Who couldnt make HDTV rendering 3years ago, make it a 1080i mpeg2 file and most 2ghz PCs could play it, or dual cpu boxes.
If you are that hard up on cpu cycles, then even MPEG2-IFRAME, ie M-JPEG, ie 25fps JPEG stills could easily do HDTV in 2001 CPU power. Since jpeg decoding is so fast.
Sure you would do only 10-20min on a dvd, but enough for a demo, and on a 20gig HD, easy to do a movie - resampled/digitized from a real print into full 1920x1080i or 1376x768 if your cheap.
So all these HDDVD demos could have been done 3-4 years ago on a CRT, or expensive ass LCD/projector.
Yes, the software layer is more effort for the VM, but jeeze guys, get the managers of their ass, it could have been speced/designed in 1998 - just use flash if your cheap on r&d, or java like mobile phones.
Yeah right. I can see the dogs sniffing 2000000000 dvds
People will import till theres no tommorow, and if the 'sniffing' gets too much, they will download.
Get a clue, you cannot fight the will of the people. Your job as a 'enforcement agent' with stupid K9s is a farce Its not a real job, you do not contribute to the GDP and anything meaningfull. Did you code a game ? did you make music, or do graphics, or drive a fork lift? no.
Time to wrap dvds in beef jerky sense.
Get a clue enforcement people. Its all 'perceptions' and we know it. If X person loses a box of dvds due to confiscation then that said person will just try again or download the copies, you cannot win against the populace, no govt ever has, eventually the people power wins.
1. usa has 1283 financial companies each wanting their own webserver app implementations, - 2000 jobs 2. E-Europe, uses 3 companies - 5 programmers.
So whats more efficient?
Personally I find financial web applications utterly boring. 20000 apps all doing the same thing!!!! Try coding a photoshop clone, thats effort. Or a finalcut clone or an embedded device that has a built in webserver service thats hand coded not done via ASP/PHP.
Stupid Corporates, is australia delayed by 1000 days?
Shipping time from Singapore is shorter, and flight time for 2 747s worth of 25000 consoles is trivial, but will they do it? No!!!
They are lame assholes. Money talks, ie bribary talks, if you wont cush up 6* hotels and hoockers to the sales managers, they wont deliver.
Sony's PS2 only was good because of sooo much hype, they were lucky with PS1, they had to be, it was their first shot they had to doooo their best, and psygnosis coders helped them, after all, ex-amiga dudes, not long after amiga died.
Now its 2006 and well, 10 years after amiga died, a new world.
Price wise - electronics is supposed to be cheaper, not more.\\
A $600PC in 1996 only did so much, a $600 PC in 2006 does so much more. So do the comparison of silicon to a console.
If you want mass sale from students and tenners parents, price it right, ie no more than 3 weeks of 20% weekly wages added up.
Inflation may be at X, but wages growth has been at 1/2 inflation for most common folk, except professionals, which can afford all 3 systems.
Your pc wouldnt be here if it wasnt for metals from mines.
And the electronic companies charging 900% market arent scum? Where as gold miners HAVE TO SELL their gold at spot price, not 900%. The sell price is fixed, your margins are determined by your mining efficiency and labour and stupid local govt whores+taxes.
its all lawyers who have nothing to do who are looking to fill their timesheets to earn more $$ to get those bonuses to buy that new BMW or 6bdroom mansion.
All they have to do is request the website licence the content, for a one time fee for $1 per page per article.
Done.
No dilution, just b2b and because its private/contract no one knows that it was $1.
While maintaining its No. 1 position worldwide, Dell's share fell to 16.5 percent from 16.9 percent in the same period last year, Gartner Inc. said. Nevertheless, Dell shipped 10.2 percent more PCs worldwide in the first quarter than a year ago.
Worldwide shipments totaled 57 million units, a 13.1 percent increase from a year ago. Most regions performed as expected, except for the U.S. PC market, which exceeded projections due to strong home desktop demand, Gartner said. Lower prices drove U.S. demand.
If you can afford 42" then you can afford a special 'card' that has that special 'new-standard' thats rare.
Why bother making a standard support something that only 1% of people willuse when they can just buy that extra $150 card that supports the 3000x2000 42" res using some uber custom special dual/tripple dvi hybrid.
If there is a volumetric shape, there is a center

