Just want chime in to say Eternal Darkness is awesome. It's the only console game that has ever really grabbed me. There are three different paths to play the game and I played all three, when I rarely bother completing any other game.
Now if this came with a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD burner, it would make sense. Guaranteed they'll have a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD model of this out within 6-8 months.
An HDTV resolution mpeg-4 encoder would make something like this very appealing even without the hd-dvd recorder. It would be really nice to have both the MPEG-4 option for standard DVDs and at least one of the new high-capacity formats.
Here's a guess--to record HD content onto their DVR. Since the box will be hooked up to their HD player, why would they want to record to media anyway?
Because even the terabyte one will eventually run out of space. Also hard drives all eventually crash.
The astounding design and information content of even the simplest living things is at attributed to all sorts of mechanisms and causes, except one: That a superior MIND is the originator of us and all life. Indeed, as you say, life could be common in the universe, but why can it not be attributed to a mind that has made it happen in many places.
You seem to imply that a hypothetical creator is less complex than the self-replicating molecules that led to human life. I would think that this creator would be more complex, and therefore much less likely to evolve or poof into existance, based on random chance. Many people believe in a creator-god from outside the universe, but why would this be more likely than if our universe exists in a larger framework that creates universes due to its natural properties. It seems odd to anthropomorphize whatever force caused the universe to come into being.
Why is it so hard to admit that the order and information content of the "natural" world is the product of a mind just as the products of our modern technological world are conceived in the minds of their creators?
There's nothing to admit. As far as we can tell, our existence is the result of the physical processes of the universe playing out over time.
All of science would still be just as fascinating and useful if that BELIEF were accepted as the cause for the origin of the order, design and laws that scientists seek to explore.
You have a very unusual perspective. I don't know of anyone who is staying free of creationist beliefs to try to make science more interesting. If there was the slightest evidence for mystical beings, scientists would be all over it. We've learned a lot about our world, and the time for creationist beliefs passed a long time ago.

some of us po' folk are working on a vessel that floats on almost any suBStance.
there are rumours that the only real way out is up?
for more clarity, consult with/trust in yOUR creators, transporting us through time/space/circumstance since/until forever. see you there?
Dude, lay off the cough-syrup. I'm worried about you.
I tried earthlink's compression system out of desperation due to my crappy phone line with 14.4 max connection speed. It really does work. Without acceleration the web was completely useless to me. With the accelerator image quality was way down, but pages loaded very quickly. Fortunately I now have a cable modem so this is no longer an issue.
As a side note, ever since then rather than rack my brain over dinner choices, or what to have in my coffee, I've started picking selections at random, or flipping a coin.

That reminds me something I always wanted to ask, what is the point of a 8MB cache? I thought that having a good amount of RAM for the cache would have been more effective.
The large on drive cache is wonderful for digital video. I can capture DV over firewire and write it out to a USB2 drive with an 8MB cache without any dropped frames ever. This wasn't possible with the 2MB cache.

I've played a lot of FPS games, and this is the first ever to give me nightmares.
The realistic graphics, and human enemies take things to a whole new level.
Video games now have the power to move people emotionally even more than film can.
