It sounds markedly better, IMO. The problem is that my buddy (where I auditioned the DVD-A) had to buy DVDs he didn't even like just to be able to hear the format. If the record companies produce their entire catalog on both formats and the price really reflected the cost, then we might have something. DVD-A *should* always come with a standard CD layer (usually in Dolby Digital or DTS) and I believe if we were allowed to rip that under fair use, the format would take off.
Actually, Win2k is 5, and XP is 5.1 (run cmd and see the version number.)
There was an avi titled "LH3683PreviewLong-WinBeta" that showed him moving around on the desktop. I suppose you might be able to doctor that, but it seems really unlikely.
But haven't tried it. I think Apple may have really screwed itself now that Toshiba and SonicBlue (Rio) both have very nice Win-compatible HD based players.
Sure, you can't get your name engraved on them....:)
I believe that the purpose and methodolgy of the site is clear. I have used it personally to catch some kids' plagiarisms. The reality is that Google can usually find the same essays they do and it doesn't take 24 hours nor more than 10 words. Granted, Google doesn't provide a report stating the percent similarity; but you can print out the copy of the essay from which the student copied.
I have to say that the final statement in the article is exactly my assertion. Valenti and his minions cannot stop progress.
I love music and movies. I'm slowly becoming an afficiando of the art of film--more so than most other J6P I know. The SSSCA would only introvert me--I would not consider to purchase any product that met the required compliance. I'd buy everything I could from Taiwan--mostly b/c you damn well know they are going to capitalize on any openings in the market that they can.
I've written my representitives, have you?

What is .NET?

Ooops, I guess that's what I get for not previewing! I added an s by mistake. I did know exactly to what you were referring. I stillo maintain that the relationship Passport has with.net is only one piece of the puzzle.
Bwahahhahaha! This is a joke, right? Take a look at the article and you'll see why zones.com and the passport fiasco has very little to do with what.net is.
Lemme see....we have in the internet the biggest shopping mall in the world and yet these guys can't figure out how to use the internet to generate revenue?
Granted, this is NBC we're talking about, (which has all but given up on nbci.com ) but many streams now feature ads before they start to run.
They themselves admit that sports, next to pr0n, drives traffic--so why not use the relationship NBC has with MSN (barf) to sell me a Team Canada Patrick Roy jersey after streaming to me his five best saves?
The Chinese will host in 2008.
"The Chinese have been making great strides in copyright protection," Aikman said.
If there's one thing that can be certain, the island of Taiwan is the heart of true capitalism. Ever been to Hong Kong? Navy buddies of mine have bought cameras, DVD players, nice AV Recievers, all for 75% less than what you'd pay anywhere in th US.
These guys will find a way to make this work (I hope.)
#1: Just becuase it has been written about doesn't mean most people think it to be a possibility. Think of Dr. Strangelove.....
#2: How do you accept taxes from a Social Security number that was faked? We already reuse them (so many young children have the Social Security number of sombody who has died). Seems to me that chances are such that if you have a fake number and actually put money into the IRS' coffers, whomever actually owns that number gets an extra refund.
Am I missing something? I hope some illegal is putting into my name--I'd love to see that I paid more in taxes than even I could have expected to....
Jeez, here they (some) go again. The reason the attack on the WTC worked so well was because nobody every really considered the possibility of using airplanes as projectile explosives.
I'd say that there is really no chance that any terror network is going to waste its time trying to get onto a plane at this point. Yes, the US airline system was pathetically unsecure, but it really wasn't an issue until last year.
With the reality being that there are "simple but accurate" nuke plans out there (although just b/c I have the plans to Hoover Dam doesn't mean I can build it), I just don't see the airport as the launchpad for the next attack.
Millions of completely ill-equipped immigrants enter from Mexico each year, and while I won't argue the merits or lack thereof having a large base of cheap workers who don't pay their share to support infrastructure,
I'd argue that the biggest threat at this point is just keeping these terrorists out of the U.S. While the possible benefits of having such a database is clear, the reality is that it is Unconstitutional. When Madison wrote The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized, he was serious. Tracking who is living with whom is a direct violation of "being secure in one's home."
Did anyone else notice that the drivers used were the WHQL versions?
With the 23.11s being a major culprit in the infinate loop error problem and the 8500's 3286s being replaced with a newer version that is WHQL certified (6014) which is availible publicly from windowsupdate.com, how relevant are the results, especially for the 8500?
I know that my score in the Nature test went from an average of 30 FPS to 45 when I went to the 60xx series of drivers.
Moreover, people are showing huge OpenGL speed differences in the leaked 6018s that are floating around at http://www.rage3d.com
In the end, is this a real test of where these cards will be when the game actually comes out?
Isn't the reason to buy an 8500 or a GF3 so that you can play tomorrow's games? There are very very few that actually challenge today's hardware in a cutting edge PC. I guess I just saw the results I expected to see when I bought my 8500 a while ago. Nice to know I'm not totaly screwed.
I think this is a great story, for two reasons:
1) many of my 8th graders are actually doing an egg drop next week, so it's funny to see that others think it is as lame as I do (although they have to drop two eggs that touch, so that is much more of a challenge), and 2) some of my students are trying to get money from Intel to build a small solar car, so I understand how difficult it is to actually go through with something like this.
The reality remains, however, that I don't see Ball Aerospace suddenly dumping their expensive test facilities.
One wonderful thing about Ball is that they do work very closely with the University of Colorado and NASA to support student designed sats. They aren't, however, cheap.
I was wondering if I missed something. As another person said, most academic search type engines charge b/c they offer access to published documents electronically.
EBSCO, JSTOR, Lexis-Nexis, and many other charge universities thousands of dollars a year to provide periodical/article access. Most of them charge the library by each search.
You never just buy from whoever has the cheapest Pricewatch entry. I've bought plenty of stuff from vendors who list their prices with Pricewatch, but I always cross-reference a vendor with its score at ResellerRatings [resellerratings.com] to get a feel for whether the company in question is on the up-and-up. Since I've started checking prices this way, I've gotten reasonable prices and I've never been burned.
There are PLENTY of deals out there. I just got a new in manuf. box NEC toner cartridge from a place on ebay for $3.60 + 6.95 shipping. To walk into an Office Depot I would have parted with 7x the cash.
Hit the forums over at fatwallet and anandtech--there are amazing deals out there.

Trillian allows users to connect over AIM and ICQ using a 128bit SSL.
I must say that I spent a solid hour writing and faxing my representitves this week. Feels good to see that public intrest still makes a difference.
It's a slashdot sales extravaganza!

Additionally, talk about confusing the consumer--people are gonna be pissed when they don't have pixel shaders (maybe doom3?)
