They still do -- the room with the big display is for secure remote communications. The little video phone moments are product placement moments between team members.
Agreed completely. I get it when "Settings" gets replaced with a gear icon. That's pretty standard now, and "Settings" is pretty long to put on a button, but on a touch interface I don't get to hover over icons to see what they're called like with a mouse, so a good description or help interface needs to exist.
I have a shiny CRT screen (glass) and a matte projector screen, both HD, both linked up to the same sources, and I find the projector version much clearer in almost all scenarios. The reflective glass simply is not helpful no matter what they say.
I'm pretty sure you'll find that the people who made DR DOS disagree with you on that, but those of us who remember these events remember them happening before software patents were valid at all.
I noticed (as did many other people) that game developers only started taking advantage of multi-core CPUs on the desktop once console programming also required it. The big huge console gaming target is a good way to push developers into supporting new technologies.
There's a reason that Linux runs similar games faster than Windows, and for that matter, a reason that Microsoft invented DirectX. The OS is a huge overhead and a pain for games. Getting it out of the way so the game developer can have closer access to the hardware is a big deal.
In a console where users expect real time voice communications while gaming while downloading said game, you need to dedicate some processing power to handling tertiary issues and that's harder to do an a general purpose OS without waste.
"1080p is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution[1] and progressive scan, as opposed to interlaced, as is the case with the 1080i display standard. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a resolution of 1920×1080" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p
So technically its 1080p just for having 1080 vertical lines of resolution (although yes, i can see how 384x1080 would be pretty silly).
The coffee was only mildly hotter than any other coffee served, and the woman in question acted very unsafely with that coffee. I read the case quite carefully when it happened.
You did actually read the article you linked and noted the bit about how since the drivers are closed-source and not managed by Google that they *can't* update the CDMA devices themselves?
I watch Top Gear all the time because its funny and entertaining. If you don't watch it, how would you know they purport to be reviewers?
At which point during the conversion of a car to a boat or when a car was welded upside down on top of another car did you think "oh gee, these guys are serious car reviewers."
Hell, even their whiteboard of lame vs cool cars is entirely wishy washy and based on personal opinion (out loud). Their best times are done by a driver they obviously *lie* about to make the character more interesting ("Some say he... ").
Top Gear is not a review show and Saturday Night Live doesn't actually have a news segment.
Slashdot Mirror
They presumed a thinking public perhaps?
I know, clearly their error lol
All the PNG icons and graphics on your website perhaps?

Agreed ... all of the above.

Yes, because we've always felt these were valid here on Slashdot:
Patents 5,579,517 and 5,758,352, issued in 1996, "relate to implementing both long and short file names in the same file system,"
Wow. FUD. On Slashdot. I thought we were against that.
Yawn. Get a lower ID before speaking for the rest of us.
Haven't seen a PC game that got me engaged like Naughty Dog's Playstation games since the old Another World style ones.
Sure, my PC's perfectly capable but nobody's writing story-driven beautiful sounding beautiful looking games for the PC that aren't buggy RPGs.
Yes, I'm looking at you Bethesda.
Last I checked, the PS3's DRM survived attacks for the vast majority of its lifespan, which is exactly what they were selling to developers.

Except Intel does own the letter 'i'
... which makes no point other than to support that of the GP.
Your history lessons obviously missed all the law-breaking events that have made America what it is today.
Python's been published since 1991 ... his hosting company bought python.co.uk in 1997.

Not to mention Gran Turismo 5 which does 1080p/60fps/3D

You read that, right?
Blaming a TV show for idiots being idiots is like accepting that suing McDonald's for serving hot coffee is right.
I'm against both. If you're that stupid, just be humble about it and bow out.

Its an *entertainment* show. If you watch Top Gear to help you choose your next vehicle, you're an idiot.
