if you like your sound without good high and low ranges, which suffer the most with the compression used in mini-disc. Technically, it's the part least distinguishable by the human ear, but it's still not "just as good"
say what you want, but in reading someone else's 10+ year old C code, the Hungarian notation helps a lot. Certainly vs. the [foo1..foon] naming convention
in 12-18 months time it will also come up against the PlayStation 2, which WILL play DVD and which WILL come with some sort of net connectivity in-box, supposedly for $200-$300. Granted, it's limited to TV res (unless, like the Dreamcast, it will have a VGA box addon). This could prove the "killer app" in this market, as in killing the iMac and its cousins among casual web and email users.
the other idea i had was a mini-at desktop case in the same form-factor of a stereo component, with a black (or dark grey color) to it and a door to cover the inevitable beige drives on the front of it. That way I can just put it into my component rack and use it for net (my tv is a princeton 27" multimedia monitor 800x600) and digital a/v pre-processing. But the cases all seem to be beige, too big, or have their drive bays exposed. It's an ongoing project of mine to find this. WebTV is not a bad prototype for form factor, though not for technology
I want a full-power pc that will fit in the footprint of a keyboard and not cost 3x as much as the equiv desktop (read: not a laptop). One day maybe...
I think this may have been one of the examples of non-lethal weaponry under consideration by our (U.S) armed forces a few years back, as listed by Popular Mechanics. That and something that would put out nauseating sound tones.
"Sure, you're sick and deaf, but hey, at least you're still alive" just doesn't do it for me.
or a non-techie who doesn't have a best buy in town, as the case would have it.
It'd do it at the onset of playing...

This is very reminiscent of the infamous WebTV, a device which sucks up the two greatest points of contention in a "typical American household", the TV and the phone at the same time. I imagine there are several parents of teenagers who are at home wondering why their movies won't play.
AFAIK, the only person I know who "bought" a DIVX player had a circuit city gift certificate for a large amount and the rep claimed that they didn't have any non-divx crippled players.

Al Gore is an alien, I have proof.
His "volunteer to pay off your college" initiative will provide a steady stream of slaves...err..workers to complete his alien domination plans.

Ahhh yes, the aptiva-s. the s was mistakenly construed to mean stealth, whereas anyone who had looked at one closely would realise that it means SLOW

not to mention my TR(a)S(h)-80 color computer, but I haven't seen a good example lately.

I hear that in this one episode, Corky gets some!
Isn't sunsite becoming a download.com mirror?
this would at least mean that they would have a decent selection of links to non-windoze s/w building up.
why a circuit shitty employee of course.

but on free will, nobody.
so you pay your "taxes" to Adobe rather than Microsoft, that doesn't seem like a super-big step up to me.
