This is China we're talking about. They were willing to kill their own babies and pets in order to make a little more profit, do you really think they will care about sick people?
Except that a lot of the ships (and station itself) *have* been redone for the 2007 stories. And I'm pretty sure the people that made the amateur videos would be happy to give them the models.
An amateur redid parts of a battle from DS9 in HD, and was asked by someone from Foundation Imaging to contact him (don't remember where I've read this). DS9 also used motion control for the ships, which makes it even harder, and it could be possible to do it.
Since B5 was entirely CGI, it would be easier. If the morons at WB didn't insist to have a 16:9 format for the DVDs, it would look so much better than blowing and cropping the CGI stuff.
Can somebody please contact his ISP? I can only hope/. has an Abuse department. When an admin contacted us concerning one of our users, we would warn/cut/close the account
I've been using ClearOS for a while, and it does everything I could wish for (QoS, Caching, DNS, Mail Server, monitoring, adblock and the kitchen sink), I want to try Zentyal but don't have a spare machine or the time.
Clear has been running on an old AMD low power single core CPU with 2GB RAM, altough it costs more in electricity than a consumer router, it's way more flexible and handles torrents without rebooting every once in a while...
A friend of mine had the sensor for automatic lights in his Intrepid, but the switch wouldn't go to the left because of a little plastic pin. Remove switch, break the pin, and it worked.
many higher-end cameras can also have features reenabled by flashing the firmware from a more expensive model.
Dismantle, keep the magnets (the flat ones are really fun to play with, lots of projects) , and recycle the drive and platters (50 cents/pound), there's even a copper coil in there at 3$/pound
Not much, but once dismantled, data is gonna be pretty hard to recover.
Beta *is* superior (on paper at least). better tape speed, more video lines, better sound. but at the end, you could choose between a device that recorded 1.5 hours in stereo at top quality that cost a thousand bucks, or a JVC VHS deck that could do 4 hours in mono at 400$. Guess who won ?
(I own both, and still swear at Beta's technical superiority, but VHS was the better choice)
No. They did what they always do, and tried to push a proprietary format (Minidisc and ATRAC) instead of embracing an established standard. With their music catalog, they could have *owned* the MP3 player market like they did with the original Walkman. (add to that their movie catalog and they could have killed the iPod touch before it was even born.)
Tried that in the 90s and it didn't work. Besides, running OSX on a 300$ plastic Acer crap kinda defeats the point of getting a Macbook. Apple neither sells software nor hardware, they sell Macs. Sure I'm running OSX on my PC, but selling OSX for PCs is a bad idea...
But GSM allows phones to be used on different providers, something TDMA/CDMA didn't allow. Besides what good are fast speeds if you're only allowed pathetic quotas? GSM also allowed *competition*.
I'd rather have European telecom prices instead of getting gouged here.
How hard can it be to be replace Ballmer? Vista, Zune, Media Center and Metro. Half of them really bad, the other two (Zune and MCE) were abandonned. MCE was a really good product (still using it on one of my machines), Zune could have been something too.
They need to innovate, Tablets are replacing laptops, computers are fast enough to not need replacing (Mine is around 7y old) and competing office suites are good enough to replace Office in most cases. That means less Windows & Office licenses in the consumer market (beginning to change in the business market too)
The countermeasure for laser listening was to install the windows inside a pipe *frame* and play music in the pipes. Using an object inside the building to extract audio defeats that countermeasure. This is 2014, do not expect any privacy, especially from government agencies...

Perhaps, but you don't feed lead to babies.

In fact, the episode previews on the DVDs look *so much* better, even on a big screen...
Just make sure you wash your hands before putting them in...
Yes they can
OTA is not encrypted.

Running it on a little Atom ITX board shouldn't cost more than a consumer toy router in electricity

"If you deploy browser detection code, you *must* take responsibility for contantly re-testing it against every new browser that gets released. "
So, every 2 days for Firefox?

EDTV is still an upgrade to NTSC.

If you really want it gone, Thermite...
Microsoft will somehow find a way to destroy or abandon Skype like they did Zune, Nokia and other products...
Let me upgrade my dual 2.5 G5 to Snow...
First iPods were Firewire only (iTunes was only available on Macs)
"Blu-ray was a much better roll-out. They enlisted major studios before the product hit the market"
BR had better DRM, that's what won the studios, not technical superiority. HDDVD was cheaper to manufacture as it could use existing DVD facilities

And every ISP should be split from its content provider (both Cableco and Telco) but it won't happen...

Great idea, just like Hydro Quebec (oh wait)

How the heck is it different from ripping a CD in iTunes or any portable MP3 player?
