as one of the lucky ones with ultra-highspeed bandwidth (160Mbps -- thank you Tokyo) and a monster PC (and 2560x1600, so not quite there, but on the way), i was able to fire this up and stream it immediately with no frame loss -- and it STILL looks like complete and utter trash (except the violin one, which looked ok), since they compressed the sh*t out of it with a codec that was clearly not up to the job. looks like someone either upscaled a piss-poor original, or was trying to make a movie by stringing together low quality jpgs. not how i would have advertised this capability...

Here in Tokyo the idea of cooking tuna (except maybe to sear it a bit, 'aburi' style) would be severely frowned upon... ;-)

additional minus points for use of 'intrigued'. they're only a gooseberry away from sounding like jilly goolden...

Cabernet/Shiraz Ubuntu, non-vintage:: "It's intense, it's heady, it's like hot Bakewell tart. Like fairy cakes just taken out of the oven - that lovely, lovely, hauntingly sort of sweet fruity taste with a little lactic, pastry edge to it. And it's also got, of course, blackcurrant pastilles."

"...and these are NOT the hammer"

"Name me one famous sports figure from the time of Aristotle"

Plato. By all accounts he was a skilled wrestler (competed in the Isthmian games) and very strong -- Plato isn't even his true name, which was Aristocles. Apparently the wrestler he trained under (Ariston of Argos) gave it to him on account of the breadth of his chest! (Breadth = 'platutês' in ancient greek).

But, you know -- feel free to congratulate yourself on being so clever that you never have to do physical exercise like those other weak-minded fools. At least your mind is strong, though your body may be pasty and weak...

I was left bemused once after being told i spoke really good american considering i'm from another country... i'm english ;-p

i do. 64bit ubuntu 8.10, 64bit windows 7 and everything works. all the 32bit stuff on windows just keeps on rolling without giving a damn, and all the 64bit stuff breathes a huge sigh of relief and relaxes into a 6GB memory space. performance is up across the board. drivers were available for everything. (and the adobe 64bit flash plugin worked seamlessly on ubuntu) the real question is why are people NOT running 64bit systems? i don't get it...

what am i missing here -- isn't the ENTIRE POINT of wine supposed to be that apps can run on it without having to specially support it? bizarre. an emulator that needs developers to target it for it to work isn't doing its job... (sure, i know most apps DON'T have to target it, but then that renders the whole concept of this list completely redundant!)
