Remember the controversy of the "longbox"?

What's with the CD longbox? -- We look into the wasteful packaging of CDs (published April 20, 1990)

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, how about a clean thought: The music industry could eliminate more than 18.5 million pounds of trash each year if it only would change the way it packages compact discs. That is, roughly, the same amount of garbage created daily by a population the size of Missouri’s.

Daily Missouri Garbage Creation is apparently a unit of measurement we should all be familiar with.

Since April 1, when Canada stopped using longboxes, Americans have been the only people in the world who have to pollute for their music. The United States is unlikely to follow Canada’s lead in the near future. None of the major forces in the American retail market for music, the world’s largest, want to bear the costs of changing the way CDs are sold.

That bolded part seems a bit unfair given that as you point out the case alone has an environmental cost.

Here's an example of "good presentation" in CD packaging:

Spiral-Bound Booklet Format

Of course it's not going to fit in a whole lot of CD shelves and since it's thin cardboard you'll have to be nicer to it if you want to keep it nice.

I use a spare 22" computer monitor as my TV, on a rolling stand tucked out of the way when not in use. We roll it up really close to the couch whenever we sit down to watch a movie, which is always a plain old DVD. We have no other signal source.

The system is designed to make our media consumption choices deliberative, rather than reflexive. I have a list of 750 movies I've watched (not counting documentaries) and another 300 movies I intend to watch eventually. If a movie doesn't make my A list, we don't watch it.

You would probably be amazed at the number of people come up to me saying, "I love Vizio TVs, I have one" and it's 11 years old. I'm like, "Dude, that's not even full HD, that's 720p."

Let me tell you a story, from the book I was reading in bed last night, Creativity, Inc. (2014) by Ed Catmull, on the origins and management philosophy of the Pixar corporation. Catmull graduated with a double major in physics and computer science from U of U (at least one thing rocks about the University of Utah).

UU was one of the first four DARPA internet nodes, where Catmull rubbed shoulders with fellow graduate students Jim Clarke (Silicon Graphics, Netscape), John Warnock (Adobe), Alan Kay (Xerox PARC), and Jesus Christ (what a list). Later he was the principle driving force behind Toy Story (1995), achieved after a further twenty years of sweat, dedication, and neverending repair to his fragile reality undistortion field (after each meeting with Jobs, he had two short weeks to refurbish his shield).

The Adventures of Andre & Wally B. (the dog ate my accent aigu) was a two-minute short they planned to debut at SIGGRAPH 1985. Nobody had ever done a fully animated short before. This was going to make SIGGRAPH history.

(Personal anecdote: I attended the main exhibit hall of SG'85 one afternoon, as an unplanned accident, at the tail end of a bicycle trip down the west coast to visit a former college roommate who had made the jump to Stanford. At the dinner reception, a tray went past containing crackers with the softest, ripest Brie or Camembert I've ever eaten to this day. I grabbed one and stuffed into my pie hole without even taking a look. My head nearly exploded. I wasn't used to ripe cheese, and your sense of taste in your early twenties is at least 6 dB up. I was terrified of the stuff for the next ten years. At my present age, masticating a cubic inch of Stilton in one bite would barely replicate the intensity.)

As the deadline approached, however, we realized that we weren't going to make it. We'd worked so hard to create images that were better and clearer and, to make things really hard, we'd set the move in a forest ... But we hadn't accounted for how much computer power those images would require to render and how long that process would take. We could complete a rough version of the film in time, but portions of it would be unfinished, appearing as wire frame images ... instead of fully coloured images.

The night of our premier, we watched, mortified, as these segments appeared on the screen, but something surprising happened. Despite our worries, the majority of the people I talked to after the screening said that they hadn't even noticed that the movie had switched from full color to black and white wireframes! They were so caught up in the emotion of the story that they hadn't noticed its flaws.

Story telling is hard. Lasseters are forever in short supply, but these days, any damn fool can polish up a mass of pixels, and call it a movie.

