Normal TV video refresh rates are 50~60Hz, PC monitors are roughly 72~90Hz, Ken's simply saying that the PS3 can provide refresh rates up to 120Hz once future HDTV units support such rates.
Sorry to pick on your translation, but the kanji translated to "moving image" DO mean "movies" in Japanese. Movies = moving images, no?:)
10000yen is below 40000yen, 20000yen is below 40000yen, heck 39999yen is below 40000yen. No actual figure is given, still just a bunch of speculative figures.
The blog may be reliable in the past, but with vague figures like that, better take it with a pinch of salt.
Just wait for the bloody announcement to come out from the horse's mouth, THEN start flaming... sheesh...
i mean, 'comon... Micro$oft doesn't manufacture CE devices as compared to their immediate competitor Sony.
IMHO Allard is simply blowing hot air here, not because they can't pull it off or anything, but because he's trying to openly declare M$ is doing it for the consumers "because it's good for them (consumers)". HAH!
Any retard (like me) can see this dick just wanna suckup to "consumers/gamers" by saying: "the Xbox360 will work with many popular CE devices you own, so you have no reason NOT to get an XBox360".
Simple PR tactic, although more subtle than Kutaragi's PR spins. But still alot of hot air, I say. In the end, it's all about Micro$oft's bottom line to push more Xbox360 and make it more marketable.
No words can describe the relief felt when seeing the Space Shuttle launch successfully and the External Tank jettisoned without any hitches.
Now it's just the anticipation for the days to come where the STS-114 crew go about their mission and approach and docking with the ISS.
Wish the entire crew of STS-114 and NASA luck on their mission and their safe return!:)
My opinion is Microsoft is concerned about IE7 not being able to render pages "Designed for Internet Explorer" (which in turn is as a result of shody webpage design using IE-only code), which would end up hurting their own reputation by their own making.
A business decision which comes back to bites them in their own a$$:)
With all the bells and whistles added to today's "web standards", some people actually neglected the fact that the simplest and most "standards compliant" webpages still exist since 1996 and before, and they pretty much still render OK on browsers since then.
Although not practical, I missed the days where simple webpage designs just yielded webpages that "just work" on ANY browser, IE/Mozilla/Opera/Lynx or whatever. *sigh*
a potential cause for the loss of ESA's Beagle2? Maybe it's blown off course during landing, or maybe a chance that a Dust Devil went past the lander right after landing and blew it apart? Then maybe it was torn apart and buried under the sand? It would explain why the lander still couldn't be found, 'cause maybe it's not in one piece anymore.
Considering this discovery, maybe it would be prudent to figure in a method to avoid lander losses should it encounter any Dust Devils DURING the landig process, in addition to protecting against it AFTER landing.
Some sort of new material would have to be developed if it were to withstand constant sand-blasting all year round, considered if Humans are to be sent to Mars for colonisation.
I read they were having some issues finding an appropriate launch site, and Mojave is too far for them to travel all the way from Mesquite, TX.
This looks like a good chance for Carmack & Co. to secure a decent launch site, if Bezos decides to rent out space (no pun intended) to third-parties to launch from their base.
Seems to me this is an adequate punishment for ATI for:
- Trying to (actually, they did) jump the gun and declare support for Valve's HalfLife2 even before it's released, which ended up being they screwing themselves when HL2 got delayed, and;
- Leak the DooM3 Alpha demo
I'm not exactly a fan of either camp, but as far as I'm concerned, they sorta had it coming.
just my 2cents.
with people like him, it's no wonder major software developers want to come up with Product Activation schemes and the likes.
But as it turns out, all it did was manage to help this guy up there (and other like-minded jack-@$$es) get his ego inflated exponentially for all to see.
Sheesh...
considering accessing the Internet by any means on a computer running on any OS (Windozes or Linux or Mac) hasn't reached it's peak yet. How easy is it to just get connected? Hey, it's not just about good ol' US of A we're talking about here... how about the rest of the "World"?
Alright, before you guys start raining balls of fire on me, consider this: How much would it take to setup a computer (PC/Mac/whatever) to establish an Internet connection? From scratch: an OS has to be installed, NIC/modem need to be configured, acquire an account with the local ISP, then authenticate the account to login (except Cable of course).
