  1. 1.5 GB sounds far too low. How large are the PC files when your transfer them to the HD ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> CDs hold 700MB (that's 0.7 GB) uncompressed. For ordinary garden-variety DVDs "... single-layer DVD can store 4.7 Gbyte ..." Blu-Ray has LOADS more space: ... Variations and sizes A single-layer Blu-ray disc (BD) can fit 23.3, 25, or 27 GB; this is enough for approximately four hours of high-definition video with audio. A dual-layer BD can fit 46.6, 50, or 54 GB, enough for approximately eight hours of HD video. Capacities of 100 GB and 200 GB, using four and eight layers respectively, are currently being researched; TDK has already announced a prototype four-layer 100 GB disc. [1] The BD-RE (rewritable) standard is available, along with the BD-R (recordable) and BD-ROM formats, which became available in mid-2004, as part of version 2.0 of the Blu-ray specifications. BD-ROM pre-recorded media are to be available by early 2006. In addition to 12 cm discs, an 8 cm variation for use with camcorders is planned that will have a capacity of 15 GB. [2] To ensure that the Blu-ray Disc format is easily extendable (future-proof) it also includes support for multi-layer discs, which should allow the storage capacity to be increased to 100GB
  2. Why ? This is just a sink for all the "KotOR3" graffiti, to prevent the rest of the fora being swamped in dumb ideas. There is no need for reason or reasons, just a deluge of opinion
  3. Heads UP! 1907 Winter approaches: get your units built quickly ...
  4. Ah. That explains Reveilled's stewardship ... "
  5. I write notes on top of my lecturer's notes during the lecture itself and then write them out together along with any relevant research I've done to support what I've written and what my lecturer has provided... it's long and tedious at times but it's the best way for me to remember things <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, full marks to Launchie for this answer. Write the bits that you need to understand what's being taught: what you didn't get, what you thought was the keystone, what you thought made the entire point ... there is a whole area of psychology on pedagogical effectiveness (tell students what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you just told them), how to revise, drawing mind maps and using mneumonics to help recall facts, etc. Pick up a library book on "learning", it's very interesting and should be one of the first concepts taught to all people.
  6. But where did all the Italians go? :'(
  7. It will be. Mahatma Gandhi showed the way!
  8. ... Or don't get many customers ...
  9. I remember this crap. Can't help it.
  10. No, they surgically scalpel the skull open to reveal the still alive monkey's brain, ready to eat. Of course the monkey is strapped into some heavy-duty traction, that is secured to it's head, to prevent it from moving when the monkey flays about wildly when a spoon is forced into its braincase ...
  11. *joins in dancing*
  12. I don't think I could eat live monkey brains.
  13. That's a humanist or utilitarian philosophy, not a universally accepted axiom. The Thuggee cult worshipped Kali and had decideedly different ethical views, for example.
  14. What's that, a bong?
  15. I think the questions are flawed. I am not "intuitive". That is a misnomer. I might take my own council (especially now I am older and have experienced a lot more ups and downs), but I don't "intuitively" know what is right, I still use deductive and inductive reasoning. Stupid quiz. By the way, "quiz" was a word invented by an Irish guy in the eighteenth century: he made a bet that he could introduce a new word into the language in one day, then spent the entire night writing it on every wall and prominence he could. In the morning everyone wanted to know what "quiz" meant, so it becamen synonymous with a puzzle.
  16. What why would an aethiest dive on a grenade to save a friend ? Since it's not something I'd be inclined to do, not something I can answer. But it does happen so self sacrfice is not confined only to people who believe in god. I know many aethiests who are still humanitarians. Although I wouldnt say I was one since I tend to stick all life on the same shelf. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed, latest scientific investigations have proven that bacteria are capable of self-sacrifice ... are they religious?
  17. Mappee not workee
  18. Yeah, I can type about as fast as I speak, if I speak as if I am giving a speech to a large audience (and therefore must enunciate clearly). I am also very conscious of spelling and grammar, so I am constantly revising my text and re-writing it to ensure it is concise and cogent.

  20. The games were fun to clock, that was part of it. I can still clock Wonderboy: walthrough ref
  21. Sorry guys. My bad. I just got back from the hospital again today (wasn't meant to be going today, but had an emergency dash). Really having trouble keeping the will to keep going at the moment; looks like I may have an interupted internets service soon, too. :( I am trying to get my own stuff done, and part of that is reading and agreeing on (I'm sure the fine) amendments Jags has done. Will do it asap.
  22. Um I don't understand.
  23. Yes, I particularly like the STOMP action. Lots of fun, especially with all the extra gore.
