In many US states including IL it is illegal to record conversations without consent of both parties. AFAICT this includes both phone and in-person.
A while back I had the idea that it would be fun to do undercover exposes on scam companies, by getting employed and gathering hidden camera/audio footage. Unfortunately I think there would be legal problems here.
What about Video Toaster in the Amiga era? Weren't there animated font plugins available?
Perhaps examples from the IBM commercials or kid shows (like Sesame Street) aren't prior art, due to the animations being created for single use use in their finished videos.
4. How can I find out if my machine is vulnerable?
Any computer using Broadcom NetXtreme chips with ASF activated and configured is vulnerable. Users of such computers should apply the official patches (see 6). Other vendor cards and other cards models are not impacted by this vulnerability. Machines using Broadcom NetXtreme chips when ASF has never been configured (Requires to launch the Broadcom ASF configuration tool) are not vulnerable but patching is highly recommended.
5. How can I protect my computers from such an attack?
If your computer is vulnerable to this attack you can either (in order of preference):
1. apply the vendor patch (see 6) ;
2. deactivate ASF. This should be done using the Broadcom ASF Configuration tool and not by turning off ASF in the BIOS of the machine;
3. configure all your network packet-filters to filter UDP ports used by ASF (623 and 664).
Please note that some operating systems actually deactivate ASF at boot time. Some operating systems or hypervisors might also take advantage of hardware technologies such as Intel Vt-d and AMD I/OMMUs that would limit the impact of the attack.
I saw Avatar in 3D (twice) and I do like the new polarization method versus the old color seperation method, which always made colors weird for me. However the low FPS of movies is much more annoying with 3D. Quick moving objects in a close z-axis really strobe across the screen

You should look at T-Mobile's prepaid versus TracFone. For very light use it costs under $10 per month. Get a $100 prepaid card which gives 1 year of service and 1000 minutes @ 10 cents per minute. Actually it is <10 cents per minute because by spending $100 they give you a 15% bonus. Texting costs 5 cents to receive and 10 cents to send, not as cheap as I'd like, and now having a full keyboard I find myself texting a lot more. I have no data plan, I use free wifi only. For navigation, caching google maps didn't work as well as I'd hoped (many levels of zoom, maybe theres a better caching app) but there are navigation apps that store the whole US/Canada locally on the phone. To get a T-Mobile SIM card I bought a T-Mobile Nokia 1661 for $18 at Target, which also comes with $30 of airtime. I stuck the SIM in my newly aquired iPhone 3GS after jailbreaking and unlocking it. For those of you wondering why such a cheapskate has a 3GS.... My iPhone 3GS itself was a lucky find for the cost of an iPod, checking craigslists in small towns can pay off;)
TracFone, and their sister company Net10, have horrible customer service. If you can even get through. I couldn't, after trying several times and holding for up to 2.5 hours before giving up. A couple years ago these companies appeared to be the best deal to me. Rates are somewhat comparable with T-Mobile prepaid with pros and cons: there is a little higher monthly minimum, texting is a little cheaper (especially with Tracfone), and there are no roaming charges anywhere in the US to worry about with Net10. But you'll have to use the crappy phone that comes with the plan, even if it is a GSM phone using AT&T in your area, the SIM is somehow locked to that specific phone. They lock the USB so it can only be used for charging, you can't even upload your address book. (Guess what I was too lazy to write down before I lost my old phone?) For TracFone/net10 phones with a crappy web browser, they are locked to only work with their site, at an expensive rate. Just opening the browser costs you money...and with some of their phones having an internet hotkey you will probably find yourself opening it accidentally.
I may be interested in alternative GSM carriers in the future, especially those offering an inexpensive prepaid data plan. GSM carriers are few in the US, only AT&T, T-Mobile, and a small handful of companies who resell their services. AFAICT T-Mobile's 3G service will never work on the iPhone because it is on a different frequency, limiting iPhones to EDGE speeds with T-Mobile. I originally considered that popular T-Mobile "sidekick" unlimited data/txt plan until T-Mobile closed ports 80/443 last month (just when I got the iPhone). Creating a VPN as a workaround didn't sound like a bad idea, but read there may be complications switching back and forth to wifi, it started sounding like a PITA, and I didn't really want to spend the extra $ now for data anyways.
Next I need to apply for a Google Voice account, pay the few bucks to get a more memorable master phone #, and start using VOIP when on WIFI.
Self-encrypting hard drives would be a great thing IF they have a flexible and open firmware, with interchangable open source modules for algorithms. After a simple command to pass the key its accessed as a regular drive with no additional overhead for the computer.
With a closed proprietary approach those who need it will be too skeptical to use it, and it may just cause more trouble than it is worth.
What about 64-bit drivers, from my understanding Vista won't install them unless they have gone through Microsoft's certification process?
Seriously, how fucking stupid and paranoid do you have to be, to think that Microsoft would stop you installing software on their OS, when the primary reason Windows is so popular is because of its massive software library ?
The vender should be able to manually "delay capture" the preauthorized amount to utilize it for your purchase, or at least a manager should be able to.
Also banks will typically release a preauth if you get their fax # and have the vender send them a quick letter giving permission to (unlikely for a measely $1, but when it is a sizable amount due to error on part of the vender this may be worth persuing)
The retro-future style of GM's Aerotrain is something I always found fascinating. It was introduced in the 1950's with the hype that it would save the hurting railroad industry, but being low-cost had its downfalls: modded city busses didn't make the best passenger cars, and the locomotives were hard to maintain/repair.

The line between DTP and WP has grown blurry over the years as applications have evolved. Truth is that many people do use, and will continue to use, WP for everything. It is important functionality for a modern WP, and a valid point when comparing two WPs.
But yeah, at some point you realize you are not using the right tool for the job. Maybe give Scribus a try instead of dual-booting to use another WP...
Step 1: Accept Visa/Mastercard payments for purchased songs.
Step 2: Q. How do I receive money from songs that I sell?
Immediately after someone has purchased your music, bopaboo transfers 80% of the selling price into your bopaBank. You can use your new found money to buy more of your favorite music on bopaboo.
Step 3: Profit!