Even if an Average Joe would be able to get a pre-built Dell/HP/Compaq/whatever box from a local store, it would require them to have an ISP account or, at the very least, a Cable connection. Even then, how many people on the whole freakin' planet has access to Cable???
The day that an "average-non-tech-savvy" user can connect to the Net just by "plugging the cable into the wall" like a TV or a telephone, means the day Product Activation would work the way the "Major Software Developers" would want it to work. The more fuss one has to go through to connect to the Net, the more likely any Product Activation scheme would fail at some point. If getting from point A to point B takes too many steps, for seamless Product Activation, one point of failure is just one too many.
Sometimes it's partly the consumer that's to be blamed for their own high expectations and assumptions. Like many posts before this had stated: USB2.0 mice don't work with High-Speed 480mbps data transfer because there's no need for it to be.
Although one can argue that USB flash drives are marketed as USB2.0 and is "expected" to be High-Speed, but for a certain price bracket it may not necessarily be so.
If the slick marketing box-art doesn't say anything about the product's actual specs in terms of data transfer rate, but the buyer ASS-U-ME that it's on High-Speed USB2.0, then it's his/her own uneducated-guess that made themselves buy something it was never meant to be.
Yahoo! Japan's giving out 26MBit/sec ADSL with Wireless LAN package, with an initial first-3-months waiver... how cool is that... oops... have to wipe drool from my keyboard now...:)

is not simply having to fork out butt-loads of cash just to get a completely new system just for the sake of upgrading a new CPU that doesn't work for an older mobo.
Like myself being stuck with a MSI KT266Pro2 mobo, it couldn't even take a Thoroughbred-A core CPU, so this upgrade can be a plus if I just need a CPU upgrade without having to pay for another mobo upgrade.
Otherwise, it's painful to have to get a new motherboard every single time AMD and Intel attempt to out-do one another by releasing new CPUs with new cores that aren't compatible with older mobos.
Most people would be far better off using the money they spend on the mobo upgrade to get some other upgrades, like RAM or HDD. Then the rest of the system wouldn't be as bad as you said it'd be, would it?
This is utterly pointless. Who cares? Some people do, either for the sake of comparison/analysis or just feeling like taking a jab at M$ for building something cheaper than what they're selling, which DON'T require a mod-chip.
the x-box/Linux thing is not, and has not and never will be about a cheap PC, it about getting Linux to run on something its not supposed to.
Ok, how about the other way around? Building a cheaper XBox from readily available PC parts to run using XBox's firmware bios? To run XBox games 'out-of-the-box' so to speak, just by popping in the XBox DVD disc. Any takers?:) (Of course, bonus M$ Lawyers coming after your a$$ bundled FOC hehe)
as for a $PC $x-box they are different beasts, one has a Mobo that does USB/RS232/Parallel/eth/etc... the other is a 3D accelerator card with a cpu onboard...
How about an AMD CPU on-board an nVidia nForce2 mobo? that would work...:)
Your asking if people can find a substitute for apple juice made from oranges. Not if said apple-juice is made from genetically engineered oranges!
Comon ppl, there's more to BT than just some stoopid PDAs, Notebooks and Cellphones...
How many slashdotters are using "portable" CD/MD/MP3 players with the same bloody irritating wired headphones/earphones?? Can't they be replaced with wireless BT versions? The tech used on players are constantly progressing, but why are we still using the same ol' crappy wired earphone? Also, BT-enabled CD/MD/MP3 players can allow for multiple BT earphones to listen-in to the same songs on the player... NO MORE SHARING EARPHONES! Sony and whoever , are you reading this??? Do something! I wan a BT earphone for my CD Walkman! ^_^
What about applying BT on security cards? (ever played Metal Gear Solid?) Can't it be implemented on non-contact(yeah right) contactless cards so we don't have to bloody tap the !@$#^% thing on the thingamajig next to the door...
What about BT keys for cars? Similar to the implementation on security cards, they can be used for unlocking doors, right?
Now all we have to do is to find a way to make the *ahem* low-power consumption BT devices consume even less power for such low powered apps they get built for (Seiko Kinetic watches, anyone?)
Now, if some of these ideas are implemented, it'll make many ppl happy, yes?
