They will submit data, they wont blog. I guarantee the data collected wont be posted in threads like blogs. 1 pigeon won't post "ZOMG teh air is teh bad!" with another saying "its teh worse next door" It will be collected and processed. If it ins't, its useless. I am not trying to be a troll, just someone who is getting sick of the word blog. I am happy the masses have discovered that they too can contribute to the internet, but they need to realize there is more going on than blogging! ZOMG T3h BLOG!!!ocho!
Well i didn't elaborate enough. I get 5+ hours with battery to spare. Usually in the car rides going home. I bet near 6 hrs is doable with powerstrip to declock the video card etc... Fun challenge.
Good luck guys. Ive been following 3dmark for a long time, and since 3dmark2001 downloads keep getting worse. Not only is the benchmark a big file (560+MB) but there is something else going on today... The Empire at War demo is out, coming in at 742MB. For those who dont know, empire at war is a StarWars RTS from the makers of Command and Conquer and has positive reviews. Just a heads up
Wouldn't allowing people to use the net/cell phones more convenient make it far easier to say set off a bomb or something? I mean hell we're spending billions of dollars to prevent terrorism and now the airlines want to make it easier for the bad guys. I have mixed feelings with cell's in planes, wifi is ok.
Quite obvious. Digital SLR's are great for everybody. Versus 35mm film SLRs, the digital varients offer comperable performance, quality, backwards compatiblity with VERY EXPENSIVE lenses, and save the purchaser a fortune in film development costs.
35mm isn't dead, it just isn't as profitable as it once was.
oh where to start...The classic at comdex in 90' when Windows 98 bsod'd...
Last year at CES Windows MCE crashed when Bill demonstrated the photo software...
Any others come to mind?
sweet! I have been looking for a replacment for the rio Karma, the last one I knew to play ogg +flac. Thanks for pointing this out, good to know there are alternatives.
This is not new, I did it nearly 10 years ago with an old tv tuner and windows netmeeting. I set the tuner to the capture card, sound to the input, and boom I could broadcast video.
those shots look really really awful. I spent 75 bucks on an old tv tuner from avermedia, and that in conjunction with dscaler has been a great experience. Why on earth would you buy a video card with all of that junk built in? Not only does it cost more for each part (combined as 1 unit), but when you upgrade your video card you lose your capability? It just doesn't make sense.
Its quite clear what they are doing... The boxes will served cached copies of ALL websites, or retrieve copies if new, and all information concerning web traffic will be processed and or sent back to google hq. They will know everythign that goes on on the net by basically being the net. Crazy stuff.
I think its camera. If you watch the entire video you will see one instance where a boy swats at an incoming bubble and it is about the size of his hand (which is far larger than a silver dollar).
Well the captain of industry (or robber baron), whichever you prefer to call him, is doing his part. Like Carnegie and Rockefeller, he is making himself eternal by donating his wealth. Unlike Carnegie and Rockefeller, Gates has said he plans to spend it all and leave none of it to his kids/family. We will just have to wait and see;)
Ya, I think the preference comes from a life of using one type over the others. ALL of my professors, and some of the older students, prefer command line because that is what they grew up with. The youngers are far more adept at doing what needs to be done with a gui.
I am a student studying computer science and I have come into this discussion many times. My professors keep pushing us to use notepad-esque utilities to write our code, and use the command line in linux to compile and execute (well, we use makefiles but you know what I mean). This takes up a ton of time because the editors are inefficient, they do not show errors in real time, and to compile I must tab out and run the make...
So instead I write my stuff in my room on a real IDE like devcpp/eclipse/intellij idea and get things working there. It is indefinately easier there, for it simplifies and removes tedious tasks from my workload. I can cut hours off programming projects on these ide's because:
1. I understand the concepts and can apply them
2. I program in multiple languages, ergo commands work differently and are named differently
3. I can hit f5 to compile and it will tell me immediatly what is going wrong.
I understand why they wish for us to use command lines, use low level editors, but having grown up on windows/a gui based OS that exists to simplify tedious tasks, it makes more sense to me to do it like that. Anybody have similiar or disimiliar experiences?

I think they would be fired, I hope they dont turn you guys into fire! Oh noes! ;)
Dibs!
If her case is true, I hope that the RIAA is forced to explain or show HOW ON EARTH they were led to her.

Well, I hope other companies dont find out about resellerratings... or the amazon.com reviews... or um just about anything lol.

I run my 2ghz pentium m at 200mhz in the car to play mp3's. I get around 5 hours of constant playback with it downclocked to that level.

I can't remember what I thought of slashdot... so long ago.

oops, didn't include the tidbit that it wasn't their product for those who didn't rtfa.

I guess that cute animated kitty popup was right after all!
well, I think that proves that our collective conscience > their server.