Viggo Mortensen calls 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy a 'mess' — May 2014

Yeah, take a look at this:

That's just plain bigotry, folks.

Isn't it funny how bigotry is a wonderful and proper thing as long as it is the far left that espouses the bigotry and racism?

This is an example of why I consider that left or right is not a ruler, but a circular continuum. Starting out is the middle facing us. As people go left or right, and the further they go left or right, the eventually meet in the back with the same abount ot hatred, racism, and bigotry. They will scream and yell how they are not at all alike, but at the core, they have the same outlook, merely about different groups.

We have enough politics in everyday life without yet another tv show being a thinly veiled metaphor for America's current political system. I'm looking at you Star Trek, who's producers recently said Klingons are a metaphor for trump supporters http://ew.com/tv/2017/09/07/st...

Really?
Although, I guess it skips most of the actual nudity.
Super hero shows don't do it for me and I didn't really enjoy stranger things.
Try Ozark, Narcos, & Marco Polo.

albeit, in the Donald Trump kind of touchy feely way with women. Kirk's onscreen, campy womanizing would incite screams of outrage if filmed today. Even Bill Clinton would blush when watching that.

Nah, actually he wouldn't. He'd be telling the women they're too old, and then ask for the lolita express for some underage action.

Well, are the Klingons the modern heavy metal African-American Klingons, or the original Hispanic ones?

Neither. They writers decided to double-down on stupid, and inject some type of hybrid of political-cancer-aids-retardeness into the klingons while screeching over identity politics. I wish I was kidding, but as an avid trekie the episodes were beyond terrible and I hope that these idiots have learned something from it. But considering the other BS that they've been trying to push, it'll probably take a few more years of crashing and burning before we get out of this rut.

Ironically, that is almost exactly what the Colombian drug lords used to do to obtain the IDs of US DEA agents entering Colombia.

This is one of those cases where transparency is more important than security. Because the lack of transparency actually compromises security.

The other original article in Entertainment Weekly blurts it out thusly: "the production has been searching for a diverse female lead for months". Because "diverse" means "non-white" apparently.

Hear hear, well spoken, Bruce. Now only time will tell if they turn off the legal heat on the fans, who are doing for (practically) nothing what the studios can't do with million dollar budgets. I mean, why can't they study the 20 or so good episodes of TOS and and get inspired for a new Trek? Why is the ONLY idea they ever come up with is blow up (or, at best, decommission) the Enterprise, when the Enterprise is really the only reason we go see the show?

"These are the voyages... of bad boy Kirk, his goofy sidekick Spock, and some supporting cast with familiar names; their on-going mission, to beat up aliens, perform outrageous stunts, make awkward wise-cracks, and hop in the sack with every..."

Doesn't sound right, does it?

Been waiting a real long time, decades, for Trek to get its act together, which with Jay Jay has gone from bad to worse. I suppose Trek doesn't inspire as much respect from Mr. Abrams as the Star Wars franchise.

Yah, disney fastplay, does a great job of teaching kids about doublespeak.

Netflix is spending $6 billion next year alone on original content.

And yet they couldn't be bothered to get full global rights for some of their biggest shows like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black.

Normally the $6B gorilla gets to sit wherever he wants. The most charitable explanation for what's happened is that netflix hasn't been managing their contracts very well.

... but you'd better hurry up, the political landscape will most likely change in the next 18 months.

How so? The US will still be run by the ultra-rich, privileged upper-class aided by their well-fed lackeys, the lobbying companies. Oh, you mean the puppets office will be different? Doesn't really count.

To hazard a guess, I think he means most of us are getting fed up with the so-called social "justice" warriors who are continuously up in arms and having hissy fits over any perceived (though probably not real) slight. Yesterday provided a perfect example. Two guys on twitter made up a #boycottstarwarsvii hashtag, claiming the movie was racist against white people. Of course, SJWs went apoplectic with self-righteous indignation, and it even made CNN & The Daily Show, but it turns out it was all just a troll from the get-go. SJWs seem to go full retard every day.

Does it feel warm in here?

