you'd only need power when a pixel changes, so the battery life would theoretically be huge.
That's a bit of an overstatement, unless we are talking about processor free devices.
I use exclusively second hand gear, because I'm poor like that. My 2 monitors are 5 and 7 years old. Both were near bottom of the line when new, one does 1280x1024, the other 16x12.
As previous siblings have pointed out, you don't know what you are talking about.
While it would be incredibly cool if this technology could be used with PC LCD monitors, don't get too excited yet.
LCD screens generally rely on a single backlight for illumination. Swithing to multiple backlights is certainly possible, but don't expect to be able to control power consumption on a pixel by pixelbasis anytime soon.
Perfect Dark was Rare's sequal to Goldeneye, wasn't it? I remember buying a module for my friends N64 (I didn't have my own) just so I could play that game.
It was alright, but no GoldenEye.
Of course, as far as I'm concerned, GoldenEye represents the apogee of the video game, similar to Physical Graffitti's place in the rock pantheon.
Alright, I'm way offtopic, but it's Friday night, and I've got Karma to burn, bitch!
I'm going stictly off what I recall from the movies here, but Leai, Daughter of Queen Amidala of Naboo(?), would be Princess of whatever the Nabooish equavilent of Wales is.
Anakin is either the Prince Consort (a la Prince Albert or the soon to be Princess Camila?), or just some dude who did the Queen.
The have settled with about 1,500 people for an average settlement of about $5,000. That is about $7.5 million total. Once you subtract attorneys fees and split the proceeds between the record labels, bottom lines are barely affected.
Leia is like 2 months old in Ep3, you fucking pervert.
Incidentally, that means they cango full frontal on her and not take a rating hit. Naked babies are OK.
So are vaginal closeups during childbirth, I believe, so maybe we'll get some of that!
This is where they are choosing to premier this trailer? Oh man, all hope is lost. Seriously though, why? What is the demographic that they are appealing to for this film?
I am a 26 year old male. The Star Wars trilogy have been my favorite movies since I was 5 years old. The O.C. is the only show on television that I watch every week.
If The Returning Revenge of the Darth Sith or whatever it is called is half as good as The O.C. it will be a huge and welcome improvement over the last two installments.
That said, I get the O.C. via bittorrent without commercials, so who know what the hell that means.
They could just release the filesystem for older systems via an extensive patch and see what the customers decide to do. Instead, Microsoft is going to determine what is best for all their customers.
The OSS folks would just release (and have released) new filesystems and let the bits fall where they may.
Screw backward compatability! If you're not on the bleeding edge, you're taking up too much space!
I love OSS as much as the next/bot, but ask yourself, When is the last time you encountered an open source project that wasn't an imitation of a commercial product?
They miss the point, though.
The Baby Huey Bells and cable cos. aren't trying to make sure that municipalities provide service efficiently, they are trying to ban their competition.
I don't think municipalities should be excluded from network infrastructure business, but I don't think it will be as easy as it may seem.
Specifically, where are the testbed communities that bee nprovided wireless acess with private money? If it is so damn easy, private capital should have already been deployed, no?
I didn't say that itunes stripped all the metadata from your song files.
I said that the iPod doesn't read the metadata from the song file, but rather from the database file. If you just copy an MP3 file to a random location on the iPod filesystem, that song won't show up in the Music menu - there is no way to play it.
Show me a $1000 1080p native resolution DLP -- not a 720p that supports 1080i/p signals.
Come on, I double-dog dare you.
Hell, show me a reasonably priced front projector that that does 720p natively. All of the cheap ones are only 1024x768. Display a 16:9 picture with that and you are only getting 25% of the resolution of a 1080i picture.
Does it look better than my TV? Yes. Is it HDTV? No.

Um, in addition to being "like tort," it actually is tort.

Extraordinary profit?

I think you may need to fiddle with the sensitivity dial on you sarcasm detector.
That said, I have never witnessed a natural childbirth.
I did, however, watch my daughter's birth via c-section. That was gross despite its wonderfulness.
Leia is like 2 months old in Ep3, you fucking pervert.

You can say anything up to and including "shit" and still get a PG-13 rating, you fucking retard.
Aren't Luke and Leia born in this movie? Won't she be pregnant during the whole thing?

Ironically (catch me on this one, irony poice!), no for "polish sausage," yes for the other two.
bah. Look how poorly I parsed the grandparents words. Sorry about the meainingless reply.
I'm a home user, I don't use IE (or Windows) anymore because I was made aware of its (their) shortcomings.
And humans got by for millenia without any digital usic players at all.
What is your fucking point?
Fair enough, but $130 is still significantly cheaper than $199.

Now you are just being deliberately obtuse. You know full well that the band name isn't the only information displayed.
The engadget article states that the players will be $130/$150 for 512MB without/with FM tuner and $180/$200 for 1GB.
iPod's start at $250 if you want a display.
