I beg to differ. The quality will be pretty much the same. Most of the entertainment I have witnessed in the last 5 years has been ridiculously low quality and time and time again I walk away feeling ripped off, even for free over the air TV. I see maybe 2 movies a year that are worth seeing in the theater, maybe another 3 to catch at a rental store. I have not seen a TV show worth watching either, more "lost:what a twist!", "Who wants to data gigilo?", "CSI:lab techs somehow in shootouts, now with more bikini's" , and "Americas next one hit blunder". I get more entertainment value for my time when my fiance shows me the latest batch of lolcats than I do from any of the media I actually end up paying for.
Its not really the Arm doing the heavy lifting here. Its the coprocessors. Beagle board is based on the TI OMAP 3530 chipset that has hardware acceleration for a large number of video codecs and definately supports at least 720p HD video output.
Also, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, "someone" in Petal, MS the sherifs department had successfully prepared for the storm with a stockpile of ice, water and food for local residents. The US national gaurd attempted to steal that stockpile and store it in a warehouse instead of distributing it to the people who needed it (and who's taxes payed for it). "Someone" held the national gaurdsmen at gunpoint and forced them to distribute the stockpile to local citizens. Note: I lived in Petal at the time.
yes. In a small american town, I forget the name, was run by a corrupt official who corrupted the vote through intimidation and outright fraud. After WW2, a group of returning GIs took up arms to overthrow the offender.
From a recent article I read right here on slashdot, the telomer section of a strand of DNA is supposed to zip itself up as a 4 stranded section to keep the end from getting unzipped. Though I have no idea how accurate that actually is.
Revision C beagle boards have a TFT connector available, allowing you to wire directly into some LCD panels. This is probably the most expensive part of a portable beagle system. Most 7 to 10 inch screens I saw were around $200 for single units. Though you could get something like a PSP screen for about $30-40.
You can roll your own with with a beagle board or gumstix plus a lot of hard hacking. Unfortunately the economies of scale mean you won't save any money, you would end up spending something like $500 to $700 plus a few weekends of research and work to put something together that would have about half the power of a standard netbook (possibly with the exception of hardware accelerated video thanks to the secondary features of the OMAP 3530 system on a chip).
The next year or so should see more powerful ARM chips on the market.
The Tesla isn't exactly expensive for its class. Compare it to a high end BMW and you will see that it slightly outperforms the BMW at its price class in several areas (though range isn't one of those areas).
The "The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007" signed by Bush allows the government to collect, store, test and experiment on the genetic material of every newborn in America without the knowledge or consent of the parents.
I am a contractor on an Air Force project. My facility is up to IE 7 and windows Vista. IE 8 is strictly forbidden, and firefox is not approved for use on the project, though it works just fine with the exception that the default font is a little to small to comfortably read.
In my fathers day a supercomputer took up 4 football fields of hardened underground bunker space. And if the air conditioning in the building ever failed, you had less than 4 minutes to get out or you die and catch on fire.

I've had access to win7 for a while through my MSDN subscription, have not tried it though.
My own unsubstantiated and random guess? Perhaps they send a laptop up with each astronaut and just leave it in orbit when he/she leaves?

but if they start putting armor on the fiber optic repeaters, how will the next generation of sharks get the lasers they so desperately need?
In some cases we have. Due to budget constraints, some prisons are being turned over to private enterprise where prisoners work for cents a day.
Yay. Now you can can register yourbankname.com with some funky characters that render in exactly the same way as the letter you are used to.

The private sector was unable and unwilling to provide the services. Thats why the people passed a referendum to implement FIOS service... >;(

Oops, forget my comment. I thought they were talking about the luxury sedan, not the sports car. Brain hurt.

Actually, its already here.

Its been my experience that downloading porn with your woman is often a precursor to making porn with your woman.

hilarious. mod him funny!
rental is a subset of performance.
For shame.
Neglecting your relationship like that.
You should be downloading porn together!
I think the original algorithm they used was "pay people to listen to your voice mails and have them write it down"
Oh I remember that "what a twist", I busted out laughing. It made the movie much better.

Wow. I vaguely remember playing that game on my dads c64 when I was 6. I remember it was some kind of difficult puzzle game with an elevator.
