Seeing as how cable channels do not fall under as strict FCC revisions as the standard broadcast set, I would say that they can take their sweet time to get there.
Considering that it's owned by NBC now, that they'll slowly grind their wheels towards HDTV support at some point in the future.
Check out the definition of consume on dictionary.com
2. To purchase economic goods and services: "a society that consumes as fast as it produces."
You buy something, it is a consumable object. You don't have to eat it or smoke it to become this. It only has to be something you can absorb. Listening is as much absorption as reading or watching TV.
seeing as how I don't own a lexmark printer, nor do I care to, I'd say buy someone elses printer if it upsets you so.
They're hardly your only option for printing supplies and manufacture, and it's their product. Why shouldn't they be entitled to profit off of their products?
Simply put, if you don't like it, buy it from someone else.
If the company of original manufacturing is making a quality product, I don't believe it's in another businesses place to rip off that original company of their hard work just to undercut them by a few dollars. There are people who have worked hard to provide those products, with lots spent on R&D to ensure a quality product, and just as good after sales experience with this same company, and you'd rather support a business looking to profit off the backs of others hard work?
It's not hard to THINK up stuff on your own you know.
You look at the success that Apple has had with this, and this seems to be a logical analogy.
The fact that I can (by my OWN logic) come to this analogy on MY OWN, says to me that apple has infact found themselves in this situation and they are doing what the Hen did, and it was all to the Hen's benefit.
Or is there a resolution to the Hen's story? The hen didn't share, so the hens "friends" called up a senate subcommittee claiming unfair "food" distribution that was anti competitive?
And resulted in people who could care less one way or the other getting to dictate to the hen about who she has to share her bread with.
(BTW, I OWN 2 ipods, and I'd like to have them supported by my freedom of choice, ITMS)
There's no force here. You've got some delusion that Apple's making a workable and popular device for mp3s means that they have to surrender all their IP to anyone that wants a slice of their cake?
This is a clear model of the "Little Red Hen" at work here.
http://www.bres.boothbay.k12.me.us/wq/nnash/WebQue st/little_red_hen.htm
Apple gets to eat their bread.
If you sold someone a product that uses consumables in it, wouldn't you like it if they continued to rely on you and your services to provide a good experience for them?
Buy an iPod, download your music from itunes. What would apple do to a ipod purchaser that was happy with their purchase that would justify dumping apple to go with a company that has never really supported or endorsed apple in the past?
I'm not a fan boy, but good customer support, reliable hardware, and the fact that paying a decent premium for hardware nets you reliable hardware, makes Apple a good decision all around.
It's got me considering buying a mac PC as my next box because of this.
Real has taken some bizzare guerilla tactic against a company THEY have determined is the problem factor that needed correcting. (ie hacking Fairplay)
I have no issue with Apple's tactics of keeping their format, player, and store closed for just them.
As long as Creative and Sony keep their smaller markets kickin' Apple's not approaching a monopoly on this... If this approaches this front, how unfortunate is it for the competitors that they have to rely on moving physical media (ie brick and mortar) to peddle their wares?
It's not Apple's fault that they have one of the least restrictive DRM's on the market. That's their thing going in their favor to being a market leader.
Screw real. They want to muck up Apple's fantastic plan with a brand that has SOOO many negative connotations to it, that it seems unfair in my eyes to Apple to have to put up with this.
What's the thought process that AVID can even compete with Shake or Combustion or Digital Fusion, et al?
These are totally different products with a different end result.
Macs have their place in compositing and effects, but I'd wager a good deal more people are using discreet Infernos, Flames, and Smoke machines to do these "movie effects" than you'd see a Shake.
I can't tell you how many features and commercials I see that have been made on a discreet machine over an Apple. Apple's tend to get more press for it, because they've got the ad budgets for it, and Apple tends to think they need more press for stuff like this to further their user base.
hit up discreet's website and check out their client demo reels. You'll see more than just LOTR's as a demoreel. http://www.discreet.com
Just cause New Line and Apple pimp out their system rigs to a end user on the DVD's doesn't mean that everyone uses it, or that this or another configuration is the only solution that they use.
Graphics houses usually have several solutions to their work. Shake is usually the option of choice if they're doing simple compositing with TONS of placements of things in the shot (like the battle of pelinnor field in ROTK)
It's not a titler (like motion seems to be) with particle animations. It's not a bunch of presets. It's laborious work to make a composite work properly.
If not for the fact that Apple's got so few choices for uncompressed video capture, I'd consider getting one.
But motion's not for me. If it had some actual controls and not a preset list, and had 3D integrated into it, it'd be a runner for AE and combustion, but it holds no candle (nor will it ever) to Digital Fusion or an Inferno.
There's an ATI fix floating around on a board somewhere...
It's mixed as it working for people.
Although it seems to work for many, on my system, when I applied the fix to the code, rebooting to the game, I had lost all textures on ALL surfaces, and could only see lighting sources and my weapon's indicator readout.
BACK UP YOUR FILES before attempting...
I'm glad I did.
Does Darl think that they'll drop their countersuits at this news?
Like a sociopath moving into a hippie commune
"We're not crazy anymore... We've changed! We love everyone now. ALL BETTER!"
This might have something to do with the fact why I'm going to see them twice in a weeks time.
Consistently good music, good shows, good people. And they're from New York too... Figure that one out!
I've seen them 6 times previous to this weekend, and I'll continue to go until I die or they breakup. They're that good of a band.
And as well, in the last 3 years, their last two albums have been among the small selection of major label artists that I have liked enough to buy and support.
BTW- Their newest album is a good as their others, and it's a steal on their website. 23 tracks for $12.99. AND the album is in unDRM'd 256 Kbps MP3...
I dunno. I don't want a giant keychain collection like I have now with DVD's... I'll have to get one of those keyrings with the retractable cord, and then I'll just look like someone's janitor, instead of a cinephile...
They said it was going to be like 2064 before the PS9 was coming out right?
That's what the TV ads from 3 years ago told me. That and the (PS9) console was an implant...
Seriously, I'm disappointed that no console outside of the portables has tried an innovation pushing on how we play games.
All these consoles for the last 20 years have been tied to a TV. Only the GB/A/SP, The Nomad, and Virtual Boy have tried to innovate in these areas.
I'd seriously consider buying a console that made some intelligent use of the 3D computer montior technology that's out on PC.
Console manufacturers are too reticent to try something like this, but that'd be a true innovation over the current generation, without a loss on graphic capabilities.
Yes, and JR's ranch is nearby as well. idiot... The last time I wore a cowboy hat and boots was in OKLAHOMA when I was in boy scouts.
Actually, if you want a clear vision of what grapevine looks like...
Imagine... A giant, garish discount mall, DFW airport, multitudes of ugly car dealerships and chain restaurants, a VERY dirty Cinemark theater, oh, and Gamestop.com's shipping warehouse...
And no, if you stay at the Gaylord, you won't get your copy of Doom3 any faster... Gamestop's warehouse does NOT accept visitors.
But, you can visit Southfork Ranch, as seen on Dallas. It's in lovely dirt field filled Parker, TX. Just exit I-75 at Parker Rd. in Plano and head east. It's about 20 minutes off the highway. In the middle of nothing. Enjoy.
I'd like to know where Texas of all states picked up this stupid ass connotation of cowboys. You're just as rarely and as likely to see someone matching this description in NM, NV, UT or CO than TX.
But if you truly want me to break tradition, I'll be the one waiting outside of DFW airport for you in a soccer jersey and a cricket bat.:)

