Where do you get the idea that the encryption would be based in a keyword?
The digital projector project that I have knowledge of uses a hardware decryption board in the projector with a known public key. The movie is encrypted on its way to the server, and then the server unencrypts it and reencrypts it with that projector's public key. Only that projector can decrypt it because only that projector has the correct private key. With suitably strong authentication and encryption to make sure nobody sticks a projector emulator in the path, nobody is going to hack these things during their shift at the megaplex.
The biggest technical hurdle with high resolution digital movie cameras is moving all that data from the CCD to the disks. According to one friend who is working on such a camera, they are using several independant PCI busses feeding large arrays of disks.
When you think about it, it's remarkable how much bandwidth analog film has - you can store the equivalent of 10s of megapixels in full color in 1/250th of a second and be ready to shoot the next frame as quickly as you can move the film, compared to the 4 or 5 seconds my 4 megapixel camera takes to store an image.
1. I was one of those "grain sniffers". I was at a demo of an upcoming 11,000 lumen high res projector standing a few feet away from the screen, and I couldn't see any pixellation. The brightness and sharpness was astounding. Plus this project runs Linux, decrypting the image on the fly.
2. Image quality depends a lot on the projectionists. I sat in the projection booth of a megaplex for a week a while ago and saw three different projectionists opening up in the morning, and while all of them cleaned the lens, film gates and transport mechanism on the projector, not one of them cleaned the glass at the front of the booth. You could see dirt and finger marks on the glass even before they struck the lamphouse. I asked one of the projectionists about it, and he was pretty contemptuous of the type of audience they got at that plex and the type of low brow action-heavy movies they showed there. I got the impression he wanted to be at some arts house, and maybe if he'd had more respect for the audience he would have worried more about their experience. On the other hand, I work with another projectionist who is meticulous about every aspect of the showing.
All my music CDs have been ripped to mp3s and the actual CDs are in a baggie in a drawer somewhere. I use the jewel cases that the music came in (yes, I'm one of those weirdos who actually BOUGHT music to put on my iPod) to store important data CDs, but I don't have too many of those.
I'm really looking forward to generics. I've got tons of code that casts the results from iterators or collections or maps. I've either got to test like hell and hope that I don't see any ClassCastExceptions and hope the testing was exhaustive, or I've got to do a lot of "instanceof" tests. Since 90% of the time when I use collections/maps I'm putting all of the same type in them, this just irks me.
But for that other 10% of the time, remember that all classes are children of Object, so I'm betting you can still declare List = new ArrayList();
...is it possible to do it in GnuCash or MoneyDance?
I get paid a variable amount every week depending on how many hours I work. In order to plan ahead, I have Quicken automatically enter a number that's a conservative estimate of how much is going to come in every Friday for a few weeks in advance. But when that Friday is past and I hit "Download online transactions", it can't match up the estimated entry with the real entry, even though they have the exact same name, because the amounts are different. So every time I download, I have to find all the past estimates and remove them, because if I don't I'll think I've got thousands of dollars that I don't have.
Is there a solution to this in any of these programs?
Let not ignore the fact that one of these rifles would take approximately a million times as much Po-210 as has been produced in the entire history of the earth.
Yes, it was a series of mistakes, mostly due to switching jobs, and the new one was earning twice what the old one was. Plus the company I was working at switched me from one pimp to another in the middle of it which screwed up their withholdings - I vastly overpaid social security and got a few thousand back just from that.
I used TaxACT on-line this year. That's before I noticed that my spam folder is brimming with spams promoting it, but I'm hoping those aren't connected to TaxACT themselves. Anyway, it didn't cost much (about $8 each for federal and state), and I got both of my refunds (totalling over $13,000!!!) in a matter of a couple of weeks.
Everything I've read about "Environmental Illness" suggests that it's psychosomatic. The amount of money this guy is spending on a special house and medical quackery could buy an awful lot of psychotherapy.
In the past, I've included "secret" passwords at the request of the people who'd be going to the customer sites to help out. Often times you'd find the customer wasn't around to tell you their password when you needed to quickly get in and look at or fix something. I coded a fancy algorithm where password was dynamic based on the day of the week and the month name, but our field circus guys found it too hard to remember the algorith, so I was forced to change it to "*", which I considered very dangerous.
Another time, we had a one line message window - if you sent a message with a severity of 'w','e','s' (for warning, error, and severe respectively), the message would stay for progressively longer amounts of time before the next message could wipe it out, and it would flash different colours and beep for the more severe ones. For message type 'i' (information) it would immediately be replaced by any subsequent messages. Once when it was late at night and I was getting a bit punch drunk, I made one branch of the program put out the 'i' message "How the fuck did that happen?" followed immediately by a more informative 'e' message. Nobody ever saw the 'i' message, because it was replaced so quickly. Until one day when somebody put a scroll bar on the message window so you could scroll back and see previous message. I got a call from a trade show requesting an immediate patch. Ooops. That's the closest I've ever come to putting in an "easter egg".
I think putting in secret backdoors to get access without telling your superiors is very bad news, and could quite easily get you fired.
As well as doing that (using ssh and rsync), I also tar and feather up/home and a few other important directories on a nightly basis, and copy them to my iPod.
And I gave a friend of mine an FTP account on my system so he can copy his files to my system.
One of these days I'll get off my ass and reinstall the DLT drive that I bought off eBay. I had it working for a year or two, but I had power and heat problems on my machine and took it out.
All these people saying "well, if I buy it and fly it, how are they going to know" should know that SoloTrek never flew it except in a very low hover with a tether attached, so they don't know if the flight controls even work or if it's capable of flight outside of ground effect.
They'd know you attempted to fly it by reading the obituaries.
Going to this review hung Mozilla on my TiBook three times before I switched to IE. Worked fine on IE. I hate web sites that do crap that crashes browsers.
I took a cut at modifying deMoronizer.pl to take the MS Word crap out of their generated HTML. You can find it at http://xcski.net/decrap/deCrapifier.pl_txt
I make no guarantees that it works. Or that it's very well written, it was a quick and dirty hack.

Yes, I too remember this tilting being in my text books in the late 1970s.
On my iPod.

Why mirror it? It's not like Slashdotting SCO would be a *bad* thing, would it?
What's next, putting a cat in a box to see if Schrodinger was right?
(and yeah, I probably spelt both "gedanken" and Schrodinger wrong. Sue me.)
Damn, me too. That's what I wrote as well.

It's not going to happen this year.

I tried to download Animatrix, but instead I think I got "Princess Mononoke in Space".
Nobody can be told what the Animatrix is, they must see if for themselves.
And what do we have right now?
Better corners.

The patent was granted in 1997. It was applied for some years before then.

Last year my Christmas bonus was $11,000. I paid off my credit cards and bought a TiBook.
This year, I'm a lowly contractor and if I'm lucky they'll renew my contract in January.
Last year I was working for the spawn of Satan, and had been actively looking for something, anything to get me out of that hell hole for months.
This year, I'm doing interesting work in a less stressful and less fucked-up environment.
You can keep the $11,000.
