  1. Re:unintended victims a bit, too.. on Mexico Will Shut Down 25.9 Million Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    You don't have to be a Mexican citizen to get a CURP number. As long as you have a residentship you can get one.

  2. Re:HDTV inaccuracies in article on Octopuses Have No Personalities and Enjoy HDTV · · Score: 1

    1080i HDTV is displayed at the same frame rate as standard definition TV. In PAL land, that's 50 fields per second, which makes 25 frames per second.

    Only if it's 1080i25/1080i30 and not 1080i50/1080i60

    There is no such thing as 1080i25 or 1080i30. In HD 1080 you have interlaced 50 or 60 fields per second and progressive 24, 25 and 30 frames per second. In addition you have and option of 50p and 60p in HD 720.

    However, [Apple Senior Vice President Phil] Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac."

    Does this mean that it will not be possible to run Mac OS X on standard PC hardware or just that Apple will lot allow you to run it legally on a PC because of limitations in the Mac OS X license agreement?

  4. Re:Piracy boom? on Irish Cinema Set to Go Digital First · · Score: 1

    The downside is that when the screen goes totally black, it's actually a very dark grey (more of an illuminated black).

    ...witch is the exact same problem that 35mm prints have. Getting good blacks in a projection is difficult, boh with traditional film and with digital projection. But with digital projection technology like micromirrors[Wikipedia], I doubt that a X generation projection film print is significally better.

    Yeah. And Ash could eliminate Jar Jar Binks once and for all in the most spectacular and gory way with a chainsaw or something.
