Sorry, but if you have a PS3 and HDTV, what kind of HD movie are you most likely to buy? I actually interact with the real people who buy real products. 90% of the people who buy s PS3 are for gaming. 50% of them have an HDTV, the rest want one. Blu-Ray is more prevalent in the minds of the people I talk to. The average person I see knows the Blu-Ray buzzword more than the HDDVD. It sounds cooler, it's not a jumble of letters that mean nothing to most people. Go to any place that sells movies and see how many people know that DVD stands for "Digital Video/Versatile Disc"
I'm an electronics dept. manager and last i've heard blu-ray is getting our backing more than hd-dvd. I've sold more PS3's (20 roughly) than 360 HD-DVDs (1 because one of my people left a $99 tag in front of it). Current hype from corporate is all about blu-ray being the frontrunner. However my store doesn't even deal in high def movies as of yet so I doubt I'll see the players.
Concerning hardware failure, I haven't seen the outright death of a machine, but run times in a space a little less confined than the average entertainment center leave a lot to be desired. PS3's really like locking up, requiring hard resets multiple times a day. Think WindowsME.
I'm sure I speak for all the people that work in electronics stores: PLEASE STOP CALLING ABOUT THE WII! When I actually get them, there are plenty of people already in the store who I will be more than happy to sell them to. Get off your lazy ass and go look.
As it was explained to me by a FujiFilm rep (YMMV) this is kinda how their 5th+ generation SuperCCD works. Near instananeously every cell of it adjusts to it's own lighting situation by communicating with other cells in the CCD. "Borrowing" light from other cells when underexposed and "sending" light to other cells when overexposed.
Well, OLGA is/was great for learning guitar, it's many tutorials and tabs help quite a bit. Of course there is also educational software for instruments as well, though I've never used any. Audio editors are GREAT for learning to play, cut the tempo in half and retain the pitch to get those fast licks nailed and refine your technique. Record your playing and listen to what you thought were tiny mistakes become glaring errors.
I take it you don't know the average person. True most people today know that apple makes the ipod and the mac. However the branding means little to nothing. When it comes down to problems with windows or their PC i hear more complaints about the brand of PC, not about windows. "I'll never buy another HP, tell me about this Compac." "Do you have any Dell?" "Will this logitech mouse work with my emachine even if it's not an emachine mouse?" Concerning the XBox, it's not Sony and it's not Nintendo, and that's about all people know. I haven't met any non-techie who cares that MS made windows and the Xbox.
I traded a nice but old motherboard and cpu for an xbox with a broken drive. $20 modchip, $12 wireless controller, one spare hard drive, and 5 minutes of soldering later I have a great media PC. It plays back every format i've thrown at it, be it music, movie, or photo. XBMC is positively marvellous software and it's integration into my home network allows me to keep content on my PC and stream it on to my TV. The only feature I want that it lacks is a PVR.

Uhm, that's pretty much all Carmack does. He hands over a new or revamped engine to the team and they do the rest, from design to implementation. I'm sure he has plenty of input into the process, but if you'll check.plan archives, interviews and the like you'll see that he's well into researching and implementing new engines and techniques before whatever id's current game is complete, or he's off in the desert trying to launch someone into space.
You know, my '94 Saab 900 Does a basic test every time I start the car, and displays the results on a panel in the center of the dash, right above the stereo. I mean beyond the average car's... err... POST. I've seen "Coolant Low" on the display. I've even gotten diagnostic info while driving: "Frontlight Failure" when one of my high beams was out. While some of the safety features of OnStar intrigue me I don't really care for the rest of it, and would most likely do my best to disable it entirely. Do these "features" stay active even when your free trial is over? Something else to consider.
Well.. true.:) The biggest problem is the fact that we have the dumbed down software for walmart, so we can't do the really cool stuff. They just keep taking more away, I used to be able to print "(c) Photographer" on the back of prints... Wal-Mart actually wants to discourage "custom" printing it seems, I've lost customers because of it.
We have plenty of pro photographers use our services for both proofs and a few for their final products. Others just get us to make a CD from their film. We also have a number of amateurs that use us. (and for those of you snickering at the idea of pros using Wally World, we have Fuji Frontiers, look them up, and I at least know how to use it) All I have to do to determine the authenticity is have a look at their source. After a little practice you can determine most scanned images from an original digital file. There's also EXIF in the originals. Most pros and amateurs just bring in their CF card and most of the happy snappy crowd doesn't know how to use a card reader. And if you are a pro and give your customers non-watermarked hi-res CDs I take that to mean you give them full release. Many photographers do just that.
Sorry for the rather disjointed comment, I'm home on lunch and time is limited!;)
If you're in Taylors SC and need inexpensive quality prints, just come see William.:)
Have you ever picked something apart, found all it's little imperfections and maybe a couple of glaring errors, but in the end walked away with an overall good feeling about it? You know when you sit down and feel that fat wallet lifting you up an extra quarter inch? That warm fuzzy sastifation. Mmmmm..
I have a kinda fuzzy memory from when I was about 2. My parents and I were walking along a path in an arid region, and I somehow managed to fill my right foot and ankle with lots of lovely spines from a cactus. I was lifted by my one of the parentals and was held almost horizontally and I can remember looking down, seeing my foot covered in spines and the path in front of us. I don't remember any pain or a lot of details or the actual sights, but I remember seeing them. The next memory is from about 3, at my baby sitters' place with a toy car you pull back, let go, and vrooom! A fridge was near. I have some other scattered memories with detail up until about 5 or 6, and now I can't remember what I was doing 6 hours ago at work.:)
Why not support some of the local businesses? There's bound to be a few small computer shops in your area and it's places like that who need your support more than any web based business. You get to visually inspect every part you buy before you pay for it, which is very important when it comes to your case and any other external parts. However the best part is you get your part the moment you part with your money. Then it's a short trip home to the screwdriver.:)

Your spending limit is clearly printed on your contract with Sprint, and you are required to initial that section confirming that you are aware of it.
I think that would be Back to the Future 2. IIRC the scene where old/crippled Marty gets fired.

it really is basically impossible to get the games legally for an emulator
Well, you could buy/find/make your own dumper, find the carts at a flea market or "jumble sale" and dump them yourself.

Considering the general quality of recent games, I'd say your vision would clear if you sat further away from the TV.

OK, I give...what exactly does one do when you are in the woods, and your server goes down?
If a sysadmin shits in the woods and nobody hears him does it make a sound?

VIA is actually far better than they used to be. However I don't recommend their chipset for the P4s, as the P4s themselves are inferior chips.
So you mean you got a motherboard that works with your CPUs? Very good, getting an Athlon or P3 mobo for a P4 isn't very smart. :P
Why not support some of the local businesses? There's bound to be a few small computer shops in your area and it's places like that who need your support more than any web based business. :)
