how can you possibly heat water to 170 degrees unless you do it under pressure? McDonalds' coffee machines are percolators as far as I know and couldn't possibly produce coffee of 170 degrees. I doubt that the coffee in question could have been much hotter than 80 degrees - certainly hot enough to scald but, then, coffee's supposed to be...
I am classified as an "abnormal trichromat" also, and it's not all that unusual. It certainly doesn't lead you to perceive colours that aren't there, just gives you a slightly more definite distinction between hues. Judging from the screenshots posted, they had every right to complain. Looks like a big Disney fuck up to me.
you're BASOLUTELY RIGHT, of course - everything should be colour corrected for display with Rec. 702 colour gamut and primaries - if they DIDN'T do this then they were neglecting their professional responsibilities. I have to say that the Disney DVDs that I've seen have been of good overall quality, so this does surprise me rather.
you're an American though, right? No one expects Americans to even know where Canada is, let alone the approximate population of Japan. So, you're forgiven.
most likely the Clawhammer / Sledgehammer family - the world moves on, and so do the people who designed the Alpha. It would be good to see govt. earning their keep by actually trying to stop monopolies forming in important industries - diversity = choice, and choice is good. I never used a product that contained an Alpha CPU, but I've never bought an x86 based machine either...
if you want accurate rendering I'd point you to IE 6 for Windows - seeing as that's the standard.
I choose Omniweb (yep, I even paid) because the UI is outstanding, all my online banking works flawlessly, it renders Slashdot more readable than ANY other browser, it's filtering is top notch and it's bookmark management and deadlink checking is unsurpassed. Chimera may yet develop into something good, and Netscape 7.0 is a fine internet "suite", but I'd rather lose an arm than go back to IE from Omniweb - it's that simple.
...according to this idiotic article DOESN'T support tabbed browsing. Since it certainly DOES, the rest of the article isn't worth the pixels it's rendered with.
Oh yeah - my choice? Omniweb 4.1, Chimera 0.6, Netscape 7.0 IN THAT ORDER.
David Lynch's film is a masterpiece - shame it wasn't finished according to the directors' wishes. The scope of Lynch's filmaking matches up to that of Herbert's writing - with the exception of Kubrick's 2001 - that had never happened before or since.
Uncompressed SD video (in America, as you seem to be) is 720W x 480H x 29.97Hz; Y,Pb,Pr 4:2:2 10 bits per channel. The typical audio standard to accompany this is FOUR channels of 48Khz, 20 bit PCM.
In PAL countries it's the same but 720W x 576H x 25Hz - all else equal.
so do I, and the definition of UNCOMPRESSED is the real issue here. When we talk about uncompressed SD (ie D1) video what we usually mean is 4:2:2 non-DCT video, with 10 bits per channel an d NO alpha. Quite what uncompressed HD is remains to be seen, what with a current uncompressed standard still to be found. I suppose that D6 is the best match, but many would rather than Cineon's.dpx was adopted with its log LUT. I rather suspect that we'll have to wait for the Viper camera (or others like it) to catch on before we can really pin down a standard. Surely HD-CAM can't be it!
As to how much data or TiVo of the future could stash, I would hope that it will simply save the broadcast MPEG2 data stream directly - so worrying about MPEG-4 is irrelevant as long as we have an MPEG-2 broadcast infrastructure in place.

obviously that's a new, improved spelling of ABSOLUTELY that I'm testing out at the moment...

Java is useless on ALL Mac browsers!

not on my DP533 - what are you running?
>tabs?
no, but it handles windows very nicely, like opening links BEHIND. If Omni do add tabs, I hope they leave it optional.

if it's full, they're all going to the same place at the same time and they don't need to carry much baggage
then, yes

Lynch and McLachlan were both BIG fans of Dune and had read it MANY times

the problem with Clarke is that he writes like a 13 year old. Superbly imaginative, though.
errr.... nope

so where's YOUR fixed point of reference, then?

it's called HEROIN, and is NOT advised by your family doctor (although he's been known to enjoy it himself...)
no argument there, but I voice dial my 'phone (a humble Ericsson T-28) EVERY DAY without problems - why can't Clarkson manage it?
not quite - SD video is >1GB a MINUTE uncompressed, HD around 6 times as much - so let's say 400GB/hour at LEAST.
4Mbit/sec??
and what do you suppose the average data rate is on a 180 minute, 9.4GB DVD?
and it's "DVD quality" too!
the Earth COULD be completely stationary and everything else spinning around us.
you've got to admit it's POSSIBLE
I ALREADY hate Star Wars 3 and I haven't even seen it yet
you should get a Mac then.
I talk to it, and Victoria High Quality talks back...