One Big Bang, Or Many?
·
· Score: 1
If the big bang 'exploded' ie, it went in opposite directions, as a traditional explosion, ie a nuke or supernova, then it goes from volume X to volume 10X and so on. Now it must have a shape, as its volume is changing. Or is it octopus shaped?
If they say galaxies are moving away from each other, then geometrically there must be a vague center, otherwise some will be going towards each other chaotically and some away.
Maybe the far far universe beyond 15 or 100billion years ago is so far red shifted its in the 1000nm range of 'light' where its not visible so it has to be artificially blue shifted-compressed to see it. Maybe we just have to get the background 'noise' in near IR range and compress the values and 'shift' them up to visible light and 'render' on the screen and presto we can see further - in a very blury way.
BOOT, windows will most likely be happy, and reinit its drivers. It worked for me, moving from MS-SIS chipset to a MSI-intel chipset (478) Yes im behind, not even the newest MBs, but its still decent. By the time I need to upgrade at end of '06, there will be better stuff available or current stuff cheaper.
simple = no features, ie. your lazy to spend hours learning, now how many hours have you wasted learning bash scripts or stupid linux kernel compile options? Simple ? NOT Cheap = Ok so you're very poor earning 3.99/hr, dont forget 6months later it will be 30% cheaper. More than enough time to save $400 at $2.50/day Batt Life - are you that remote on mountain treks that you cannot recharge using a USB charger at work, or wall charger at work/home daily? (btw I want a phone to warn me optionally in its config X hrs before 5% power LOUDLY, "OI JUICE ME UP")
Can you talk on this phone? It fullfills one of your needs.
When rapture comes and oil is at $500/barrel and gold at $10000/ounce. The rich and powerfull will suffer.
Mass rioting and burning of mansions and govt houses. Jail will be the safest place then.
Ever watch Mike Moores 911? Bottom line is , the comclusion I got is that a lot of americans including the ones making decisions are real really truly clinically insane, and just are real power trip control phreaks.
Too much drugs in the 60s and none today? Or just never had any?
Just let chaos reign, let nature do its randomness, no one person or govt can control society, it will break down and shit all over you if you try. And then you will be dead and so will the whole familty line like the Tzars.
Hitler used the latest american technology of punchcards and crude databases to keep track of all citizens to find out who was rich or poor or jew or gay.
Ironically, in the pre 30s days, it was the church who helped willingly to give the nazis all the birthrecords for everyone. Bastards.

I bet its a webcam 640x CCD in the controller.
Each player has a live link to the system at 15fps.
If eye toy is so popular , imaging it inside each controller, and CCD/webcams are dirt cheap now.
What else could you possibly think of thats cheap and cool and visible?
unless it prints US dollar bills , nothing.

Just because this quarters revenue is up 50% doesnt mean 3 years down you will be even around!!
Look at altavista!!! tiny pie
I used a cool trick.
Uninstall the IDE drivers to generic MS ones.
Shutdown, do not boot.
Swap HDs/MBs etc... to new system.
BOOT, windows will most likely be happy, and reinit its drivers. It worked for me, moving from
MS-SIS chipset to a MSI-intel chipset (478) Yes im behind, not even the newest MBs, but its still

Paint the foam black, it gets warmer faster in the suns shine
Also have some giant IR radiators spot lights to warm it up any way.
use some genetic bio paint that doesnt freeze
They can always ship them to hong kong and sell them on the pirate black market for $2/copy.

and where a tshirt that says, "DMCA = DEATH" , "CON-gres MOFOS did it." "Piracy Rulez"
in the 80s, best stuff was spearheaded and driven by geeks making stuff with zero managerial
DECISIONS!!
same goes with the 90s and 00s
Hence, get a clue managers, let engineers be creative, let them do their shit, look at XBMC.
In a commercial world we have managers dictating via marketing depts what features are worthy.
Start another country, leave usa, or come to australia.
Or let the predictions of ww3 come about and let nuke war destroy the evil people, along with 90% casualties.
Start saving all material/knowhow/knowledge now!!!, Both to CDs, HDs, Paper copies.

I got a $50 mp3 player that supports SD slot.
Now if its smart to do >1gig I dont know, but if they can make SD cards with 2gig + , why
not add that to the ipod too.
Lots of phones now support SD slots and can play mp3 too.
Maybe apple should team up with LG to make a iPodPhone
