How many mbps is needed for that? Right now I get 50mbps downstream via Verizon FiOS. I thought you need at least 60mbps for that?
1080p Blu-rays with losslessly compressed audio average ~30Mbps. Highly compressed 1080p with lossy 5.1 audio can easily be done at DVD bitrates (7-8Mbps) and still look fairly decent. You will notice some banding and minor blocking, but it generally won't be so bad as to be distracting.
I wouldn't agree with that, The Office (the UK version at least, not the US sitcom), is a pretty accurate reproduction of a work place. Ricky Gervais wouldn't have been able to write that unless he had experience of such a place.
I guess that was sometime after he was doing this.
I'm not familiar with the Zino, so I read the specs then clicked the gallery link to get a look at the machine. Then I read the captions. Seems they need to get some things in order on their site. According to the gallery captions, there's an HDMI port, optional Blu-ray drive, integrated HD3200 graphics, and an AMD Athlon dual-core processor. Of course, none of those are available on the Zino. But if all of those actually were options, it would be a nice little machine worth considering...
Unfortunately I think most web sites will standardise on Windings.
There was an interview in Ray Gun magazine many years ago that was entirely set in Wingdings. David Carson (the art director for the magazine) talks about it briefly in the movie Helvetica.
Over a decade ago, feedback for Microsoft software took place by filling out surveys on paper and floppy disks sent in to the company's headquarters. The ubiquity of the Internet has led to more feedback, faster.
And yet they could have used the Internet for feedback well more than a decade ago. Glad to see they've finally entered the mid-90s.
How stupid could they possible have been? It's easy (with the correct equipment) to extract white text on a white background. They should have used style="display: none"
The 'correct equipment' being the ctrl/cmd-A keys? Or a mouse and the ability to click and drag?
- PUBLIC facing web configuration? I have never, ever, ever, seen a router that did that. Not even cheesy home routers.
Even the cheesy home routers have this as an option, but it's always buried deep in the 'advanced' configuration options, and it's ALWAYS disabled by default.
Joking aside, the ring divisions are labelled (from the closest to furthest) : D, C, B, A then F, G and finally E as the outermost ring.
Wonder what they will name this one, anyone good with sequence puzzles?
There's absolutely no doubt that this is what AT&T is trying to do. This is par for the course for nearly any industry. As soon as the government starts looking into corporate practices and begins putting together something that will regulate an industry, that industry suddenly perks up, changes their behavior a little bit and says "No, see, we can self-regulate. No need to tell us what to do. The market is working." When in fact, if the market were working, the government wouldn't need to begin investigating those practices in the first place.
What? Texting and driving isn't already illegal in the USA? It's illegal in the UK, and quite right too. A car is a lethal weapon if you are not paying attention - and it's impossible to compose a text message while simultaneously maintain the necessary level of attention to driving.
But we're constantly getting conflicting messages on what to do from our media! How are we supposed to know what's right and what's wrong?!?

For certain values of 'Mark'. The Mark I know is about 400 lbs, so if thats the case, Superman, you are quite strong indeed.
According to xe.com, the Mark is currently about 0.46 Pounds.
It could be worse. You could be stuck in Lodi (again).

Ahhh, in that case, it at least makes some sense. I thought they'd just pulled the gallery copy from something else entirely.

It's been going downhill ever since that Tommy kid successfully sued Bally in the 70s...
Somehow, I doubt it would be easy to enable people who are BLIND to play video games. :/
Why not? "Press the X button. Now run after the red thing." Okay, maybe I see your point.
Let me be the first to say that this thing's gonna be huge!

The books need to be converted from the NTSC format that America uses to the inferior PAL system that European books use.
So the Europeans will get one-sixth more words and deeper blacks in their books?
The Zune is a huge flop inside the U.S. as well.
Informative? This seems more like a candidate for an 'Obvious' mod.
This is not a hack. This is leaving the key *on top* of the doormat.
To be fair, at least they painted the key brown so that it matched the color of the doormat. : p

Uhhh, yeah...
Butt dialing on a roller coaster?
He's clearly taking the Interplanetary Date Line into account in his calculations.
It's official! AmigaOS belongs to...the past.
Finally we have a hitch hiker's guide to Earth!
WTF are you talking about? Everything important to say about Earth can be summed up in two words.
That's why I only trust Slashdot to bring me tech journalism of the highest integrity.

The next one will clearly be I.
