The point is what you make of it. There is no bigger entity that cares about you, that has a point FOR you. You make your own reasons. Find what makes you happy, and chase it. Family? Making things? Pontificating on slashdot?;) If there's no bigger meaning, you are free to be your own pilot.
It's not 3 words, "all be it", it's a single word, albeit. You're obviously a native speaker, because otherwise you would have understood that difference...
Look at the islands and the lakes. They're crisp at the edges, whereas those islands disappear when you use the incorrect scaling. I wouldn't use the incorrectly scaled image for anything important.
It's cheaper to you than building new roads, and accomplishes a fair amount of congestion relief when properly implemented. Would you rather the cities use eminent domain on anything near a highway and expand them all to 12 lanes?
Yeah. Instead of binary compatibility, Linux has proper, updated, maintained drivers for the hardware. At least, if the drivers were open-source they do. Windows 7 backwards compatibility is required because they don't want to relinquish any control over your system. Linux is able to make massive changes when they notice an old decision was a bad one *cough*win32*cough*, and update everything without worrying about crufty compatibility hacks.
Why can't we use a cell phone as a proxy for this? A lot more people have those, and the vectors for attack go down significantly if the attacker has to both intercept cell communications (hard, but not impossible) and bug the correct computer. Combining the two seems like it'd be close enough to perfectly secure while still being more usable and built on existing infrastructure.
That's because the customers are who lose out in cases of "identify theft". Banks have no culpability, so they don't care so much. If they did, the transactions would be much more closely and securely performed.
Which is why a cell phone is a very good proxy. You have both the cell phone that should belong to you, and you have the login information for the bank. Not a bad system, and much more secure than captchas and such.
Try it with Mario Kart. The scores and everything cleared up quite a bit when I used the component instead of the composite. Make sure you change the settings in your Wii to 480p after plugging the cables in, otherwise you won't see any change.
So... having a humidifier in your house and living in a place where it might get cold means that Apple products are unsuitable for you? I really think they should make that a LOT more apparent, because as it is, it seems a hell of a lot like a bait and switch, where they tell you that you can go have fun with their devices, but forget to tell you that you can't actually have fun with their devices unless you live in a hermetically sealed environment.
How can you even think about defending that practice? I mean, seriously... do you have no self-respect?
So... where exactly do you get any place where you NEVER have noncondensing humidity? I mean hell, I live in Colorado and it's dry as a bone here most of the time, and my glasses still fog up. Putting a clause in a warranty that essentially says "You're not covered if you actually use this device as advertised and intended" is immoral, and I believe illegal in many places.
Pretty much all women need a personality to go along with those attributes listed. Being smart and hairy while being otherwise uninteresting and unengaging isn't really going to get you very far with the ladies.
Sound is even easier. There's no protection on the LPCM streams... just pipe them to a file (over an optical out or whatever), and merge them with the video. Audio isn't affected by the Image Constraint Token (ICT)
Anything higher than the 720x480 that an older CRT will do is high-def. 1280x720 is almost triple the amount of pixels of standard-def video. The definition does not depend entirely on the display device... it depends on the source. Just because you can stretch SD video to your monitor size doesn't make it HD.
Annoying? After getting the media center configured, I don't even have to go search for a disc every time I want to play something now. I just select it from a universal remote. Sure, it's not the easiest thing to do, but you can pay someone to do it for you if you want, and then you no longer have to sit through the asinine 20 minutes of trailers and shit on a movie that you bought, ostensibly to watch the main feature, not forced to watch trailers for movies that have already been released.
I enjoy and appreciate the athleticism. But there's a point that the Olympics is WELL past that it becomes too much about the money, and not the athleticism. The IOC is worrying more about whose engine is in the ice machine than the athletes. I reiterate, fuck 'em.
ATI's in-house Linux drivers have sucked, true. But at least they're throwing support at proper open-source support of their GPUs. If you have an x1xxx or older GPU you get the fastest open-source graphics acceleration available right now. I think the HD2xxx and later chips are going to be supported by the next rounds of mainstream distros, too. There's still not great video acceleration with any open-source drivers, but ATI is working with the community on that. I much prefer that to a binary blob that replaces half of the X rendering stack with proprietary, undebuggable code. That said, I am using a GeForce 210 for vdpau in my media center now, but as soon as the integrated HD3200 can do accelerated decode, it's getting taken back out.
I just bought an HP Envy. That thing chews up games (Radeon 5830, i5/i7 CPU choices), and with the extra slice, it'll go 6+ hours on normal-ish usage, maybe 3+ hours gaming. I can't complain a bit about it. And it's a 15.6", so a bit smaller than yours, as well as being a fair bit lighter.
And people wonder why I boycott the Olympics any more. It's no longer about the athletes or the competition, it's all about the IOC and how they can get more money and control. Fuck 'em.

You wouldn't. But think about your crazy aunt that takes all the horrible pictures of her nieces and nephews... she's the target demographic.

Those cables are well worth it for the Wii if you have an HDTV. All the text and everything is much sharper.

I didn't realize the PS2 played H.264...
I think I still have one or two embedded in the walls of my bedroom...

Welcome to why I watch minor league teams and stuff like lacrosse that isn't horribly twisted ;)

Damn straight it's stronger. I'm finding some files that'll decode great with vdpau that DXVA won't touch. Rather annoying.
