that are simply ports of games for other platforms...as a matter of fact you mentioned it yourself that Project Gotham is just MSR...
Not that porting a game to another system is a bad thing (it's not), but when a system relys on nothing but ports from other systems and games from companies that have been bought out, there's not much to be said...if you like the ports, buy the system they origonate on, and not even M$ can keep buying out any company with an origonal idea for a game.
I mean, if the XBox had a real developer that came out with a truly origional concept, then it might start gaining speed...but that kind of development only seems to be happening on the PS2 and somewhat for the GameCube.
Personally, I have seen way too many First Person Shooters that have nothing but a thin plot line and a novelty feature to define it from the rest of the crowd. And I think this is what leaves so many ppl wanting more than just another FPS.
You say that these 2 are sequels, and while I would agree that the rest of them are sequels, these 2 do not belong in the sequel category.
For one thing, GTA3 has went into a whole new direction...GTA2 was top-down 2D. and GTA3 is fully 3D...and I won't go into the rest of the new features added to GTA3... So, needless to say, if GTA3 is a sequel to GTA2 then Mario 64 was a sequel to the origonal Mario Bros...
And anyone who knows anything about the Final Fantasy series knows, that just doesn't belong. In the Final Fantasy series there are no re-occuring characters or plot lines and the story line definately leaves the characters changed at the end of the story (almost every one of them has at least one major character that dies)... Anyhow, FFX just doesn't belong here.
Lets see...as for the rest, while I would agree that these are indeed sequels, these could really just be called ports...
And I own MSR for the DC, and yes, it was a very good game the first time around:)
The truth is, that at one point everyone did an FPS...they still seem to dominate a large part of the PeeCee market...and I think gamers just want to see something new...
No, I think I know what you're saying, but I think the point is that it's possible that this method could be flawed.
Now, assuming that I could see this (I can't)...I see the gas station and then an open field...
It is certainly possible for the guy to have driven into town for the night...driven ~1/2 mile into town and then driven back to the gas station.
It's possible, but what I think is more likely is that there's a bug in the flash code used on the site and the poster was seeing the same exact image twice...
Just a guess, but I think it's valid to think that this guy actually stopped!!!:)
Umh, I don't dee hat you're talking about, but if you see the gas station twice, maybe he went there in the afternoon and stayed in a hotel room close to that station and then came back there in the morning to get gas?
You notice that all of the shots are during the daylight hours...the photos wouldn't have turned out too well otherwise:)
I'ld be fine in just having them give more "realistic" job descriptions.
Don't ask me to count how many job descriptions I've seen for a sysadmin that make it look like you have to be a kernel hacker:)
HR departments just use buzz words for IT jobs and it's obvious they don't know what they are talking about.
It makes it exteremly dificult to gauge what is really wanted when the person doing the initial contact can't explain why they list C++ and TCP/IP and HTTP for a Sys Admin job....but they can't outright tell you it's a Sys Admin job because they don't know!!! Many of the job descriptions I see want someone who can write the software they are using.
First...there's a grand total of 1 link to this site on the entire web...that in itself is actually a rarity...
And it's from a site owned by the same company for Digital's Tru64 UNIX...
And M$ has put themselves into this positon. They are the ones slamming the UNIX community...I see nothing on this site that says "M$ Sux".
The fact that a M$ ran site has BSD/Linux on it is not news. The fact that the site is aimed at destroying the very platform that they are using is the issue.
That having been said, it looks the main page hasn't been updated since February 05, 1999!!! I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say someone's probably domain squatting...
The broadcasts you mention can be found here, but what you failed mention is that ever since Castro was put into power in Cuba, he has been transmitting Cuban radio on our frequencies, so anyone far enough south has to use the transmissions from Canada...:)
I'm not sure which theaters you're talking about, but all of the ones I've been to have phones incase of emergency or simply to do business. How are advertisers, employees, corporate, etc going to get in touch with the theater...then again, if it's that important, have the parametics come and pick you up...it's been done before...
But I would guess that the kind of movie theater that would not have a phone would be the same kind that wouldn't have cell jamming equipment...
Then again if they're that cheap, they're probably a discount/second-run movie theater, and knowing a few doctors myself...they wouldn't be caught dead in a second-run theater...
Actually, I don't know of a theater that doesn't have at least 2 phone lines. All of the theaters I know of have the standard line (listed in the phone book) and an unlisted line...
The reason...they have to have a manager, and the manager or an assistant is always on site...they need a line for emergencies and incase a corporate office or a distributor needs to get in touch. And trust me, if they are going to install cell phone jamming equipment, they will have a phone line where you can get a real person.
And don't tell me they don't need a line for emergencies...incomming or outgoing...even automatic fire alarms need a phone line to connect to...
Hehe... well, it looks like you've reported more bugs than I have... of course, I just have a tendency to live with bugs and wait for someone else to report em... BTW, kewl bookmarklets:)
I realize that...but there's a reason why that 2 weeks is there...while there is no ideal release date set for 1.0, it's my guess that it's because the roadmap is a publicly viewable document and they don't want ppl saying "where's 1.0"...
Internally, it's a different story...there's no reason to indicate that anything would change internally (besides feature checkins getting harder to include in 1.0 releases). And previous releases have occured ~2 weeks following the freeze...
So, yes...it's safe to say that based on previous release schedules there is an aim to get it out within 2 weeks of the freeze date...
I don't know how much you know about the project beforehand, so I don't know how much of this makes since to you...
And the 4 weeks is not on the site...it's only my guess from what I see Here and what has been there in the past following a freeze...and realizing that it's not as likely for them to push a bug fix to another milestone:)
