  1. sony model extant on Toshiba Unveils Laptop With Instant-On TV & DVR · · Score: 1
    GRT-360ZG has had this capability in a 2500 odd dollar laptop for a few months now..

    it does however use sony's odd thumb out tech known as gigapocket, which severly limits the options for third party tv software.

    yes, and what's never been shown (although presumed) is how many times a 'pole' disappeared and gone back to normal..

    there is nothing in either theory that says onces the poles retract, that they can't go back out in the direction they were in.. when the poles invert, it leaves geological signs, it's possible that poles disappear, and rexetend with the same properties as before the retraction, and leave no detectable geological sign

    it's quite possible we face not an inversion of poles, but just a temporary lack of current pole...

    I hate answering such, (ac, flamer, troll, fuckwad, whichever you are) but.
    1- concerning your second inquiry first- I used the capitlization of I, and where else was it needed?
    you do seem to have something of a fetish, to wit- Caps Lock? Shift? do they get capitalized? I think not..

    first part- from reading the blurb box, it only says, sp2 is delayed.. it does not mention anything else... the fact is, I'm not a 'microsoft employee', or 'a winner of some random beta tester contest", or even a IT professional in my career... but I happen to have sp2, merely becaused I looked for it, and microsoft gave it to me.. so, sp2 is out there, if people care to look for it.

    I typed a 80% complete autoexec.bat from scratch, just by letting my fingers go.. I was trying on the way over to the house, (knew what I was going to be doing) to remember all the lines, and couldn't.

    (need a reason to hate a mother in law? I had to load freaking media player 9 for her to watch it)

    the faxt is, the bandwidth is there.. yer average tv has 300 scan lines? blown up across the entire tv? if you expand markiza to full screen, it looks like crap- pixellated and blocky... but at 320X240 or so, it's very detailed, only to small to see well..

    it's not quite there to play video over broadband at the requirements of a computer monitors resolution, but I firmly think it exists at television resolution today...
