  1. Re:Lots of reasons. on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    Projectors don't run at 24fps AFAIK, they fun much faster. And if the movie is recored at 24fps, then all the bluring and various effects of recording at 24fps will still be there on the DVD. The case is different for movies recored at higher fps on digital cameras, but that's not the majority yet, I don't think.

    I read an article that put cellphones/SMS as part of the blame: People will immediatly text their friends after they see a movie. So bad movies don't do as well, since word of mouth spreads much quicker.

    Big screens are nice, but they still don't make up for all the other things, such as no control and noisly distractions.

    Fat disibuted evenly thoughout the meat, and big clumps of fat and stringy bits of grissle are different things.

    Techically, yes. But killing a plant is generally regarded as much different to killing a large mammal.

    Why settle for the cheap cuts if it was possible to create the best cuts all the time?

    Don't forget, the best beef fillets usually come from a cow that sits around and does nothing all day. Compared to what a real cow in the natural would would taste like, what you get from the butcher "dosen't taste quite right."

    In the future, I see no more grissle or stringy bits of fat etc. Cheapest meat will taste like the best eye fillet you can buy, and nothing had to die.

  9. Re:Force? on Digital Cameras Force Film Off Dixons' Shelves · · Score: 1

    Who mods this shit up? Of course they have been forced off; forced off by economic factors, as you just said. What were you expecting? An article about digial cameras growing legs and physically pushing film cameras of the store shelves?

    Isn't UNIX over 20 years old? Last time I check, many people still followed it's model.

    Also, why fork out $1000's for software that one doesn't need?

    Same here, he has a copy of Excel, but he still uses Lotus 123 most of the time because he knows it so well and has written many macros for it, and Excel doesn't offer him that much more over 123.

    My dad still uses one of them, too! ;) Except I think he has the 200LX. It broke recently, and he had a hard time finding another one. They still seem to be in quite high use, as I don't think there is anything like the HP-LX Palmtops anymore (that being a small handheld with a full keyboard and MS-DOS).

    Uses it to run Lotus 123 and some forestry consulting software.

  14. Re:Actually... on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    No. There's one mouse button, just like the current Apple mice; the sensors detect which side you used to click it with, basically making it a two button mouse.

    No, the left and right clicks are real clicks, just the same button.

    The speaker is probably for the scrolling and squeezing.

  16. Re:Skeptical on Internet Explorer 7 To Be XP Only · · Score: 1
    Not sure what your point was. I meant that even if the PC can run Win 2000, it will more likely have a copy of either Win 98 or Win XP depending on when it was bought.

    Perhaps you miss-read "less likely to run Win 2000" as "less likely to be able to run Win 2000". Suble but important difference. I can remember many adds advertising computers with Win 98SE or Win ME, even when Win 2000 had been out for quite a while and was knowen to be a much better OS.

  17. Re:Skeptical on Internet Explorer 7 To Be XP Only · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because the kind of computer they'd buy is less likely to run Win 2000 in the first place? Many people still choose 2000 over XP because it can be more reliable and doesn't include a lot of the crap that comes with XP.

    Errr... Windows 2000 is more likly to be used by techies who might already be using Firefox.

    The kind of people not bothering to upgrade are probably running XP, since that was a replacement for Win98 (and 2000, of course).

    Probably because the control group would have topped themselves by the end of the trial.

    Seriously though, I imagine that they might not be allowed to knowingly not treat someone with this level of depression, as it might endanger the person's life.

    Cognitive therapy probably isn't used enough, nowdays. But that doesn't mean it can cure everything.
    It generaly works best when the disorder was cognitive (learned) to begin with.

    Cognitive therapy/CBT are certinaly more than "just talking" solutions. But they're still not a replacement for drugs in many cases.

    I'm sure you know that, but many don't (like good ol' Tom and his $cientology friends (Well, actually, his $cientology friends propably do know, but cult policy tells them to preach a different tune)).

    Nitpick:

    Psychosis is a symptom that can occur during a depressive episode, aswell as a seperate disorder. The way you phrased it, made it sound as if they were mutually exclusive.
