1. The big screen. You can barely see the whole thing without turning your head, especially if you get stuck near the front. 2. People everywhere. They spend all movie talking and kicking your seat. 3. Focus. Because most movies have boring parts. 4. Relentlessness.Because 2 hours is a long time to go without using the toilet. 5. A massive speaker system. Louder isn't always better, and it still isn't loud enough to drown out cell phones. 6. Previews.

Even in a dim movie theater it's hard to get off. 9. 32 ounces of cola in the dark. At least my floors at home aren't sticky. 10. Bragging rights.
Lots of vinyl has been mastered 'better' than CDs. Basically anything in the 'loudness war' that was released on both vinyl and CD will sound better on vinyl, because it won't constantly be clipping (Red Hot Chili Peppers' Californication is an album I can't stand to listen to on CD).
Just because something 'sounds better' doesn't mean it's higher quality. Take a listen to some vinyl, and I think you'll at least be able to agree that it sounds different. If it does sound different, some people might think that it might sound better..
.. is the extra $199 you save by not having to buy a Windows license enough to make up for the frame rate difference if you divert that cash to your video card fund?
And you could start with the motionpie distribution for the Pi, which includes 'motion', a motion detection camera program, and a way to view multiple cameras on one page.
Have you thought about modding the device to add a mic input? If you check the web, someone might have already done it, or the schematic might be available, or it might be obvious if you take it apart.
I thought the whole point of submarines these days was as mobile launchers for nuclear weapons.. Launchers that could be anywhere (not necessarily close to the coast), and therefore harder to eliminate in a first strike.
Well, I'm boycotting any theatre that isn't showing this movie because of a terrorist threat. If they don't want to show it because it's crap, that's fine with me.. But not because of some threat.
So, they've said that they knew something like this was going to happen eventually.. If they knew it was going to happen eventually, they should have planned for it. And, if they were happy with the security measures before, why do they need to change them now?
Let's keep this in context.. One guy, seemingly acting alone, shot a few people. Unfortunately he did it on government land, so the instant response is 'Terrorism'.
One guy (well, two if you count our PM), screwing with our freedoms.
When are people going to stop buying products that they feel the need to jailbreak instead of buying unlocked or open alternatives? Keep rewarding the bad behaviour that you don't like, and you'll just get more of the same, except locked down even better.
Intel Xeon customers can reap higher performance for critical functions without translating the majority of their code to OpenCL or bothering to update it for GPGPU
In other words, to help prevent people from buying AMD and nVidia products.
I'm assuming their modems/routers have a way of provisioning a second IP address so that the wifi hotspot doesn't get you in legal trouble (or steal your bandwidth).
Electric power steering works with sensors on the steering wheel that detect when you turn it, and how much. The car then does some calculations taking into account the force and speed with which you turn the wheel, and the speed at which the vehicle is traveling. It then activates a motor, which actually turns the wheels.
I believe there is an electromagnetic clutch that disconnects the steering wheel from the actual rack and pinion, unless a fault is detected.

Because porn is better when it has been uuencoded, just like records sound better than CDs.

To be fair, we also only vote for one candidate, and don't have any ballot measures.
Speaking of which, I thought it was the pallet that changed everything..

Desalination requires equipment and sometimes energy, neither of which falls out of the sky.
I'm pretty sure energy does fall out of the sky. Some of these desalination plants use solar power.

I'd rather have the $9,230.77 to $10,769.23 a year spent per student. A nice little $200,000 nest egg when I was 16 wouldn't have been too bad.
.. but in the summer?
Who care's if it's light out at 7 AM? I want it to be light until at least 6 PM..
I have Rogers, and have used two modems in the last 10 years, only upgrading to be eligible for faster service..

I'm fairly certain my pfSense box has no video card in it at all to generate heat. It also has 6 ethernet interfaces, all in a nice mini-itx package.

Sorry, I was talking about the electric power steering found on steer-by-wire cars, like the Infiniti Q50.

That way they'd fit into the corner.
