Marvel is doing a very nice and very, very authentic translation. They started with W&G, I believe. It's working out very very nicely so far. They've also got a King-approved-and-guided added section, connecting the end of W&G to the Incident with Roland's mother and the Grapefruit. It's a nice little thing.
The first movie should be Young Roland, his training and Trial, and Susan, the Barony of Mejis, and the journey home. The first movie should end with Roland's mother. The first miniseries/series should cover the walk through the desert, finally catching up to Walter, and falling asleep. The second movie should cover the beach, the Doors, and entering Lud. The second series should cover the riddling and journey..... Ah crap, I ran out of movie/show to schedule. There's too much left.
This is a monstrous task. I hope the crew and producers are up to the challenge.
Odd, I have iTunes on a Core i7 running Windows 7 and 6GB of ram and it moves very nicely. It sometimes gets hung temporarily while syncing my iPad, but not often, and it has always recovered.
I haven't used iTunes on my one Apple-branded computer in quite some time because my iMac will not charge my iPad. Battery draining while syncing is very lame.
I have Frash on my iPad now, and it makes one thing clear: Flash assumes you have a keyboard and mouse. Lots of Flash runs under Frash, but I get hung up on things like "press spacebar to continue".
Flash may be here to stay, but the keyboard/mouse assumptions will be a problem moving forward.
I dunno, I think the Courier has it beat. Cancelled before it was released... Or even prototyped... Only announced, just in time to FUD away some iPad sales. Thing is, if they'd waited more before announcing Courier was dead, they would have FUDded away still more iPad sales. As it was, I waffled a little, they canned it, and I bought my iPad. Lousy timing.
I had a Kindle 1, have a Kindle 2i, have an iPod Touch, and have an iPad.
My house is apparently less naturally lit than yours, the backlight on my iPad is worth much more than the eInk's readability.
I further suggest color, which I hadn't realized how much I was missing, and the ability to CHANGE THE GORRAMN FONT.
Both the Kindle iPad app and the native iBooks reader allow font changes. Amazon clearly realizes it's wanted, so why one font only on Kindle?
Also, while the iPad loses badly to Kindle in direct sunlight, it wipes the floor with eInk while reading in bed. Now I can crank my brightness to the bottom notch, turn out all other lights, and read a softly glowing book. My wife with the K2i needs the bedstand light on, or has to try and perch an LED light just so.
While the debate of 'BETTER IN SUNLIGHT' versus 'BACKLIT!!' will go on forever due to personal tastes and eye ability, I leave you with this parting (cheap) shot: Comic books. Yeah. Rocks.
Every week, Hollywood produces hundreds of pilot episodes. These are screened and the vast majority (~99%) are dismissed, never to be seen by anyone beyond the test screening audience.
If Hollywood had half a brain between the lot of them, they'd start a pilot episode channel via the different on-demand delivery systems (Hulu/Netflix/Comcast VOD/Verizon VOD) and get their pilots screened to an order of magnitude more people.
The difference here is that Pioneer One has put their pilot up on TPB and the like instead of on some Hollywood stooge's desk, and they're greenlighting themselves for more episodes, no matter what.
It's really not as different as it initially appears.
Steam is slower on Mac for multiple reasons. The OpenGL drivers are not optimized for gaming and the games are having to run on a relatively new and unoptimized rendering path, just for the top two.
EFI vs. BIOS is not part of the scenario. At all.
And to the GP, while I don't subscribe to the popular "MACS ARE FASTER THAN PCS" argument, I do believe they are better integrated and designed than most PCs. They're also more expensive. My HP 8530p is cheaper than the similar Macbook Pro, and just as well integrated and designed. Heck, it even uses UEFI. Speed does not enter into the equation.
Actually, you have no idea what you're talking about.
I present as evidence the iPod 5G, circa 2005.
Apple has been using "XG" to indicate product generation for a long time. Their phones having overlapping product generation/wireless generation was a fluke that they ran with.
Likewise, I expect the upcoming iPhone refresh to be titled the "iPhone HD".
Thanks for taking the time to take a swipe at Apple. Hopefully next time your point will work better.
Exactly. I already had World of Goo, and haven't even fired up any of the Indie Bundle, despite buying it last week. I will get to it, I paid primarily to make sure things like the Bundle keep happening.
Actually, as someone who actually BOUGHT the bundle in TFA, I'd like to make note that the OS reporting is voluntary, not linked to the OS running at purchase time, and done when you get the email, not when you're typing in your Paypal/CC info. I registered as Linux, as that's what I have on the most machines, and most care to use, but I probably spend most of my clock time on Windows, either at work (where Windows is mandated), or at home playing the ~50% of games I want to play that aren't available under Linux, or at least not cleanly/easily.
I'm looking forward to this hypothetical Linux Steam client, as it'll let me do more of my gaming on my OS of choice.
I have a router with gigabit ports. Know why? Because feeding a 300Mbit wireless link from a 100Mbit wired link is sad.
If you need 802.11n, odds are you want more than 100Mbit/s into it.
And yes, I do watch HD media over the air, so 802.11g with it's nominal 54Mbit is not enough. Granted, most of my media is under 20/30Mbit, but it also needs to read ahead to buffer at startup, and get a consistent throughput of at least the bitrate of the media.
I'm sure your next snark would be to tell me to get separate 802.11n WAP, router, and gig switches. Not all of us want that many devices to maintain, and my WRT300N and three 8 port gig switches is a fine solution.
Guess I should be glad I was already logged in. (Ok, not sure why anyone would care.) I'm still logged in (cookies, I suppose), and clicking my own username at the top gets it, so I think you're right.

At 0.1C, that'll be a HELL of a flyby. Anybody have enough napkins to figure out the gravity cone and slingshot distances for that speed? My math broke when I tried.
Actually, I feed my iPod Touch's Kindle.app non-DRMed books off of my Kindle 2 international all the freaking time.
My eventual plan is a Kindle DX for home reading (most of it), and an iPhone for books on the road. Even the smaller Kindle 1 and 2 are just a tiny bit too big for convenient road use.
Sense of touch can be valuable too. You can get sub-audible vibration readings by touching a case, and touch is more sensitive to small amounts of temperature change than other senses. Likewise it can be a really exciting way to check for failing/floating ground.

The definition of fiction is 'Not all documented truth', not 'contains no documented truth'. A subtle but important distinction.
To clarify further: Because a quote is from a game or movie it can have no truth in it?
I don't know about you, but the thought of dying at the end does not diminish my enthusiasm for being one of the first human beings on Mars.

Argh. That was supposed to be 200-250Mbit and 280Mbit. I converted to MB/s and back, and didn't finish correctly.
Depends on your setup. As I type, I'm running 20-25Mbit/s over my WLAN on average. Peak so far was 28Mbit/s for a brief period.
There's cheap junk, there's nice 54g, then there's cheap 802.11n, and at the top is the good stuff. If it's not 3X3, it's not really 802.11n!
I have a router with gigabit ports. Know why? Because feeding a 300Mbit wireless link from a 100Mbit wired link is sad.

I went to TFA and found no evidence of "Frolicking" unless a shrimp humping a video cable is now considered sex.
I'm pretty sure that it means EXACTLY that, for the shrimp at least.
