I just hope they won't give up the space opera theme and go for some boring plot about saving Earth. Given that they said there would be tons of endings based on your decisions from 1 and 2, I'm not too worried. Still though, to have the trailer showing the Reapers hitting Earth...kind of :confused:
Speaking about new trailers, anyone watch the recent ones coming out these days? A lot of them seem to be made with real life actors, what's up with that? Not a big fan of the whole blu-ray look to them either. Maybe I'm just a traditionalist, but game trailers should show off a game engine or the studio's CGI ability, not the ability to hire actors to put on costumes and shoot them with a fancy camera.

just got some (after exchanging first pair) Sennheiser mm50 i's. Earbuds are great however the control incl. skip, fast forward answer play etc barely works. These are the second pair that suck, but i've got some cx400-iis on the way (2 boxes :confused: ) will update to see how they compare.

I agree. It might take ours to do. But it is still faster to reinstall then trying to get rid of all this adware/spyware junk.
..and I hope you guys learned your lesson...
It's not going to take any of mine to do. :D

I can understand why photographers (and stock companies) get worried by this but as a designer I tend to agree with the notjustjay and THX1139.
The best thing you can have as designer is good repeat clients. People who obviously copy / steal work don't get repeat work as it will always lack the context and thinking. We're all ideas magpies - everything we create is based on something else (try drawing an alien drawing that looks like nothing on earth for example) so trying to 'own' ideas is rather difficult. I 'culturally borrow' - you 'rip off' etc etc
Also I find huge copyright slapped across speculative submissions etc vaguely insulting, every time I view it it reminds me forcibly and loudly that you don't trust me - an obviously lores image and perhaps subtle copyright is both sensible and enough in my opinion.

Ok...new thought...
SSD for boot drive.
RAID0 for scratch disk.
Regular HDD for storage.
RAID0 vs SSD for scratch disk...I'm reading that SSD isn't all that great for scratch disks because the write speed isn't all that great and sometimes actually slower than a traditional disk, especially with small file changes. Plus, a 128GB SSd is around $250 whereas i already have a couple SATA drives I could use for RAID0.
So, are there any down sides to using RAID0 strictly as a scratch drive?
RAID0 is fine for scratch, but you're wrong about SSDs being slower than mechanical discs for writes. Especially for small file changes, SSDs beat the crap out of mechanical drives (pardon my french ;)).
However, it depends on what SSD you chose. There are indeed some SSDs that are not as fast as advertised (Sandforce controlled drives). Still faster than mechanical drives, though. Good SSDs write with up to 300MB/s, compared to mechanical discs with 145MB/s.
But yes, if you want to save money, a RAID0 from mechanical drives is fine for scratch. Just make sure it's backed up.

I've been collecting an internet video series that is not available on iTunes (the Angry Video Game Nerd -- hilarious show). I downloaded all the episodes from the official website, where they are available in Quicktime format.
I added them to my library, and they appeared as Movies. I changed the Media Kind to podcasts, and grouped them together. The only problem is that my iPhone views these as audio podcasts -- not video podcasts. Therefore, it will only play the audio and not the video. I cannot seem to change the Media Kind back to Movies, and I cannot seem to designate them as video podcasts.
Any ideas on how I can change the metadata, as its not working using the standard options?

Try a clean re-install of Lion.. remember, its a beta and it is subject to bugs. If you did not have this problem before, I would try a clean install.

There are reviews of both cameras on DPReview. The link is listed below this post. The XSi is the 400D and the T1i is the 500D. both use E-3 Type wired remote. The 40D, which the remote was designed for, uses an N3 Type wired remote (I don't know what that means). Vivitar makes a version of the remote in your link specifically for the Rebel cameras. The firmware on the 500D is user upgradable. You might want to look into that. I do know that the pin-outs on the jacks are different. Maybe the newer camera doesn't read the input the same. In which case you need a new remote.

Hi,
I don't understand selectors. I have written this simple code and put breakpoints to look how it behave and "count" should change from 1 to 4 cause breakpoint points 4 times at count++ . Why "count" doesn't change from 1 to 4? there are three 1 and one 2 instead.
Your problem has nothing to do with selectors at all. "count" is a member variable. That means every object has its own "count" member. You have four breakpoints, and each time _one_ of the several "count" members is increased, but not always the same one. If you add the "count" members of all objects, their sum will be four.

