Blu-Ray Attacks Microsoft, Microsoft Bites Back

part of the reason why they are pushing HD media is because of the deadline forced on TV networks I think. The Us government has set a deadline for when all stations need to be totally digital. I forget when this has to happen, but I think that may be the reason.

Wait... that makes absolutely no logical sense... it must be just to make another buck.

Apple Question

only thing I can add to that is that idvd only does dvd-r's and dvd-rw's. That is of course with an internal burner. An external burner may be able to do dvd+r's but it won't be able to do anything else. It's weird I know. Toast is the best software consumer-wise that I've used for my mac. The only thing I don't like about it is that you can't create dvd menus for your disks. This is a feature that I like about idvd. Now if you were to get DVD Studio Pro, which is about 400 bucks, you wouldn't have to deal with any of that stuff.

never mind, i read the previous three pages of this topic and found out why he got banned. the thing is, he is only 16. he's definetly got time to grow up and i hope he does and doesn't turn into some sociopathic sex monster. To be honest, it scares me when I think some one who is 18 looks cute and I'm 27 years old! I gotta look for someone my own age. say someone in the 21 to 26 range would be good. Jay, don't ban me for saying that, I'm not pedophilic at all. I was just saying that I don't wanta think anyone 18 or younger is cute. At least not in a sexual way.

Ric, I wasn't able to recover the cell phone. I disconnected the service tho so nobody can use it and I pay for it. The job is actually okay. I'm currently looking for a job and the important call never came through so all's well. I was able to contact tehm and let them know about the cell. I'm in the process of getting another cell.

The job situation is gonna be fine, I just haven't been motivated enough to look. I was wondering, how do you go from lazy to motivated anyway?

nice sean... way to get things going!

Ric,
Listen, there's just something about seeing it for the first time on a twenty or so foot screen. It has a different feel than watching on an interlaced television screen. That's why I went to see it at a Theater first. Besides, I was bored that day and had nothing else to do...

isn't it funny how so many really good research project just disapear? I'm talking about the kind of projects that would be cheap to do if they worked, but the big wigs just make them dissapear to protect their money machines.

My buddy was telling me that all a nuclear powered sub does is heat up water. This obviously creates steam. And the Sub is propelled by steam. That's all this awesome piece of technology does, boils water to create steam... He also told me that the only actually working energy that nuclear reactors give off is harnessed by those windmill looking propellars that you see sticking out of the ground. The thing is, this method is highly inefficient. It only harnesses about 10% of the actual energy from nuclear reactors. So that's 90% that is lost and never used. Some technology! He also told me that the some 80% of the energy from those wind propellars is actually the wind itself. And we always thought we were so big for making nukes!
