    MP3 player rant

    I think the idea behind the mobiblu player is that you wear it around your neck like a pendant/lanyard.

    MP3 player rant

    Exactly... It's not like they're going to beat Apple at Apple's own game. Apple has had decade of making inferior products that sell at a premium in the marketplace. It's time to make solid useful products at a reasonable price. Do they really expect people to watch video on these cell phone...

    MP3 player rant

    There are players like that in the US, but I haven't seen that exact one. That one looks alright except for the overly basic display (no text support), and the short'ish battery life. Basically, I want a player like this or this except with 2GB of memory. Dare to dream... :evil:

    MP3 player rant

    Continuing my earlier rant... Lexar also makes a very basic player that uses SD cards, but it's a little big, and is kinda cheap looking, and it lacks a resume feature. PNY makes a pretty basic 2GB player, but apparently it doesn't resume where it left off if you turn it off (only if it shuts...

    MP3 player rant

    Why aren't there any competent 2GB flash based mp3 players? I want a MP3 player, not a video/photo player. I have a 512MB Samsung YP-T6X that I won that I really like. Why can't someone make a 2GB player like this. Instead we get color displays, proprietary connectors, and players that don't...

    We are turning communist

    You proved my point. You're not a habitually poor person. You obviously are no longer poor, so you obviously were fiscally responsible enough to change your situation. The vast majority of people who are habitually poor are fiscally irresponsible and have themselves to blame for staying in...

    We are turning communist

    This has nothing to do with capitalism. This has to do with the mentality of a poor person vs. the mentality of a rich person. If I give a poor person $10k, and give a rich person $10k, the poor person will piss the money away on beer, women, lotto tickets, a new big screen TV, and chrome rims...

    You can have different versions of .NET installed on a PC at the same time. I assume that means they're not backwards compatible.

    Quicktime (Mac vs. PC)

    Why is it that a dual core Macbook Pro 1.866GHz can play the Quicktime 1080p trailers with no problems, but they need a 3GHz Dual Core P4 on a PC? Is the Mac version of QT that much better optimized?

    Sorry, but you're incorrect. The 1GB version tested by Anand, and ArsTechnica tested a 512MB version. If you look at Corsair's site you'd see that the 256, 512, and 1gig versions are capable of - Supports sustained read speed up to 19MB/sec - Supports sustained write speed up to 13MB/sec...

    Right, we'll just shred the constitution and send the military in to force people from their homes before the storm hits and hope the ends justify the means. I'm not going to sit and argue that the federal/state/local gov't was prepared. Of course they weren't as well prepared as they could...

    Thanks for the belated wishes. The pictures not too bad. I'm still working on getting down the whole studio lighting thing. There's a bit of lens flare going on in that one (over my right shoulder). I'm pretty sure I have that one solved for future pictures.

    Speak for yourself. A woman with a flat chest reminds me of a man (especially if they have short hair). I'm not attracted to men, so I likewise don't find women who look like men attractive.

    Where are the big 4:3 LCDs?

    The better question is why do you want a monitor with such a low dpi. The human visual system can easily see ~200 dpi at the typical monitor distance, so the real questions is why aren't we seeing monitors with higher than 100 dpi (20" 1600x1200 monitor). 15.4" WUXGA displays are pretty nice...

    I've found that running nVidia and ATI cards together in a PC is near impossible. They have drivers that simply do not play well together. We have a stack of PCI ATI Radeon 7000's here at work, and they will not get along with any recent nVidia card if you try to load recent drivers for both...
