Why isn't there a TV version of Spiderman , Superman,Hulk,Dr Who or even Six Million Dollar man?
TV is absolutely unwatchable now.
Anyone remember the TV version of spiderman, the guy that looked like david letterman as spidey was cool and good. That was quality!
What does everyone think of Smallville ? I think the WB network is for horny little girls and black people. Talk about demographic targetting.

What do you guys expect.
One little campaign contribution can be the difference.
Bush = Harken oil = Enron = creative accounting, creative stock options = quick millionaire = buy texas rangers = if you try doing the same , you go to JAIL.
LCD
1. Expensive! because they are produced like microchips
2. No accurate color reproduction!
3. Not bright!
4. Refresh artifacts.
5. Pixels can go bad.
6. Fading over time
PROJECTION TV's
1. Heavy
2. Can be out of focus
3. Phosphors fade after time.
I hope DLP totally overtakes the market. I hope everyone sees it as revolutionary as i see it. LCD is rubegoldberg machine in complexity and Costs suck.
Conclusions
There are really two issues to consider as I conclude this review. First, there's the performance and features of NVIDIA's NV34 graphics chip and the GeForce FX 5200 cards that make use of it. Second, we have the Gigi FX5200P, Albatron's take on the GeForce FX 5200.
This is Dawn on the GeForce FX 5200
This is the Dawn we drool over
To NVIDIA's credit, the GeForce FX 5200 largely makes up for the travesty that was--and still is--the GeForce4 MX. With the GeForce FX 5200, NVIDIA can claim full DirectX 9 feature support across its entire graphics line. Even the cheapest GeForce FX 5200s, which retail for as little as $67 on Pricewatch, support all the DirectX 9 features that make NVIDIA's "Dawn" demo look so good, and that's an impressive feat. However, it's important to make a distinction between feature capability and feature competence. As we've seen in our testing, the GeForce FX 5200 is considerably underpowered in situations where even less technically capable graphics cards excel. Sure, the GeForce FX 5200 supports high precision data types, pixel and vertex shaders 2.0, and a host of other advanced features, but it doesn't seem to perform particularly well when those features are exploited.
So, while the GeForce FX 5200 is technically capable of all sorts of DirectX 9-class eye candy, I have to question just how well the card will handle future DirectX 9 games and applications. After all, a slideshow filled with DirectX 9 eye candy is still a slide show.
The GeForce FX 5200 isn't as capable a performer as its feature list might suggest, but that doesn't mean cards based on the chip aren't worth picking up. At only $67 online, the GeForce FX 5200 is a few dollars cheaper than the Radeon 9000 Pro. For gamers, the Radeon 9000 Pro offers better and more consistent performance. However, for average consumers and business users, the GeForce FX 5200 offers better multimonitor software, more future-proof feature compatibility, and silent and reliable passive cooling. The GeForce FX 5200 is a great feature-rich card for anyone that's not looking for the best budget gaming option.
So what about Albatron's Gigi FX5200P offering?
Unfortunately, it looks like Albatron may have tried to cater to gamers a little too much with the Gigi FX5200P. The Gigi FX 5200 retails for $95 on Pricewatch, which is pricey compared to GeForce FX 5200 cards from other manufacturers. The Gigi FX5200P does feature 128MB of memory, but since I wouldn't recommend a GeForce FX 5200-based graphics card to budget gamers, I don't see much point in having 128MB of memory on the board. With 128MB of memory, Albatron's Gigi FX5200PP is too slow to appeal to gamers and too expensive to compete with the $67 GeForce FX 5200 64MB cards that will appeal to budget-conscious businesses and consumers.
Albatron does, however, have plans for a whole slew of budget GeForce FX 5200-based offerings, including versions of the card with 64MB of memory, 64-bit memory busses, and even a PCI variant. Those cards should be cheaper than the $95 Gigi FX5200P and more appropriate for consumers and business users.

MONKEYS! monkeys can deliver messages house to house swinging from trees after receiving data from main radio reception dish .
Just feed monkeys bananas!
not exactly. Thats more of a image filter. The ads are still downloaded. You want the ads not to be downloaded so webpages load faster.
Would be very cool if Mozilla implemented this.
No other web browser has done this. Not Opera either.
This could really seperate Mozilla from other web browsers.
Also a image blocking button on the gui interface would be good.
Sun wants control of servers for their own profit. It's that simple. Why can't anyone see this?
Let me add that people are being forced to use this language like slaves.
Academia and corporations are slaves to propoganda by sun.
What kind of hero was that guy. Man you is fucking crazy!

Java has uses but not all the ones sun is claiming.
What I have a problem with is academia and commercial companies choosing java because of the claims of Sun which were false.
Dont you think there are better alternatives like
1.python
2.eiffel
3.ruby
4. euphoria. ok not oop but could be good for applications in webbrowser(speed)
i agree with both of you. read this article.
it's all a con. It's about sun $$$. And nothing great about it anyways.
There are some good points that have been deleted by the moderators.
All the messages about java being about profit for sun have been DELETED(not using modded down term) .
All the messages about java language being too wordy,slow, or even people griping about certain syntax of the language has been deleted.
Take the FILTERS off for all JAVA news submittions.
I am guessing here that the MODERators are JAVA programmers.
You do not need to mod down a submitted message to Troll if it has actual substance to it.
pathetic.
are answered here. it's lies by microsoft vs lies by sun to make $$$
nah,nah...nnnah,nah,,,nnah,nah,, Will Smith would have fucked that movie up bad.
SERVER BUSY.
Sheesh.
Go wack off to a gnu/linux/apache gay website.
that one?
GNU!
better.

Seems like LCd's are more suspect to this according to this ti funded study. Did you see the images?
heres how it works
