im not saying it should be prefered to DVI, im saying that they should make the monitor compatible with it, hardwarewise it would be very cheap, and it would make the monitor available to non mac users and mac users who cant be bothered to shell out the extra $$$s for the graphics card when they already have the non Dual Link card...
then stick to standard vga cables... those go to high enough resolutions... have the monitor with both inputts... itll know the price up, what? all of 0.1%?
easily explainable... you see an infinite increase in performance... without the card you get no display on the 30" display... with it you get an image... that a HUGE leap... all youve gotta do is make technology which isnt backwards compatible (well done apple)
i guess ill do that if i dont get playable rates at 1280x1024 but ill push the hardware anyway (1280x1024 is my ideal gaming resolution for some odd reason, even with games that run sweet at 2048x1536)
currently, in the uk at least, there is a zero tolerance on mobile phones during exams, you hand in the phone at the start of an exam, and collect it at the end, it is asked that you do not bring the phone at all into the examination rooms, and if youre found with one you instantly get 0 for the exam you are taking (as with all cheating) even if it is switched off... as ive already said, if you HAVE to have a mobile phone on you, you switch it off and hand it to the invigilator...
i think the "so long as they don't give it to anyone else" will be a real problem for some people...
i dont know how it is with most people but in my circle of friends when someone reads a good book they tend to lend it to their friends, i guess its something like sitting down to watch a movie together...
i like the idea of a book for life (mine usually end up in tatters, i read at the beach a lot, especially the books i read several times over, they get splashed with salt water etc) but i think id rather be able to lend the book to friends and get it replaced every so often (which im sure both the publishers and the authors would appreciate) than not
i was wondering about that... ive got a more than decent box (gig of dual channel ddr, p4 2.8ghz p4) and a 9800XT, i built it about 7 months ago and am getting a bit worried about frame rates id get in D3... running at 1280x1024 with full detail, etc im not sure if ill be getting playable rates... i guess overclocking is an option id be willing to take (got 4 120mm silent fans on the box, cpu goes up to 3.45 no problems, havent had the need to push the gpu yet (cpu was to see seti@home times))... does anyone have a clue as to what the frame rates will be like when compared to the demo released ages ago?
thats also because with a truck the difference in weight (as a percentage) between having a V6 and V8 lump would be insignificant compared to that in a lighter car... the same is true of older bentlys (the only difference between the 5.5 and 6 litre versions was that the 6 litre got an extra 0.2mpg, acceleration and top speed are identical, i doubt the same would be true for power and acceleration curves) on a lighter car (well... anything under 2 tonnes) the weight difference would have a detrimental effect on the milage...
also, newer mercedes V12s can run in 2 halves, in the city with only half the cylinders pumping to get better fuel efficiency.
and also, a struggling engine might be in the power band, but it also causes excess vibration which wastes more energy than it saves... you never want a car to struggle, its not remotely healthy for the engine, the mileage or the car in general...
i love those country lanes, with those little wide patches for getting around opposing traffic... but if you look at it british motorways have fairly wide lanes as well, and though the limit there is also 70mph, they were built for 150 (part of the spec)... i doubt theyre 12 feet wide, but definitely more than a metre wider than a typical car (about 9-10 feet i guess)
a certain wheel is used in every task, but its not the same wheel... try putting a wheelbarrow wheel on a truck...
medicine is not a tool either... a single computer is one box that achieves so many tasks... the worls also did plenty without the other tools mentioned... im sure when it came to leading a satisfied life hunter gatherers had a much more pleasant time, the unpleasant things were so commonplace that they were probably taken for granted...
flamewar sounds like a bit of fun... bastardisation of the english tongue seems like a bit of fun too... it really fucks me off when people use "youre" instead of "your", etc... then again, it really fucks some people off that i refuse to use caps most of the time... things like that shouldn't bother you too much, i guess, but they do... anyway...
i think that was his point... before the manufacturers ran chips at a much lower speed compared to their potential than they do now... and 8MHz is a 32% bump while 67MHz is a 5% bump... i overclock a 2.8 p4 to 3.4 which is a 21% boost, compared to those 8MHz my 600 are nowhere near as impressive
my bad... need to learn to read...
come to think of it a hundred thousand stores by then doesnt seem unlikely dont you think? lets say the worlds population roughly stabalises at 10 billion, 10,000,000,000/100,000 = 10,000 people per store, which i think is viable for a coffee shop, world domination assumed obviously
im sorry, i didnt realise, i try not to pay too much attention to starbucks, i cant stand their coffee though i can respect them as a business...
they seem to be doing more than well enough
and some shut down... its a franchise, not all of them make sufficient money... and wheres the 100 from? 520 a year, has it been growing at that rate for 100 years?

i believe they mean speakers... well... diaphrams of speakers...
oh come on, be fair... theyre mac users, they deserve to be charged more

dont you mean hour or two?
maybe if they could somehow incorporate simultanious bootup?
oh come on... not every human... all but one... :)
same goes for democracy by the way... and equality...

didnt i read a few days ago in another story that apple was behind linux on the desktop?

question... why the hell is this modded insightful? funny that...
though there is no infringement as there is no copyright...
if everyone gave more than they took thered be a bit of an excess in stuff to take...
