    xbox or ps3

    The RROD is hardly a beta device issue. "On the 8th of February 2008, during the Game Developers Conference 2008, Microsoft announced that the "Failure rate has officially dropped", but without mentioning any specifics.[21] The same month, electronics warranty provider SquareTrade published an examination of 1040 Xbox 360s and said that they suffered from a failure rate of 16.4% (one in six). Of the 171 failures, 60% were due to a general hardware failure (and thus fell under the 3 year extended warranty). And of the remaining 40% which were not covered by the extended warranty, 18% were disc read errors, 13% were video card failures, 13% were hard drive freezes, 10% were power issues and 7% were disc tray malfunctions.[22][23] " As for Blu-Ray, it depends. I have seen some Blu-Ray titles that were amazing in quality, and I have seen some that were not any better then that of its DVD counter part. Ami, just because YOU bought the extended warant through best buy, doesnt mean we all did. From what I can see, the ATI and Nvidia chips are benchmarked roughly the same. Like always the ATI counterpart comes in at a similar benchmark, and costs less then its nvidia counterpart thats not going to offer you a noticeable real world performance difference. Personally I wouldnt say the PS3 has better graphics, because the chips benchmark about the same, but the PS3 seems more detailed. I think Sonys problem with the PS3 was going with the higher priced nvidia chipset, costing them more money. Going with the Cell Processor, again costing them more money. they went with Bluetooth for wireless capabilities, again jacking up the price. Sony put built in WiFi, again raising production costs, and the nail in the coffin, they used a Blu-Ray drive which further raised production parts. Microsoft used older but tried and true technology(I have seen lots of good reviews about upscaling technology like that of the 360), so I think it was more then adequate to stick with a DVD-ROM. Microsoft wins this round in terms of numbers because they were smart and kept costs down for them selves and the consumer.
  2. Were not blind...we can read the normal font just fine.
  3. ^lol. This was an old one, dont know exactly which units were dispatched but I believe 6 Engine 6, 6 Rescue 6 and/or 6 Rescue 71(both are Ambulances converted for Dive Rescue), among other possible units were dispatched to Angel Mounds Boat Ramp for a water rescue. Apertures arrived on scene, only to find Coast Guard doing water rescue training. Coast Guard never bothered to notify the department they would be doing exercises in the area.
  4. Dont think i have had that problem since patch 2.
  5. Net must have screwed up when I was replying.
  6. There was a call last night of a car going through several yards, and even knocking a screen door off a house. The usual went out, a few cops, and 1 Engine or Quint. EFD was first on scene only to find nothing at the intersection. EPD found the vehicle parked behind auto zone near by. Dispatch asked if AMR was needed in which PD said probably. Didnt catch any further details. Oh and there was a raid on a house a few nights ago. EPD set up a a parameter and atleast some of the people in the house gave up with out incident. Not sure about the rest.
  7. You dont even need a hose if memory serves me right.
  8. I meant GAME patches, not LA Mod patches.
  9. Looks much better Hoppah. Cant wait for 2.0!
  10. ^lucky we have a light dusting but its not sticking to the roads, but the ice is.

  12. Depends on what kind/how many apertures are available.
  13. Have you applied patch 3? this will fix it for the most part. I put an officer and redirect traffic till I clear it.
  14. I hope so. I used the apartment building from the deluxe map where there was a jumper, and put this in 1.9 on a deluxe copy of the map, and havent gotten any yet. Maybe i forgot to do the freeplayparams edit. Well I cant speak for others, but I will have a mirror on a dedicated server with 25mbps minimum throughput, and 100mbps max throughput. Depending on the speed your ISP gives you, I dont think it will take very long.
  15. If thats the non deluxe version make sure you have applied the game patches in the download center.
  16. Dude shut up about china already. Well since thats what they would be responding to(theres people standing out side there vehichles so it looks like a MVA) they wouldnt have to get around it, just to it
  17. Structure fire in a project housing apt building. 2 Engines, 5 quints, 1 BC, Rescue 1, and a quint about backed into a car because the quint tried to make u-turn on the boulevard, and couldnt quite make it. And a MVA where a car flipped upside down into a ditch.
  18. There calling for light snow tonight, but its 37*F so not much chance of it doing anything. I wish it would just dump a foot of snow on the ground here.
  19. Use the editor, dig up the prototype and then edit the doors.
  20. Dont forget to run the installer as an admin. That might help.
  21. Rapidshare,megaupload,etc, pm him the link. Not trying to be smart, pyro, just saying.
  22. Ahem you modified it, but it was buggy and you never fixed it
  23. Well I know here in parts of my area here in Indiana, which is pretty rural, Evansville has there own bomb squad and response vehicle. However I know there was a bomb threat not to long ago just a little north of here, and Indiana State Police responded. Both department use an E350 with a utility body on it. I know LAPD has several bomb squad trucks. My favorite is: http://starcarcentral.files.wordpress.com/...quad-oscars.jpg
  24. Kind of OT here, but looks like some places are STILL cleaning up from the ice storm last January I mentioned. More so waterways then anything else, to prevent flooding, but nearly a year later and we still have areas affected by it.
