You can have your opinion. On reading the AVSforum, however, there seem to be a lot of people who have done side-by-side tests who have the opinion that EDTV is good enough from typical viewing distances. As I said, there are some who even claim to prefer the EDTV picture (esp? for viewing SD).
I guess the point is, if you're in the market for a new TV, to try both for yourself, since there is a significant price difference.
is that EDTV is significantly cheaper than HDTV and is 'good enough'. Some have said that they prefer the look of EDTV when compared to HDTV; also some say that EDTV sets display SD TV better than HDTVs.
I read a prediction that EDTV would become the norm/standard, and HDTV would be a niche for videophiles. This sounds plausible to me.

Well, if you used Mozilla/Firefox, then hitting the escape key would indeed stop them. The '/' key works for searching too (though not *very* compatible, it does help).

I agree; they haven't even approached the interesting applications yet.
Imagine using a micromirror chip instead of a shutter. Each micromirror can act as a shutter for each of the pixels on the sensor. This means you can have a per-pixel exposure. I'm sure this would have interesting effects and advantages.

I'm curious if I could use this kit to make a chasis for the 8 drives I have on my firewire bus. I use WiebeTech's (http://www,wiebetech.com) drivedocks, and just stick them one on top of the other at the moment (using the plastic spacers they provide), but a purpose built chasis with some fans, and a place to mount the firewire hub would be really neat.
" 2 View foreign region-coded DVD movies on U.S. players "
I felt the pain when I moved from the UK to the US (none of my UK disks would play), and I'm feeling it even more now I'm in China (none of my US or UK disks will play, only the one I buy in China and you can't get most of the UK stuff in this region).
The drive in my powerbook has only a couple of changes left before it fixes on one region; and I can't find a 'fix' for that (Matshitadvd-r uj-815/DWDB/MMC-3, if anyone can help - I run Mac OS X). I can't afford to buy a new region free DVD player. Regions SUCK!
IINM, free versiontracker subscription is for new members, or for members who renew, not for current members.
This is relevant to me, because my subscription expires in a few days and I do not intend to renew, and so the offer does not apply to me - even though I am still a member.
The iBlog offer applies to me, so I have that, but not the versiontracker one...that is purely an incentive, not a benefit.

I'm not sure if it was being blocked or google we messing with something. I'm not sure if there's a way to tell.
Again, no big deal either way, since google doesn't actually produce any of the news. It's just a little inconvenient, that's all.
BTW, it looks like it's blocked again :(
It was blocked for a week or so, but is fine now...

is that EDTV is significantly cheaper than HDTV and is 'good enough'. Some have said that they prefer the look of EDTV when compared to HDTV; also some say that EDTV sets display SD TV better than HDTVs.

Upto 16 pipes (desktops), which each can drive upto 8 monitors on each, means it is capable of driving upto 128 monitors.

Anyway...small point, but worth making.
Back in the early '80s, AIWA used to have a little FM trasmitter that plugged into their walkmen, and you used FM radio headphones to listen to it.
I don't recall the UK having a problem with people using them.
Could they set a precedent?
