If they are that small, and that efficient, why are we not decentralizing power sources.
I cannot believe they would continue to use transmission lines, and such.
"With Guitar Hero, you can spend a short amount of time practicing, and feel like a lead guitarist on tons of classic songs. Maybe I don't want to spend years learning to master the guitar. Maybe I just want to play for a while, feel like a lead guitarist, and then get back to my life. What's wrong with that?"
Nothing is wrong with that. It is in fact your life.
If you make it to the very end of said life never strumming a string, then great!
However, that feeling "like a lead guitarist on tons of classic songs" is self-delusion.
Having no idea how it feels you confused reality with delusion.
Please allow me to clear the air for you.
Reality : Guitar hero is fun, entertaining, and enjoyable. (for you)
and you are just ripping through a song perfectly, you fuel a reaction. The next thing you know, you've found it, that feeling. That feeling is(IMO) second to only one other.

TA mentioned Google (Google Earth) as the "threatened" app.
Microsoft doesn't "feel" anything, especially not threatened.
In hopes of enlightening you as to why the conquest-like mentality the corporation seems to take, well, that's MS.
I get agitated from time to time with their products, yep but why is everyone so ready to get the torches and pitchforks?? I, for one, am not. Perhaps if Microsoft festers/ferments just a little more..... Nah, light the torches!

This is extremely offencive. I am glad it isn't my state, but worry a precedence could be set here.
How many americans are sick and tired of hearing that the government does not think you have the capability of raising your children?
Sounds to me like Utah approves of using the internet as a computerized babysitter.
I do not need a filter. The content that exists on the internet is there. I can monitor my childs surfing. It's quite an amazing concept i have here.
Imagine this: Parent and child interaction.
Surf with me son, or dont surf at all.
end of problem.
Perhaps we can completely baby-proof everything for them, render a fairy-tale utopia right under their noses. That way, when they are 18, we can remove the utopian lie, and tell them the truth.
Yes son, this is hell.
How will the kids feel then?
I disagree with the benefits of RAID in this case. While HDD is probably the best (for now) storage, I'd use it as a default due to lack of a better medium.
A) HDD is simply too fragile to rely on. A drop, a static discharge, electromagnetic fields, OS errors... The list goes on.
B) The purpose of the study is to find the best storage medium and format for a permanant archive of dance footage. Therein lies another problem for HDD usage. The footage is going to be a huge amount of data. Right now we are quickly approaching terabyte sized HDD's. If they were to use the biggest, most expensive drives available to date, they will still fill drives. This requires drives to be handled, which IMO is a mistake if the data on them is irreplacable.
I agree with the conclusion on codecs, and thank the poster for this info. I was needing this information just as I logged in.
I do think the conclusion on storage was not the best one though. This conclusion is temporary at best. Hopefully somewhere someone had the next million-dollar idea in storage. Permanant, indestructable, versatile and gigantic. Thats what we need.
I beg to differ.
If this is an application for war, it's purpose is NOT to light up the night. With the night vision tech troops now carry, night's darkness is a great advantage.
Unless they are going to light it up blindingly bright;)
It appears that supply and demand had worked. Someone has made an attempt to tap into the (more informed) market. The market which would rather not have a stranglehold DRM file.
I for one prefer CD's, though my interest in music has been tainted by the greedy attitude of the RIAA.
Whats dvorek?? I am just getting used to the qwerty keyboards.. after years and years of use... go figure..
Irony has its merits though. The layout (querty) really works. It may be set up to slow one down but I feel that there won't ever be a layout to replace. The microphone might keep our hands off of the keyboard more and more, but it'll be there for quite a while longer.
53 keys.. neat
"The point is... people with sleeping disorders need to have the disorders fixed"...
HUH??
Name one sleep disorder that a cure has been discovered for.
None.
Treatment is all the help there is available.
I have Narcolepsy, I sleep 8 hours a day max.
I am prescribed amphetamines to keep me alert.
Taking those alone keeps the weight off, so I don't apply.
I do know though that the majority of people with narcolepsy I have met(online support groups, conventions) are overweight...
Who knows.
Eggs are bad for you, studies say.
Eggs are good for you, studies say.
I agree, It was amusing.
I never thought twice about it. It wasn't that bad. Kinda like finding out mom or dad were the santa bunny fairy. All over again.
Bummer. Hah, got us. Move on.

We need a super fast water molecule splitter. We can breath oxygen, and burn the hydrogen.
The NES Maxx, A horrible POS, should have been on the list. I have never had a controller I disliked more than Maxx. My personal "#1 most hated" Lac

Hey I spelled that from memory after reading the article. I was close. The question, however, was rhetorical. Thanks for the tip though.