As one of the most boring games? As seen on SLASAHDOT http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/01/ 0146233&tid=127
Me thinks this means it's not multiprocessor enabled.
I could be wrong though.
Is that Real is willing to sacrifice their DRM in favor of reencoding it and potentially opening the track up to a unDRM'd state.
This could create a market for hacked RM files on P2P trades. Good job Real.
And that supoena over there? That's from Apple.
They didn't appreciate the threat from 3 months ago.
First guy guaranteed to not get laid all this weekend.

What browser is it that script kiddies and virus writers using if not Mozilla? I never would have conceived of them going after someone that's NOT MS.
So what, should I switch to Lynx? or is there an undisclosed hole in that too?

If he's busy working on THX, then that means people are thinking independently on what to do on Episode 3.
Everytime george wasn't in command, we got decent films.
And we'd all rather him be busy on a less liked film (sorry THX fans...) or "More American Graffiti" (Sorry, you one MAG fan...)

Avid for your old discreet machine/Apple workstation
Matrox wanted people's old editing cards for a nice $300 (30% off) discount on their new one.
This is a common practice. Although, I don't see this being a blockbuster promotion.
I, for one, will keep my ipod. I don't have any way to play my AAC files on a Dell DJ.
Plus the DJ's interface looks nasty compared to my pod.
