I thought I read somewhere that it was actually better in non-IMAX 3D theaters, because it wasn't really designed for a wrap-around screen.
I wouldn't see it in IMAX anyway; the only IMAX theater in my town (Phoenix) is in a mall that's basically #1 in the area for auto thefts.
I went to the IMAX one and I didn't get decent seats, so I'm betting it would be better in the IMAX if you were in the center of the theater at the first level, but yeah the regular 3D was better from my personal experience because of that.
But don't worry, it's still a great movie and well worth watching, especially in 3D IMO.
The special effects are reason enough to see it. You can't see this movie in regular, you HAVE to see 3D. By now it's out of the IMAX, but it will remain in theaters with 3D for a while.
Nuclear accidents potentially have uniquely high costs, what with estimates in the ballpark of 50,000 years for recovery.
False. 20,000 years total.
See:
"Eventually the land could be utilized for some sort of industrial purpose that would involve concrete sites," Randall Bell continues. "But estimates range from 60 – 200 years before this would be allowed. Farming or any other type of agricultural industry would be dangerous and completely inappropriate for at least 200 years. It will be at least two centuries before there is any chance the situation can change within the 1.5-mile Exclusion Zone. As for the #4 reactor where the meltdown occurred, we estimate it will be 20,000 years before the real estate will be fully safe."
I was early and caught my username in time. I get e-mails from people thinking that they are e-mailing themselves or a friend and forget to add on the numbers. It's just as bad with my AIM screen name.
And now we have Win7, who no one really bitches about and says its polished.
Speaking from personal expierience: IMO it sucks on single-core machines. And on my single-core it gives me a couple bluescreens per day. XP runs just fine on that machine with the same workload.
Have you ruled out all other issues? Try running memtest86+, etc. Make sure something isn't actually wrong with the hardware...
Isn't this a bit of a stretch. I've rented a rather broad range of films [snip]
I share a Netflix account with my mom. I have the movies go to her address and I use the streaming to my 360 at my apartment. Going by what you mentioned, they must think I'm a menopausal woman who has an infatuation with James Bond.
Uh, not really, as our UIDs link to our IP addresses at the moment, which can be subpoenaed and traced right back to us...(Unless you're on Tor or an anonymizer)
UID links to the age of your account, not your IP. When you join, and you're the X person to join, X is your UID. Get your information straight, you jackass.
Maybe you could elaborate, so we know what you're talking about?
You can't remove the battery. I want to be able to swap the battery if the lithium ion cells begin to die, which happens a LOT with lithium ion batteries. I don't want to have to send it away for 6 to 8 weeks.
In the court filing four days later, the city contended that Childs had "booby-trapped" the network to collapse during this power outage by not writing the device configurations to flash on some number of routers.
You know, some Cisco guys just have bad habits of not pressing "CTRL+Z" then entering "wr mem" when they're done working on a Cisco appliance. Maybe he just made a mistake?
He had high security turned on that blocked password recovery as some of the network stuff was out in open at some sites and not in a locked room. With the high security you have to do a full reset to get back in without a password.
Not only that, depending on what routing protocol he was using it most likely used authentication. You would have to take down and reconfigure every single router all at once or they would not communicate and share routing tables.
I won't name the manipulators and bribers, but I'll give you a hint: their initials are RIAA and MPAA.
I demand to know why myself, Richard Ingus Alfonzo-Almada and my wife Maria Perez Alfonzo-Almada, are being targeted by this smear campaign! We have done nothing!
I'm convinced that comcast is monitoring the bandwidth I'm using and shutting me down whenever I actually -use- the bandwidth I pay for, for more than 10 or 15 minutes.
Comcast has openly admitted to throttling bandwidth of users who use their cap for 10 to 15 minutes.
As other people said, it could be the NAT table is filling up. Try the firewall thing first, if that doesn't fix it, get a better router, or build your own with pfSense. I use pfSense on Comcast in the Philadelphia area and I have absolutely no problems with pages not loading.
Don't get me wrong the iPod is a great device, but the fact that Apple tries every dirty trick to lock me in makes me hate them as much as I can.
I actually didn't even pay for my iPod. It was a hand-me-down from my cousin. I'd be using my thumb drive plugged into my car/work computer to listen to music if he didn't give me it.
I hate to install any kind of crap that isn't needed.
My 10$ mp3 allows me to share my music with people with no need to install or buy any additional devices. I can use it at home, in my car USB radio (and the player gets recharged), at work (I don't have admin rights to install stuff),...
Of course this might not be an issue for you, but I like to share my stuff and use it wherever I go.
Yeah, I do agree on the installing crap not needed. I do look at drivers as necessary though for something I spent money on.
I prefer the aux-in on my car to plugging in the USB cable. I don't have access to my playlists when I do that. Sucks about not having admin rights at work, I'd just grab a USB adapter for a wall outlet and charge it that way so you can listen to music at work.
I usually don't share things since nobody asks, if they do I'd just burn them a CD so I don't have to worry about plugging a writable device into their computer that could be riddled with virus'.
But I don't have a Micro SD card reader, I do have an USB tho.
Does your computer have an SD card reader though? MicroSD cards come with the adapter. Spend $10 and you can get a USB card reader. Or are you going to complain about those drivers being installed?
The Samsung Blackjack I/II also allows you to change the USB connection setting to only use it as a Storage Card, in which case you just need to plug it in and it's recognized immediately.
So you see, you can share your music only with people with Micro SD card readers.
I don't share my music, so that's a non-issue. Also, see what I said above about buying a USB to card reader.
An what about generic USB devices? I can use my 10$ MP3 player, but the iPhone doesn't work.
I plugged my iPod into my laptop and it installs and works fine. I can use it as a storage card if necessary. I also use Winamp to manage my music, not iTunes.
You want a player that is not recognised by the PC unless you install some dodgy rivers?
All I have to do is pop the Micro SD card into my adapter and plug it into my laptop and I can copy all the music onto it I want. I don't even need to plug my phone in to my computer to do so.

Two things:
a) It's Power Word: Kill. (For a 9th-level spell, it's really over-rated.)
b) Any time you have a group for D&D, it's a party. Pride of lions, murder of crows, party of geeks.
Trap sprung.

The sweet Humanscale Freedom High-back chair in plum vellum with the graphite frame in which I am now sitting begs to differ.
You bastard! I replaced you and now I'm sitting on a milk crate!
Well then I wonder how Idle made front page.
Adjust your Slashdot homepage to not include Idle, then.

Protip: Only 4.4-5.9% of the world population actually cares about what it sounds like in English. Because that is the amount of native speakers.
That's a pretty outlandish claim with nothing to back it up.
If everyone knows my measurement, why do I keep getting penis enlargement spam?!
Because everybody has been lying to you.

Hey, I went to 318x.com and all of a sudden my computer is acting funny. Any suggestions?

Bada for Samsung, more like.
Why did you reply to the first thread instead of starting your own?
Also, get off my lawn.
