    or that surprise gunshot after minutes of dialog... like the scene where Mel is talking to the operative in the tea house and the operative says "I'm completely unarmed" then "BLAM!!" yea, that will wake kids up.. fucking blu-ray disk comes with 90 different languages, but not one low dynamic range English track.

    I hear the good receivers can do this for the digital audio already. I know some of the really really good analog ones could as well. They usually label it something like "nighttime mode" or something similar. I wonder how much processing power is needed to do audio compression...

    and doing ipv4 to ipv6 to ipv4 seems like a dumb idea. Now my WII and PS3 both do not support ipv6. I'm not sure if mediatomb(upnp server) does or not.

    If my router could get an ipv6 block from my ISP (qwest) and my router(linksys wrt54g v8 with ddwrt micro) supported ipv6 and my router could do the ipv4 to ipv6 "NAT"ing I'd move to ipv6.

    All of the real computers in the house all support ipv6, so bring it on.

    a raid 5.1 of 10k rpm sas drives say, 12 spindles, should be enough. maybe 4 500GB SSDs would be as well.

    it's not the speeding ticket(the reason he was pulled over in the first place) that was dismissed. It was the wire tapping charge, for wearing a head mounted camera that was. If you remember this was the plain clothes off duty cop that cut the motorcyclist off, then got out of his car with is firearm drawn, and shouted "hand up and get of the motorcycle slowly" a few times and then finally said "get off the bike state police" all while having his badge mostly covered by his shirt. The motorcyclist admitted to speeding/reckless operation of a motor vehicle. Anyways, no it wasn't a "ticket" that was overturned.

    If i ask the court to look as i feel the plaintiff feels contrary to the suit IRL. So I ask the court to look on facebook to see if he/she has been posting contrary to their position on court. The court looks at my reasons for wanting that information, and in this case decided to let me "discover" what is there. Seems fine to me. Don't be claiming you are injured in court and then brag that you are sueing some guy in court over your paper cut on FB.

    hehe i have a AMD-athlon X2 2300BE (before BE was black edition and was the marker for low power) in an AM2 uatx motherboard. Its time for an upgarde, but i'd like to move to mini-itx, and there is only 1 am3(95w max) mini-itx board with a pci-e slot in it and it used so-dimms. AMD needs to make one themselves, AM3(125w), regualr ddr3 slots, PCI-E 2.1.

    IT's a shame because there are a few decent h55 based ones for intel.

    p.s. i should look at OCing my 2300+ X2
