for somethings 1080i will be better. But for things with lots of motion like sports or say.... video games.... you'd prefer 720p.
Or 1080p, which I gather can be done, just a question if its worth the rendering effort...
once in place, I'm assuming this thing would be capable of generating quite a bit of solar energy beyond what it needed for any corrective propulsion... would it be enough to be worth trying to send somewhere else?
There's been an ongoing feud between NPR and Edwards ever since they canned him and he took his show to XM....
As far as repeaters go, where I live I never get more than one (of 3) bars of signal strength from the satelite. I rely on the terrestial repeaters to get any signal at all. I never use the built in fm-transmitter (I have a myfi) but I don't think there is a way to turn it off either (unless it knows to when you hook up to something else). I don't know if it affects other FM channels, I doubt I've used my regular FM radio in years now.
What else will be in their line-up?
You know, I would actually play a driving game where the goal is to tie up traffic. If I could take a 1970's Buick and drive on the same racetracks that Burnout Revenge runs on (while they are trying to do their race), just to tie up traffic, that would be sweet...
So, its October now, that would mean you got there in April.
Forget five years, lets see how you feel after spending November-March in Sweden;)
FWIW, do you speak swedish? I know a lot of people there speak english, but my cousin who moved there feels alienated, even though she has learned to speak swedish it is still with an accent and feels discriminated at in job interviews and such for not being a native speaker...
Somewhere up in the highlands where its nice and cool, away from the heat.
I should caveat though, I speak spanish and lived there from '72 to '86, and again from '90 - '92
I'll probably go back there when I retire.
I'm waiting for the day someone opens up a virtual world within second life.
Third life, as it will be called, will be paid for with second life currency. Your characters use SL computers to connect to it, which then runs in a nearly full-screen window within second life (other people who don't play third life can even watch over your shoulder and stuff).
Already in something like Dead Rising, it is annoying to have to wait for the cutscenes to load. If these scenes are gonna be that much bigger in 1080p (and I have a 720p tv), are they going to take that much longer to queue up? I'm assuming the drive has to read movies fast enough to play them at your standard 29.97 fps (no, wait, progressive scan so I guess its 59.94 fps) when showing the movie, so I'd guess it is fast enough for that. Right?
Say something nice about sony? okay... um... Sony-Ericcson makes good phones.
It has a little windmill that connects via a cable and harnesses the power of the desert winds.... when they rise, the teacher can yell "wind up", so students can get them out quickly and do a lesson while it lasts.....
okay, that was pretty lame. its not worth ruining my average postinthwhoops.asdflksubmit
The free one is fine for messing around with, and probably better than the Microsoft version anyway on that platform (plus the other stuff it can do), but the ESX is where its at for more serious work...
Unlike the free version, you don't install it on a server that's already running something like windows server 2003 or ubuntu, you instead install it as the base OS on the box, and then run whatever virtual servers you want on top of that. Its one less layer to worry about, and the performance is superior.
I've run just about every kind of server we have on here via this, even older things like Novell servers. Getting rid of old servers is one of the best reasons to go to vmware... They have a migration tool that essentially virtualizes and existing box, as long as no one's hitting it directly by the IP address the next day they come in most of them won't even know they're hitting a virtual server.
In most cases I find it easier to not tell them, otherwise people somehow get worried if you try to explain to them that they're not using a physical server...
55 & over only. Allows limited visiting hours from characters from other servers.
Can you see it?
Lord of the Rings online can have "The Grey Havens". WOW can have "Ashes to Ashenvale", that kind of thing.
And when you go your main character can get either a tombstone that is visitable by characters on other servers, or an actual in-game object that holds the ashes.
I wrote a few years ago but it never worked as well as I'd hoped: Pirate Translator. Didn't keep any of the "frills" on it, just a simple word/phrase/letter translation table.
Problem was most of the look-up terms I had were nautical. So if you refer to things like anchor, paymaster or first mate, it will find stuff but too often it comes up empty.
There are a number of others floating around there, but never really been happy with any of them. If anyone knows of a good one please share..
Brilliant! Just make it biodegradable... allow songs on it to have unlimited lifespan but the unit will die and the rights to them with the unit... we'll get kids buying several a year.... should run off to patent this now...
It couldn't be because they get less per song than if you buy the CD, despite there being nothing to manufacture, print, burn, store, distribute, stock, or stores to man.

stats on IE7 and FF2 downloads
Why would you compare Internet Explorer to Final Fantasy? and that "II" is 11, not 2.
Just partner with it. Somehow the "need to know search" seems to be a classic oxymoron...

Its near Landvetter.

Maybe you could use it to flee the country...
Well my cousin isn't from America. She speaks english well, but spanish is her native language. I don't know if that plays a role.
"A study by scientists at Ohio State University..."
that should read:
"A study by scientists at THE Ohio State University..."

Pray I don't alter it any further.

We be posting when we get around to it. Last night been Pirate's Day Eve, gotta be sleeping that off this mornin...

We travel in a circle about it every day.
Though if we harvest that, thus weakening it, would we doom ourselves to frying in otherwise deflected solar rays..
Indeed... the originally submitted article referenced that slashdot article. I do see it listed under "related" articles.
