"Am I supposed to be unhappy at paying lower prices from an efficient company? Am I supposed to be angry because Wal-Mart doesn't charge me more?"
No, your suposed to feel like sh*t for being happy to pay less for a product made by [close to] slave labor. Why should others suffer so you can get lower prices?
I like my data. I like it to be there when I get home from work. Thats why I've got a three drive RAID-5 on my main workstation. That way if a drive dies my data is still there.
So what advantage does this board have over, say, a dual Athlon MB? Why go through the trouble to use an older PPC based system if you're just going to end up running Linux on it? If this could run OS X as well that would be one thing. But everyone knows how strict Apple is when it comes to that.
So I guess I just dont get it. Why is this worth the effort.
"between 5 and 30 flashes per second (hertz)"
Sounds about right, so on hte high end all it would take is to run the monitor at 60hz while bellow that would require an outside frequency to nterfear with the monitor.
I've not heard of it causing siezures. However I don't see why it couldn't happen as it's just a matter of hitting the wrong frequency. Most likly it would be caused by somthing with a low refresh rate like a florescent light interfearing with the monitor refresh.
1. Higher refresh means less headaches. You want at least 120hz so that each eye gets 60+.
2. Some people have one eye that is weaker then the other. Using steroscopic shutter glasses will in fact improve or reballance your eyes. If you can deal with your head pounding in the mean time.
I used to work for a small company called 3DTV that was a splinter group from Sterographics. I worked on software and marketing for hte first round of consumer shutter glasses, back when you had to use DOS (as in C:\) becuase Windows couldn't do page flipping synced to the monitor refresh rate (one flip per refresh). I for one was allways very fond of this tech', provided that you ran at 120hz or higher so that each eye is getting a full 60hz. In addition you need to turn off any other light source as even a basic light build has a refresh that can cause headaches if it is not in sync with the monitor (imagine every 10th frame being darker in one eye). Its very good to still see this stuff around.
While I don't normally reply to sarcastic Hobbits. What the hell, I'm board.
Who says he's dead? He's just disabled and bleeding to death.
That must be why he looks at the camera, gets a panicked expression and then puts his head back down.
If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, even the book says that Legolas picked up orc and goblin arrows along the way. Besides, if you sat through the movie counting the arrows, I think it's possible that you might have missed the point.
It's like in westerns when the good guy shoots ten times with a six shooter. When the guy has three arrows left and he shots five times, I cry foul.
It's not a matter of accuracy but of constancy. It's the script supervisors job to make sure that people and objects are where they should be when moving between scenes. Even low budget porn productions have them. That a reasonably large budget movie with a lot of talented people behind it can't get some rather simple things to work is absurd. It's like in Saving Private Ryan when the medic gets shot in the kidney and starts spurting strawberry syrup, when anyone who's looked into human anatomy could have told them what a kidney wound should look like. They just about killed what should have been a very good scene by not buying a.25$ thing of brown food coloring.
I only hope they got around to hiring a script supervisor by the time they started shooting the footage for the second movie. LOTR was so full of inconsistencies it ALMOST detracted from the movie.
What happens when her virtual husband dumps the virtual her and shacks up with the virtual cheerleader? Do they get a virtual divorce and split the virtual possessions? Can she get virtual alimony to pay for her not so virtual psycho analyst bills?
The link is an interesting read. However I was struck by two things. First he claims he is turning 30. Second he says his child is 13. 30 - 13 = 17. IMHO thats a wee bit young to be a dad. Then again him and his kid could sit around playing PS2 games and snarfing cheetos.
"in this case"
These are the key words. The idea that any platform can be best at everything is contrary to logic. However that in no way stops the zealots on both sides loudly proclaiming that their platform of choice is the one that's "it".
This is reminiscent of the old platonic girl friend problem. You know, when you're friends with a girl you really like and they claim to need to find a guy that's just like you but not you. In this case you want an OS that's just like Windows but not Windows. Based on the analogy I've provided the best I can suggest is that you give up.

PGP must be good encryption. I've been trying to brute force decrypt the phrase "zimmermann" and I've had no luck at all so far.

Um, yea. So name a 3D system that works with only one eye. You may as well ocmplain that people who are deaf in one ear cant hear 3D audio.
For what its worth. Tolken used the term Elven. However his editors insited on using Elvish. This caused Tolken to get rather pissed.
My bad, the wound was to the liver, not the kidney. From what I've read and seen it should have been dark, almost black.
To quote Tolken. "Its ELVEN you fool, not elfish."
Unfortunately I do notice these things in the theater. Wish I didn't.

The dead orc still looks up when steped on. The arrow counts are still way off. The size of the hobbits still keeps changing.
Of course it seems I'm a troll for even thinking that there could be anything wrong with these movies. (sigh)

Not that I care realy, it just struck me as odd.
