But the financial pain will never be the same for rich people. a 100$ fine to a single mom earning 30,000/year might mean she won't be able to make ends meet and end up taking the bus to work because she couldn't keep the car, but a 10,000$ fine to her boss who earns 500,000/year might mean he won't be getting a new boat this year...
Make sure the edits by NYPD are done, add a section about edits being made with logs and lock the article. After all, IP adresses are being used to ruin people's lives by MPAA, so an IP identifies a person right?
Then remove all caps, but leave instructions as to what caps are needed on the board. My 1974 amp crapped out on me last year and is in dire need of a recap (Marantz 2240). Capacitors *will* die, powered up or not. I say go with high-resolution film (R,G and B as many others said). With a separate optical track. Better yet, the same audio track on all three films so it could be reconstructed to near perfection if need be...
iPhone batteries can be replaced (takes under 5 minutes on my 4s) PPC has been gone for at least 7 years iOS has been multitasking since 4.x as for prices, don't compare to Walmart junk
That was just an example. Even with more realism, more colors and better graphics it doesn't explain why the same kind of game needs 4-5 GB today (except for bloated coding). Especially when you can do the following in under 100k (CPU power is needed because everything is done from procedures)
Besides, colors and sound don't make a game, gameplay does. Look at DooM (the remake). Looks nice but gameplay is nowhere near the original, same goes for Half-Life vs HL2
Difference is aircraft maintenance is very strict and reglemented. Check or replace X after Y hours of operation, everything done is logged, not accounting for the multiple redundancies (including redundant pilots in case something goes wrong).
And it's that kind of attitude that lead to 10+GB Operating Systems, GB+ Office suites and the need for 3Ghz dual core machines and 8GB RAM in order to do *anything* useful.
Meanwhile back in the '80s a C64 or Apple][+ could run a combat flight simulator in about 40K of RAM and 1 *MHZ* Cpu. In the '90s Amigas were used for special effects and genlocking.
THe montreal subway system could be entirely autonomous, yet they are drivers in the cabin for two reasons. Something might (will) go wrong, and I'm not sure most people would trust an entirely autonomous system for reason 1.
It's not just nVidia. Many modern devices suffer from cracked solder joints. I found a big projection TV 2-3 years ago on the curb, the convergence was all screwed up thanks to broken solder joints between the flyback and motherboard. All it took was removing the ROHS crap and resolder using *standard* solder. Still works to this day.
So by using this kind of solder and being able to say they're environment friendly all it does is put MORE electronics in landfills.
And that is why It's a bad idea to use software that relies on server side authentication. Case in point, I just reinstalled my security cam software, but it won't accept my *paid-for* license because it doesn't exist anymore. So my legally bought software is now useless.
ATSC PVRs already record the raw bitstream received from the broadcaster. what you're describing can be bought for around 70$ http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/pr...
Windows Media Center serves the same purpose in my living room.
It is the same as cable if you think of Hulu & Netflix as the *new* networks. The difference is instead of paying your cable provider you're paying the networks directly.
I just hope security is really good. A 5W laser is enough to set fire to many materials, I can only imagine something (or someone) using that to set a desk on fire.

Same thing with taxes...

"It's more expensive than life imprisonment"
TBH, I fail to see how ending someone's life could be more expensive than feeding, clothing and caring for 20, 30, 40 years or even longer.
I'm pretty sure it was more in line as to why there's no FM tuner in iPods. That way you need to buy shows/music/movies from iTunes.

PAR files stored along the original? If you want to go digital only, split the files and .par them

"Dear god, do not drop Thunderbolt support based on the silly musings of a bunch of people buying the cheapest crap hardware they can possibly buy"
You know it's gonna happen. Firewire was lightyears beyond USB 2.0 and we all know where it went...

That show was clever in so many ways, too bad it got canned (same goes for Firefly)

Car maintenance on the other hand...

The TV show was not that bad, some episodes were pretty good actually.
Well, this is /. so it's probably the case for most of us...
Make that two :p
Lemme guess? eeePC? If so, it didn't run at 400. It just said it was running at that speed...
