You may be thinking of the DIVX disc quality, rather than the player; most discs didn't support Dolby Digital 5.1, widescreen, angle changes, or any of the other good stuff the regular DVD's do.
The computer and information technology industry changes too rapidly to create any useful certification program (Texas suggests 12 years and a degree? How many programmers fit that requirement?). It's like trying to hit a moving target. This sounds more like sour grapes from the "real" engineers, who don't like the fact that we're getting the jobs, money, and attention with what they may see as less effort than them. The last thing the industry needs is another attempt at regulation. Drop the leash.
Why would anyone want to watch 5 and a half hours of...ok, stupid question. But still, would you rather see the edited version, in all its glory? Or some extremely long video with tons of outtakes and such?
FYI, the company i work for does some dsp stuff, so we got a couple katmai (PIII) chips from intel to write for. Our algorithms run about 130% faster on the PIII than on the PII.
Ok, Microsoft (helped) make computers easier to use. The industry has created millions of jobs, and the rate of competition and technological development continue to escalate. What Microsoft has NOT done is to cultivate this phenomenon, but rather sought to control it for its own ends. They remind me of the US auto industry in the '70s, protected by obscenely high tariffs and utterly lacking in motivation to please the consumer. Look how quickly the Japanese and Europeans responded to that opportunity. The US is just beginning to recover.
I agree. Proper grammar seems to be an odiously underappreciated art in this day. All you need to do is look at the use of "irony" (even in respectable publications) and you'll shudder with horror.

A dog with arms.... then he could let himself out to take a leak.

i hope its for mmx, too.
David Cutler (i think), who developed VMS, headed the NT development team. I read it in some book called "Showstopper!", about M$'s efforts for NT.

sweet. i wonder what the effective ranges are for weapons like this.
more like self-fulfilling prophecy
