The only problem with that is a lot of music being sold on "CD" are not actually CDs, they just happen to look like them and function similarly in most, but not all, players.
I've noticed that during sporting events filmed in HD, that the closeups of the athletes (who I'm pretty sure do not wear makeup) look perfectly normal. I don't know whether this is because of conditioning (athletes aren't expected to look like actors), the lighting, the sweat, or what. However, when viewing a show in HD that has also been filmed in SD, the makeup on the actors/actresses looks horrible and overdone. It's almost as if HD requires actors to not use makeup in order to appear normal, whereas the lower SD resolution required lots of makeup to achieve the "normal" look.
I like to think that the 2 Skinnee Js have decided this issue once and for all as evidenced by the lyrics for their song Pluto off the $uperMercado album. They might even have mp3s on their site still.
Is it also the local station's decision to speed up the tempo of all music played on a Clear Channel station?
Acura's new TL comes standard with Bluetooth

Is Bluetooth Dead?

· Score: 1
Acura's 2004 TL comes standard with Bluetooth. It allows your car to answer, talk, and dial a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone through controls on the steering wheel. It may also be voice-activated though I'm not sure about that. The phone-book and callerID information is integrated into the dash instruments. For a "dead" technology, it sure seems like a pretty big step to take for an automobile manufacturer.
Any sort of non-driver-initiated braking is illegal in F1. Traction control for the drive wheels is allowed, however that must be done using the engine, not brakes. The engine either non-fires cylinders to reduce power, or slips the clutches, or both.
Perhaps you should read this concerning the individual rights provided by the 2nd Amendment. The legal definition of "militia" can be read about here also.
Double checked locking does not work in Java. Javaworld is fed up with people posing new solutions to the problem. See these articles
They specifically cover your solution in that article. Hint: yours only works if there are no Object references or more than one primitive member in the class.
I agree that FireWire target mode is cool and nice, but it's just not that useful, IMO. You would think it's not that useful until you need to copy data off a drive you can't reach because the OS install is corrupted, or you're locked out of accounts on the machine. At that point, rebooting and pressing 't' and reading the data off the drive using firewire is extremely handy.
I don't know what Atlantic City you went to, but the scantily clad cocktail waitresses I saw were not something to be distracted by. The prostitutes on the other hand...
Anyway, my main point is that all the HDTVs I saw... and I looked at a good number, could display 480i, 480p and 1080i, but definately not 720p.
That may have been true a couple months ago, but there are 3 manufacturers that make models that I know of, today, that display 720p either natively or by converting to 1080i.
To say that none can display 720p is blatantly false. The two DLP sets, the Samsung and the Panasonic, display 720p natively. The Sony's "downgrade" the 720p to 1080i. As for ABC, they are planning on broadcasting about 60% of their primetime programming in HD at 720p. I can't find the quotes on this, but you can google for it.
Digital TV does not necessarily mean High Definition TV. A signal can be broadcast digitally in 480p (480 lines progressive) which is what Fox is planning on doing. A 480p signal is not considered an HD signal. ABC is banking on 720p (720 lines progressive; HD). Other networks have decided on 1080i(1080 lines interlaced; HD).
This means you can have a Digital TV that is not HD compatible. Generally, to be HD compatible a television must display either 720p or 1080i. It should be noted that these are not all of the HD signals, but the most common. I believe there are also 1080p, and (maybe)540p or 840i signals, but they are uncommon. To be a Digital TV you only have to display 480p.
Aren't those all just reinventions of the Turing machine? What exactly is your point? People abstract things (reinvent) to make them easier and more powerful to get things done. My handgun is just a reinvention of a thrown rock, but it's a hell of a lot more accurate, reliable, and deadly. The car is just a reinvention of the horse and buggy. The telephone is just a reinvention of tin-cans with string. Just because it's a reinvention doesn't mean it's useless.
So somebody thinks it's easier to get the entire US population to adapt to colored money than it is to get a relatively few amount of foreigners to adapt to numerically differentiated money? That's a good idea. Maybe we should change all our road signs to something non-English to make it easier for the foreigners, after all, they're not used to road signs written in a non-native language. And what happens when some foreigner mistakes a Blue US $20 for a Blue French $.001? What's the solution to that one? Put numbers on the bill, like they have now? Double check with what bill you're paying? Actually read the denomination on the bill? What a novel idea...

This had me confused as well until I realized that maybe he meant words instead of syllables.

How about /.TV? 24 hour news and information for nerds? Fellas?
At least they'll have an excuse for all the dupes: Reruns
a plural noun that is actually SUPPOSED to end in -en? holy shit!
Don't forget that java.util.StringBuffer is thread-safe (synchronized).

The 2 Skinnee Js have a nice song about this whole issue. The song is called "Pluto" off of "$uper Mercado." The lyrics are easily googled.

No wonder the market will probably dip below 8000 today.

The Panasonic PT-40LC12, PT-45LC12.
The two Sonys KP-57WV600, KD-34XBR2 are some of many that can display 720.

That's my number! Thanks a lot, jerk!
They're releasing this software to check how well their backdoors inside America's Army worked. Duh!
Or perhaps Apple has some extra benefit to testing it can do, owing to only having to worry about the G4 processor?
Apple still sells G3s in its iBook line.
Maybe Microsoft did help Apple with OSX because they know the *BSD base so intimately. After all, where else did all the working MS code come from?
Note: I'm making a joke!
