Can Xbox 360 fulfil its multimedia ambitions? 5:20pm on 26 Feb 2009 I find the entire concept of using the Xbox 360 for watching movies laughable, who wants to watch a movie on a device that sounds like a vacuum cleaner? I use my PS3 for watching Blu-Ray and DVD discs, and I don't find it's fan noise intrusive, you only notice when once you power it down. I have only ever watched two DVD's on the 360, it's noise was a severe distraction and the quality of DVD playback was poor on my 58" Plasma, maybe it doesn't look so bad on 42" and smaller displays.

.. and no, I don't have a bad egg, we have two Xbox's and one them is a third time replacement. The only reason we keep it is for Halo 3, Xbox live, and that on them is hacked, i.e. it can run .....
Pakistan's dept for reconciling the irreconcilable 09:55am on 09 Dec 2008 "During the 1980s Pakistan's leaders wanted to foment trouble in neighbouring countries", oh very objective. I take it this does not include Iran or China, but refers to Indian occupied Kashmir (I know this term itself can be censored due to the Indian bias apparently built into this site) and Afghanistan.

With the Russians, strongly allied to Indians, turning up on the north western border, and the Americans (CIA worked with the ISI here) viewing this is a way to fight a proxy war against Russian, the objective wasn't quite to "foment trouble", the threat was seen by the country's population as being existential.

As for fomenting 'trouble' in Kashmir, the Pakistanis, and a good many Kashmiries (if not the vast majority) see it as struggle for freedom from India. With a death toll between 30,000 and 70,000 (yes, what a huge disparity, unlike the very precise number of victims for the recent Bombay attacks), when it comes to the Kashmiries no one cares much for number there, but a lot of attention is focused on how it is Pakistan that foments 'trouble' there.

The direct implication here is Pakistanies like to 'foment trouble' for the sake of it. "Oh Afghanistan looks peaceful, lets create some mischief for the fun of it today, I am so very bored".
