It's not evil; a watermark is something very hard to detect, and that is often tailored to the specific user it's sent to, so that those who made it know how to find it and detect it, thus if a copy is made, the watermark will still be there and by detecting it they can match it to the user who broke out with it. A good watermark will resist a lot of different changes. Check the one put on movie soundtrack, that prevents them from being played back on playstation 3 or such if it's copied.. They've showed that cutting through the sound at random interval, changing the pitch, degrading the quality a lot, inverting the channels, and such, would not prevent the watermark from being detected, and the playback stopped.
Anyway, it's hard to believe they would go at that length on distributed mp3s, as those who share them the most are certainly not paying 1$ for them!
Yeah, the house is lit, but I'm not lighting the whole entryway =) Beside, that would still require backing into the garage, where the visibility required would still be high.
I'm always wearing my seat belt. As an anectote too, I once had an accident where I flipped my car down a river in the winter, and without my seat belt that could have been much worst, think going through the windshield and getting the car on me afterward. As it was the winter, the only damage was disjointed mirrors, and the engine had to be cleaned as it's not built to be put upside down, but that's it:)
As for why the mirrors ain't enough, it's quite simple. I'm driving a minivan, with 2 kids behind me in their big seats, and I often already opened the DVD player in the middle, which cut the view quite a lot. Anyway, I'm not disabling the censor either, and I just put up with the few beeps until I buckle up. I was not making up the circustance, I was just showing that the (parent to my post) view was limited in this following sentence:
"If you are driving long enough for the car to complain that you are not wearing your seat belt, then you are not making an intelligent decision."
Actually.. when I'm backing out of my garage, and my 100' entryway, I'm not wearing my seat belt as it prevent me from looking everywhere behind easily. As I wait for the garage door to close, the timer is already elapsed, and it starts beeping. When I'm done backing up, I fasten my seat belt. I believe there might be much more situations, but here's just one to break your argument..
The current passive 3d tvs use half the vertical resolution. If you are close enough, that shows. If you use the motion enhancing features, that shows too. Shutter glasses aren't perfect either. Even though my TV is a 3D one (for the very small price difference between non-3d and 3d, I decided to get it), I'm not using it much. Perhaps with more usage you can forget about the artifact, but so far I'm not running after 3d movies.
Actually, systematic errors are 'fixed', and this would not be the case for many of the errors listed here. The correct definition for many of them would rather be random errors, as analysing all the ballots again would yield a different result ( if it was only systematic errors, the result of a recount would be the same). In any case, the distribution of errors can be modeled, and a statistical model defining the average error rate can be built based upon previous recounts. It is not necessary to understand what are the errors and specific rates of each to build a statistical model, the results alone can be used to do so. It would be nice to be able to quantify all of the failure modes, but then 'deliberate errors' are quite hard to predict!
What they mean is that even if people 'count' the votes, they make errors in quite a few cases, some votes are not counted because they are lost, misread, forgotten, stuck up in the box, or things like this. Thus, there's a margin of error that they can compute and it's much larger than the 8 votes.
The voltage varies depending on the remaining charge, and is thus a message from the power source telling how much power it has left. Depending on the instantanneous resistance shown from the device, the power source will react instantly producing more or less power (higher current for the given voltage) thus being message sent from the device to the power..
I was merely trolling on the fact that Intel has been doing that longer than AMD has been weak, as they have been using unlock codes for multiple parts for a while. Beside, both AMD and Intel have binned CPUs lower than they could have been as to have an offering in a specific price range. Unlock codes are just a way to monetize those possibilities, and I expect that to grow with time, even if both companies where strong again.
I like your point of view. #1 unlock code is something that's been done a lot of times before (think hardware raids!) but it's somewhat valid nonetheless. Beside, as long as unity100 stops astroturfing, I'll be happy;)
Just as a side note, Steam released games often differ from the 'street release' and are patched to work way better in the recent windows. The patch are often not easily found for the originally bought game. I had a few friends play old games now available on steam, and I can't join them with mine as they were bought on the stand and they just don't work right anymore.. Cheaper to buy back than waste time to get them running.
1: You can buy your new sandy bridge from newegg or such right now, while those new bulldozers are nowhere to be found. 2: Overclocking any chip is bound to require a lot more power than the TDP no matter which one you are using. 3: Dozer's core, as you said, feel like they are dozing on the job..
Side By Side (SBS) encoding is often done with two full quality streams. You can pipe it to two projectors (with polarizing filters) and I know that some TVs can accept the stream too (mine do, at least). I'm not sure on what you meant about the fact that only blu ray devices support 1080p, but I've been running a triplehead setup of 2560x1600 screens since 2007, which makes it 6 times higher in resolution than a 1080p stream. Screen caps are huge, so much that I am not recording much of them anymore.
It's sure that it does not have to be that high resolution for the 3d streams, but it's sure nice to be able to have them. For the headaches & such, the type of projection plays an important role. I have not setup myself with dual projectors, but I believe it's where I'd like to go. Think IMAX at home.
Some people are not bothered by that 900$. Some people will buy the outrageously priced video cards for the limited benefits. You don't need that 80" LCD TV either, but it's nice to have. Shaving 10-15 minutes off my encoding when I want something is nice to have too. Beside, there's much more to be done on a computer that will benefit from this processor. Think about compiling & linking, where the time saved directly correlate to money in the pocket. Not that I would buy this processor, but there's definitely value in it.

Ignorant asshole for being overly cautious of other people / kids / animals when backing out of my garage ? What's wrong with you ?
LOL :)

I arrive home when it's totally dark, and sun's out when I leave, so it's much easier to drive in!

Being the first four, I expect them to be early !
I though it was pretty clear he was going after the lolz of this one!

There has been quite a lot of prototype and working versions, but not by apple..

That's great news! That way, no one will make the error of buying one!
Now, go away.
Sadly, there are too many fanboys just like someone I know.
Or simply, way too low yield...
You forgot to point that the many of the highest performing super computers are using tons of NVIDIA video cards to achieve those performances..

I was actually starting to wonder, and I looked up his recent posts. Definitely the case. Anyway, he's bad at it!
