That's where McCarthy focused his efforts. At first.
I have a nice living room stereo. It's useless when I'm cooking, because the speakers are pointed the wrong way, and ambient noise of the onions hitting hot oil. It's also useless in my bedroom-- where I do most of my programming, because the speakers are pointed the wrong way, and there's a wall and a door in between.It would be nice if I could listen to a single repository of music throughout my small home, regardless of what room I need to be in. If I ever put something like that in, I'll probably end up with Apple airports.
Don't confuse that need for "ambient music everywhere".
Assuming that each of the rooms is a proper room with proper walls and a proper door, stereo bleed shouldn't be a problem. But perhaps the submitter should have clarified whether "ambience throughout the house", or "easy access to music from several scattered locations" was the goal.
MacOSX gobbles memory. Firefox is much more miserly than Safari, but in general, Apple's philosophy seems to trade off a large memory footprint for speed/responsiveness.
Perhaps linux is a better fit for low memory devices.
How hard is it to pop in a new SO-DIMM? And don't try to say that "there's no SO-DIMM slot", because that would be dumb.
My mac's activity monitor says that about 900 megabytes is "wired", although that may be because my video chipset uses 256 megs for graphics. 450 megabytes are devoted to Safari, 120 megabytes to mail, and 74 to iTunes.
Mac OSX 10.6 recommends a minimum of 1 gigabyte. It's more comfortable with 2 GB, and zippier with four.
I'm not sure where you got that idea; I was merely pointing out that under current conditions, Netflix and Hulu aren't going to run the majority of users over the download limit. I said nothing of quality or even desirability of existing video.
Because I was operating under the assumption that you felt 300 kb/s was "enough." 2.35 Mb/s should be more than adequate for single users who want to watch Hulu/Netflix, in their current forms. If those services offered a 720p stream, 2.35 Mb/s might be a little tight-- depending on how many of those 720*1280 pixels get smudged out of existence.
The latest "Bones" episode on Hulu consumed a pretty consistent 93 kB/s-- probably limited by my ~768 kbps DSL line. Hulu itself recommends 1 Mbps for 360p videos, 1.5 Mb/s for 480p, and for 720p; 3.5 Mb/s.
360p is watchable, but it breaks up in places. The picture isn't all that detailed, and it looks miserable when blown up to a full screen. If you want to watch some TV while checking email, browsing the web, or writing some more classes, it'll do. If you want to devote your full attention to watching something on hulu, the artifacts can be distracting.
Now, if you had a non bandwidth restricted connection, 480p would be a natural choice for hulu-- a no brainer. If you had a high resolution display, you'd probably wonder why a 720p version was unavailable.
I don't really think that there's a "reasonable" upper limit for video, in the absence of bandwidth limits. Consider that the 13 episode first season of dollhouse is published on 3 bluray disks-- 130 gigabytes total, and 8 -- 9 gigabytes per episode. That's about 23-24 Gb/s with h.264. And people with bigger displays and better eyes than mine could probably still find fault with the video.
If hulu had a 1080p setting comparable to bluray, it wouldn't remain unused.

Are you sure you're streaming in HD mode? You have absolutely no complaints about the video quality and cannot understand why anybody would?
Well, I've got a PowerMac G4/1.25 GHz. The last time I used it was a month ago, booted into OS9, of all things. Its power supply is a bit flaky-- a loose cable perhaps, which probably will turn into something much worse if not fixed. Right now, it can only stay on if the case is open...
And the original G4 Software Install Disc is 10.2.7.
It can run OSX 10.5-- even with transparent menu bars, because the video card's been upgraded. But Time Machine tends to occupy an inordinate amount of cpu time on a single core G4.
By the, way, the Mac Mini G4 came out in 2005-- with Mac OSX 10.3.7

The law and, to a certain extent, popular culture, don't make that distinction. "Ephebophile" isn't heard very often.
Don't assume.

I wonder what "Reasonable Accomadations" are for the guy who fails against Flesh to Stone?
He gets his own headstone.
added revenue = added value.
This one has 70 Hit Dice.
Reasonable accommodations are in the eye of the beholder.
Your screenreader is much too slow. Try using the 300 words per minute setting-- the cues are much more precise.
The guitar's just a controller. Substitute your regular controller for the guitar.
Some bluray movies start up immediately. Dollhouse, on the other hand, has three or four trailers before the main menu.

Ah. So now apple has to cater to Microsoft's whims, else they get tarred as a monopolist.
