My hardware gave out around Trials, but the problem was the sheer amount of time required to accomplish anything in a single sitting. My question is, will Warhammer allow a more casual gaming environment, or will every login (leveling excluded) require more than an hour of dedicated time set aside?
See, I attempted the same thing. I have also been checking in with every Flight/Beta of Dapper but Mandriva played so much better in a dual-boot environment.
There is no GUI/user-friendly way of getting your NTFS partition mounted for read-only in Ubuntu... every Wiki has you editing FSTAB. Even using System > Disks (I think) you can't just ENABLE mounting, you have to answer cryptic questions about mount points. Hell, I even know what 'should' go in those boxes but it still won't mount (tried with LiveCD, Beta2, Ubuntu).
While I strongly appreciate what EasyUbuntu does for some of the proprietary things, but the most basic requirement: accessing NTFS partition, is not made simple.
Technically, the RL and RR speakers can be anywhere from 90 (next to) to 110 degrees (just slightly behind), and in a 5.1 setup I'd recommend if possible the 'slightly behind' option (even if that is only 5 degrees).
In 7.1, with 2 other speakers providing that spacial 'behind', it makes it less relevant. However, I still believe that the sound is truer to 'being there' if all the surrounds sound behind you. I personally haven't had the opportunity to play around with 7.1 to do some tests, because in the end it probably depends on how the mix was done on the track (or is done most commonly) to see which gets higher priority, RL/RR or RSL/RSR.
Of course, finding 7.1 track is hard enough, and I'd stick with 6.1 (DTS-ES and DD-EX) and place RL/RR closer to 110, and since there is a discrete RearCenter, making 6.1/7.1 indistinguishable from each other with the RL/RR @ 110degrees.
Yeah, I left out the subwoofer. remembered that as I posted. But realisticly, the Sub can go in all sorts of places since it is omnidirectional, so it doesn't serve a purpose in the parents 'one in each corner' argument.
The center channel should be a cluster of around 3 speakers in a sligt arc, allowing a wider listening area for the center audio, and in turn, spatially, give you less of that seperation on a large screen and characters on extreme lefts or rights. You always may need to move the distance of the center channel back to allow it to spread enough before reaching the listening area... but usually, distance will be fine when you match optimal viewing distance.
The moment I heard American Beauty in DD and then in DTS (to let a friend decide which he preferred), I proved you wrong. The original mixmaster did not intend for poorly balanced CENTER and surrounds between loud scenes and speaking scenes (usually evident in action flicks), and also in the case of American Beauty, a slow high-hat roll sounding like a costant buzz in DD, but in DTS you could hear the intended slow rat-tat-tat-tat independent hits of the high-hat roll.
I love DTS because it has proven itself time and again, in the DEPTH category, not the gain control (though it has benefits there as well). Titan-AE is my 'demo' DVD for those living in a crappy 2-speaker setup (crappy speakers, not crappy because it's 2 speakers) who wil lbe introduced to 5.1 DTS.
Finally listened to that on headphones (usually heard it in the car where I listen to the podcasts that played sections of that).
Up, Down, Left, Right, SL (surround Left), SR... but FL(front Left), FR, and CENTER are all very much lacking. The Dolby Headphone Surround reproduced those a little bit better, but in the end that is the weakness of the design.
By the way, I have a 5.1 system setup at home to compare this too. And in the appropriate setup, 6.1 makes a lot of sense, but 7.1 in a home theater is useless. I have enough trouble finding DTS 5.1, let alone finding DTS-ES 6.1! Dolby Digital mastering for 'home theater' is horrible in regards to Center Channel (Speech) and Action volume level balance.
Yeah, love DTS CD's. I have 2 of them because they play on ANY DVD player and home theater combo and sound amazing. DTS rocks. Just had to give you props for mentioning them.
I care more about a DVD w/ DTS than I would a HDDVD with DolbyDigital.
Just like any project, they have to prioritize. Besides the massive amount of codecs it already does, it has h.264 running very well, which I have seen a lot more than WMV, and I use it on windows... I suppose I just avoid Windows Media in general.
THe simple point is, if you want this codec so badly, make a monetary donation and add a Note: please put this towards the WMV3 codec!
Ask and ye shall receive, but a little motivation couldn't hurt.
There is something still good on the radio: NPR. Now, they make a great example since they podcast some of their most popular shows (Science Friday, Living on Earth) and in iTunes they are all over the 'Top list'. I never thought I would spend every morning making a CD of podcasts to listen to when going to and from work, but I do, and I've never been happier and more awake on my daily commute. When the CD ends, I listen to NPR or put in a different CD.
Stop referring to 'the honda hybrid' as if there is only 1. There is the Civic, the Accord (performance and fuel efficiency), and the first Hybrid sold in the US, the Honda Insight. In my Insight, I get 65mpg, tooling around time or driving the highway. Many owners who have a lighter foot get even better mileage.
Don't be fooled to thinking that the Prius or Civic Hybrid are the forerunners of fuel efficiency.
And the damn Geo Metro can't get up a hill, hate to try and get that up Pike's Peak.
The competition highlights literary achievements of the most dubious sort -- terrifyingly bad sentences that take their inspiration from minor writer Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton, whose 1830 novel "Paul Clifford" began, "It was a dark and stormy night."
Ok, I get the redundancy of 'dark' and 'night', but I don't find this as horrific as comparing anatomy to car parts *Though Jay Leno may disagree*
I know about most of the mods for the Insight (active on Yahoo group and insightcentral.net) and even had the pleasure of driving the turbo insight (Willie's). I also run at 45 all-around on the tires. I agree a lot of things make a difference, being I'm in CO, and I didn't have a good testbed for when I was in FL (waaaay dif. climate).
Driving the Same route, day after day, Highway at 65mph, I've driven it with the AC on and I've done it with the windows all the way down (both sides). Windows down is more efficient, hands down. This would seem to contradict the theory's about a 'small engine' since it is just a 3 cylinder vehicle. Drag is the lowest of any production US vehicle, but regardless, would increase at the same rate as other vehicles as speed increases.

I drive a Honda Insight in Colorado, 10% ethanol and high altitude. I don't have a noticeable difference in gas mileage, compared to driving around Utah (trip to Vegas) or Florida (previous residence), and most definately not half (which would put me in the 30's in mpg). Maybe the problem was your driving habits, due to perception, and not the vehicle.
As far as Bio-Diesel is concerned, I look forward to a BioElectric Hybrid, for performance, mpg, and clean technologies, and I wish Fast Food Restaraunts would start creating Bio Diesel pump stations, filtering their 'waste' oil.

Because 7.1 is as follows:

....RSL..RSR
RL.............RR

Do you also subscribe to the non-compete method of clubbing the woman you want and dragging her back to your cave?
Just laugh, you know it's funny.
