    The Great Global Warming Swindle

    No it is not. It just says that human activity is indeed a significant factor, not that it is the only factor.

    creative meets competition with razor sound

    EAX1+2 yes, anything above no. And I would take SoundStorm over anything Creative has produced so far.

    Could there be another reason for global warming.....

    So the sentence "Carbon dioxide is a major player in global warming." from the article means what according to you?:confused:

    Kerry makes really bad joke about White House and no one understands what he meant

    How the hell did you get from the figure of speech "killing two birds with one stone" to: When you substitute the figure of speech and the derived figure of speech, there is no mention of killing left what so ever. For example, you could use the substitution [killing two birds with one...

    And in Denmark once more...a new set of cartoons appear

    Actually the publishing was done for the exact opposite reason, by someone who infiltrated the youth organisation of the party to expose this sort of racist behaviour. Now whether or not they actually needed to publish the video to make that point can certainly be questioned.

    SOME PEOPLE ARE INSANE!!!

    Are you in the US? You are offended, as you have the right to be, but you are also respecting the laws of the country that guarantee the right to freedom of speech. Those in Europe and elsewhere who are rioting, torching cars and embassies, killing people, and calling for "another 9/11" are...

    Danish Government asks/tells their citiznes to leave Indonesia / FEAR MURDERERS WHO HIDE BEHIND RELIGION

    "(Denmark) said they received threats through the telephone, but we have no way to confirm that. We have heard of such things before and usually they are only rhetoric," he said. So they come to him reporting a threat and instead of taking it seriously he calls them liars. And now he is...

    Papers across Europe reprinting those carricatures of Mohammed

    AFAIK the SMSs going around said noon February 1st in front of City Hall in Copenhagen. No one actually showed up for that, and I can't find anything about new plans for tomorrow.

    Papers across Europe reprinting those carricatures of Mohammed

    All approved churches in Denmark are exempt from various taxes, including property tax, as well. What they don't have, is the equivalent of the "IRS" handling the administrative burden of collecting member-taxes. Now I'm not in the mood for translating the list from danish to english, but I'm...

    Papers across Europe reprinting those carricatures of Mohammed

    My point exactly. The first part stating members pay is correct, the second part of the wiki entrance, which contradicts the first part is not. If you are not a member you do not pay, that is how it is.

    Papers across Europe reprinting those carricatures of Mohammed

    That is 100% incorrect. Only members of the church pay.

    Retailers: DVD Format War 'Stupid,' Harmful

    Sure, except Blu-ray can make hybrid discs too, and better ones. HD-DVD layers and DVD layers are located at the same place on the disc, so you have to do flip discs if you want eg. dual layer DVD and dual layer HD-DVD. BD hybrid discs on the other hand can be made with dual DVD layers and...

    Benchmarks? AMD x2 3800+ vs P4 3.2Ghz 640

    Yes you are. Faster indicates that the slower cpus performance is used as base: (3.54-2.14)/2.14 = 65.4% what you have calculated is how much slower the P4 is, which naturally uses the X2s performance as base: (3.54-2.14)/3.54 = 39,5% DOH contributed even more to the confusion by...

    Are Intel CPU with Intel chipsets more stable?

    Well, I guess the Sun Fire X2100 Sun Fire X2100 isn't exactly the top of the line for Sun, but it is still a nice feather in the cap for nForce4 (note that it is nForce4 Ultra not Professional, but I guess that only makes it more relevant for someone looking to buy a desktop board)

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    Until the addition of 30GB R discs to the HD-DVD spec, there was only 15GB HD-DVD R and 20GB HD-DVD RW. 50GB BD-R and BD-RE, would therefore have an exactly 150% larger capacity than the max 20GB of the HD-DVD RW. Considering that addition to the HD-DVD spec was first mentioned only the week...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    Of course they are meaningless to you. I think we have adequately established that you don't believe anything coming from BDA, while you take everything coming from HD DVD as gospel. Someone else might be interested in both sides of the story though.

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    The only players out at the moment are those in Japan, which are not the same as those schedueled for worldwide launch in 2006. Those players and the cartridged media for them can be found here and here. Now I can't see any other models than the ones for the Japanese market, which makes...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    So far I have backed up my claims with links, granted you think they are all fake, but at least others can read them and decide for themselves. You on the other hand have not given me any links to back up your claims, nor any reason at all why I should just take everything Microsoft has to say...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    HD-DVD uses a blue laser just like Blu-Ray. link Plenty of DVD players are already dual laser in order for them to read eg. CD-R discs. Philips/Nero demonstrated Philips triple writer drive at IFA (CD/DVD/BD), which uses this triple laser pickup: Here is triple laser diode driver...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    Like I said, the only thing that is going to answer it adequately in your mind is obviously if you go to a show and see it for yourself, so no, your damn right I'm not going to pay for a trip for you to Seatec in Japan :roll: You claim we shouldn't trust what all the companies in BDA are...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    Because they are backing the competitor and the HD-DVD group has been spreading BS about Blu-Ray before maybe? But hey, if you don't believe the pictures or the people who have been to the shows then maybe you should go yourself. This years Ceatec is right around the cornor so by all means go or...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    He is right, JVC already have a working BD-25/DVD-9 hybrid disc and are working on a BD-50/DVD-9 version. The difference between this and the HD-DVD-30/DVD-9 discs are that the BD discs are single sided, where HD-DVD has to use both sides since the layers are at the same location and their...

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    Yeah right. Forgot to put on the tinfoil hat. It's all a big conspiracy by JVC, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung and TDK, all making all those mockups. I mean the competitors PR guys say so, it must be true. :roll:

    Blue-Ray VS HD-DVD The Untold Story.

    What are these then? There are both 50 GB BD-R and BD-RE discs in those pictures, some of which are nearly a year old. You will also find a sample TDK 100GB BD-R disc from this months IFA show in Berlin.

    Poll: Will you buy a Mac PC?

    Lol, how pathetic. He did not say anything about building a mac himself, you chose to misinterpret his post that way, which is rather silly per my first post, that you have still not addressed.

    Poll: Will you buy a Mac PC?

    No, this is a poll asking "Will you buy a MAC PC?". One of the options is to answer no, which he did, and he then expanded on why he answered no, namely that he still prefers the DIY option because of price and upgrade options. All very much in context.

    Poll: Will you buy a Mac PC?

    Or one could conclude that one refers to PC only and not PC MAC 1. Because that is the only thing that makes sense. You even state so yourself. 2. Because the second post explicitly says PC and not PC MAC Now can we let this go or do you have any more smug comments about the reading...
