Only a few more months! We get all the eye candy plus some of GT3, plus the insane amount of cars from GT2, plus some new tracks, plus online play. How can a game get any better. Of course, i never did get GT3 up to 100% complete.
Of course this wasn't home users. This was computers on their network. I'm sure some of these computers could be classified as 'home computer', but most are probably much more business like and under strict suppervision. There are probably 100 computers at my company and non have spy ware.
That's true. However, an LCD gives off much less radiation than a CRT, so monitoring it would be much harder. And the amount of bandwidth passing over a DVI connection is so great that it would be impossible to figure out what is being seen by human eyes unless you could tap into said cable.
You're forgetting some of the extra costs. Sure you'll give me a site for $100/month. But who develops the site? Who maintains it? If I read the article right; this guy developed their site, maintained it, handled the administration, provided the hardware, provided the bandwidth, and provided the domain name; for 3 years. Maybe $300,000 is excessive but I don't doubt if you contracted someone to do it for you it would approach that.
I think using an LCD connected via DVI would be fine even if it wasn't encrypted. At the kind of bandwidth that is being passed over that cable, it would be difficult to record even if you were plugged directly in, not to mention how difficult it would be to record from remote monitoring.
If I remember my time in the telecom industry correctly, phones only record and transmit a limited frequency range. The phone tops out at 8kHz. 16 bit samples at 8kHz gives you your 64kb bandwith of the PSTN.
I guess you could define it that way. But I bet most economists and political scientists would not. They would probably define Fascism and Communism as too polar opposites. Since Communism is the extreme end of socialism, fascism is then the opposite of socialism.
Secondly, you are not going to get MS to recompile an MS-SQL for Opteron.
Certainly not for a benchmark test. But since intel and AMD are both supporting x86-64 it seems, I gurantee their will be a x86-64 MS-SQL in the near future.
The only problem is, that CDR's just don't appear to last. They seem much easier to scratch and to feel the effects of those scratches. Even when I take pristine care of them, I've never had one last more than a couple of years. Counter that with the fact that 5 out of my 500 cd's have problems playing due to scratching and those 5 were all bought used (the majority of the damage was done by someone else).
By your definition any digital audio is a lossy format then. While CD audio may not be as pristine as analog, it is the best widespread format we have. Most people here do not have SACD or DVD-A players (by your definition they still would be lossy). Most people here also do not have the funds to build an analog system that truly surpases CD audio (it can be done but not cheap). Therefore, we can say that realistically, CD audio is as lossless as we can get.
Unlike you, I value my CD's. They're great backups. I also value the jewel cases and album art. It is also handy to have a CD to loan to a friend, or to play in car or a home stereo. If I buy from iTunes, I have to take the time to burn CD's. And those CD's I do burn will be inferior in quality. And those CD's won't last nearly as long as my store bought ones (I have 500 cd's. less than 5 are scratched enough to noticeablly effect playing. My average CD-R becomes unplayable in less than 2 years). Plus, with a real CD I'm not tied to a format. I can rip to OGG, MP3, AAC, FLAC (my favorite), or what ever the new format of the week is. For me a CD has much more value than anything I can download. Not to mention my local CD store has better customer service than iTunes. Plust to top it off, they rarely charge me more than $12 a disc, so it's not like I'm saving a whole lot of money by downloading.
I'd have to agree with the other children and grandchildren. They were an 80's band. Front by Front being their definitive work. You could say that Depeche Mode and Duran Duran still had albums after the 80's, but they still are predomenatly 80's bands.
of course the kids books are always a little behind the times. When my little brother was a kid (less than 10 years ago) books still had t-rex walking upright and referred to the 'brontosaurus'.
Not only would it have to wipe out all of a single species, this virus would half to jump from species to species. Almost all the life on the planet went extinct in a short period of time. So this virus would have to affect different species of animals and plants. I find the asteroid theory easier to swallow.
I thought there was a lot of debate about whether or not dinosaurs were cold blooded? Most recent studies I've seen show that many of the dinosaurs had feathers, and most likely were closer to ostriches than reptiles. This means they were just as likely to be warm blooded as cold blooded.

I know you're trying to be funny, but both Air and Daft Punk are from france. Both of those groups have sold millions of records.
But even that is not the case. All the other stores use WMA. Nearly every WMA player will play the DRM'd files sold from the other stores.
He's still wrong. Nearly every player that supports WMA will work with any of the services that use that format.

But try FoodTV. They pretty much have everything, and they're free.

And now you know why criminals, and any one really worried about privacy uses a prepaid phone and switches often.

Unless the law is declared unconstitutional.
Actually I'd call this more fascism. Where the corporations run the government.

but it's a pain. I'd much rather have the real CD. Besides I feel bad throwing away that much shit.
you mean the caucus i went to didn't count?

who modded this up? This is only a rumor if you're wearing a tinfoil hat.
Not wanting to feed the troll, but the number of homicides committed by juveniles actually peaked in 1965.
of course the kids books are always a little behind the times. When my little brother was a kid (less than 10 years ago) books still had t-rex walking upright and referred to the 'brontosaurus'.
