Have you ever seen a mostly-technical person try to design things? Obviously, if they have a clue about UI design they can at least follow web conventions for structure, but....they don't know what isn't ugly: Example: Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation
Same idea here - I'm always doing silly things like cutting food in half because I often get dozens of bite-size portions. The real value in a buffet is the variety, not the amount of food.
I had wondered about this idea in college. I thought when studying for finals it might be great to head in to a buffet place in the morning and sit through all 3 meals while studying and eating 3 meals for the price of one. I never tried it, though.
I have a couple PC's like that. Or, I did - when I last had to read a floppy it took a long time to figure out why the drive didn't work. It's hooked up now.
I wonder if their system can identify burned DVD and distinguish them from the real thing (image of dim Walmart employee happily feeding DVD-R disks with hand written labels into the system...
Well, they'd likely be different. I don't know anyone that makes encrypted copies of their DVD movies.
I have to second that. Lifehacker is full of a lot of great commenters, and I often go in to read an article just for the comments. There's not always a lot of activity on an article, but what's there tends to be thoughtful or insightful.
Well put. I think that you still get #2 and #4, though. The difference in the two pictures does affect the convergence. Your eyes try to line up the two images. They can, in fact, alter the convergence in editing to make things more exaggerated, which does cause plenty of headaches of its own. You get #4 by the camera's movement rather than head movement. Even if we could get #1, I don't think I'd want it. Focus pull is part of cinematography. If you can't force some things to be in focus and some things to be out of focus, you're losing a tool of cinematography. And to allow a natural focus depth, you have to project an unfocused field of light. I don't really want that. It increases realism, but decreases the storytelling.
I'll admit I don't get headaches when watching 3D films unless they're kids movies.
By the way, when I watched this episode it really freaked me out!!! I watched it years after it aired, but I had to do a double take and scrambled to look up when it aired.
But he could release an edit list script, that would take ripped movies and cut them in the correct order and produce the final movie output (provided there's no effects). Of course, you'd have to add the disclaimer that you should never ever rip the DVD's and actually run the script.

You can't do that if you already plead guilty to something. It's either wrongful prosecution or perjury.
And correlation != causation
The study should be taken as a pinch of study on a plate of salt.

22/7 rounds to 3.14. If you go one more digit out, it rounds wrong. How is it a better approximation? Because it's irrational?

And don't forget, here months 9-12 are named after numbers 7-10.

One would guess that pipes that old might have a high lead content.
I could answer that. Budget build. Have you seen how cheap the Phenom X4's are, even if they're not the fastest?
Must have been a while since you've been to a church. They don't sacrifice goats anymore.

Very well put, and I agree 100%.

Actually, the plot of the first episode of The Lone Gunmen (the X-Files spinoff) predicted the WTC disaster:

The main characters of the show were wild conspiracy theorists themselves, and this pilot episode aired just months before the WTC fell.
Reminds me of giving a patient HIV to cure cancer.
Most, but not all. S. pyogenes, for one, depending on how you define the common cold.
So you've seen the Blu-Ray releases of the Star Wars series, then, haven't you?
As long as you release the edit script with a big disclaimer that basically says "DON'T USE IT," you're probably fine.

Although this is actually a CG mashup of Star Wars and Titanic, it's pretty hilarious to watch.
I'm fairly certain I remember correctly that the writers are quoted as saying they would only do the first movie if they could have a trilogy.
