No, AT&Ts service is just crap. Think about every single skyscraper, badly-maintained car (making spark-gap emitters is trivial if you don't tighten the spark plug down properly) and brick wall in NY.
" Not everybody outside of the tech world knows what the E55, Hero, or GW620 are."

My PSP does more things than a Droid. And with the new hacked firmware, even my phone calls are 100% free.
DROID DOESN'T. NEITHER DOES APPLE. THE PEOPLE WRITING THE SOFTWARE - DO.
I called Wells Fargo before my last cross-country trip - They immediately locked me from $2,000 daily limit to $200, I got stranded because I filled up for gas and then had not enough left for the rest of the day to cover my hotel expenses - I had to sleep in my car in the freezing cold in a fucking parking lot.
And when they said they raised it back up - they lied. They cut it down to $150.
Of course, as soon as I got back, I withdrew all of my money and made a very loud statement in the lobby to all of the customers present. I think two followed my suit.
You tell them you're going around the country, they'll lock your shit down so you don't make THEM off-balance. They're the ones playing dirty with your money. What, you ain't seen the bailout?
But hey, I guess you're too ignorant to think maybe the sheer amount of skyscrapers and concrete in NY would be one major cause of insufficient ability to handle calls.
But you just blame Republicans - might as well blame yourself for not keeping the Republicans in line, you tool.
I was going to say, if you dared mention NetBurst I'd have to smack you silly.
BTW video encoding has been done on much, much weaker systems. I've been doing HD encoding (frame by frame) on a Pentium 2 266MHz. Sure, it may take a longer amount of time to get a finished result, but the results are, for the most part, one and the same, on a slower computer or faster one.
Most people just don't have patience, and thus we end up in this particular situation because of it.
Umm, an x86 processor hasn't existed since the Pentium Pro. Where did you learn your computer science? x86 has been EMULATED IN HARDWARE right on the die since the release of the Pentium Pro. It does multitasking VERY WELL. Cool Edit + Fruity Loops + Virtual Audio Cable and then some, all running at the same time on an old P3 without any issues. Guess what? My current AMD AthlonX2 dual-core can't even do that without major stuttering.
"you might want to think about how well these 800mhz processors can multitask a phonecall with instant messaging and other things considering the speed difference."
Very slowly, actually. In fact, most can't really multitask that well, and trying to web browse on a smartphone while on a phone call is nigh-impossible. iPhone, Droid, doesn't matter. Every one I touch and try multitasking on makes my Pentium 3 look like a Ferrari.
The ARM Jaguar was 64-bit, and was the ONLY 64-bit ARM processor ever made. It was made to power the next generation of 3G wireless devices (and this was back in.. 2001?)
What are you talking about? AMD pretty much owns the x64 market, since Itanium flopped hard. QPI is *JUST NOW* catching up with HyperTransport in bandwidth capability. AMD has been able to offer fewer features on their chips and STILL get the performance needed simply because they had superior design (on-die memory controller, moved away from FSB.) Intel has been playing catch-up. Shit the IGP AMD/ATi offers blows away anything Intel can put out.
More isn't necessarily better.
Give me a Pentium 3, 512MB of PC3200, a decent GPU, and some people that know how to write tight optimized assembly code, and I'd laugh at anything anybody puts out today. The only reason we need more of anything, is because most people simply don't know how to program and rely upon high-level abstracted development interfaces and languages to achieve the same performance on beastly hardware that we got using pure assembler and plug-in math co-processors a decade ago.
It's a plug, no matter how you look at it. We don't allow it, for the purposes of legal safety. Ugh, Apple users and their absolute lack of common sense or even the purpose of a community.
Youtube is meant to have all that garbage. Vimeo wants educational and unique things, not REVIEWS.
Please, shut your mouth unless you know what the fuck you're talking about. You're obviously not a Vimeo member, otherwise you'd not be saying the stupid bullshit you're saying right now. We paid to keep that garbage off our site, save on our bandwidth, and avoid any potential legal liability by people going "You don't have the right to broadcast that image!" FUUUU LAWYER RAGE.
Better learn how deep the legal shithole goes, son, before you make more inane comments.
Ahh, the joys of a fool that knows not the actual purpose of the site.
NO PLUGGING THINGS IN ANY MANNER - REVIEWS, ETC ARE NOT ALLOWED.
This is made perfectly clear in the ToS and in most forum posts regarding this nature. If you don't like that, get the hell off the site. We want CONTENT. I provide CONTENT by educating people how to make simple workable hydroponics systems. Don't mention brands or any trademarked or copywritten stuff - we don't want that on our site, we don't want the fucking legal liability, what can you not understand?
Perhaps you should have watched the original clips in question - Regardless of the 'review' or 'critique' nature, they were made by the game creators - that counts as an advertisement. NO ADVERTISEMENTS. If you don't understand how we intended this site to work, then don't make any assumptions about it. The guy in your video HAS NO CLUE. If you're going to show the game - you'd better be talking about the technical details of the engine behind it, or how such and such function allows this and that to happen. No reviews, no advertisements. What's so hard to understand about that? Vimeo wants EDUCATIONAL AND UNIQUE VIDEOS - NO PLUGS OF ANY SORTS.

