yea 1080P seems to be this magical unreachable number that we have been doing for years, or even decades in the workstation market (which this thing would stomp a powermac avid system) 1080 is magical, 1080 requires a fuckton of power, 1080 is impossible... except the crappy little set top boxes using pretty much the same thing for a high price at walmart...
hang around maybe models C and D will do just that, for now A and B seem perfectly reasonable. besides dump javabloat and a machine with 256 megs does decent around the web anyway... I do it every day
who said anything about sawing, punch a hole, use tin-snips, the only thing that gives commercial metal roofs strength is the girder system and the corrugation of the metal.
my point was you never really made a point, you explained what you meant now but in your op 2/3rds of your post was about how you were never going to buy brand X which is the exact opposite of normal fanboi reasoning
I have bought my share of shit from both, but at the end of the day what choice do I have when I want a top notch 3d video card?
and lol yea Intel and AMD have never burned people in their history...
A lot of other places just use sheet steel so thin you can poke through it with a pocket knife, I dont think some creative thief would have a problem carrying a couple hand tools in their pocket
"Failing that SparkFun is a company that caters quite well for hobby engineers"
no they are not, they are a company who preys on noobs selling a 25 cent chip on a breakout board instead of selling the dip version for 5 bucks, or a 40$ knock off iron for the price of a hakko.
There is no major nail in coffin situation for pc games any more as they are ports of software to run on 6+ year old, cheaply made game consoles, even if your system does suck, drop the resolution and effects a bit and your good to go.
My dual core AMD system with a 9600GT cost less than 200 bucks 3 years ago, and I can still run these games with just an occasional jitter at higher resolutions than the console (not much higher but still), but yet every game release there is some doofy benchmark telling us something that has not changed for over a half decade.
so did physical buttons when they were not the size of an atom with a 8 inch screen and your phone included a decent speaker, and service that did not echo
none of the phones in that PR stunt were flexible, sure the screens were bent but in rigid cases.. that is because while yes you can make OLED screens that are on a flexible substrate, they shit on themselves in a blink of an eye outside of the ivory tower.
Is fragile, eats power, and burns images into its matrix, lets get some shit plasic to bend twist and break along with this darn near go nowhere technology that has been around for quite a damn while now and has never got past the fad phase
Yea I dont really understand it either, unless a few of them had families to give them out to, but this is slashdot the closest thing to a family most have around here is a porn site and a bag of cheetos... its technology, it aint going to get more expensive with time
no, modern mixing techniques totally destroy what you would be missing anyway
IF I get super anal, and whip out one of my 1985 Jazz Cd's and my old fat nasty power hungry "gives you a shock if you touch it wrong" gear, sit in a quiet room with no lights and my eyes closed, and really focus... I can tell a slight difference.
MCA you are totally free to use it, but if you do we will sue you!
Apple is a company whom as patented glossy black, rounded rectangles, sliders on a touch screen and even as far back as the original mac, drop down menus. I don't give a fuck if they mailed me a sausage and cheese basket with a 100$ bill tied into a bow on top along with the source code, I wouldn't trust them further than I can throw my powermac 9600 (which that fucker weights 35 lbs out of the box + all the shit I put into it)
6 extra bucks gets you 2 movies a month unless your up the ass of a netflix hub, along with shitty poor quality online streaming with dick selection that doesnt work with anything thats not giving them a kickback
I quit netflix long before this all started, why pay for something that hulu beats for streaming, and if you do get a DVD 9 out of 10 times its fucking busted so it takes a week to see some garbage movie, then it gets lost in the mail and you have to argue with them.
I sometimes rent from redbox, that started when my niece was in town and my wife wanted her to spend the night (they live cross country) but it sure beats getting reamed for 6 bucks on a 2 day rental at captain jackoff & tanning salon, and if I tried renting it from netflix it would have been a week late + I would have have to dig though their shitty website, re-arrange a list and pray that the data side of the dvd did not look like glitter.
so I am going to use a emulator why would I want to run it on a 800Mhz PPC for 500 bucks when it will run on a 1.6ghz 199$ netbook?
Also mac moved on becuase it had support from Apple, Amigia was well dead buried and whored out before PPC models got shoehorned in.
This is not an amiga, its no where close to anything the originals were in terms of hardware, and (yes) that junky 1997 OS is a hobby project in order to sell nostalgia freaks a badge for retarded prices.

funny you preach about fanbois but one issue and now your anti fanboi
ATI has made shit
Nvidia has made shit
What happens when you go though every single maker of anything and no longer have nothing to hate against?
whatever, call me when it is

With all that ice melting we should have even more water available
yes they do, they take anything computer related, ship them down town, put them in a plastic bag, and ask 20$ for a used ball mouse
so did physical buttons when they were not the size of an atom with a 8 inch screen and your phone included a decent speaker, and service that did not echo
innovation is a bitch

yea ok if your computer is a pentium 3
Its got to be better than using vectors to define bitmaps as in pict format
Yes he opened this format after being in the dirt for nearly a month.

They didn't drastic increase their price and did not insult their customers by assuming that they are fucking stupid at the same time.
Fucking off in the park is not going to pay my rent, or put food on my table
