My ex-girlfriend is a graphic designer for the advertising industry. Without pantone color support she probably wouldn't be able to do her work at all.
Having anti-establishment sentiment is not a crime in itself.
What if information was posted that was inappropriate and/or illegal? Let's say for instance people were posting on one of his phpBBs, trying to incite people to murder certain government officials and plotting their daily routes?
This fool (not you Alan, I mean the AC) equates religion with morality.
When anyone does that I refer to my father's (RIP) nightmarish upbringing.
His mother died when he was only as few years old. His father was a devout Catholic who would go to church every night and leave his baby boy at home alone in a creepy 100-year old house. He was terrified every night of his life and would spend the entire time walking around the house checking behind doors etc.
I'm sure he thought he was doing a good thing being so "religious".
Why can't all the fundies understand that it's not the ceremony that's important. Fuck, Jesus preached that.
It's about being a good person. Acknowledging god within yourself and all in the universe.
Nothing is going to stop people bitching and BK has some restrcitions in it's licence that some people with a personal stake in Linux are uncomfortable with (to say the least).
Me? I don't really care. The relentless flamewars are tiresome though.
Argh. Yes I should have RTFA and not posted somehting so inflammatory.
I actually meant it in the nicest possible way;)
I like reading LKML and I like Larry and appreciate his gift but he seems to get sucked into the relentless BK flamewars and catalyse them sometimes which I think is unfortunate. He'd do himself a great service avoiding getting too involved imnsho.
I guess I didn't help just then. Ahh well. Sorry Larry et al.
It looks like it's licensed under the NWL (No Whining License) that will force you to 'not whine about this product or any other products from BitMover, Inc.'"
Let the whining begin! Far out, even the licence itself gives us something to whine about.
Larry seems like a reasonably smart guy but I think we could all do without his trollish antics.
This is because the ACCC ruled (as it did in the modchip case) that region coded DVD players created trade barriers.
Yes indeed. Ain't the ACCC grand?:)
The difference is, there are companies willing to make region-free DVD players, but Sony isn't willing to do similar with it's PS2 (which has no competition from other companies).
I don't have a problem with that but how does it follow that they may also change the law to suit this strategy? I guess they're just having a punt as usual.
I hadn't seen that - does it keep settings etc, or is it just a scripted delete the system partition and replace it?
It may mostly just upgrade relevant packages, remove obsolete ones and installs new packages. I haven't looked at the code however and I'm sure it does more than that. It seems to try to do the right thing i.e. retain current settings. It usually doesn't get everything right however (it's damn hard to when you think about it) and things break. Years ago it often broke things badly, these days I've found it to be OK.
They won't be after dudes who get their boxes chipped.
They simply want an easily enforceable way of cracking down on people who perform PS2 modding as a service, such as the dudes who advertise in the Computer Trader or at swap meets.
They hatesssess them:)
I must admit the current corporate message in Australia re: copying seems a bit confused. On one hand we have Sony whinging about modchips, on the other we have hundreds of new region-free multi-dvd/video push-button-to-copy devices appearing each month.
Copying copyrighted material is illegal. We get it... sheesh...
That is the more appropriate and well-recognised example, as the CG characters are in an environment where they have to interact with real life characters and scenery.
Finding Nemo et al, while being awesomely realistic and cool, allow one to suspend disbelief a little easier as the format is more similar to a cartoon than a real-life movie. Nemo probably wouldn't look as realistic next to a real-life person.
I think Jackson did the right thing using miniatures, because it helped the CGI people get the "feel" right. It let them see the light and shadows falling across a real object.
It will be a combination of factors that helped PJ's production be so successful visually. Some factors may include:
- Talented artists. - Modelling (as you mention). - Realistic and appropriate integration of the objects with the environment. - A critical eye that recognises unrealistic scenes and decides that the scenes should be reworked or scrapped. - Hard work and a great deal of motivation.
One apparent truism is that a great production requires a lot of painstaking work. The shortcuts really show.
Anyone ditching Linux in favor of FreeBSD simply wasn't paying too much attention to what SCO was actually saying on the matter. This kind of mentality is no basis for bragging.
Without a doubt BSD would have been the next target. They *may* have enev considered hitting Microsoft if they got enough steam. At one stage Darl blathered some crap about owning C++ too.
This wasn't just an attack on Linux, it was the ultimate corporate IT manefestation of 4ll jor b4Z3!
Everyone heard the tube pop, and the crash of glass, but one of the employees just tossed it back as if nothing had happened. As we were walking away, we heard another one drop and the sound of smashing glass. Un-fucking-believable.
Oh stop your bloody whinging: you still get all the bits;)

Why does he have to comply? rm -rf / the server and do your time pal. What a friggin pussy.
I hate to say this but you're probably better off getting advice from your attorney, which is apparently what he's doing.
On a similarly-practical note, this guy has a wife and infant daughter. I'm sure he'd prefer to keep looking after them if possible.

The RIAA don't need us to demonize them, they do a great job themselves.

Oh we "get it" alright: us wanker audiophiles/ sound engineers understand that *you* don't know the difference.
Problem is, we do.

I'm writing a virus.
It will randomly generate mortgage/penis enlargement/teen sluts/housewives/OEM Software spam.
It will have a "Click here to respond" link.
If you click the link, it wipes your hard drive and somehow sets your computer on fire. I need to work out how to kill the CPU fan or something...
These people who are responding to spam need to have their computers confiscated, for great justice.
That is all.

Not to put down Big Al, but he only had a small armful of memorable discoveries spread over the decades of his career.
