Most 43 inch tv's are native at 720p, some of the newer ones might be 1080p. 1080i is interlaced so it may actually be worse than 720p and may be the reason you aren't seeing it as good.
>> You do remember that he softball interviewed Kerry during his campaign, don't you?
He doesn't grill people that come on the show. In general he has celebrities and the interviews are usually about them. Essentially he softballs everyone because it's not a news show. Those aren't news interviews they are more akin as to what happens on the late show. Bush was also invited and he would have gotten the same treatment.
>> When I was interviewed, two of the interviewers (developers) had actually worn shorts (not the norm but allowed) and asked me if I minded a laid-back environment.
Yeah I get something similar from charities sending me mailing labels every Christmass and then charging me for them. I also get mail in the form of a check only when you look at the small print it's a loan. Yeah it's all bullshit. Usually legal though.
Ok, maybe I'm misunderstanding the link you had on the page. However it says that a public educational institution refused to fund a religous group. That in no way stops people. The first amendment says you can say what you want, not that you'll be helped by the government in saying it. Then again I may be missunderstanding the link.
>> The cure is abstinence, but nobody in our society wants to practice that.
Nobody anywhere at anytime has every practiced it. You really think it's easier to change ingrained genetically coded human behaviour than to find a cure. Good luck.
Ahh but this is slashdot, so you are probably just bitter cuz you can't get any.
oh man games are getting easier these days. Tomb raider was relatively easy, you did have to think your way out of situations though and I can see where there could be a large variance in terms of analytical skills.
>> King Kong is a long movie. Its also shit (in my opinion, YMMV). Applying the metric to books and movies is clearly nonsense, so why apply it to games?
You can get an exact lenght of the time of the movie it's usually printed somewhere probably in the same small print as the lenght of a game. It's really hard to define the length of a game though. Even the expected/average game time. Especially for a game like Tomb raider. It didn't take me 40 hours to beat Legends. It sure as hell took me alot longer to find all the hidden items in the game, and unlock all the outfits. I'm still not done.
>> I was a Beatles fan before I was into any sort of 80s/90s pop music. You think the average 15 year old gives two shits about the 70s or 80s?
I don't think you realize it but you were the weird one. Do you realize that the Beatles were just a pop band like any other? It's just that lately(1996 is the year cd sales started to decline), pop bands got worse. As bad as the Beatles lyrics were(before the breakup) at least they could play and sing worth a damn. The average kid at your time didn't give a shit about 50's 60's or whatever. When I was 15 I certainly didn't give two shits about crappy music from the past, and few others did. Those that did were thought of as weird. And what makes your parents generation any more special than the generation before them, or even before that, or after for that matter.
>> My parents talked to me about their lives before I was born,
I get what you're saying, but the first time I read this I was like "WTF, kind of crazy parents are that. You can't possibly remember any of that."
>> I fear for kids, honestly, they're growing up without the slightest connection to the their past.
And this is different from every other generation how?
"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers." -- Aristotle
If they don't protect their trademark they may lose it. I'm sure they would have a pretty good case if creative came out with a cPod. However, and it may already be too late if podcasting became a genericized term that would put a big hole in apple's trademark.
Slashdot Mirror
no problem for me so far
and despite all that success he's still got a chip on his shoulder.
>> Oh wait! I almost forgot: This is also a feature article in a bouncer's head:
>> "Girlzz r hot".
Hey mine too. What are you trying to say.

why not put six ads on one page instead?
Really it shows how broken the system is when people get paid per view instead of click.

Spoken like a true northerner.
>> Yeah, that's what we'll likely see, pointless innovation for the sake of innovation, the next gen will probably ha
all those features kick ass. I shouldn't have bought my ipod yet. Nothing like an easy to use turnip twaddler made by apple.
haha, I think they are talking about servers here. So if some dumbass can't figure it out, they probably don't care.
trade them in for a new set.
They love men that don't realize that it was a Mony Python quote even more.

Good point though they are called Dna nucleotides. Codons are three of them.
just by chance two random sequences of DNA will be 25% alike.

>> They just need to call in their loans, and our entire economy would collapse.
No, the US would just default on the loans and China's economy would collapse.

Haha, though a little too defensive...
It's true though most people do not like their job. I've been on both sides. You gotta go with what works.

yeah, I had this happen for a game I ordered on amazon. Back when they were doing it through someone else.
I wonder how legal this would be.
