The have a straight DVD player that will output that high from the S/PDIF.
No, they don't. SPDIF does NOT allow more than 20 bits at 48Khz in stereo if memory serves. They must be using a different output format. It's been done before - witness 5.1.
I think you must have issues with your sexuality. The iMac is an EXCELLENT client device, and a whole lab full is a comfortable environment to work in. Look up Netboot, and read about ONE of the advantages of the iMac.
I don't have a problem except with the notion that contract-bound 'phones are somehow "free". The "free" Mercedes keyfob that you get with your £50000 car is freeer than THAT, coz you don't have to pay Mercedes a fee to use it with other keys.
nope, you're totally wrong on that. They ARE locked and Orange / T-Mobile / Voda / whoever will charge you a handsome fee for unlocking. Face it - the only subsidy going on with a contract 'phone is the one you're paying to the retailer and service provider - that's why contract users give them a higher average spend. Buy your own handset (I got my T-39m for £140) and then go pre-pay - it's WAY cheaper and the only services you miss out on are irrelevent crap like MMS and Wildfire.
Are you another idiot who thinks that £17 a month for at LEAST 12 months is "FREE" then? And the 'phone is LOCKED so you can't use it on another network. Not too bright, is it?
Nokia make excellent 'phones. My girlfriend has a Samsung which has an abysmal menu structure (although an excellent screen). I use an Ericsson T-39m which is brilliant - Motorola's phones are the worst I'VE ever used. They CREAK and just up and die for no particular reason. Awful.
that's rubbish - what we really need is to give robots the ability to turn into cars and F-14s and then join together into a kind of super, Optimus-Prime type of device.
it's pretty easy - the giant heatsink covers BOTH CPUs, the giant fan runs SLOWER than your average CPU fan (like those fitted to the QS machines)and therefore is larger to give the same throughput at a lower noise level. The heatsink isn't all that much bigger than the one fitted to the dual 450/500/533 machines.
Amen, Apple most probably rate the best because the range of options in their machines is relatively small - but this has always been an Apple benefit, and it's the reason why services like Versiontracker work so well for the Mac - you can get your head around the size of the problem.
I think I read something to that effect some time ago - the gist of it was that Macs had a useful life of around 5 years whereas PCs were more like 3. It's been claimed many times that Macs require less support as well, which I've certainly found to be true in my business.
it's always darkest before it goes completely black?? So completely black is LESS dark? RIIIIIGHT. Oh yeah, PowerPc vs x86 - PowerPC is a worthwhile and powerful architecture, x86 systems have a lead at the moment, but this has a lot to do with Motorola being a fucked company (Iridium??) and not any underlying deficiencies in the PowerPC ISA. Look at the records IBM has set with the Power4. I think the G4's still got legs - sure, it needs DDR (or better?) badly, but that should come within the month. Irrespective of software benchmarks that can prove blue is green, the PowerMac G4 is a powerful system, more or less than a PC for more or less money. The fact that a single company can even stay vaguely in touch with the rest of the PC industry says a lot. In certain, limited applications, Atlivec is CRUSHINGLY fast. Look at distributed.net for a G4 best case scenario, it's certainly interesting.

why can't Americans distinguish between THAN and THEN?

> The user interface for Motorola is probably the worst, but thier reliability is legendary.
Tell that to a Startac user. They are SH1T!
maybe it's your hands that need a scroll wheel then?

I refuse to use a wheel mouse because a mouse needs a wheel like a fish needs a bicycle. I fucking hate mice anyway, I use a Wacom pad instead.
you'll be first against the wall when the Islamic revolution comes you fool

Apple are the MOST PC of all computer companies, in my experience.
why on Earth what I want to downgrade to a German marque when I have a Mazda?

Tell me about it, I used to have a Musical Fidelity A1 which could do double duty as a plate warmer.
Americans are raping the world. Parent is proof. And they actually think it's funny! Strange when they are some of those with the MOST to lose...
"Only the British railroad system is crap (even some British people begin to realise this now)."
It's only crap compared to how good it SHOULD be, it fucks the Aerican rail system out the door.
