You are sooo wrong. I think the price is too low. They should charge 2x more, nay, 3x more. They should bundle XP too. What the hell. The higher they lift themselves, the farther they will fall and I'll be there to pick up a google of Xboxes at dirt cheap when the demand crashes. I need some cheap distributed compute boxes. I can see the independent game developers saying to themselves, "Geez what dumb fucks we are. We thought that MS would treat us like partners! No wait a minute, they are treating us like partners, use and abuse and squish us to hell." I see a lot of "project manager" types who were saying that they should hitch a ride on the MS megalith getting the ax tomorrow. Don't they know the dangers of hitchiking?
Does anyone else think that gimp having the default compression level set to 6.0 is silly? People are probably saving their files to.png not bothering to mess with the slider, thus giving them a poor impression of the compression capabilities of png.
It's not puzzling, it probably doesn't support.png, instead it just calls quicktime to view it, like any other format supported by a plugin. A pity that this capability is attributed to IE and not to Quicktime.
For those in the clueless camp, it would be like saying that IE supports.swf flawlessly... Not realizing that the flash plugin was bundled in. (I'm making this up, I don't use IE, so there is a remote possibility, less than 0.74% chance, that I may be wrong.)
Hey, you violated the DMCA. I tried to view this article without the proper username & passwd and failed. You circumvented that security system.
Go directly to jail.
Actually it makes more sense as time goes on. The cooling system is a one time purchase, you can keep reusing it so it gets more cost effective with each new system.
You know, I thought of making a table, spelling it out, maybe talking sloooowwwweeeeerrrrr... But I decided against it. There is ignorance, which is perfectly alright, everyone is ignorant at some point in their life. There is also blissful ignorance, which I so desperately wish I had never left. And then there is pure, unadulterated stupidity. I can see why so many tire of/. and praise the non-anonymity of k5. For I am sure this person would not want their identity known for fear that his boss might find out how truly hopeless he is.
Well then, if you don't know or don't care what DV is then guess what? When you go to the camcorder store and buy yourself a cheap camcorder then you will find yourself the owner of a DV format camcorder. Why? It's not digital cause it is better (although it is better), it is digital because it's cheaper. And, btw, DV cameras have standard video out capability, thus you can use these cameras the same as you always have.
And also note that firewire is not only Sony, pretty much all of the digitial camcorders have firewire plugs on them for DV data. DV is like saying NTSC/PAL, it is the format of the video. That's why DV is *nothing* like DAT, MD, or betamax. Those are all storage mediums like CD-R, cassette tapes, VHS. DV is a format!!! Hell even the tapes used by Sony vs the others is different. Sony supported DV using their digital-8mm tapes. That is why you can store DV data on your hard drive. Can you store a betamax tape on your hard drive?
Everyone will be using DV data at some point precisely for the reason that consumers are cheap idiots.
Notice that nowhere here did I mention Apple. That is because Apple is merely supporting DV and the creation of playable DVDs. Much like they are supporting the creation of audio CDs from mp3 files.
What the hell are you talking about? Haven't adopted DV yet? Do you even know what DV is? You have basically two choices today, buy an old camcorder that uses analog format or buy a new camcorder that uses digital format (DV). The reason they can't support the analog version is the same reason that it's never been used for much, you need gobs of hardware to do real-time video capture. If you buy Sony's DVMC then you can easily use your old analog video and convert it to DV format. And let me specifically point out that DV is a format used by camcorders et al, it is *not* an Apple format.
As for why would anyone want to make their own DVDs? That's obvious, how else are you going to make your professionaly cut home pr0n?
By the way, ye so ignorant one, firewire == IEEE1394 == Sony i-link is the plug used by camcorders to spit out DV data. It is not going away for a long time.
It's also obvious that you've never made your own videos. If you did you'd know that there's usually less than 20% of the recording that you'd like to keep. Thus the argument that DV tapes are cheaper is not true since you would only archive the decent stuff, saving considerable room on your DVD-R.
No we don't. Let them fool themselves. Let them drive their customers away. Instead of napstering or watching tv, why not go out and see a live band. Hell, see the sky outside your house.
Personally I can't wait! I've been wanting Digital TV to come out with serious copy protections for awhile now. Why you ask? Because the sooner it is here the sooner it will implode. The sooner all the dipshit ceo's will realize that they've gotta do what the consumers want. Maybe this is the push that the US population needs to cause everyone to get a life.
The article that I read about the martian face stated that new higher resolution pictures showed nothing unusual. But on the same page was another article talking about huge dust storms on the surface of mars. Kind of like taking a picture of the egyptian pyramids during a sandstorm from space and saying that there's nothing there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there really is a face, just that the new pictures don't really prove anything. Now if we could have dropped the satellite onto it while taking pictures...
You also have thhe added benefit of having your stupid users send those changes to outside companies. Negotiations are a snap after that. "Hey bob, the changes say they're willing to pay through the ass for our product." "Excellent."
It'll be fun when your users start checking in 30MB msword documents every 20 minutes. Watch your vss database grow to a monolithic size and promptly implode. Oh but don't worry, MS has very clear instructions on how to recover from that.

Yes AC is efficient for changing voltages but nowadays there are extremely efficient DC to DC convertors.
