I'm a gamer with a wife and two kids. My wife doesn't game at all. I didn't need to be asked to put the PC elsewhere because I also don't want a loud ass, ugly machine ruining the living room either. So I put together a machine that looked like a piece of A/V equipment, there are lots of great cases now that are unobtrusive, and I purchased components that made low noise the priority. It pulls double duty as a media center and I made sure the cabling ran all within the walls, with as few wires as possible and bound them nicely so as not to attract dust bunnies.
For example this.
And wiring like this.
I'm not sure what there is about being a man that means I have to be gross and loud. It's not like I don't appreciate a clean, aesthetically pleasing place to live as well. Ultimately I ended up moving the machine to another room running the cables through the floor to the basement because I didn't want to see anything at all. That was my choice.
Seriously - bring a package of cookies for the flight crew.
This. My cousin is a flight attendant and said to me if you want to make fast friends just hook your flight attendant up with a little package of M&Ms or something simple like that. It isn't bribery, it's just a kindness, the same I do for my mailman and garbage collector from time to time. The world would be a much better place if we could all just be human to one another once in a while.
And what would happen if Apple did decide to go double clock speed and quad core...?
My guess is it would catch fire if the battery lasted longer than 10 min, and this from a stalwart iOS user.
You must be new here, don't be so god damned sensible. My favorite part is how we generalize what is good enough for everyone. I have a 64GB iPhone and I don't need the space, I just don't want to think about it. I shoot a lot of video and while I have a $4000 camera I often shoot B roll on my phone because I want to. And since no one bought my phone for me I'm confused why anyone would care what I do with it.
Take heed everyone and be thankful we are blessed to be a in a place and time where not only do these things exist but that many of us on this forum can afford them. It is an embarrassment of riches.
I think the idea is they will be exclusive to the xbox marketplace/video service thing they have. One of the programs is the documentary on unearthing the Atari E.T. cartridges.
"The first round of Xbox Originals will contain a healthy variety of shows, from the futuristic teen drama about robots "Humans," to the steampunk Western "Deadlands" (based on the tabletop role-playing game of the same name), to the street soccer documentary "Every Street United." Other programs included "Winterworld," "Gun Machine," "Extraordinary Believers" and "Food Show."
The process of dubbing in audio, which we know happens frequently, is the problem. It's always a lie.
Audio/Video editor speaking here. Lies, I believe, have to be conscious. Tweaks often happen in post production because there is an issue with the original footage such that the original audio track has to be recreated. This is frequently done in film and is called "looping." On set you record pre and post roll audio to capture the room noise just so you can match this looped audio with the original environment. This is just one example.
I can easily see the editor in his booth working with the assets he was given thinking that the audio from live shot lacked engine noise for whatever reason. Unfamiliar with the Tesla, he didn't realize an electric only makes road noise. Just ask yourself this, what is the advantage of adding engine noise? I know the editor thought it would make the footage more dynamic and LIKELY thought there was a problem with the sound track. There is no great conspiracy here.
Well not the electron itself but as of last year we do have a picture of the orbit.
Sorry for being a pedant.
Troll seems a little harsh for this comment. I am a die hard Amazon Prime user but you will find that the identical item that ships without prime is often $3-4 cheaper before shipping and about the same with. The difference though is that Prime is 2 day and the alternative is UPS ground or worse. So no, it isn't free, it is premium shipping discounted but that hardly reads as well on the advert. It also doesn't scale with size. All Prime items ship at a flat rate where UPS ground has variables like weight, size and distance.
The discover card comment is a bit troll-ish but it is probably the least used of the 4 big names out there. However, because I am a cheapskate I know that people on deal websites love discover for the 5% cash back which I think is the best in the industry. Also Costco used to only accept Discover (now AMEX). I'm no shill, i don't even have a discover card.
