This sounds like great newz for us film makers. At the moment I use a DPS PVR to do my editing but for full motion broadcast video I use up 6Mb/s and the dedicated Ultra Wide SCSI drives are a bit pricey. MJPEG2k (yuk!) is the great news for digital video. As usual the pir8 FUD will get in the way but it's a market where quality isn't really the defining factor. If you've seen a few VCD's recorded live in Hong Kong with ppl coughing and laughing and walking in front of the camera you'll know what I mean. .oO0Oo.
Crossing the border from France to Switzerland. I didn't want to argue with the hick border guard with a machine gun. Wasn't so bad. I did wish I could have got a wood 'cos that might have freaked him a bit. If only they'ed looked in our luggage they woulda scored a hit but as the point of the search is to judge your reaction rather than find anything I feel smug about it. .oO0Oo.
SO let me get this straight - you don't grow food so that you don't become dependent on foreign soil? Not too sure about that one. It's still to artificially control the food prices because big business owns food not Billy Bob Corn Grower and his dog.
Genetically modifying crops is only one stage further than spraying fertiliser on a crop. its purpose is to increase the yield, health, and quality of the food - something which is good for everyone. No it isn't. That's like saying it's one step further than watering the plants. Monsanto isn't doing this for the good of everyone, that's the part you miserably fail to see. We already grow enough food to feed everyone a couple of times over. Introducing pesticide into my food does not increase it's quality. Take a look at fresh food. It's grown to appeal to your eye not your digestive system. I humbly advise all of you to read up on farming and land use issues.

If we stopped feeding it to the billions of animals we slaughter every year and ate it ourselves we wouldn't need hardier crops. Farmers in Europe are paid not to grow food because it would depress the shop prices having an effect on the Eurpoean economy. It's called trhe Common Agricultural Policy but really it's a food growers cartel. Genetic variety is more of the answer than sterility and monoculture and organic food would be the best thing to pop into your tummy. Monsanto is concerned with the profit of Monsanto, nothing else. .oO0Oo.
I admin 4 *BSD machines and 2 NT Servers. The NT needs rebooting for just about any change you make to it - even changing the screen res. Make a change to the registry - reboot. It's just so poorly designed as a server. I cast my mind back to the day when I upgraded a box with Exchange server on it. Each shutdown took 15-20 minutes and boot time was about 5-10. I was installing IIS on to it with a few modules. 7 reboots - 4 dull hours. Stick with ANY *nix .oO0Oo.
I aint got a copy yet but I guess it's only for the Online version of the game you'll need a unique key. Just like half-life. This makes the protection a better marketing tool than most because ppl WILL pir8 the game and then when they're fed up with bot's they'll need a key to go online. Off down GAME with £39.99. If HL hadn't been this way I'm sure it wouldn't have been best SELLING game of the year. The system isn't perfect as a witness to my conenction to won.net disappearing a few times and the perrenial favourite "Your CD key is currently in use" - which didn't actually mean that just Authentication failed - take the key out of the registry and type it in again! Good luck to them. My Quake1 CD is "on loan". .oO0Oo.
I actually think it's dangerous and irresponsible to even consider generating deliberate genetic mutations. As biologists they should know about the dangers of disease themselves but I guess they are blinded by excitement. Forget nuclear bombs and firebombing. The biggest killer this century, and every other century, has been pandemic disease. Diseases are borne from genetic mutation. (further reading : "Plague's Progress - Arno Karlen") But what the heck. Mutation comes from everywhere. Creating organic creatures in a lab is bound to free us (and them) from lives of tyranny and oppression. I hope they make the results open source so we can all grow them!

Here in the UK we have a kind of anonymous citizenship. We can choose whatever name we like and it's valid on any form etc. so long as it is "the name by which you a known" and you can "prove" that you are known by it. Legally I could now use my email address (or any one of them) as my name if I was arrested.
hehe I appreciate sarcastic wit. Not always too clever but sometimes fun. Either way an unmissable read. Mike Magee (the editor) was nice to me when I mailed him a few times too.
Yeah my friends don't ignore it. I did and couldn't use my mouse for three months. I'm now permanently affected with aches and pains most days. The worst thing I did (and soemtimes still do) is to rest the weight of my arm on my wrist while mousing using the ball of my wrist as a kind of pivot (obviously for hours at a time). Take care of yourselves now my friends. The day you start getting pins and needles in your face is the day to take a look at the way you position yourself! ('cos it's pretty scary)
hmm forgive me already but my memory of Creative is that they pushed the sound card / CD Rom stuff into the open. All their stuff that I have had has been solid and reliable and pretty good. I've been with them since my first SB16 with CDROM and since then I've had a Spigot, SBLive and my trusty 36x CD. What's your beef with them? If it's just the OpenSource thing then grow up some.
well for dial-up the ip is selcted from a range assigned to the dial-up rack. Each time you dial up you get a different IP from the pool. In between times other people get that IP. Thus it looses it's usefullness.
+ change ISP, change IP range
+ only one site gets the info. With this system a central body gets the sites you visit - very different.
Some cable modem (sic) systems in the UK use IP hopping to prevent you from running permanent services.
flourine and flouride are very different. OT : flouride is a by product of aluminium production. It's use in water was lobbied into use . Mass medication without an opt-out could be considered somewhat suspicious esp. as flouride is a tranquiliser. In the UK it's use in water is more prevalent in poorer areas. It is also only any use for children's teeth and has a potential negative impact on the health of adults. Interested? Start here
