Well, sure there is markup with monitors but you have to realize there are probably way more displays made for laptop sizes (12-15in) then there are for desktops (15-21+). If they make less of the larger displays and they cost more per display because investment in manufacturing. So of course they are going to cost more because there aren't as many made. Finally, on the tv displays, the flat panel displays are plasma which is a phosphorous based display. These aren't the same as the tfts in pc monitors so it is comparing apples and oranges.
Alright, I just recently got my Computer Engineering degree, and I can tell you plane and simple the difference between me and a computer scientist. My education was centered on the design and operation of an actual product like an embedded system or cpu. A computer scienstist at my school, UT, spend most of their time on theory about how to program and such. As an engineer I had very few just plain theory classes, I was constantly working electrical circuit problems.
I'm not saying that all programmers are concerned with theory, cause I know plenty who aren't, but I know very few engineers who aren't working on designing some aspect of an actual product.
HAHAHA, sorry but I know you didn't say sony is the best electronics company on the planet. The only thing sony even makes anymore is their display products (monitors, tvs,etc), all their other shit is just relabled shit from taiwan or whereever. Also, sony MIGHT be top of the line at best buy or some store like that, but they are far from top of the line if you include the brands not sold at BB, CC, etc..
yes but it still takes a hour to burn a dvd at 1x. That is about the same time it takes a cdr to burn a cd at 1x. It is slow as balls, and it sux. Also the media that is out right now also sux. I mean the bulk packs are seriously lacking in quality. Also there is no point in getting a dvd burner now because of all the - and + garbage going on. The only place in town that even sells - anymore is frys, everybody else is going to the + standard. Sure - might be better now, but it prolly won't be in the future.
You go ahead and watch your shatty 1080i and I'll sit back and bask in my 2x better 1080p. 1080i is todays standard because it is cheap to produce and line double to. 1080p will be tomorrow's standard.
Your smokin crack. 30gb/month or 1gb/day is easily enough to play quake all damn day. Games require low latency but do not use much traffic. Sure you will use some bandwidth, but it is minimal.
Haha, this is funny. I'm sorry but sorting routines are pretty much just thrown in peoples faces and they are told use this routine when your doing this. Now I'm not saying there isn't any theory in programming, but I am saying there isn't any theory in programming for 99% of programmers. Sure there are those geniuses who come up with new sorting routines and better ways of doing stuff, but we ain't talking about them in intro courses. Most programming is cutting and pasting. You guys can jump around it all you want, but most coders cut and paste from shit they already know works and then try to get it to work in their own code.
Shit, I just don't understand you people. Whocares if you see it at 12:01 or even the first few weeks. I might go see it after the lines have died down and it is been out for weeks or months. I guess i'm just the only geek who isn't obsessed with star wars or could even give a shit that they are making ep 1-3, when i'm sure they won't ever be as good as the originals.
You could build a pc to do this for you. Of course it would cost a lot more than $200 and wouldn't have all the inputs and such. However, you could do a hell of a lot more than that too. You won't see something like you want for awhile since every company wants tons of $ and doesn't give a shit about what the customer wants, but what some are willing to pay for.
Alright, pappy, I think your a little old to be programming. Shit I mean when using words like "hogwash" you gotta be atleast as old as my grandma. I know i'm full of shit but I still have a few more years before i'm made fun of for being old.

I used to work at best buy last aug till october and I quit because of this exact reason. They pressure us sales people to sell service plans and accessories. That is all they care about. They push us and push us to get everybody a service plan when we know they are bullshit. I can understand them wanting us to mention it, but they train us to force feed the service plan to them. I say fuck best buy.

Actually, what we think of communism, ex soviet union, and n korea and china and other back assward countries, believed and some still believe, in spreading communism by any means necessary. This includes killing, war, whatever. So really the guy isn't as stupid as you think. Just look at Stalin and see how many people he killed to get his way. Now the idealistic communist country isn't this way, but we don't live in an ideal world.
Why the hell would they need to offer broadband to everybody and their mother at home? Just have some computer labs open 24hrs. It is way cheaper, and they can make sure you aren't d/l porn or warez or mp3s. Sure that takes all the fun out of it, but if you want that shit, you gotta pay to play. My university has a few 24hr computer labs, and our making more and more open 24hrs. Also, who the hell would want to share bandwidth with the university? You would be the lowest priority when it comes to bandwidth, and I'm sure during 9-5pm it would be slower than all hell.
Big whoop. Sorry but apple is covering their own ass and do you blame them? Same thing with rental car companies not renting to under 25, or not allowing under 18 to vote. Or what most people whine about, no drinking under 21. Your below 18, enjoy the fact that you aren't really responsible for anything except violent crimes. Anyways, put my name with the people who don't give a shit.
Well I don't know about "educational value" but it sure makes them 3hr boring lectures by Professor stick in his ass go a lot faster. College has become more bearable with 802.11b in all the classrooms and with earbuds that aren't noticeable and mp3 players that fit in your pocket. Now all I need is to be able to communicate with my cell phone telepathically and school will be great.
Yes but who wants stable high pricing. Less competition leads to higher memory prices. Plus it will take out all the fun of stock piling when memory is cheap.
Actually, the states have no rights when it comes to a federal election. Anyways, your still sore that the bearded man lost. Oh well, I luv how he went into hybernation and gained about 5lbs of hair on his face.

8 bits per byte, 8.6Gb/8 = 1.075GB so your wrong. It is just over a gig a second.
I was urinated on an old pc. Should have unplugged it first and then turned it on wet, because it sure gave a shock to my willy.
Why is she even bothering suing? I mean if that is $65,000 Canadian money then that is only like $5 american.

They aren't capping speeds, they are capping traffic. There is a HUGE difference. You pay per bit not per bit/sec.

I hear ya, living in austin. 2 bedroom apartment is $1000/month.