Yes, in fact I did report both of those games to Vimeo as ToS violations. GET YOUR FUCKING ADVERTISING OUT OF MY GODDAMNED FACE. I PAID TO HAVE A SITE WITHOUT ADS - HERE YOU ARE ADVERTISING A GAME. GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY LAWN.
Pay attention to Vimeo's Terms of Service. This has even been discussed multiple times in their forums - demoing a game counts as advertising the game - ADVERTISING IS NOT ALLOWED.
Ugh people that don't know the rules just make me so sick.
In which they absolutely, clearly, in no unfuckingcertain terms:
No commercial use of Vimeo. (simplified for those that don't want to read the legalese.)
Demoing a goddamned game you developed is a commercial use - you're advertising to effect, and that's NOT ALLOWED.
Why, yes, I am a paying Vimeo Plus user. I pay so they can afford to spend the time making sure I don't get a place cluttered with ADVERTISEMENTS. If you want to advertise your game, go to an advertisement service.
Do NOT blame Vimeo for others failure to understand their ToS.
I have read the book, that is why I mention it. Even a google search on 'tying is anti-competitive' brings up US vs Microsoft right under the wiki result for Tying. Hey, there's even a little quote:
"Judge Jackson issued his findings of fact on November 5, 1999, which stated that Microsoft's dominance of the Intel-based personal computer operating systems market constituted a monopoly, and that Microsoft had taken actions to crush threats to that monopoly, including Apple, Java, Netscape, Lotus Notes, Real Networks, Linux, and others. Then on April 3, 2000, he issued a two-part ruling: his conclusions of law were that Microsoft had committed monopolization, attempted monopolization, and tying in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act,"
Now, we have to look at sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act to see what's meant:
Section 1:
"Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal."]
Section 2:
"Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony [. . . ]"
Section 2 seems to be the more damning one: ATTEMPT TO MONPOLIZE being the key operative phrase to use from that section.
Today's laptop is equivalent to the workstation behemoths of the late 90s.
In other words, perfect enough to use for development of anything BUT games, and perfect enough to use for most anything else.
Even I have a little powerful laptop hooked to a huge monitor and external keyboard/mouse. In California, not having a space heater for a computer is a good thing.

Direct manipulation of a physical implement. So, we won't even have to flex our muscles? Just use our brains?
I think Sony was already in line for that patent, like 3 years ago.
practically everything is a fourier transformation anyways, what's the big deal?
No, AT&Ts service is just crap. Think about every single skyscraper, badly-maintained car (making spark-gap emitters is trivial if you don't tighten the spark plug down properly) and brick wall in NY.

No, it's the alcohol, which fucks your internal pH, along with the other shit in the drink.
The trick is to drink enough water to keep your pH from going off - this is how you die from alcohol poisoning.

I am an independent producer of educational hydroponics videos. "Hey, guise, let's review some games nobody's heard of" is a far cry from that.
