I'm a dealer for National Specialty Lighting. Although mostly known for their rope light (including LED rope light), they also make pro-grade xmas lighting.
"Suggested Retail" is $11.95 per string. Case-lot discounts begin at 24 strings.
Just FYI, of course. I'm not trying to advertise here, just inform. Many electrical supply houses (where the real electricians buy stuff) are National Specialty Lighting dealers. You might try one of them.
they used the newly mastered DVD/Video digital data in consideration with the fact that the DVD should be played on Liquid Crystal TV or Plasma TV
Bullshit. If there were special white balance considerations just for LCD or Plasma TVs, then everything else you would watch on those TVs would look wrong, because their white balance wasn't 'specially altered' for viewing on those devices.
If your CRT/LCD/etc. isn't calibrated to the same white point as the rest of the world, then everything but this DVD would look bad.
Disney just doesn't want to admit they fucked up. Again.
Mac games typically don't get ported until they've proven their worth on the PC side.
That means Mac users are less likely to waste money on games of the "quality" of Daitakana.
In other words, we don't need a guide. If the game is worth owning it's been ported, because PC users have already separated the wheat from the chaff for us. ^_^
Disney doesn't know how to promote a movie without the usual BurgerKing/McDonalds/Target/Sears tie-ins.
Because Disney doesn't hold the merchandising rights to the Ghibli catalog, they will never promote these movies as they should be promoted. Remember: Disney gains nothing from the success of these movies, and loses nothing if they fail.
There is also quite a bit of Not-Invented-Here attitude that is quite apparent in what little promotion there has been.
I was lucky enough to see Spirited Away on the big screen. My girlfriend and I went to the 7:45 PM showing on a Saturday. We were the only ones in the audience. The print looked almost new, as if the theatre hadn't been bothering to run it to an empty house. Local promotion? There was only the simple one-line listing in the newspaper. There were NO posters, one-sheets, lobby cards, stand-ups, or anything in or around the theatre. No wonder I got a private showing. Even if the general public had heard of the movie, no one would know it was playing at that theatre.
To sum up: Disney is burying this movie, just as they did with Mononoke. It may not be entirely intentional, but it is still occuring.
1. "Being clear-headed about money, how do you view open approach to technology? Do you think that making Macintosh parts open (as in clonable hw and free sw) would have leveraged information tools better than what happened back in 80's and what's still happening today? If, how? Now that you are free to try again, are you considering taking care that APIs and HW specs are available for others to build on, reverse engineer and share?"
My guess would be that it would have gone just as well for Apple as it did for IBM's PC division.
Why do you think it's right for a seller of a physical product to tell you what you may or may not do with that product after the lawful sale?
They aren't telling you what you can or can't do with the product. They are telling you that you can or cannot take advantage of their service (the servers.)
Modded xboxes aren't welcome on their servers for the same reason modded games (cheats) aren't welcome on other game servers.

But I do want to save the VHS video tapes onto a more permanent medium.
Unless you are carving those Ones and Zeros into a gold platter, you're not saving to a more permanent medium.
In the short-term, a digital storage medium may allow more accesses before data degredation, but for the long-term no digital storage medium can be considered "permanent."
If they want to make it easier to switch, all they have to do is drop the price 50%.
No, no. They should make them FREE!
And they should be based on x86 architecture, and have all the legacy ports ever used, and put Windows on them ('cause, you know, Solitaire), and 5 1/4" floppy drives, and a DVD+R drive, and a DVD-R drive, and, and, and...
They probably could drop the price 50%, but I don't really want to run MacOS on PackardBell hardware.

Then they asked me how long I wanted them, and, well, since I was building a house, I told them I would want them for a long time.
( I just wanted to be the first to make this prediction for this particular year.)
- A pissed-off shopper calling Amex while standing at a checkout counter. Yes, I even got his mother's maiden name.
- A cop talking to an informant. Early on, the cops had no clue that we might be listening to them.

You're welcome.
Nevermind the battery. Sounds like a drive crash. Damn Macs; How dare they use hard drives!

When have any manufacturer's "base requirements" been enough for optimum use?
What is "proprietary" about Apple's hardware, and how is it different from the "proprietary" hardware that Dell, Sony, and Gateway sell?
Oh, I see you're an ignorant troll. Nevermind.(I know what you meant. I'm just silly.)
