So I went and saw Lord of War Monday night after hearing good reviews. Well I walked in with 2 friends after paying $9.50 each to see 2 other people in the 177 capacity thearte.
I know they charge 50 cents more on weekends, but if they thought about it and charged...lets say $6 on Monday and Tuesday nights, they'd probably do better than 5 people at a 9:30 showing. From a business end, I'm shocked that places like Loews don't look to maximize their overall profits (in a positive way - not over pricing).
I'd like to know exactly what their sample size and expected percent error. I am not arguing that the number could be 56%, but saying 56.2% is like saying, There's a 75.3% chance of rain, +/- 5% The.3% really has no meaning.
This would be great for video games. Imagine instead of split screen, having dual screen on the same TV. You'd no longer cheat and see the other person picking there plays, and two player Halo would be taken to a new level.
I don't see it being that difficult for the console makers because the power in these things is already rediculous, so why not put dual component outputs one labeled left and the other right. That would also eliminate people's questions of "what about the sound."
Look at the posts yesterday about DVD Decrypter being shut-down...then compare that the supreme court not hearing this case on Lexmark's behalf. It seems that DVD Decrypter isn't even as bad as SSC, but they've been bullied literally to death. SSC found a way to "crack" Lexmark's trade secret, and then sold it off to Lexmark competitors. How can that not stand up, but "some company" can attack on the grounds of DRM violation?
Now correct me if I am wrong, but am I the only one that hasn't paid a cent for all of the Google software? I don't care if it's Alpha, Beta, or production. They provide some of the best services for some of the least (visually) intrusive advertising on the market.
If Microsoft wants to offer their products for free until they go gold, then by all means...
