prostoalex writes "This article on ABCNews talks about two different technologies, aimed at bringing the cinemas up to the standards of this digital age. It points out some interesting information regarding the status quo such as "of the more than 35,000 movie screens operating in the United States today, only 60 are digitally equipped, largely because of the technology's $150,000 price tag"."

3 steps to DivX heaven:

• 1. Get dumbass minimum-wage job at local digital cinema.

• 2. Tap into the Firewire or whatever they use.

• 3. {insert favourite p2p network here}

Enough with new technology!
