Whoooo boy let me show you my medical history, then let me show you what I do for a living, and you'll be retracting that statement pretty rapidly, I will guarantee it.
"Threats don't generally work as well as you'd think."
The trick is tact, a firm tone, and a voice of authority at all times. Especially useful is whipping out certification cards and employee ID badges to the corporations whose product they are trying to hawk.
Whip out the Solectron HP Repair Team Lead badge, BB employees shut up when I tell them to quit taking nonsense to me.
'Do you REALLY believe that Best Buy, a company with revenues of 45 BILLION dollars in 2008, and a company who makes most of its money selling 'technology related goods', isn't having a technically savvy TEAM review things?"
having gone through the entire interview process and then cross-interviewing them - THEY ARE ALL FUCKING MORONS.
"The margins on selling electronics are painfully thin"
Only because they spend too much marketing instead of letting the product sell itself, duh. I make about 300% on all of my electronics and I'm STILL underselling versus most competitors.
Simple fact: Marketing eats massively into your profits - you want more profits quit marketing constantly.
Sad you're unaware of the MULTIPLE DEFINITIONS of 'sync' my favorite one to counter your nonsense being "The degree in which a picture and accompanying sound are lined up together."
To synchronize is to either mirror or align. You either sync your smartphone and mirror its contents to your pc or vice-versa, or you sync audio to match up with the video track.
For someone so pedantic about a definition you'd think you'd know the other definitions that completely nullify the nonsense you just spoke.
You need to get with the times. Ni-Zn overall hasvoltage much closer to alkaline cells AND higher mAh capacity, and we have nicked the problem of whiskers forming on the anode.
Now we're just waiting for it to be made in AAA size.
You're assuming quantum dots work like regular CMOS or CCD sensors - they do not. Please absorb that simple message and let people that work and innovate in the industry do their thing, eh?
*goes back to making a quantum-dot LED growing light*
"Lots of external USB/FireWire audio interfaces have XLR inputs (and sometimes even outputs). If you're doing "serious recording," you'll want to own such a device."
Actually, with all the lag USB or firewire introduces, no. I'm better off with a dedicated mixer board run to the line-in. Which is what I did.
Sadly, Windows 7 introduces so much lag (150+ms) that I have an XP partition just for doing recording (with an easily-correctable 10ms latency.)
That suspicion is that 360 owners are pretty much useless slobs with no ambition to try getting a girl in real life.
I think that's going to be a question on the employment application I'm creating. So far, all the 360 owners I know are lazy, shiftless bums, while all the ps3 owners I know work their asses off and usually have a much higher deal of intelligence and education.
I've had some battery-powered stand-alone microphones work awesomely with most any microphone jack in a laptop. Most headsets with built-in mics just seem to suck.
It's a giant crap-shoot. Best thing you can do is hope someone leaks the specs on a machine (or you're lucky enough to have inside connections to specs) or wait for some other sucker to get one and run a review on it.
Actually, the smaller and more sensitive quantum dots by themselves would be better for dark imaging, mainly because with so many more usable levels of sensitivity you could assign a noise level below a certain threshold to render as pure black and then work up from there. What would matter would be the degree of sensitivity these quantum dots have, and then the subsequent software that processes the sensor data.
If that doesn't immediately make you think of ULTRA-TINY SCALES, and thus lead you to think quantum dot silver grains thus quantum dots = higher MP in the same sensor size, I guess you should be handing in your geek card.
"and I've never seen a laptop with RCA connectors, ever."
Not surprising if your UID's anything to go by. RCA isn't just audio, RCA is a COMPOSITE cable and thus it would carry a video signal as well. You'd know this as 'the yellow jack next to the red and white ones' and if it wasn't included on the board it was almost always included as part of a breakout dongle cable included with the laptop if it were meant to have TV-out.
Most laptop microphones SUCK BALLS. From my Toshiba Satellite C210 to my now-gone HP DV9825, the microphones built-in at maximum boost and recording level would barely pick me up from a foot away. I don't like screaming at a laptop.
Now then, the new dv7 I have has microphones that pick EVERYTHING up, even if I turn on the garbage disposal on the other end of the house! It picks up the very faint hum of my air compressor (people think it's my desktop computer sitting next to the laptop,) and that's with boost 100% down and the recording volume level at 5 out of 100. (using windows 7)
I would much prefer a plug-in analog pre-amp for a microphone dedicated to gaming, though. Seriously, many headset microphones are also crap and useless without a pre-amp of some sort.
Older SBLive! Platinums (gold series) with certain breakout boxes had XLR. I had one. I should have NEVER sold it. had to buy a mixer board to get XLR back.
VSTi? Fruity Loops is what I'd use. I won't touch any version of FL higher than 3.56 though, so it's likely many newer VSTi won't work with older versions. Just like I won't move away from Cool Edit and upgrade to Audition. The added nonsense that I don't need and the extra bloat and subsequent slowdown in my creation process is not wanted.
Pure MIDI composition I use Guitar Pro and add in whatever instrument patch I need.
I've encountered much lag trying stock and kX drivers from live up to audigy 2 under linux. I've never worked it out. Switch to the onboard realtek, it works without lag.
But then I don't get too much support and what tools are available to you might be dependent upon your distribution.
Really any software can record to as many channels as you want, you just need the hardware capable of playing back that many channels.

Enlightenment granted. What, you didn't pay attention to vocabulary in English class?

USB doesn't have an IP address, anyways. Firewire does, but they don't make firewire versions of shutter glasses that i'm aware of!

Your first response should be "Any attempt at upselling will automatically cancel any interest I have in purchasing from your store."
If he persists you say "You are now harassing me and I will call the police if you do not stop."
After that, they pretty much will leave you alone and do exactly what you say.
His reply is terribly ignorant of the other existing recognized definitions of 'sync' which automatically nullify the argument.

I consider the taste reminiscent of the aftertaste of a fresh mango - slightly sweet, smoky, and then you've got that SLAM worse than a habanero.

So what about game links that open directly via IP address to a server and port that is specified?
Just because it can be abused doesn't mean it should be done away with entirely.

Again, this depends on the mic.
I've had some battery-powered stand-alone microphones work awesomely with most any microphone jack in a laptop. Most headsets with built-in mics just seem to suck.

key word - quantum.

Older Compaq audiostations came with RCA connectors for audio and video. Ditto some SGI machines.
Don't forget RCA can also carry a video signal (the yellow jack for VCRs/SNES) and was often included on older laptops when TV-out was a big feature.

"A half inch jack wouldn't make any sense in practice."
I see somebody doesn't own any XLR microphones.
Only efficiency improvements? Did you even bother reading the changelog and fixlist? You'd better read that again.
