Morgan Freeman's production company has been trying to make Rendezvous with Rama for some time now. I'm not sure how much progress has been made though.
The plot summary on IMDB sounds more like that indicated by the teaser. The trailer must be showing just scenes either recalling the old days or after the team has gotten their steam again. Maybe both, hence the red suit/blue suit differences?
MULE was a gem that could only have been produced in the days of solo developers. EA's modern corporate machine would surely strip Bunten's masterpiece of everything that made it great.
What you're specifying is the offset of the audio track from the video track. This can be positive (play the audio stream slightly later than the video stream) or negative (play the audio slightly earlier).
Negative offsets could be used when you're doing audio postprocessing that introduces a delay, so you have to "back it up" to get the output to synchronize with video.
Plus, you may well choose to do all kinds of postprocessing on either the audio or video tracks.
A decent media player should have support for both positive and negative time offset for audio and video.
Though she is not really not a doctor, Pransky says, tongue-in-cheek, she is proactively paving the way for an emotionally healthy environment for the robots of the future.
She's not a doctor, in any field.
But her real mission is to help people to understand the issues that will arise in a world where highly skilled, competent, and sensitive robots will play an integral role.
Nor is she dealing with any real-world issues in the field of robotics or technology.
My guess is she's spending some time ramping up her PR in order to cash in on the latest summer blockbuster. I'm sure someone with her dubious credentials will be a hot item on all the daytime talk shows that week.
Just make a NOR gate and cut off the second input.:)
But of course, all you *really* need are lots of either NAND or NOR gates. I do like the dip switch idea on a single type of block though, it's easier to understand.
What the player can do, I'm guessing, is use some sort of edit list to modify the way the movie is played. The player comes with a set of standard "skip the naughty bits" edit lists. But there's no reason that you couldn't also have a "Phantom Edit" file for the Episode 1 DVD, that automatically reorders and splices together the scenes, without needing to actually decode and reencode the content.
Now, a really good edit requires things like the ability to separate the audio and video tracks from the source (so that you can play audio from one timecode over video from another timecode), but you can get a lot done even without that. And best of all, these edit lists are completely unencumbered by copyright issues, because absolutely no material from the source is ever redistributed.
First of all, thanks to the clever design of BT, 500 users on campus all downloading the same thing by it will use far less bandwidth than 500 independent downloads. Probably two orders of magnitude less.
Why would you assume this? You would only get a net savings in total download bandwidth into the university if the peers within the campus did most of their sharing amongst themselves, and there's no reason to assume that they would. All peers in a swarm are equal, so the students' downloads would still be making nearly all of their connections to the outside world.
Next you'll be suggesting that they'll drag out that tired old cliche of triggering a secret door in order to enter an underground cavern filled with treasure.

Only $5!!!

Exactly. Since when is TBL's goal for the web to maximize the corporate value of brand names?

"What? I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!"
And that's the worst grammarization I've seen all day.
Are these benevolent pusher robots or tyrannical shover robots?
Anyone else immediately think of the old "set refresh rate to zero" hack that used to be able to burn out monitors?

How apropos: I woke my wife up while reading in bed last night and giggling at his description of the spoon.
To which the archivist replies: "You have a higher quality source? Why the hell didn't you give me that in the first place?"

If that doesn't work, you must be using some newfangled "visual" editor instead. Those waste a lot of line printer paper.
What, can people not say balls now? If not, could someone please say why?
It looks to me like he was just saying that the guy has more lls, blls, bblls, or bbbbbbbbbblls than himself.

That's the only line that means anything in the whole article.
Why is this news? I can walk down to the streetcorner if I want to see whores.
Rather, they all control the cursor. On my laptop, I can simultaneously guide the pointer with the trackpoint, the touchpad, and a USB mouse.
While Windows just considers all pointing devices equivalent, these programs know how to differentiate the events.
The original can do this too. From the FAQ:

I'm curious to see how the dwarves are portrayed. The impression I'm left with from the last part of the book is that of a pack of greedy bastards.
If we ever do end up sending people to Mars, they'll never be able to escape!
