Just loved him on The Breakfast Club. His great personality is clear on talk shows.

Never mind the stupid responses here from the loser zone (TLZ).

Earl.

Thanks for your feedback in this forum. I am looking to upgrade to HD-DirecTV and need info on this. Please ignore the a-holes in here that have nothing to contribute to the topic but are just full of opinions about posters - which is waste of time for readers like me.

That's just a rediculous assertion. If the content is interesting enough, HD is not required. Similarly, HD does not make crappy content great.

YouTube is loaded with creative and fun to watch videos that look crappy. The videos of mocking our stupid president are priceless. America's Funniest Video is wildly popular and it's not because of the great video quality.

Seems like quad is the way to go. You get the benefit if 2 cores immediately and then your system only gets faster as software for 4 core gets enabled downstream. I guess I might wait for Intel's next chipset in March 07 or so.

Just 3 wheels ?
You would think for the money it would come with the 4th wheel included. Who in the right mind would buy this 1.5K Watt, obsolete in 6 month, behemoth?

This is a terrible example of pushing a rediculous design just to show 2 benchmark wins against Intel's Core2 Duo/Quad chips. Good grief. Just say Intel won this round and you'll have something much better very soon.

ViiV is a worthy objective on Intel's part to
(1) Get the PC platform onto the living room
(2) Allow the PC to play premium content.
(3) Get the TV to access content from the PC.

All this requires sophisticated set-up and standardization. Intel attempted to do that - good for them. WHile you claim it is easy, I hope you concede that you or nobody on the forum is a typical user.

Call it a failure if you like but I call it as a logical progression of PC uses. In fact, so much so that AMD is copying the idea with their hairball AMD Live effort.

Let see how this translation technology differs from the current:

English: "We need access to your country to help capture Bin Laden"

Pakistani translation: " We will bomb your country to the stone age if you do not do as we say"

My guess is this thing takes the WORST possible low light image EVER with a 2 micron pixel. I suppose it will be OK for taking pictures in broad daylight but hardly more.
This is a step back, IMHO.

Good for Microsoft. If the freeloaders have a problem with that, unload Vista and install Linux or your old pirated copy of XP.

As far as your comparison that this is action by MS as equivalent to "ransom money", I disagree.

This is creepy to say the least. Although I guess there is a service for anything. A clever feature would be to call in your sins on early sunday morning and have them already forgiven by the time you get to the little closet thingy. In will reduce the wait considerably.
