Theoretically, Saskatchewan is located within the MST zone, so for most of the province clocks are one hour advanced from this. The rest of the province observes CST year round. Only the Battle River (Lloydminster) Time Option area follows MST during the winter. This Act was introduced to allow the people of Saskatchewan to have one uniform time in the summer, but allowed areas on the western side of the province to vote on whether to observe MST or CST during the winter months.ĭuring the summer months all of Saskatchewan observes CST.

![]() The moral of the story is that it’s your choice. Others prefer Windows because they find you can get more “bang for your buck” and connect more easily with other Windows users, who make up a majority of the business world. Some people prefer Macs because they produce sleek and beautiful technology that’s full of powerful, high-end hardware. The biggest differences are the user experience and how comfortable you are using the operating system, as well as some cosmetic features. As long as you know what you need, the brand of computer you buy to use Adobe Creative Cloud products doesn’t really matter anymore. Windows now produces excellent quality products that rival Mac capabilities. However, technology has come a long way since then. ![]() Macs have been consistently producing high-quality work since the Adobe software was first released in the 80s. Even when Windows was introduced as a contender, the quality wasn’t as strong for quite some time. Conclusionįor a long time, Mac was the computer of choice for designers and Adobe users because it was the only choice. Some designers even use both in their workflows. Within the Adobe programs, the interface is virtually the same, and as long as your hardware meets or exceeds the specs Adobe puts out for their programs, it’s not likely you’d be able to tell a significant difference simply because you’re using a Windows PC. For photographers or designers who need consistently top-of-the-line graphics and significant amounts of storage, it’s easier to switch graphics cards and hard drives on Windows than it is on a Mac because they’re more customizable to begin with. Some designers also find it beneficial to use Windows computers because there are more storage options. You have the ability to customize the hardware and generally have more choices to pick from with Windows products, often for less than you might pay for a Mac. On the other hand, many feel Windows is more affordable for the same quality goods. There are even some apps and features designed specifically for Apple products such as iPads. With the tight integration between Apple technology, it’s easy to move from one device to another within the Adobe Creative Cloud. You can simply install the programs and begin work. One advantage with Mac computers is that they typically use high-end hardware right out of the box, which means you don’t necessarily have to worry about knowing how to troubleshoot. Some like the user-friendly interface and are used to it, and some like the seamless integration between Apple technology. Both Have Strengthsīecause of the longstanding Mac tradition, some designers prefer to work exclusively with Apple products. ![]() Since the late 90s, Adobe has been developing the apps for Windows and Mac side-by-side. Although its programs were initially designed on and for Macs, Adobe transitioned to developing programs for both operating systems fairly early on. These days, you can build or customize a Windows computer that’s equally as or even more powerful than what comes standard in a Mac.Īdobe has also gone through different packaging for its products. The quality has become much closer between the operating systems. In the years since, technology has grown and evolved. Designers were using Mac with Adobe programs long before they were using them on Windows, and many people continued to prefer it because of the quality. It wasn’t until 1993 that it became available for Windows, and even then, the quality wasn’t as high as it was on Macs. Photoshop soon followed in 1990 as an Adobe program available exclusively for Mac. At the time, the Mac was the only computer with a good enough color display and strong enough operating system to run the new program. When Adobe Illustrator, then called Illustrator 88, was released in 1986, it was designed on and for a Mac computer. A Short History on the Windows or Mac Debate Both have their own strengths, and these days, both can run the Adobe programs well if they meet or exceed the requirements set out by Adobe. With advances in technology, what matters most when choosing a computer is that it has the right specifications and hardware, not what brand it is.īut, as with most things, there’s history in play for the Windows vs. The longstanding debate of whether to choose a Windows or Mac computer to run Adobe Creative Cloud is less important than it used to be. ![]() ![]() Do yourself a favor and play the demo before buying. With this much wrong with the game there's not much point in critiquing anything else. If only the narrator had some advice on how to improve the controls. ![]() Mickey should throw apples? Really? It's like playing a "Doom" remake and they add a voice over that says you should fire your gun and open doors. When you are listening to the voice over you will think you are playing a game for preschoolers. ![]() Both the accuracy and the timing of the jumping are off. The controls are awful and the jumping is the worst! This is unforgivable. What do you do in this game more than anything else from the beginning of the game to the end? Jumping. There was more to dislike but the biggest problem with this game by far is the one thing that had to be right for the game not to be ruined and kind of pointless. Even with my having loved the original game and really wanting to like this game, I could not. … ExpandĪre you guys all part of the development team for this game? How you could have actually played this game and given these positive reviews I Are you guys all part of the development team for this game? How you could have actually played this game and given these positive reviews I don't know. My last word is for Sega: If you really wanted a Mickey Mouse game to update, could you update Fantasia? It wasn't the best game ever (even though it looked pretty), and with today's standards (exercised in this game for example), it could truly shine. I would recommend playing the demo and having a go of it, and see what you think. No, its not the ultimate edition of a long-loved classic, but its a quality, passionate tribute. But if the game can be a mite unfair, and if it is over too fast, then its a quality ride for sure, and one that has been treated with a lot of due care and attention, and the platforming action (and challenges!!) will keep you coming back in the short-term. With all-new HD graphics and gameplay, Castle of Illusion brings Mickey and his world to life in this magical Disney adventure When the evil witch Mizrabel kidnaps Minnie, its up to Mickey to brave the dangers of the Castle. The game is far too short, and any challenge to be found is in the initially cumbersome control method, which does need tweaking. Mickey Mouse returns to star in Castle of Illusion, a fantastical re-imagining of the Sega Genesis classic. The gameplay is where the game falls-down a little. To me, it not only evoked the care and attention to detail that belongs perhaps to the DIsney universe, but more to the fact that I was reminded of the other Mickey Mouse games on Megadrive, Fantasia and World of Illusion!! The graphics are gorgeous beyond belief, almost hand drawn and animated it seems, and the music and sound effects compliment them it all melts together, and I couldn't help to be pulled-in. Perhaps, like Flashback as well of recent, these aren't remakes, but more realisations, and ultimately attempted transformations of a classic, and in a way trying to make it appeal to a modern audience? Ultimately they both fail, as the originals are still classics, and if you really want to sample them, go to the originals!! But still, I have to say that I felt spoilt with this latest update. Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Sega Game Gear, 1991) Pre-Owned Sega Game Gear Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.

