I would have thought the brain pliable enough to adjust to the vertical separation when calculating disparity between the right and left images.
It is to a point.... 6 degrees is too far vertical.
After a couple of days,
If the 3D image was vertically corrected by 6 degrees AND I looked at it for 3 days then I'd be in for a treat.
I'm sort of an expert, in that I have had dual mono-scopic vision for almost 40 years now.
People without stereoscopic vision who are that way because of large deviations in the angle at which their eyes point will get no 3-D from any form of 3D technology.
Why, well I have 6 degree vertical separation between my eyes, so when both my eyes are open simultaneously my brain has to ignore one of the images to cope.
So it will continue to ignore one of the stereo images even if produced artificially.
Foxtel have actually been pretty blatant in their packaging.
There is about 8 or so good channels, each in its own package along with pretty ordinary offerings.
Many people here like the comprimise idea of a base price for the service + choose for the channels.
I currently pay around $70/month US to get 2 recent movie channels, Two reasonable entertainment channels (Fox8/TV1), three or four other reasonable channels (Comedy, History, Biography). The rest of the 130 channel (advertised) line up is US$4/each 18 month old movies (50 channels), 50 year old classic movies, time shifted channels, 30 audio channels. Add way too many sports channels and I'm paying for around 110 channels I will never watch.
And in anycase in both cases international agreements generally work both ways.
Sure they do, the 300 million US people are going to flock to AU product, no the FTA agreement will swamp AU's culture, markets and laws with US genericism.
The US has already got a DMCA which severely limits the rights of it's denezins, this FTA is now forcing that on Australia.
Seems the AU government is going to great effort to ensure that the US/AU Free Trade Agreement gives Australia as little independance as possible from it's new monarch - the US.
Seems we wont be able to buy DVDs from the US soon to because of all this.
I preferred the trick of replacing the first byte of the Volume label of the hard disk with 0x00. The hard disk looked entirely blank, until you relabled the hard drive (-:
Of course these days they would pick you up and lock you in prison for that sort of stuff.
"This is when it maps out the defective areas of the drive and stores it in the eeprom. "
in the original post, so I'm not sure where you get
"Your information is off. Either you haven't used hard drives for about 15 years, or you are making the whole thing up.
The MBR does not store the bad block information. "

Now listen even more carefully.
No you can't, because if the shop says now, the office of fair trading can't make em do it.
Sad but true.
When it comes to software in Australia, you just can't return it anyway.
This is where Channel BT's preview programs help.
Seven - what were the other three ?
I'm in Australia and still waiting for somewhere to pay for a stack of tracks that have somehow made it onto my iPod unawares.
:(
How long will I be waiting
"Are they going to take the blame if they disable the GPS network, and an oil tanker runs aground, or a plane crashes?"
They could blame all those on terrorists as well...
If slashdot lives up to its reputation, I can imagine that today will not quite follow the usual pattern for the ISC.
I thought Slashdot was aimed at new and recent developments.
Seems that too much Slashdot is old news these days
Anyone who uses Bigpond in Australia knows that hamsters power their central server complex.
Been known about for several years.
Can't imagine it would have any affect at all on my TFT screens :)
When you send an e-mail to my spam address, it replies with a permanent failure and the reason it gives includes my real e-mail address.
I'd like an RFC compliant code to use for this (you know 542 = Permanent failure, spam).
Anyway - send an e-mail to m.harrison@craznar.com to find out my real e-mail address.
By the way - this isn't a bounce, but an SMTP reject.

Sorry no more responses allowed after this, or else I'll sue you for non-literal illiterate literation.
So the hint is - Grapefruit first, then the coffee will all hit you at once.
That's around $1/channel according to your logic.
Even at $10/channel I would be AU$5 ahead. Why - because each package has ONE channel in it that I want.
However of the 70 channels I'll only watch 8 or 9 - so at $10 I'm still $60 ahead.

After all - it would just tell us what he wanted to say, which in many cases would be I don't want to die on the chair.
So you think that the US will accept our rules on region free DVD and similar freedoms ?
Not a chance - the DMCA is travelling ONE way, from the US to AUS and all of the trade and law that goes with it.
