No, this is a bold statement. I have to agree though, download speeds are still < 1Mb/s in a lot of places, and even with "8Mb/s" lines a lot of people don't actually achieve these speeds. In the next few years I can't see 25GB (or even 5GB) being a useful download size, its still very much a...

Ok, I managed to get a composite cable and it runs mostly ok, if I enable overscanning (+128) it runs fine, but overscans. Disabling the overscan (mode 3) it displays the far right hand 5% of the screen or so on the far left hand side of the display as though the screen wraps around. Any thoughts?

I installed YDL on my UK PS3, the install seemed to go ok however over the HDMI cable (no composite to test) the projector only displays a window of ~640x480 however the desktop is correctly sized at 1280x720. The initial setup stuff runs at full size however when I hit the boot loader (ydl...

I bit the bullet yesterday and picked one up, opted for the hdmi cable and Resistance / Genji as my first games. Unwrapping it felt great, the PS3 looks good, feels good and feels like an expensive piece of kit... was tempted to leave it but set it up, XMB was as the PSP, nothing really...

conversion rate is currently about 1.9USD to 1GBP, so £6 ~ $11.40

rather than make another thread, is there a way to make firefox 2 like firefox when searching: old firefox: typing: google some string here -> goes to www.google.com searching for some string here firefox 2 typing: google some string -> goes to google searching for google some string here

The fact that you posted the idea out in a common area of a forum makes your idea basically unpatentable... if you release it to the public you can't get money for them using it :D, sorry.

Sound Card, part of the point is that a graphics card generally does just that, it makes things shiny and pretty. While that may make many people salivate it is a very small field, there is the potential to move into the GPGPU field however we don't get a lot of information on that either, and...

It does make sense, avi is just a wrapper around other formats (thus why you can have an avi file that won't play on your machine even though you can play others). Compressing a master makes sense, you take it to the lowest bit rate that is still lossless, mpeg 2 can do compression of a file...

From what I can see this is a "What we offer and how much it would cost for the competitor to equal our offering" sheet. Thus required is a valid word since to achieve the same as a PS3 you need to add those things onto the XBox... if it was "to play game" then its wrong however if its to...

I dunno democoder, I would place myself as a fairly noobish and OTS coder (still at uni, 2.5 years (well summers really) experience in c++) however Threading and multicore programs make sense to a lot of people, in some ways its very unnatural to think of doing one "thing" at a time that a...

Remember that the X360 threads are not true hardware threads (not fully capable of independent actions), its more like 3 main threads and 3 lightweight threads (iirc the PPE in Cell is more similar to two hardware threads), so a speed up of 2.6 is actually pretty good for a first generation game...

From Sony's perspective bundling a game is not a great loss, they have to pay whatever the manufacturer wants for it however there will be no retail markup and their own profit can be ~ 0 so for the customer it can seem like a $£60 discount yet be much less to the manufacturer... a good deal...
