Well, if it's anything like the first ngage, it will be selling for 1 euro + contract within one month of release. Oh wait-you mean that was flop pricing, not special promo pricing?
I'm seeing a lot of replies about using camera technology to steady the picture. If you've ever done real work with real film cameras, like a Bolex 16mm or similar, you would know that a film camera costs a fortune for one that doesn't do much but allow exposure adjustments and focus. When I was doing amateur film on 16mm, the cheapest we could get a functional 16mm film camera for was about $500. Film costs a lot of money as well, plus paying for processing can really bankrupt a project. The last project I was involved in cost about $300 for processing and film on a 6 minute film at about 8:1 shooting to final ratio (so about 50 minutes of actual footage). Most amateur filmmakers I know cannot afford $300-500 for even a steadicam knockoff that would add 1 cool shot to their short. We actually rented a steadicam rig similar to what this guy did for $50 for a weekend on the 6 minute short, and I wish I had at least tried to build this. The filmmakers I used to work with are truly starving artists (what do we do-buy another 16mm roll or eat today?) and are very willing to save money on things like this. I think I will send this link to one of them. When you're dealing with classical film, it's not always as easy as "fixing it in final cut pro". Time in an editing studio, even if you do the work yourself, is always expensive. This guy has shown something that has real use to people who cannot afford "Image Stabilization" on their camera, and even if they could, wouldn't use it. Not everyone uses Hi8 or MiniDV, especially if they're a purist.
except 12" powerbook and ibooks. So actually only the 15" and 17" powerbooks have gigabit. Oh, and also all iMacs and eMacs have "only" 100Mbit. So to amend again, the only macs with gigabit are G5s and the 15" and 17" powerbook, which is not even half of the apple line.
I work for a Mac-based scientific institute, and have the new iMac on my desk. It's my secondary computer. We have maybe 100 in the building. It's actually a very nice machine. I would have never touched the old iMac, but this one is rather nice for real work. Small footprint, dvd-burner, tft. I still wouldn't buy one for home, but that's because I'm not really a mac guy.
graphics card drivers, network drivers, tv-out, many things that have drivers in windows that don't in linux. this is the only situation i can think of.
How would you sue Linux? Can you serve documents to a tarball? It seems more and more people try to think of Linux as a corporation, as an entity. You can't sue Linux. You can sue Linux companies, but our friends in Utah show how well that works. The most that will happen is XPde will be C&D'd to stop distributing. But what do they care? They're not making money from it. They will comply, and another lookalike will be squashed, proving the need for a coherent, non-imitating *nix desktop. Remember, this is not a new problem (coughCDEcough). Until we have one, i'll stick to Windowmaker on my Linux, thank you.
but standard PAL tv also has the headache-inducing interlaced 50Hz scan rate, while NTSC is slightly better at 59.94Hz interlaced. there are tradeoffs with both. I have a PAL-60 tv, so my gamecube plays at 60hz interlaced, but my local terrible Saechsich television stations still use standard pal.
wow. have you ever heard of the early-adopter-penalty? How is this different from any other technology in the history of the world? Can you afford the highest-speed Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 or Dual G5? I can't. But remember, this phone coming out will make phones that came out 6 months ago cheaper. Remember this in a year when this phone is given away with every mobile phone contract. Until then, I'll be enjoying my 7250 I bought right after the price dropped. Small form factor, good keypad, everything I want in a phone, plus a crappy 352x288 camera that I have taken some good memories with when I didn't have my digicam on me. This phone cost $1200 when it came out, and I got it for a tenth of that. Now it's free with contract. Welcome to the real world.
I'm a sysadmin at a mostly-mac scientific institute. Some of the labs allow scientists to bring in personal laptops, and we have many windows laptops that are personally owned. I understand the problem, and how these scientists need their own computers, but it is nothing but a pain for us because their computers aren't patched, aren't virus-scanned, etc, and when they bring them home to work on their dsl lines, these scientists end up bringing an infected computer in which spreads to all the windows-only instrument computers. Thus, I will be the last person to condone personally-owned equipment-it provides nothing but headaches to our department.
this is the first time i've installed the kernel and had it running before the slashdot announcement! i just checked the new one after lunch. blasted centrino ultralights need all this new stuff in them. I think i'll go celebrate "I beat slashdot's unnecessary kernel release announcement day!"

Yes, that is clear. I never thought chicago's crime totals would be 0 before the algorithm though. I guess once the algorithm is run, the crime totals vacillate between 1 and 0 each time it is run. Interesting-who is the 1 and why can't this person make up his/her mind if they were mugged or not?
i mean always return 0. ugh. embarrassing to try and make a funny point because of a misuse of == vs =, and end up screwing up. I feel like one of those people who complain that someone else used bad "grammer".
wooo! i ate at a German McDonald's today! They have a new sandwich that was quite good, plus schokobaellchen (potato balls filled with chocolate) that I don't quite understand.
The main problem in my eyes is the fact that a biometric system turns a fingerprint or retina scan into a string of ones and zeros. If the software is cracked to reveal this string, then the person who belongs to the fingerprint is *permanently* compromised. You can't change fingerprints like you can passwords.

how come nokia's web site for this phone mentions absolutely nothing about RFID?

testing will work too. I did it today.

you're new here, aren't you?
didn't work.
Here in Germany, my girlfriend always orders a beer for herself at the pub before I can even sit down. It's quite a kick.
Yes, that is clear. I never thought chicago's crime totals would be 0 before the algorithm though. I guess once the algorithm is run, the crime totals vacillate between 1 and 0 each time it is run. Interesting-who is the 1 and why can't this person make up his/her mind if they were mugged or not?
i mean always return 0.
ugh. embarrassing to try and make a funny point because of a misuse of == vs =, and end up screwing up. I feel like one of those people who complain that someone else used bad "grammer".
Hmm. That statement will always return -1:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(){
int crimetotals=100;
int temp;
temp = (crimetotals == crimetotals * 0.84);
printf("temp = %d\n",temp);
}
Running gives:
temp = 0
I guess that is a good way to decrease crimetotals, as you can't really beat 0.

wonderful response.
brilliant.

my bad. you're right. i apologize for wasting your time.
did you miss the Optical Audio Out connector in the picture?
