First off, I don't see a lot of movies. I'm not elitist or anything, I just generally have more interesting things to do. Most movies are kind of boring, anyway.
One begs to ask how you can possibly know that most movies are "kind of boring" if you don't see a lot of them?
>> Never mind the 500ft of unshielded romex inside your wall, its truley the last 6ft of power cord that does make the difference you will see and hear!
Actually you wouldn't run one of those from the wall - you'd have a virtual battery style power conditioner that give you a practically perfect waveform - and then you run a good power cable to your equipment. Probably not a $1700 one, but at least a good one.
>> I find it unlikely that a game would need a driver update in order to display the game's start menu. Its even less likely when you think that Crysis didn't even need an updated driver to run, maybe not run well but it ran.
I have written enough 3D application to know the hard way that when a 3D graphics application blue screens a machine, there are two likely causes -
Either the app is abusing Direct3D, or you have a bad graphics driver.
Since the problem 'fixed itself' by time my guess is the latter.
>> I don't know a single PS3 owner who does not also own a BD movie. Not 1.
Well, I got 15 free blu-ray movies when I bought my ps3 (10 from wal-mart and 5 from the mail in thing), so as long as these incentives are out there, you probably won't.
I have had my 360 since a few months after the lauch and I have never had any RROD problems with it either. Then again, I'm having good luck with Vista so I guess I'm inversely jinxed.
For those of you who have not visited both North & South Dakota, I have. They are, in fact, not the same place. The submitter was probably confused as the belief that nothing comes from North Dakota is a well known fact. However, this news and fossil flies right in the face of that so I have to rework my post graduate thesis on black holes--it seems information can escape.
No, you were right from the beginning. This information lack substance, and is thus oblivius to the gravitational pull of a back hole.
>>FUD much? "pretty much risk bricking your phone" implies that this happens frequently, and it just plain doesn't.
Perhaps we just have to agree to disagree on that one. I don't believe for a second that the iphone was temporarily bricked for lack of compatibility testing - it was a deliberate act by apple to make people think twice about unlocking it. I have no doubt it'll happen again.
>> You don't get it. Here's how it works.
Believe me, I get it just fine, we just don't agree over what consitutes a native SDK.
>> There has been a third party SDK out for months, and ditto for unlocking them.
Do you really count those as features when you pretty much risk bricking your phone applying them?
I'd love to have a third party sdk to write my own stuff for it, much like I did for my symbian based p910 before it, but I don't want to eliminate my chances of getting future security updates for my phone, so I won't.
So they don't accept cash, but I wonder if you can go buy one for an apple store gift card or other form of credit.
Seems like they are free to not accept cash, but I doubt they can get around not accepting an apple gift card in their stores.
I guess they may still ask for a credit card to back up the identity of the purchaser though, but that'll be odd too...

Hahaha! You had a 340!?
Water in the tank or not - did it actually run?
>> But I still bet the Phoenix can't make smores.
Right. All they've got is "shake and bake"

don't you think your display driver was updated in the meantime?

Actually - that one is really easy to do in 3D: http://autodesk.blogs.com/between_the_lines/2004/08/a_really_cool_3.html

Well, some of them totally nailed the "Magnum".

Indeed. This Geek Tragedy is only an 'r' away from being Greek.
