Sorry, but you CAN copyright the likeness of a building. Filmmakers and photographers often have to get permission or pay fees to photograph many buildings. Since it's used as part of a commercial product, and not news, it would NOT be fair use.
While you might not be able to copyright a crime, the artwork is copyrighted. The crime is putting the artwork on the building, not the art itself.
Dropping the morse requirement reminds me of when AOL joined the internet and usenet. Was eliminating that form of a "cluelessness filter" end up being a good thing for the communities?
The next version of Imatch will handle non-image files. A major advantage in using a program like Imatch (or Cumulos or Portfolio) is the ability to add metadata. Imatch also has a nice "find similar image" feature.
I'm pretty sure that it's not really possible for a private citizen to charter the "Vomit Comet", but there are flights in Moscow.
A US company is expecting to offer flights RSN.

That old school computer system is *known* so that any bugs are due to human error. Since every factor involved with a rocket is *not* known, experiments must be done.
exactly what are "landmarks in computer generated special effects" really depends on your definition of "computer generated"
Motion control, where a computer controls a camera that's shooting artwork could fall under this catagory, which makes many slitscan efx count.
You should be looking at Siggraph which has a good history section, unfortunatly it's buried somewhere on that site.
If you read the first 10 years of Cinefex magazine you'll find what you're looking for.
... or one of his employes, such as the campus priest or rabbi. IANAL, I think a "confession" and request for guidance would be obligate him to protect your anonymity.
Give the priest the same disclosure information you were going to supply by other methods, along with a printout of this thread so he can understand the issues you are dealing with. Let him deal with informing the university, IT department, etc.
Chances are the pics are jpegs, so that's a lot less data to encrypt. You could also just encrypt the first 4k of the file, which would effectivly encrypt the entire file.
There's plenty of info on the net about how and why they did it with multiple cameras. Cinefex magazine , as usual, had a great article on it. There were shots where the motion was frozen, not just slowed. One of the main reasons for not using a high speed camera is inertia. How would you get a 70 pound camera to go from 0 to 100mph in a 48th of a second, whip it around an arc, then get it to stop?
I was thinking more like when the kid is lifted up in the chair for the Hora. or at the candlelighting ceremony. or when the drunken aunt starts dancing on a table. The cameras would be mounted on horizontal poles, or something, and that unit would be mounted at a reasonable height, perhaps on 2 tripods. So there wouldn't be anyone holding them. Of course the video camera would be at one end of the chain of cameras.
"not quite" is more than good enough video is 30 frames/second do frame doubling (or "twofers" if you're an oldschool stop motion animator) and you're at 15 frames per second, so 45 are enough for 3 seconds.
As for triggering them, I'm assuming that they will be duct taped onto horizontal poles or 1x2's or whatever, so rigging up a string attached to a little lever to depress the shutter button shouldn't cost too much.
so what would be a slashdotty way of wrapping this up? hmnn, maybe; In Russia, YOU circle the HORA
These sound perfect for doing a "Matrix" type effect. 45 of these could be used to make a nice 3 second sequence for less than $500. If disposable film cameras were used, registration would be a bitch. Now it's only a matter of time before it pops up in Bar Mitzvah videos.
It's a notebook, which means there's a good chance it's gonna be dropped. If it was a desktop, I'd say skip the warrenty, but since it's mobile, get the warrenty. AND make sure it's covered by your insurance on the day you bring it home. This advice is from the bitter experiance of having a $20,000 uninsured computer stolen 4 days after receiveing it.

you can always Print out the info. If you're really worried about lightning you can use a laser printer and marble
charts are vector, so the only advantage of the medium res version is nicer photographs
I just did. made me want to start a "deport Linda Ham" petition.
otherwise, not much dufferent than the Rogers report. very sad.
care to provide some examples? or your name?

Glad to see that the marketing group who came up with "New Coke" finally got another client.
the Royal Linea may be a good platform for you, since it has a built in modem, and is reasonably priced.

Very cool, thankx for the links.
very inspiring.... what about a 45degree arc, 12 camera setup, printing out to a lenticular motion card?
