No, he means Flash. I'm a multimedia eLearning developer. We used to do everything in director (shockwave) but moved to flash a few years ago. Flash files tend to be smaller, actionscript has really matured over the last few releases, and our animators greatly prefer vector over bitmap grahics.
Nope, at least two of my coworkers (both young females for what it's worth) have never seen even one of the Star Wars movies. Our entire dept went to see the sith movie this morning and they said they were more or less able to follow what was happening since we filled them in while waiting in line. But we did catch one of them asleep during the movie.
But what about those of us that find that a cellphone is not a necessity? I don't want people to be able to call me whereever I am. If my work offered to get me a cell phone and pick up the monthly tab, I would tell them no (they're constantly asking me why I don't have one so they can get ahold of me when something goes wrong). I just don't want one.
I don't know, my fourth great grandfather (my father's father's father's father's father's father) was named James and I named my son after him. I know quite a bit about James and his ancestors. And I assure you that there is no one around who was alive when they were alive;-)
Do you seriously not believe in legistlating morality? You don't believe that there should be laws against rape, murder, theft, fraud, abuse, etc.? Almost the entirety of criminal law is based on legislating morality, i.e., making laws about what is right and what is wrong. I guess the one upside of not legislating morality is that we would no longer have to fund prisons.
"Things can get bad, really bad really fast. I want those government programs in place so that, should catastrophe strike, my family and myself are taken care of."
Come on, don't rely on the govt to take care of you. You need to take care of yourself. At a minimum you should have a supply of money and food set aside that can last you for a year. You lose your job? So what, you have a year to find a new one.
I agree. We don't have walmarts where I live (west side of portland oregon, the two walmarts I know of are past the east edge of portland where I never go) and yet I can buy anything I need.
I'm a multimedia developer. I have great broadband at work. I have 56k at home. Frankly, I don't plan on switching to broadband any time soon. If the price was the same as dial-up then sure, I'd switch. But the extra 15-20 a month just isn't worth it for me.
The one area where 3D is actually useful is education, specifically for instructional simulations and/or models (strangely enough, the area of education is also the one area where Flash is actually useful). I break the application world up into 4 parts: instruction, recreation, information and utilities. 3D and Flash have some utility in the instruction and recreation arena but very little in the information and utility world (despite Macromedia's pushing Flash as a Web Application Tool).
is to use a combination of family, fan, whatever + cryptic. That is, Come up with a sentence such as "my 2nd Sister was Born on April 23rd" and then take the first letters/numbers of each word like this "m2SwBoA23" to create a cryptic password. This makes it easier to remember the password while also creating a mixed case and combo letter/number password. I've found that the key to remember which letters are uppercase is to make those words which are "more important". In this example I consider "Sister, Born, and April" to be of greater importance than "my, was, and on". Anyway, works for me!
Not just software development but any kind of development. There are an awful lot of people out there who are not professional developers but enjoy building little programs for themselves and friends, who scan in pictures of their newborn baby and learn enough HTML to throw up a "look at the little person" website, who create newsletters for their community/church group, who create their own home movies, who do any one of a myriad of development tasks for their own enjoyment.
For example, if you want to get involoved in WBT, CBT, CBI, WBI, CAI, WAI, etc. you'll want to know a bit about instructional psychology, cognitive science, educational technology, etc. Those are fields that you are unlikely to pick up on your own. You also wont be able to pick them up without first having a BA/BS in another field since almost all (and as far as I know, all) instructional psychology programs are graduate programs (i.e., M.S., Ph.D).

Yeah, livemotion is so awful that Adobe KILLED IT over a year ago!
This already exists. It's called Flash Paper. Just do a search for it on Macromedia's website.

Nike put more than 15 years into the development of the shox cushioning system.
Except Mozilla and it's relatives break when used on a dual monitor system.

"Use 10 of them as flying candid cameras at a wedding or a party and you I am sure you will get interesting results"
Yeah, like the planes crashing into each other and then into the guests, cake, etc.
Am I the only one who finds it interesting that November 12th is the same day book 10 in The Wheel of Time Series is being released?