Already in the works, though Hulu picked up the episodes that won't be aired.

I could empty an AR-15 w/30 rounds from inside an airliner flying at 30K feet, reload, do it again, and still not depressurize the cabin to any serious extent as long as no windows were blown out. I serviced/repaired aircraft for a living.

I designed and coded the software for cabin pressurization systems used in commercial aircraft. BlueStrat is correct in all details, and if you know a little engineering you can easily convince yourself.

The cabin pressurization valve is an inflatable balloon (of sorts) sitting in an 8" diameter hole, and there are two of them. The system will easily compensate for even a large number of bullet holes in the body - 1" holes are much smaller than the area the valve system has to work with.

The pressure differential between the inside and outside can be at most 15 pounds per square inch(*). That means that a 1" hole would only present 15 lbs of force pressure on an object pressing against it, which can be easily overcome by a person. Bullet holes are much smaller than 1" diameter. Further away and the effect is negligible.

A window being shot out would not suck out a passenger. From experience, when an 8" diameter hole (the pressurization valve) is suddenly uncovered, it doesn't pull very hard on people standing near it and the pull ends almost instantly. Force isn't present for any length of time, and since F=M*A and V = A*T, you end up with very little velocity.

Sorry folks, Goldfinger doesn't get sucked across the cabin and forced through the blown-out window, and Pussy Galore doesn't have to pull the plane out of a tailspin.

(*) To reduce stress on the airframe, the cabin is depressurized as the aircraft reaches cruising altitude.This reduces the maximum differential by about 1/3.

How did that work out for Paris?

Sounds like she got $400,000 plus a percentage of profits from the porn movie.

Where are we now, in the grand vampire cycle?

Vampires go in waves, and it kind of feels like now we're finishing a vampire wave; at the point where they're everywhere. It's probably time to go back underground for another 20 or 25 years.

Theyâ(TM)ve reached the saturation point.

I think so, and it definitely sort of feels like classical vampires have been around enough that if they could go back in their coffins, the next time they come out [they could] mean something really different. That would be cool.

North Dakota anchorman channels Ron Burgundy... by dropping an f-bomb

Newly-minted news anchor A.J. Clemente must have been excited about hosting the weekend news for KFYR-TV in Bismarck, N.D. for the very first time this Sunday. Unfortunately, his anticipation manifested in just about the worst way possible. Right before he first appeared on air, Clemente — apparently unaware that his mic was on — was practicing saying “Tsegaye Kebede” out loud. The London Marathon winner‘s name proved difficult for Clemente to wrap his head around — which prompted the anchor to mutter “f—in’ sh–” to himself, rattling both his co-anchor Van Tieu and the fine, honest folk of the Peace Garden State.

Once he looked up and made eye-contact with the camera, he muttered some words about being from West Virginia that hopefully sounded better to him in his head. Somewhere the Boom Goes the Dynamite Guy is smiling.

Watch the blunder here, if you don’t mind both strong language and incredible, incredible awkwardness.

To his credit, Clemente didn’t waste much time apologizing for his mistake. Immediately afterwards, he referenced the incident on his Twitter page:

I would go further though, I would argue that firearms of any type do not have a place in society.

I don't care if the upcoming election pits Lucifer vs. Obama, I'm voting for Ron Paul. As Matt Damon famously said, "I'm terribly disappointed in Obama."

Money Quote from Mr. Damon:

"“I’ve talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level,” he told ELLE. “One of them said to me, ‘Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician.’” That was Damon just getting started. He added later, “You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better.”

Entertainment Weekly had an article about a month ago concerning this practice in syndicated episodes of television shows.

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/07/07/how-i-met-your-mother-reruns-bad-teacher-zookeeper/

From the article: If you’ve watched syndicated reruns of sitcom How I Met Your Mother lately, you might have been startled to see advertisements for very current movies such as Bad Teacher and Zookeeper in episodes that originally aired as early as 2006, long before those flicks were made. The photos here, for instance, are from the second-season episode titled “Swarley,” which originally aired Nov. 6, 2006 — more than four years before Bad Teacher hit theaters. So what exactly is going with this phenomenon? EW investigated, and here’s the scoop.

