A vote for the minority party in the US is a protest vote. Best case scenario is that you have different parties in charge of the legislative and executive branches. This is perfect and creates a government stalemate.
Unless your display is refreshing at 24 hertz or a multiple then you will always have a shudder. I don't buy these arguments from apparent Sony astroturfers touting BluRay sight unseen. I don't mean you, of course.
Actually I would say that Lucas' intelligent discourse on the momentum of film making proves that he _gets it_ and that he really doesn't care what you (or I) think.
You have to respect a complete lack of concern for the fans in deference to lording over a big pile of money. Consistency, even when consistently bad, is good because you know how to deal with something beforehand. Don't consume that which you don't like.
No one here with a Windows computer/installation specifically to play games? Or who upgraded their computers specifically to play Quake? In this illustrious circle if you reach back in time many many of us will have installed Windows95 specifically to play $newGame.
Not so far fetched, really. The real question is subjective: whether or not you like Halo.
Are those two options incredibly deplorable and distastefull to the average person who has gotten used to a society that makes it's own laws instead of being limited to laws set down by a Prophet from God 1600 years ago? YES. But as long as we have people willing to kill in the name of God, I don't see any choice.
See, THAT's just the thing. The threat is apparently amplified beyond reality. Osama just said that he would attack in America and the threat level wasn't raised. If there were armies of these people the attacks would be steady. We have had the war on drugs for decades now and drugs still pour into our nation.
People who incite violence should be dealt with swiftly. The problem is not, however, strictly from a Protestant Islamic revolution. The problem is that people are being told by radical clerics how to interpret the Qu'ran and not reading it to decide for themselves. This is in part due to lower literacy rates but moreover due to intellectual dishonesty on the part of the flock. This is the exact same problem as Christian fundamentalism. For example: Leviticus 18:22 says that homosexuality is an abomination before God. Okay, that is clear and so it is wrong. But if you read the whole book, Leviticus 11:12 says that eating anything from a river or sea that doesn't have fins and scales is an abomination. In effect, eating lobster bisque is just as wrong as taking the stiff one-eye.
The Qu'ran says that if you are at war with another nation you aren't allowed to destroy their trees. Not a particularly violent notion. The people that are preaching baby killing have distorted the book to an astonishing level, yes, but atrocities are okayed in both holy books. Pat Robertson, Osama bin Laden and I can all read the same passages and come away with radically different interpretations (though to be fair Pat and I are reading translated texts anyway [which makes literal interpretation nonsensical at face value {paranthetical thoughts make poor sentences but do illustrate how I think} ] ). The extremist view on anything is necessarily flawed because life is analogue.
If I were Bush I would consider the path of containment we as a nation pursued in a very pragmatic way for decades. Other nations lack of "freedom" is regrettable, but just as 5% unemployment is cold-hearted and intentional the containment of a threat you cannot extinguish is the only way I see to go forward. Our safety is paramount and it cannot be bought on the backs of atrocities. If you commit mass murder to eliminate threats you only create more.
All that being said, I stand by the "I don't know what the solution is" refrain. While I respect what you are saying I don't think that anyone really does.
It's the only reasonable solution for the problem.
Reasonable is a funny word. I myself find it unreasonable to flatten an entire culture due to an ill-defined fringe "threat". Sadly we must agree on some facts to base our discussion on. I appreciate your stance on this, I really do. I'll throw out a potential fact: Genocide is bad. Discuss.
It's never happened before in the history of the world.... It would be a UNIQUE occurance in all of history- I'd put more trust in the tactic that worked against semitic extremeists before, when Rome ran into this problem in 70 A.D.
The average person finds this solution deplorable. If we are to behave as an empire then maybe you are right. I don't think that empire is the solution (though it may be the reality on the ground). As I said before, I don't know what the solution is. As I'm not a nation state leader you'll need to cut me some slack on that.
Who would have thought that the PS3 or any computer for that matter would be capable of refreshing _ANYTHING_ 120 times per second? Oh wait, the PS2 could, given its astounding fill rate and 70+ million polygon per second capacity. Well, I suppose that any computer with a sufficiently fast RAMDAC (circa 1994) could update a scene that quickly. Shucks, since no perspective is provided on the scene complexity, there is no doubt that a Matrox Mystique 220 could draw a single polygon at 120 FPS.
Kutaragi will always promise the Nile. It is his job. In this case, he offered absolutely nothing.
I am on my sidekick more than my computer at home these days. I just read TFA from it. I am typing this now on it. The vastly different experience you referred to must mean outside in the country like I am now.
Your points are amazingly uninformed. I assume it is sincere, so let me offer this: Read up on post 90's chip developements for a few days and THEN review your posts.

Reflexively, I have difficulty downloading any movie with a "ED_" prefix. On a related note, it seems the mirrors can't get it up.

This will be very useful for all movies filmed at more than 24 FPS, like ______ and of course ____________. Clearly 1080p movies are a showstopper.
Seething rage; that is awesome. I really like the all caps, too. I hope I didn't set your day off wrong, friend.

I'll buy a 360 when Oblivion is out.
Side note: Who do we have to kill to get the XMBC team to release a commercial XB360 version?

We become what we fight, if we're going to win.

What are we fighting?

remember kids, reducing languages to the lowest level a computer can understand it can speed up your applications 100s
I really appreciate this stance and moreover your role. I make a fine living cleaning up after ninja coders like yourself.
I kid! I kid!
"Death to all extremists" is itself an extreme position. I am sorry to say that you are behaving as part of the problem here, friend.
I don't know what the solution is, but it probably entails reasonable people making an extraordinary stand worldwide. On its face that is unlikely.
They are believers. "We're making a better world. All of them. Better worlds."
Sorry bub, that combo cartridge wasn't available at launch. Hope you enjoyed Gyromite though.
That came later.
Years later I would still like a trackball in my game controllers.
That being said what the hell does a 602 based Pippen have to do with the xbox 360?

I am offended by that comment. I am really not all that vast (for an American).
If only it were open and broadband.
Pattern recognition is a hallmark of intelligence.
My thoughts on this new trend.
Hmmm...
More like a living will. The game isn't out yet. Maybe we could call it a premortem?
// TODO: Comment code.
Dude, you said AMD wasn't innovating. I read the whole post.
And I wasn't being rude. Then.
Now, let me just say that you MUST be in management to be as stupid and confident as you are. I look forward to ignoring your drivel.
Bad news friend: you look like the troll.
Your points are amazingly uninformed. I assume it is sincere, so let me offer this: Read up on post 90's chip developements for a few days and THEN review your posts.
I beg you pardon. You have my pity.
I _really_ wanted a 3DO when they launched. I played it at the local Babbages every time I went in. The graphics were amazing. I never bought one.
Fast forward to today - $700 console launch means awful flameout and riding on horrible "Army Men" Toy Story spin-off knock off crap.
Now I _really_ want a PS3... but pattern recognition is a hallmark of intelligence. If the price is high I'll take a pass.
