Just so you know... localization (translation) happens at the final edit level. As in, when the final version of the movie is cut (sometimes weeks before the cinematic release) it is remastered for all the different language versions. So the excuse that "we had to make a re-cut to dub in language X" is horseshit.
I did some contract work at a post production house a couple years ago. Maybe it's different now, but I doubt it.
Which is why my EVO is rooted with a free tethering app, for the times when I don't feel like paying my cable bill and still want to watch netflix on my laptop. 30 bucks extra a month for "Sprint tethering"? F**k that.
Had to root my phone to install the tethering app-- took about as long as it would take to drink two glasses of bourbon. Easy peasy.

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with the Noid that's on the Moon!)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and the Noid is on the Moon!)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but the Noid is on the Moon!)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while the Noid is on the Moon!)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause the Noid is on the Moon!)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but the Noid is on the Moon!)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause the Noid is on the Moon!?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with the Noid that's on the Moon!)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with the Noid that's on the Moon!)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but the Noid is on the Moon!)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for the Noid that's on the Moon!n?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of the Noid that's on the Moon!)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,

It's not Actionscript that's buggy, genius-- it's the set of actionscript developers that can't write stable code. Guns don't kill people, it's car analogies being driven by guns that kill.... ah, forget it.
Mod parent up, please. I'm getting sick of the flurry of "you made something with your own two hands? color me unimpressed" type comments on Slashdot anytime there's a story about kinect hacking or other Maker type stuff. I got into this field because I liked to break/take apart/repurpose stuff as a kid, and these experiments satisfy that urge today. Not everyone comes to this site to bitch about video drivers or start OS platform flame wars./end rant.
In response to AdmiralXyz's comment, I'm not really seeing so much work being done with the SDK that's not video game related-- openNI has been around for a while, and it's cross platform-- even runs on Linux I believe. The "weird kinect experiments" community seems to have embraced openNI as well as openKinect (a wrapper for Processing/Java), a trend that I would like to see continue.
But seriously, viruses want to live too, right? Even though they're old, and no one wants them anymore... don't viruses deserve a chance to dance, and sing, and try to stay in the gene(?) pool just as long as they can? Haters gotta hate I guess.
I used to buy Froot Rings by the bushel at an aldi over on Sheridan somewhere in Chicago. Never thought they'd stoop so low as to sell viruses.
Mod AC up please. There's all kinds of fun/interesting/theoretical projects that can come from this, and security will only be an issue for those who are security impaired regardless.
The rest of us can see this as a place where bits and bytes can go to die... and live on! With a thirst for BRAAAAAAIIIIINNNNSSSSSS.....
It was great-- the idea that I could share every bit of obscure music that I had with anyone that was interested... and vice versa. I remember days where I would only listen to music that came up when I'd type "drunk" or "rickety" or something into the search bar. Good times. It never occurred to me at the time ('99 maybe?) that it would be a security risk;)
Well, I see I'm a little late to the party that ShooterNeo (ugh) is throwing here... and I think someone has always pointed out the idiocy of the idea of the US being made of "good genes" that will get diluted if we let "brown people" in (after all, the US as we think of it today is a result of years of immigration/contribbutions by those very same brown/yellow/whatevs people)... and anyone who has studied the history of the IQ test knows that it is a culturally biased clusterf*ck... so I guess the real question is:
What kinda combo mod does this merit?
-1 Flameracist?
-1 Racistbait?
Mod +1 insightful. I know it was intended to be funny, but that's exactly the problem with these types of interfaces. I can see it now:
"To hover, hold your hand out flat without moving". Half an hour into a surveillance operation, the copter crashes onto the top of the suspect's head when some cop's arm gets tired.
What's the matter with standard PS2 or XBOX game controller? Intuitive, cheap, and the UI bugs have been worked out years ago.

Good point... but I was thinking more about the typical hollywood film, however, which is what the parent post is concerned with.

I saw what you did there. You've been selected for early retirement.
I used a fax machine today. I haven't used a serial port on a machine I've owned in more than 10 years.
+1 awesome
Simian Mobile Disco remix.
Not to everyone's taste, I admit, but they do a good live show.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not listen to the parent post. Edremy is a quack, in the pocket of the Jo'Bu industry.
Consider this: what about subluxions? Where's Dr. Bob when you need him?
Think of the children.
I would like to take that cancer-and-subluxation-reducing pillow and put it over your face and smother you with it, Bob.
Well, I live in a major metropolitan area. My day rate is $500 USD.
But I don't work every day.... so yeah, dropping 400 bucks randomly on some iDevice is something I think twice about.
Yikes, I just wikipedia'd HF...
That stuff looks mean, man.

Resistance is futile.

I used to do that with Napster back in the day.

You, sir, are causing an imbalance in my humours. Bile, to be precise.

Is there a combo mod for dumbass AND troll? Trollass? Dumbtroll?
I don't think-- I KNOW.
Nature is already killing us all. We are built to die.
It's only natural.