Turns out that 20th Television — the studio distributor behind Mother — has been selling promotional spots in syndicated episodes to wring even more money out of the sitcom’s already rich syndication deals. Specifically, the feat is accomplished by a partnership with a company, SeamBI, which stands for Seamless Brand Integration and is responsible for digitally altering old episodes with new products and brands.

The company’s CEO Roy Baharav calls SeamBI an “advertising technology innovator” and says that what they do — in essence, monetizing aging television shows by adding new brands and product placement into old episodes — is the future. “What we do is we insert, very efficiently, brands into content in a natural way and in a way that is valuable to advertisers,” Baharav says. “So we find the balance between not compromising the integrity of the content and, on the other end, bring a lot of value to the advertiser.”

This tidbit was posted today. It appears that its been a ratings success... for a Friday show anyway. NBC is even trying to compete with a new show that would attract a similar audience in the same time slot (Grimm).

The next logical step is a higher frame rate. 24FPS for movies is way too slow. ... Movies should be at least 48FPS, and maybe 72FPS.

bothers to read what that Netflix VP of Communications says you will realize you only have one sane course of action.
  Cancel, and let em know why.
I spent a good 5 minutes chewing on the ear of that CS rep. If everyone that was in a stir over this issue did the same I would bet they would change Mr. Steve Swasey's ' job title to Janitor where he could do less harm.

What isn't wrong with these people?

Avatar made money only because it was a first of the new technology of 3d. It has zero re-watch-ability so DVD sales will be dismal at best.

Dismal at best? Avatar-DVD-and-Blu-ray-smash-sales-records or how about 'Avatar' DVD sells big, despite paltry two dimensions or Avatar Crushes Yet Another Record: DVD and Blu-Ray Sales. Just a few random links, google revealed quite a few saying the same thing. I'm sure some people bought a copy and then regretted it, but it seems a lot people didn't seem to mind (or didn't expect to mind) the lack of 3D.

What advertiser is going to buy into this model?

The same ones who have already bought into buying ad time in streaming shows on Hulu, Comedy Central, etc.

Streaming, though, is a PITA: 5 to 10% of the time I hit some "rebuffering" nonsense, and pausing a show often breaks stupid Flash players. Also it makes me consume bandwidth while I'm watching, rather than have the shows I want updated at 4am while I'm asleep and my net connection otherwise unused. Plus, streaming versions on the website are often delayed a week. These are all strong incentives to go download a torrent -- which pays the studios nothing.

It would indeed serve the studios much better to make official versions available for immediate download, with minimal advertizing -- maybe 15 seconds at the front, 15 seconds at the end, and 15 seconds at halftime for an "hour" long (42 minutes real time) show -- dedicated to a single sponsor. (This is a little different than the plan in TFA.)

Now, whether this would have saved Caprica, I don't know, never watched it. It's interesting that a pilot for a different BSG prequel, Blood and Chrome, has been green-lighted.

Summary and Article both got it wrong. It wasn't a survey and not limited to TV or film. Writers and Editors of Entertainment Weekly came up with a list of the 100 characters with the highest impact on Pop Culture.

This is barely news, especially not for nerds; It qualifies for idle at best

That's the least of their problems. Number 2 (Harry Potter) was created for a book. Number 5 (Joker) was created for comics in the 1960s. Numbers 8 (Hannibal Lecter) and 9 (Carrie Bradshaw) were originally created for books as well. So this is really the list of the top characters appearing in television or film in the last 20 years.

Actually, everyone is quoting TFA and TFS, but if you actually go to the source, it doesn't actually use the words "created" or "TV". It's simply "The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years". They specifically refer to the "100 greatest characters in pop-culture" and state "(w)hether the fictional women, men, ogres, muppets, babies, and cartoon rockers who made our list were initially created before 1990 didn’t matter so long as they made a lasting impact in the culture after 1990."

