I have an R200 and I am pretty happy with the results I get. Very professional looking and unlike labels you never have to worry about bubbling or peeling.
So, you're excited about being deflowered by a woman that is partly artificial, has ugly stretch marks from over-sized fake boobs, appears better looking in marketing campaigns that she actually does in real life and has a perfunctory view of sex? Yeah, that sounds about right.
I know a lot of media companies seem to like Quicktime, but I think that's because they are probably Mac based. On Windows QT is unstable no matter what audio/video CODEC is used. I'd go with one of the MPEG standards because everyone can play those.
Once again, and I know this has bee stated on/. before, the QWERTY keyboard was NOT designed to slow typists down. Here is an article that explains it in more detail - http://home.earthlink.net/~dcrehr/whyqwert.html
It just baffles me how many time bullshit can be submitted and accepted. I won't be switching to any other keyboard soon as it has taken me years to move from a hunt and peck to a half-assed touch typist. Not only that, but I love my MS Natural Pro and most ergo boards are either so far from a standard keyboard that it's like learning a musical instrument or just have a wrist rest. So, in conclusion no Dvorak and no 53 key keyboard for this guy.
This article is hype and air. Remember how the Emotion Engine was going to change the fabric of space and time? This guy was full of crap the first time this article was posted and nothing has changed. Seriously, why does/. post this crap? Someone from another board put it this way - His theory about reducing latency by transferring in larger block sizes is fascinating. So an articulated lorry should go around corners faster than an Elise because it has more wheels then? Okaaaay.
I appreciate the suggestions, but it's just not worth the hassle at this time. I've alaways been diligent about what sites I go to, what I download and what I allow to run in my browser. Combine that with my AV and firewall and I've never really had any issues. If it comes to the point where it is an issue I'll switch, but I'm not anti-MS (not really pro-MS either) so I see no reason to adopt FF just for the sake of doing it.
Sure, but it doesn't change the end result for me. I doubt my bank and the app makers are going to spend much time or money to make 5% of their customers browsers work.
Why would you use a general purpose CPU like this for a GPU? You'd get far more mileage out of dedicated hardware and even if the API hid everything it would chew cycles to translate what would be native on a GPU.
You are missing on very important point. How many gamers are going to allow their spare cycles to be used for something like that? The vast majority will be offline and those that are online will be turned off after the gaming is over like any console.
Not sure how it's a pain. I get a free virus/firewall/privacy suite from my ISP. I installed it and it does the work for me. Every week or so I run Adaware and Spybot.
How can they count users? If you IP changes does that count as a different user? AS for the MS pop-up blocker blocking pop-ups you click to open I assume you know this first hand? It never blocks my clicked on pop-ups. I'm not a newb and I haven't had spyware or viruses for years because I watch what I am doing and maintain my system. No browser is going to protect ignorant users. So, keep your pity to yourself please.
Some of the financial sites I use won't accept FF and some software I use needs IE as well. I may switch to FF if this changes, but right now it's just inconvenient to switch back and forth all the time.

If I was going to get something like this I would probably go this route so I would be able to run my exisitng software - http://www.openlabs.com/
Korg isn't the only one running Linux for audio hardware - http://www.museresearch.com/receptor_overview.php
Being in audio I don't really see the advantages of systems like this over a good PC, control surface and a MIDI keyboard. That is unless you are using it for live gigs.
Last time I checked you could use Mac OSes or Linux or Unix or any number of devices to send/recieve email and manage contacts. How does MS have a monopoly on this?
What happens if a law liek this passes? Does it make anyone that makes any program capable of transfereing data liable for it's use? Why is it not okay to go after gun companies for making guns that are used in crimes, but it's okay to do this? The logic of the US lawmakers that are in the pockets of big entertainment is just baffling.
This games has been out since September 2004. Why on earth is this review being posted here? Why does this review get posted over the thousands of others that probably get submitted?
Well, DirectX is more than just a graphics API so you'll have to be more specific. Most PC game makers these days use Direct3D and I don't think it's because they are forced to. So, draw your own conclusions.
Hey, it's Mac, it's Wired, it's got to be in and trendy right? After all, this wouldn't be another pointless Mac story on Wired that gets echoed on Slashdot, now would it?

Off-topic? I was drawing a parallel between the reality of pron and the reality of hype marketing.

Sorry, misunderstood. This is the suite I am using http://www.zeroknowledge.com/en/ andit manages cookies based on my settings.

Well, my security suite cleans the cookies as soon as I close my browser so that wouldn't work too well with me.

Do you have a URL or some other proof of this? Jitter is important, but it doesn't speak to overall frequency response.
Might as well get one of these - http://www.openlabs.com/products/product_info-neko series.htm

It's the tech version of the newprint rag that we all laugh at. Does anyone take them seriously?
