Anyway, no, over 30 fps aren't "lost", your eyes will probably never be the limiting factor, the refresh rate of your screen will be, I don't remember how many but I think it was over 200 FPS which where tested on pilots and there where seeing something with a plane for ONE frame and they could still identify the plane. Movies as 24 fps only look decent because they have a lot of motion blur in them. you might think that 30 fps is "decent" but then 60 fps will give you a smoother ride, and for someone who play a fast FPS more higher fps with more up to date information and delivered faster will have an advanted (Thought then people prefer 100Hz+ CRTs for most of those games, such as CS, because the physics engine gives better advantages at 100 Hz than lower ones and the input lag on some TFTs may be over 60 ms.)
Back when I bought my DVD-player I had no idea whatsoever about HD. But then I live in europe and we where very slow to catch on. No HD-love for us, now a lot of people probably buy a HD-ready display thought, just to watch SD-content on...
What's your point? Only talking about the thickness of the polycarbonate layer or something else like error correction or something? I know blu-ray had a much slimmer protection layer but I where under the impression that it was hardened somehow so it wouldn't be much of an issue?
But then again I remember stories about how someone during the birth of the compact disc walked around on them lying on the floor, and well, we all know how good storing your discs on the floor are, not very:)
Well, on my Athlon64 3000+ with an 6800 LE Ubuntu can't be installed from the live/install CD they provide since once it enters graphical mode nothing happens at all...
So much for not graphical installers, Debian worked fine (and I only needed the OS to read Solaris UFS and write OS X HFSX+ so old packages didn't bothered me aslong as the kernel where 2.6.16 or newer.)
I assume Vista would get its installer running on my machine;D
It's been for long, the motherboard started to burn so the machine is dead, it was quite boring anyway:D
(I only posted "intresting stuff" and not diary kind of stuff, but I don't know how useful it where for other people anyway, also I decided to write in swedish instead of english for most stuff.)
Well, except backup storage which are easy to use it offers e-mail and jabber (i think) which isn't worth much, space for a blog, webpage, podcast, photo album,.. in a way which is easy to use. It also let you share your calendar info with others.
The option "use entire disk" only sets it to one slice on the whole disk, you can still partition it in any other way if you want to, but just make no b-partition if that is what you want, or make one first and set a for whatever the rest is.
It's quite simple really, you first create a BSD slice, which is what you would call a partition in MS-DOS, then inside that one you put your partitions using disklabel. Partition a is always the root partition, b is always swap, c is the whole BSD slice, d is the whole disk, e-z is whatever you want them to be.
And you could always let it use the whole disk if you want to.
Seriously first time I read thru it I read it like 10GB/month or so, 10GB isn't much, even less so with videos, why can't Apple help people set up their own.mac service? Yeah I know, because they want to make money of it, but anyway.
Also.mac should have a free version for everyone with a mac.
Yeah, you have the solution to this problem already, just implement "hardware" firewalls outside your home. The problem is just how to make sure noone "finds an open port", atleast it would look cool (Also in the case of a bank it would show where they are from.)
And how is online rts not "random" enough? Often I do the "expected" units until I notice what the others have and switch, but sometimes I make something very unexpected just for fun and how doesn't that add to randomness?
Though I always play team games and never solo which increases the amount of weird things you can do and still survive. Going for a unit which is very unexpected/"bad" in a solo game isn't all that great =P
Sure doing the right units helps, but a skilled player can use "wrong" units vs someone less skilled and still win, also attacking and expanding at the right moment and so on makes a difference aswell. And of course in the case of wc3 having the right unit type hit the enemys right unit type and/or decide if it's worth focusing heroes or not will make a difference aswell.
Also when people don't scout you can pull of very unexpected things such as only massing siege tanks or something.
Also in say WC3 I read somethere that as ud vs orc if ud had head hunters (piercing) ud should go ghouls (melee) which is logical, but if the orc switched to grunts (melee but much harder than ghouls) the ud should switch to fiends (piercing) which to me doesn't make sense since fiends takes extra damage from normal attacks and do less damage vs medium armor, but for some reason that should be the right thing to do where I expected keeping to ghouls (or higher tier units) would be better.
Someone care to explain why? I guess it might be because fiends are ranged and you can move them around a lot so the grunts never reaches them but what do I know.
Oh that would suck, the good part about WC3 and so on and the reason I actually BOUGHT the title is that it's worth buying because it doesn't cost a fortune.
I really doubt sc2 would use subscription thought, it's not like it's a huge title with lots of updates, is it?
Uhm, using thermal energy you are just moving the heat and also waste energy for the compression so how does that help with global warming? Or well, maybe a little compared to just use electric heating or whatever and maybe the heat from homes/air radiates out to space more.
Anyway I'm not sure I like the idea about tapping heat from within the earth, I guess there is plenty and won't matter but if it does do we really want a much cooler planet? =P But maybe that won't happen.
But the refraction index tells how much the light is bent when it travels from one medium to another, but if the light is already in the atmosphere it wont bend at all. It do bend of when it go from vaccum to air thought (if what you tell is correct), which is why the sun could be seen.
Yeah if he where correct we would already be able to see cities far away using binoculars over the atlantic or whatever if there wasn't anything high in the way. From mount everest the whole world would be viewable in all directions, even oneself!:D

If I remember it correctly the 433MHz or something CPU (PPC) of the Genesi Efika uses around 1 watt aswell.
A whole moderboard with that cpu and 128MB ram is very cheap.
You didn't mean 120?

I guess in the end we will end up with both formats, just like with DVD+ and -.
:)
Great, paying for two licenses always rule! Because one open one wouldn't do!
What was chinas next-gen format called now again? I would assume their players will be cheap

You are much more likely to hit the limit of the number of fps the screen can show than what the eyes can see.
Uhm, no Internet connection? Where do you live?

All my much older webpages are dead since long.
Didn't know that, what kind of apps/games?
;D
Isn't all software free anyway?

What? It takes 10-15 minutes to install and 2 to turn it into a dhcpserver? Check the FAQ.

I guess that would be the top secret Leopard features left out in WWDC 06 keynote.

If I remember it right they max out at 72 watt for 8 cores running 8(?) threads each.
