The other os thing sucks, but it was a vector to eventual compromise of the ps3. I want devlopers to continue to produce beautiful ganes on the ps3, zero piracy helps in this regard.

I think we will see more of the Marvell controller in forthcoming products. In my view a good thing to get these things fleshed out in mass market quantities.

My speculation is that we won't see much of the SF-1500 outside enterprise devices, or that limited edition run of Vertex drives. A way to package MLC and get years of enterprise life out of it. They have the SF-1200 for "Consumer" apps, but I don't think that's going to cut the mustard for...

http://www.anandtech.com/show/2899/13 One of the side effects is that it can have issues with already compressed files (might not bode well for .NEFs and JPEGs etc).

Their SF-1500 controller can do some very interesting things in terms of on the fly data compression etc, it appears to switch between different methods depending on workload. From what I understand it's expense generally will relegate it to enterprise roles but it seems to have no peer...

As long as the monitors can be driven at a true 120Hz, should be OK. The question is, to get 60Hz 3D effects in full say 1080p, you need to be delivering 120 frames at that rez. Of course with Eyefinity 6 that rez is much higher. Even a 5970 can't do that kind of performance on a single card. 3...

Dave, for your multiple monitor customer: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/runcos-windowwall-gives-you-the-100-000-view-you-always-wanted/ Of course you're paying Runco premium pricing there.

"Super Talent today announced the launch of a brand new compact digital storage product line-CFast storage cards. Just like the traditional SD card and its enhanced version, SDHC, the CFast storage card, with SATA interface, has improved, unmatched write/read performance speeds. Super Talent...

Of course the number of people who drive at 65 MPH on the Thruway are very limited. I do it myself after years of indoctrination by Australian speed cameras hidden behind every bush. 80 would prob be a more likely speed at that time of night.

In normal dry conditions a 2 second gap is prudent. However that is when following a vehicle that is properly illuminated at night. In this case, the dump box of the truck was sitting across the roadway. No lights, likely no reflective panels to even indicate something was there until it was...

Should be clearer come E3

Yup. Bonus is u could tune in some HD over the air.

Pure unfounded speculation. Though at that price point things like a 32" Sony EX400 series are potential options: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Video_Conferencing/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A3594223 Totally dependent on your PC setup of course, but a nice...

You'd have to think they would be introducing LED lit models in the 24" WUXGA form factor soon.

Greg, I don't think DOS based games are really going to be pushing your GTX295. I would recommend downloading Steam (it's a free account) and grabbing a demo of Just Cause 2 or something like that.

Yes NTFS would be almost mandatory ("Dynamic" NTFS disks being necessary if you were using Windows soft RAID). I would recommend RAID 5 (you would need a Server flavour of Windows for it). Each FC drive should present it's unique WWN.

Got the 2.1 Droid update the other day. Pinch to zoom works great. Still as fast as ever.

Not only that: - This is dual carriageway with no overhead lights. Almost invariably you are on low beams for the majority of the time due to oncoming traffic lanes to your left, usually separated by a grassy verge. - Roll-off trailer somehow became delatched, and extended upwards enough to...

The first two turn my ps3 into a brick until I cycle power. My wife doesn't like the bits missing (we've seen the extended dvds multiple times. She thought this disc was skipping and buggered too. If you had only seen the theatricals you wouldn't know what you are missing.

Well I have to say Amazon customer service came through for me again. Emailed them with my troubles (DVD/blu-rays not usually being returnable if opened), within 5 minutes got a reply back, very sorry for my experience, they've shipped another copy (overnight) and to ship my defective copy back...

No. You need to verify that the backplane presents the drives in a manner that would allow JBOD. It could indeed be that the backplanes must be connected to an EVA controller. I have no experience with HP storage so please don't take my word for granted. Double/triple check everything. If this...

Generally one would have multiple controllers for a failover situation, i.e. redundancy. It's unlikely that any one host would overwhelm a single port. Are the Hitachi drives pulled out of an existing system? IME many of these backplanes require specific drives and/or firmware to try and lock...

Let me compose an amazon review, fear me new line I will not be your bitch.

Good news is the third movie does in fact play. And it does look better. All I need is replacements formovies 1 and 2. You would think for something this high profile - prob only star wars could be bigger, they would do th best job they could

=onestly if u have the dvd extended set don't even bother with this tripe. The sound is the only redeeming quality about it.

http://www.psu.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=237969 Bloody double bugger. 1st one did look like some cable rerun, until it stopped working. Thanks for nothing new line you asses

God damn it. Pieces of crap aren,t playing in the ps3. Plus its encoded with vc1. I need a drink

Must have been before he fell into the Reality Distortion Field bubble. :D

"Turns out my ex bought one. So I do know someone who owns one. " Damnit. Now you realize we can no longer talk with each right? ;) Yeah, web without Flash is the suck. And it's not like the bloody ipad doesn't have the battery life to deliver for what Apple call poor performing code.

So for those still on the fence, it comes in a little open ended box wide enough to fit two standard blu-ray cases inside. One contains three DVDs with the digital copies. The other contains 6 blu-rays, one movie and one special effects for each movie. I'm imagining they go a little fancier...

You're cruising down the Thruway at 5AM and suddenly there's a roll off garbage skip in your way. Take option: 1) a quick passing on to the next reincarnation. 2) chopper flight...

I guess it's a built-in reason to opt for the 3G enabled version, sounds like it might be one of the few ways to get it to work.

Short sale will always complicate things. IME FHA loans require at least three years left on the roof, though the inspector can usually be flexible.

"But the deals don't stop there. Verizon apparently has cut the $40 hotspot fee for using the Palm devices as wireless hotspots down to nothing. In other words, in addition to 2 smart phones $29.99 (and a 2 phone contract) will also score you a free 5 Gb/month hotspot, something which costs up...

Time to walk away (at least from your mortgage broker/lender). All that shit should have been run through underwriting already. Had this problem ourselves. Underwriting at the prospective mortgage company kept asking for absurd crap, also kept pushing the closing date further and further back...

I'm assuming u are looking at a contract with an iphone? In which case a droid on verizon for $99 would give u google maps/navigation without the dicking around. BTW iphone 4.0 is set for announcement on Thursday so at least wait till then. Should be using the A4 processor like the ipad.

I wouldn't expect them before next year.

If your lens isn't too heavy in situations like that you can often shield the lens from direct sunlight with your left hand.

Must have had sun shining of the cockpit window or somesuch. For what looks like very bright conditions like that an ISO of 100 or so may give you better results. If you can, set the camera to bracket your exposures (it will take shots above and below your current settings).

A used one perhaps. Ended up with an 89 Corolla (FWD) that worked just fine on dirt roads. Bulletproof, and sipped gas through a straw.

7 days from Malaysia to the US, you have to think that's air freight. Must be solid demand for them.

I would hazard that your GTX295 would easily drown out even the max speed of that cooler. Frozencpu.com sells some stuff that has higher capacity.
