The Rebel XT is the same camera as the 350D. Rebel is just the US name for it. Most of the rest of the world calls it the 350D, and it is known as the "EOS Kiss Digital N" in Japan.
Or else Sony wanted people to buy a copy of the DVD and the UMD, and not just transcode the DVD to MPEG-4 and watch from a memory stick at full quality.
The videos have always played full screen. But Sony doesn't allow 1:1 pixel mapping from the video to the display. They always scale the video from half-res to fill the screen. Video played back from UMDs was at the actual resolution of the screen and much sharper looking.
I don't keep up with PSP news all that much. Has Sony allowed video stored on a memory stick to be played back at full screen resolution yet? With the death of UMD videos, you'd figure they'd be nice and unlock the full-res playback of user-encoded video. But then again this is Sony...
I have an ATI Radeon RV200, the GLX does indeed perform rather well on this old of a card. It feels a bit like Enlightenment did on my S3 911A back in the '90s.
That said I turned off the eye candy as there are enough little annoyances to keep me from it.
First it resolution is limited to 1600x1200 (or 1920x1200 for 16:9 displays). When one is used to 2048x1536, 1600x1200 seems so cramped. I also use the gconf-editor to modify the window control widgets to have the close X on the left (where it belongs) with the Metacity window manager. The compositor used with XGL doesn't obey that setting. Last, seems to be a real bug. My panels after any sort of touching would shrink to being about only 1024 pixels wide, and not stretching across the whole top or bottom of the screen (yes with Expand checked). This issue goes away upon switching back to the non-XGL server.
The autoupdater in SLED 10 adds ATI and nVidia to the list of servers from which to pull updates. I have an ATI card in my work machine where I'm trying this new distro. It found and configured the card out of the box as you wished.
I've noticed the same. Right over the ridge of my nose. I can tell if someone holds their finger close--but not touching, even with my eyes closed. I've tried the same with others, and they can feel it too. The sensation is almost like a tickle.
My machine at work gets wonky after a power blip. It will not power up until I remove the plug from the wall (or flip the main switch on the PS) and hold the power button on the front of the case. I can actually hear a little squeak from the power supply that lets me know it is ready to go.
Thank you for pointing this out. Right from the MSNBC article (emphesis mine)...
The report, the first comprehensive analysis of malaria research funding, coincided with an announcement by the field's biggest private donor, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, of $258.3 million in new grants to accelerate the development of new drugs, a vaccine and better mosquito control methods.
The invite system is still there. This is just antoher way to sign up for U.S. residents that have mobile phones on the supported networks, yet no friends with Gmail to invite them.
That is a good question to which I do not have the answer. I know there are different qualities of mini-labs. Whether any of them use the older processing system would be something I'd be interested in knowing also.
I get my digital photos developed through Ofoto (Kodak Gallery), thinking they probably use the best mini-lab available from Kodak. The prints are absolutely beautiful, but I don't know their longivity at this point.
Most of these digital print makers do actually use a photographic process. There is no print negitive involved, because the computer can take the regular image and invert the colors easy enough.
It then takes the inverted image and uses colored LEDs to expose the piece of print paper in the size that you have picked.
The reason these machines are called "mini-labs" is they have a full photo lab inside of them. Once the film is exposed by the LEDs it is then developed, fixed, rinsed, and dried all inside that box. Then the final print emerges.
They've done everything they could to make the 360 look smaller: make it a ligther color, make the side of the box convex. But when it comes down to it, the overall dimensions are almost the same as the original Xbox. So yeah, it's huge.

I thought it was Dell that took over Alienware.
The Japanese names for these cameras are: 300D = Kiss Digital, 350D = Kiss Digital N, 400D = Kiss Digital X.

G vs. E, was not an Sci-Fi original. It was just aired there after it had already been canceled on USA Network.

That board has the HyperTranport slots that allow for a daughter board to be connected. It can form the root of a 16 core system, with 128 GB of RAM.

What if the quasars are not where the scientists think they are, and the who red-shift as a measure of distance in the universe is wrong?
...and Sears Card is backed by Citibank.

Me too.
I see now, it Deception was on the original list, but it didn't actually work, so it must have been pulled early on.
I was hoping to see support added for "Deadly Alliance", but it seems that "Decpetion" has even been removed from the list.

There are pictures? I wasn't even going to click on the story until you said there were pictures. Thank you.

I think LiveJournal should be used more often as a source for the NY Times. Wow.
Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
