I don't use a tuner per se, but I use the composite and S-video ins, and dScaler for deinterlacing. The tuners themselves are pretty cheap, nearly any VCR has a better tuner it seems.
I also have a Holo3DGraph I card with component in and a FLI 2200 deinterlacing chip.
My computer has three or four video capture cards, so I have direct links to a lot of separate devices.
I thought DS9 was the best of all. With the previous series, they rarely had to deal with deep-seated hatred between two races. It also had a long plot-arc, something that was practially verboten in OS, and in TNG until 4th season.
Most of all, I liked DS9 because it didn't try to paint Starfleeters as such perfect, moral people, and didn't try to paint an idea that all problems can be solved in a week (or two). And I was tired of all the moral pontificating that TNG had, it was a better show when they were OFF the Enterprise, like on the homeworlds of other races.
Being on a station didn't seem to stop them from going places, they still had runabouts, went to numerous Gamma quadrant planets, and later, they did eventually get the Defiant.
I don't blame the resistance. Most, if not all of the "unique" changes that are part of the BTX chassis spec can be adapted to the ATX bolt patterns and other parts of the spec.
The fan duct? Ha. There are a few aftermarket mods for putting fan ducts into an ATX case. Compaq and Dell use fan ducting too, in some models.
Small form factors? There already exist micro ATX and even NLX form factors. OK, the PCI-E video cards do get better cooling under BTX, but there's nothing there that says that an ATX case can't be adapted such that the video card can't be relocated or the card cage given a duct of its own.
I think it depends. Aksing you to OK software without telling you what that software does is wrong. Yes, users should beware and not click every OK button, but that shouldn't absolve the malware maker's legal liability if that OK button doesn't have plain language explaining what the software does.
Agreed. For a lot of people, going from 256MB to 512MB is a far more cost-effective upgrade.
Ever since my first computer, in the 486 era, I've stayed about a year or a generation behind the "leading edge" for cost reasons, although I've slipped, my current computers are more than two years old, but now I own more computers because the older ones are cheaper.
It doesn't appear to be a clear leader over the 875 chipset.
Outside of a few game benchmarks, one MPEG encoding benchmark, there isn't much more than a percent or two of difference when comparing to an FX-53 system, hardly enough of a margin performance-wise to call it a simple beating.
It appears that just using DDR rather than DDR2 would be the thing to do. Is DDR2 the new RAMBUS? It is more expensive but not providing any notable performance advantage?
A difference being that N supposedly makes money on every unit they sell (plus get money on licences), whereas MS is apparently bleeding it for every unit, and not making it back on licences.
HDTV monitors is supported by some games, it just isn't required. Even at maybe five million HDTV monitors in the US, I guess that's not compelling enough to program for.
One thing I wish is that the spam detection would detect illegal tags and flag messages with too many of them as spam. Anything inside angle brackets isn't shown to the user but they are thrown every three letters in so that it screws with the filters.
It's kind of frustrating that Thunderbird doesn't offer any flexibility in its spam detector.
A second hand SCSI drive is relatively cheap, last I bought a 10k drive, it was $50 for a 9GB. SCAs are even cheaper since the need for an adaptor for anything that doesn't have a backplane ups the cost in other systems. It looks like E450 has one.
An e450 is massive stupid overkill though, that is, if that system is actually for real in that minivan. Nothing done there couldn't be done on a single CPU with a single stick of memory on a single hard drive.
You have a point, but it has already been covered. A lot of people have covered it. The Supreme Court of the US has covered it.
The First Amendment isn't something that can be legally used to harm people at will.
Slander, libel and defamation are llegal.
Incitement is illegal. If you try to convince a person or group into commiting an illegal act, you are breaking the law.
Some forms of "actionable" speach is illegal. Yelling "fire" in a crowded hall is an often-used example - because people act on it to the point of injury and death trying to leave the building.
Make use of this same technology to make the battery life of the phone in general
A well-designed phone with intermittent use can last over a week.
I have a Sanyo SCP-4900 and I never turn it off. On light use, I get maybe nine to ten days on a charge. On heavy use weeks (~100 min/wk for me) I have still managed six to seven days on a charge. I've never really unexpectedly lost charge, when it hits red, it still seems to have two day's worth of sleep.
Is that not enough? More is better but sometimes when it gets low, I've forgotten where I put the charger!
Wide-spread use of graphics on the web didn't really take off until jpeg and gif compression became common.
Wasn't GIF a format developed by Compuserve, as in predating the commercial development of the Internet? I thought that web servers and browsers had it already once the US government opened up the Internet to commercial uses (IIRC, 1993?).
Three months ago, I probably would have thought the same thing. For fixed systems, wired is IMO the way to go whenever possible, and I've run over 1000ft of wiring to make this possible.
I use both wired and wireless now. At work, I have a dock for my laptop that includes a PCI network card, the dock has three normal PCI slots.
At home, I just use the wireless card so I can use my laptop on my dining table or my lap in the living room rather than going to the den.
I have also set up an outdoor wireless system so I can access the internet using my laptop, provided that I'm within 1000ft of the antenna. I have built a remote setup that allows me good access within two miles of the antenna, terrain allowing. With another access point on that system, I can set up a repeater on that so I can be a good distance away from that remote system.
I find it pretty liberating to be able to go just about anywhere and do my work. With a [i]good[/i] laptop, one can go anywhere for three hours or more without worrying about a power jack either.

Open source can lead to pretty nice software. A problem I have is that coders like to code for free, but often won't document worth a damn. This makes me wonder if the open textbooks will ever amount to anything.
Publishing is one place where higher education has run amok. Basically a lot of uni profs HAVE to publish something more often than a specific intervals. Quality of material doesn't enter into the equation.
They also change editions often to discourage re-using books. Often the new editions are slight changes to the actual text, and drastically revised problem sets so you have to have the book or access to them to get the correct problems.
I think there might still be IP royalties. Also of note, is that it looks like there are two other CODECS that are part of the spec, which is good.
I'm not sure why Sony is singled out as the creator of Blu-Ray because several hardware makers were involved in its specification, Pioneer being a partner in equal standing with Sony, IIRC.

I can't say much else, but the Taiwanese drive company Lite-On uses Taiwanese engineers for design, and their Chinese plants for manufacturing.
I'm not sure the Chinese-ownd Chinese plants have much incentive either, I think it is futile on the part of Intel.

They don't have to give away shit because so many people are already addicted.
That's a different scenario.
That still doesn't answer the question of how a given drug user originally got addicted.

Patching the software doesn't expand hardware capabilities though, unless hardware sits unused until it is later enabled through a patch.

Well, George Orwell was said to have said something very similar to that: "True freedom is the right to say something that others don't want to hear"
I didn't check that source though, so it might not be right, and I can't say it was the first quote of its type.
There are varying grades of flourescents, and varying spectra and color temperatures that you can buy.
I too doubt the eye damage thing. Less blinking? Is there something to back that up?