Somehow this sounds like some producers going "okay, so we had 45 minutes of commercials in the final, but after that people will KNOW how the show is going to end." "yeah yeah .. but check this out dawg! If we just tell them we'll add some extra answers, like "why is the sky blue" or "what about the birds and the bees" ! They all definitely fall for that, and we can add even more trailers and possibly even the "lost"-ized commercials on the DVD! Think of the dough, doode!"

But even you have to admit that is completely dissimilar from the crazy RDF that seems to be infecting the FOSSies ATM. You know that the skills it takes to do what you do with tape decks isn't readily available or desired by the general population, but you do it because you can and you enjoy it same as I enjoy taking a bunch of junked parts and building a "frankenputer" out of them.

But that is NOTHING like the land of denial the FOSSies are living in, because they honestly believe because they like compiling from source or dealing with tons of CLI that you MUST like, be capable of, and willing to do the same, else you are nothing but a shill "for teh M$!" or an idiot. Running my own shop, spending time with my GF, and playing bass in a band I simply don't have enough hours in the day to jump through flaming turd hoops just to "fix" whatever was broken on the last Linux update, or to spend hours dealing with CLI bullshit, so according to them I MUST be a troll!

And the worst part is they'll scream all day that "Linux is ready for the desktop!" and the reason Windows sells is all "backroom payoffs by M$! ZOMG!" and in THE SAME BREATH talk about spending a couple of days trying to fix whatever Ubuntu shat upon with their last update (which at 6 months is total insanity) and they HONESTLY believe the skills required to do so are well within the grasp of your average desktop user.

I mean for the love of God these crazy people will actually tell you that you should inform your customers to "embrace the power of the Terminal" like the average PC user is gonna get a woody about being thrown back into an ancient relic of the 70s, complete with NO spellcheck, NO autocomplete, and where a single mistyped word can bork your system! At least you and I don't go around blaming conspiracies because the world hasn't embraced soldering your own caps or frankenboxing. And I apologize about the length, it just still blows my fucking mind how completely otherwise rational and intelligent people can just go bug fucking nuts with regards to FOSS. It is like a crazy cult religion to these people.

And for those that don't know Ronnie James Dio passed away Sunday from cancer. This old metalhead morns the passing of the magical elf and offers the gift of Heaven and Hell live in remembrance. RIP little elf.

Prime example: During the last Presidential election the McCain campaign was accused of "stealing" the song "Barracuda". Yet WEEKS of hay were made from a literal non-story because the original artist didn't like the McCain camp using it, despite them having met the legal requirements for use.

Weeks of hay? I hadn't even heard of this until now, and I was paying some attention to the 2008 campaigns.

Further, now that I look it up, it doesn't seem to be the case that anyone was saying the McCain campaign stole the song, or even used it illegally; the hay was made over the fact that the artists just didn't agree with his political views, and as such requested that he not use it. Due to our wonderful copyright system, the people who created the song no longer had any sort of control over the actual usage of the song, and as such their request was ignored by the McCain campaign.

Indeed, as far as I can tell none of those "leftist 'news' sources" said or even implied that the McCain campaign used Barracuda illegally; all they cared about was that the band that created that song did not wish for it to be used in that way.

And yet despite this, you somehow managed to completely avoid addressing the three instances of potential Republican music-stealing that the GP actually brought up.

Judging from your signature, this seems to be a consistent pathology in your thinking.

Good movies don't have to cost that. The problem is that nobody watches them, most people want to see the most expensive brain-dead CGI fest that can be made.

The Ice Storm is a very good movie. It had a budget of $18 million. Critics at Rotten Tomatoes give it 75%+. Yet it failed, because people prefer to watch overpriced shit.

People also want to see movies starring A-list celebrities, and made by/with expensive directors, producers, scripts and scores.

Take your $18 million movie and add in two stars, correspondingly high-end producer and director, a script based on a popular franchise and a world-class score, perhaps with an original song by a top pop star, and you're well over $100 million, even if you cut everything else to the bone. Add in the CGI fest and you're easily over $200M.