I tried registering the LAV filters from under Windows XP, but it was not possible. That is what I ended up doing - I thought you meant that there was a feature in the MPC-HC player to do it in bulk.

Interestingly enough the same thing happens under Windows 7, where I can play the files in 64bit Lister with the Directshow media player. The Cyberlink stuff was preinstalled when I bought the computer in 2013. So I guess that it could be the CyberLink MPEG-4 Splitter that doesn't work in 64 bit mode.

That includes MPC-HC, which is a much better player than WMP. Hmm, if I use graphstudionext64.exe, I cannot load those files that crash TC - I get an Unknown HRESULT (0xFFFFFFFF) On all systems I have copied the files from to TC's filter64 directory and the files from to TC's filter32 folder - but I have not installed or registered them.īut it is reproducible with a clean.

In other words, the profile of the grating grooves dictates the efficiency with which light diffracts into each of the orders. How much light diffracts into each direction is determined by the principle of diffraction at a microscopic level. The PGL Technical Note “The Grating Equation” describes how to predict the different directions light propagates from a grating using optical interference. Diffraction from the groove profile determines efficiency in each order: ![]() If the surface irregularity is periodic, such as a series of grooves etched into a surface, light diffracted from many periods in certain special directions constructively interferes, yielding replicas of the incident beam propagating in those directions. When light is incident on a surface with a profile that is irregular at length scales comparable to the wavelength of the light, it is reflected and refracted at a microscopic level in many different directions as described by the laws of diffraction. ![]() ![]() Gratings are based on diffraction and interference:ĭiffraction gratings can be understood using the optical principles of diffraction and interference. ![]() The maximum length of time you can set up is 100 minutes.

The action here is quite bloody at times. However, he is more akin to one as there does not seem to be any sort of sexual tension between himself and Sawa, but more of a mentor and perhaps in some sense, father figure, to her. Jackson, his character of Karl Aker is meant to be a combination of Sawa’s two mentors in the anime adaptation. While it may seem like he lacks in screen time, Australian actor Callum McAuliffe plays a very vital role in Oburi, a young fighter who has ties to Sawa’s past and through his numerous attempts to help her, tries to convince her of what had happened those years ago. Think of her character somewhat as Hit-Girl from Kick Ass, minus the costume. The second generation actress (her mother is 70’s film star Olivia Hussey) plays Sawa as someone who not only is loyal to her job, but also possesses a sense of tortured soul as seen in very strange-like flashbacks of her parents’ death due to the fact that she has been taking a drug since the incident that is supposed to wipe her memory, yet it comes back in little vignettes. India Eisley does pretty well as Sawa, the young assassin who is the focus of the film. The tone of this version is more akin to a Luc Besson action thriller with the feel and perhaps budget of a South African action film, which makes sense considering that the film was shot in location in Johannesburg. Here, the live action adaptation takes that content down nearly all the way and focuses on the matter at hand: a young assassin’s quest for revenge while trying to take down a human trafficking ring. Having never seen the original anime directed by Yasuomi Umetsu, from what is known this live-action adaptation is quite toned down as the anime’s controversy revolved around some pretty graphic sexual content. However, as Sawa continues her mission, she receives help from another young assassin, Oburi, who not only has rescued her on numerous occasions, but may be the key in Sawa’s quest to avenge her parents. Until Sawa’s arrival, things had went smoothly. To make money, the Numbers Gang has taken it upon themselves to delve into human trafficking.

If you can get the Hiboy S2 for $399 or less, it's a great value, as it delivers more than most other scooters at that price. Its battery life is good for a scooter in this price range, but expect to charge it every few days if you plan on doing a lot of riding. The S2's 350-Watt motor proved up to the task for most situations, but like most budget scooters, I found it had trouble on hills. The one caveat is its rear latching mechanism, which was a bit finicky. I also liked the very clean design of the Hiboy S2 there aren't a lot of dangling wires and such. Not only does it make you more visible, but it's also a really cool effect. These include such things as dual brakes - both regenerative and a mechanical disk - and lights, not just in the front and back, but around the sides of the scooter, too. The Hiboy S2 has several features you don't typically find on a budget electric scooter. Read on for all of our favorite picks for the best electric scooters.
