You know what, this ignorant-ass troll post pisses me off so bad, I feel compelled to further correct your idiocy.
The french itunes DRM fiasco, which spawned this whole debate, wasn't about stealing music. It was about buying some shit on itunes, then having the right, as a consumer, to play it on devices other than the freaking ipod. The original law in france was that companies (such as apple) would have to "share DRM secrets to allow competitors to create compatible devices, eventually allowing other music services to offer music for the most popular music player" (from macnn.com).
Of course, don't let that stop your knee-jerk "goddamned hippie pirates want everything for free" trolls.
Sure, because DRM never interfered with fair use, or anything... and all countries have the exact same copyright laws as the US.
To throw your own argument back in your face - since when is artifically limiting my ability to use something I bought as I see fit a "right" of some company?
I'm not immediately familiar with the stuff in question, but I'n guessing it's a simple matter of densities. You're dumping a solid powder made up of slightly complicated molecules into a liquid made of very simple molecules. The density of that solid is likely quite a bit higher than that of water or liquid hydrogen.
Holy fuck... I thought it was a parody, then I realized.. THESE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUS! They even sell DVDs of kent hovind creationism seminars. That guy's so totally fucking batshit insane, EVEN OTHER CREATIONISTS don't want anything to do with him.
That's the point though... the top end is almost always a niche market. Ferarris cater to a niche market of people want the highest-end sports car, 65" plasma HDTVs cater to the niche high-end home theater market, and PC games cater to the niche high-end hardcore gamer market.
I missed the 60fps bit from your first post. That's utter bullshit. 1080p broadcast is either 24, 25, or 30fps. 60hz only applies to interlaced formats.
It's a standard, low-end macbook. No pro.
As far as my test material, try googling for h.264 1080p. There is plenty to be found at the standard framerates that make up broadcast hdtv. Call me out? you're full of shit.
I call bullshit. I can play 1920x1080 HD content with absolutely no problems on my macbook. The ONLY reason you might be having problems with a dual core mac mini is the abysmal graphics card they put in it, but it certainly not a question of processor speed.
If you want similar desktop usage to the i-opener, there's really only one easily available answer - an imac. You can pick up the g4 lampshade imacs for a pretty reasonable price.
Then again, I have an i-opener sitting right here next to me, and it only has a single USB port - so you still need a USB hub to attach a printer and usb key.
Actually, the hippies bitch about hydro because it destroys ecosystems, and solar power is NOT practical to provide anywhere near the amount of juice we need.
Goddamn do I hate you hippies. You have everything but an answer. You hate nuclear power, you hate fossil fuels, you hate incinerators. Come up with a practical way to provide the massive power requirements of our country without dumping a bunch of CO2 or producing nuclear waste and you'll have people choping at the bit to build it. Sitting here and bitching about every fucking effort made to imrpove the process a little bit isn't helping anyone.
Oh, and next time, try finding a source that isn't some highly biased political group.
You know what amazes me... there are several people now who've pointed out the fact that you can send the cover plates back. That's not what amazes me. What amazes me is the fact that this relatively simple-to-obtain bit of information somehow eluded the submittor. I wonder why he didnt think to CALL THE FUCKING MANUFACTURER and explain the situation to them.
AMEN... they give this shitcock free blog traffic about once a week, and all he does is plaigarize other peoples' blogs. The really sad thing is, despite the fact that the community has spoken LOUDLY to say we don't want this fucker's advertisements, not only do the editors keep approving them, but the moderators fight over whether to mod you insightful or troll.
Uh... what, exactly, is tactical feedback? Maybe you meant to say tactcile feedback? Of course, most people don't consider a little controller rumbling to be REAL tacticle feedback, and even if you did, it wouldn't be something unique to the Wii. No, I think you meant to say something completely different, and in your effort to use big words said something completely asinine.

Right, because it's the RIAA who's making all this music. Here I thought it was the musicians. Silly me.

well yeah, they'd want the riddle to be something a developer has no previous experience with.
I'm assuming they have libraries in Alabama.
Of course they do - where else are you gonna store all those Bibles?

You must be new here. Welcome to slashdot, I suggest you click that little linky up top and register, it's lots of fun!

Goat Sech just doesn't have the same ring to it.

It's hooked up to a 23" cinema display and plays 1080p in fullscreen without a hitch.

If I said that, I would have been modded troll. (watch this one get an offtopic).
Actually, scratch that - watch this one get a +4 funny then a -2, overrated, -2, troll, -1 offtopic, and REALLY fuck my karma.

Maybe next to a black hole...
upgrade my new Mac Book Pro from OS X to Vista.
Right, O. Thomas is the troll with the flamebait...
market snare?
It's a trap!
I made, and repeated, a silly typo... the OP said something completely retarded.
You, you just trolled me because you're a spelling nazi douchebag.
