Check the specs on the various players, but I know for sure that the Toshiba A35 and Toshiba XA2 do. The XA2 does the best up-converting in the Toshiba line because it has the Reon processing chip.

You get noise when it's very dark, but that's true of any camera. Something that I found handy when camera shopping is PBase's index of photos by camera: http://www.pbase.com/cameras/[^] Select a camera model, and browse a random selection of photos taken with that camera -- Help me!

Because most of the people are working in NYC, they don't mind spending that extra money. Even though I don't work in NYC, the place I live in NJ (close to Montvale, NJ) is really expensive(average townhouse price is above $400K).

Bit weird considering the countries lie next to each other. Thats surprising .. Did you try from amazon? Thanks, Madhu.

We do, but there's still a noticeable impact. Even if precompiled, #include files (which I've never been a fan of - I've always considered them archaic) have their price...

I recently got an iPod nano and it is one of the best made pieces of equipment I have had the pleasure of using. What strikes me is the quality and the depth of thought that has gone into its design. It does less than the zen or other players but what it does it does better than any other device. As for iTunes, I swapped to it before I got my nano and find it superior to WMP. Now that I have an iPod, iTunes has become even better as I can use the music store as intended. It is a lovely coupling. And the iPod has the style quotient. They had the zen next to it in the store and it really didn't compare. If that isn't important to you then fine but it is to me, just like Italian motor car design matters. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

Would have to agree with everyone else. I have a Semperon 3200+ and its really fast. Way, Way ahead of a Celeron and so close to a P4 at the equivelant speed its not noticable. Jon

I was playing WoW on my Win64 and I get the same framerate as under Win32. I am running Win64 on an AMD 3000+. I am doing all of my development on it now and have no problems with that. The biggest issue is the lack of some drivers for things. I cannot use my scanner (Canon LiDE 20) becaquse there are no drivers. I also had an issue trying to get my printer to work since there were no drivers. I did find a different driver that worked ok for the printer, but if I want to scan I have to reboot into Win32.

Inside C# , 2nd Edition by Tom Archer is a MUST buy IMHO . It describes all the aspects of the c# language and it goes down a lot of times to the il code to show you the proof why certain constructs or options are better or why things work that kind of way ... A very refreshing perpective , teaching the language with a lot of low level details about the il generated code that makes you truly aware of the language , 5 stars :-) And btw if you like low level detail, Compiling for the .NET , Inside IL Assembler and CIL Programming under the hood are very good if you want to learn more about il language . Programming Windows with c# by Petzold is a good book on windows forms , and Advanced Remoting is also a very good book .