I got into web design in March this year--with a free Zoomshare site. My bikes were broken and the weather was poor, so I gave it a shot. I used NVU (http://www.nvu.com) up until July. CJB (http://www.cjb.cc) allowed me to be a little more creative on my site, and eventually I bought a domain name and upgraded hosting.
What's kept me going, even though I haven't made a dime yet (free projects), is trying to produce tidy code and learning new CSS tricks. From July-August, I learned CSS and XHTML (strict...). Next summer, I hope to learn PHP, then XML, and so on. What's frustrated me most since March is IE6. My design (http://www.deldindesign.com) site gets a little messed up in IE, so I've got some work to do still...

Well technically... there was a Santa Claus. But he's dead now. Sorry kiddies. He died hundreds of years ago. "And you can find more information at your local library".
Anyway, we can all kind-of assume that EVENTUALLY Moto will release a 7470 or whatever, since they have a 74** series going. Unless of course they go under, or Apple goes to IBM, or they rename the series, or call the next chip the 7456, or what ever.
But calling the 1.25 GHz an overclocked 1 GHz before they even start selling them, is jumping the gun a bit. That's like calling the new 2.8 GHz P4 an overclocked P3 (wait, bad example). Everyone seems to be forgetting that the FSBs are actually 4 x 100 and 4 x 133 (DDR 100 and 133 for AMD). 167 w/ DDR333 is actually pretty cool. Even if it is bastardized.
Don't get me wrong. Apple IS competing against the world of WinTel, and they aren't doing so well in speed or price. I, for one, like it just as much when people have legitimate complaints as when they have a legitimate complement. If we just accept the way things are, they'll never get better. Macs are easier to use, more stable, etc, etc... but they're not as fast. And "Apple is a business" is not a good excuse. It just proves my point. So stop saying, "if you don't like it go buy a PC".
Cuz they will. Duh.
If the new Dual 1.25s are as fast as a ~2 GHz x86, I'd be happy. Have you ever tried to edit video on a PC? Zero to Crash in 60 sec. If the iBook can do some basic stuff like typing letters and surfin' the net, and it's pretty affordable (and light, and sturdy, and has a long battery life), I'm happy. Benchmarks, shmenchmarks, it's real world performance that counts.
When I feel like Apple's acting like M$ (yeah, that's right, I said it), and a >$1000 PC can whip the *** of the $3000+ "Top-of-the-Line" Mac, I'm not happy.
And believe me, yer gonna hear about it.
Now where are the darn 7500 G5s we were promised (please note sarcasm).

Hi! I am going to purchase an iPod Touch 4th Generation in a few days, and I am adamant on protecting it as soon as I get it. I have been looking at a few cases, and have narrowed it down to my two favourites; the Switcheasy Rebel and the Speck Candyshell (both in white).
I have currently heard nothing bad about the Rebel, though I am not 100% keen on the back (but I am growing to like it more). I am also concerned about the bottom, does it become saggy like the iPhone 3G/S version did?
I have heard that the iPhone 4 version of the Candyshell develops an 'eraser' effect where the rubber 'bezel' can peel off. However, I do not know if this happens on the iPod Touch version (the white moonshine one).
If anyone has these cases I would be very grateful if you could provide some feedback as I do not want to spend �20 unless I am sure that it is what I want.
Also, if anyone has any other cases that they recommend more than these two, please can you share your thoughts on them? (Not the Otterbox cases please, I really dislike those!)
Thanks in advance! :)
EDIT: Screen protectors and other accessories do not matter to me, as I already have a Power Support matte screen protector for the 2G iPod that I shall drill a circular hole in for the camera! (hopefully that works!) ;)
From my experience, screen shields won't work. The 2G iPod touch has a slightly wider display, so as a result by using these screen shields on the 4G iPod touch, there will be some excess on the sides. You can try for yourself if you like.

I agree with Hellhammer. I think they should have 2 iPod Nanos. One with the small screen, a touch screen. And then the one with the larger screen with a scroll wheel. Why doesn't Apple ever sell the last generation iPod along with the new one? They do it with the iPhone. The 3Gs is still being sold, and it's pretty dated. The old Nano actually had MORE features than the new one.
That has to do with the carrier. If you notice, the first iPhone cost you Apple's msrp from Apple and AT&T, regardless of contract. When the 3G started being sold, the original was discontinued. AT&T began taking a cut of $200 per phone with new 2-year contracts for the 3G and when the 3GS was released, the 3G was offered at a discounted price.
