Still looking for execuses I see. I'm not gonna check up on this but FAIR USE should not allow you to use the entire length of the original clip. And you must be really stupid if you think that "adding subtitles & re-encoding" means he made those frames. The source is still copyrighted and he had no permission to use it!
He didn't make those video frames. They belong to the copyright holders and to use them, you need permission. This case is ripe for DMCA! I don't see why we are even discussing it on Slashdot!?
So this guy uploads full length parodies (3min+), isn't there a limit on such things like 30 seconds, otherwise it's no longer fair use?
The most common DMCA problem on Youtube is for people who upload their original video/creation but used copyrighted soundtrack. When found, those videos get taken down. BadLipReading is just doing the opposite: stole copyrighted video frames but is using his own original soundtrack. This is still wrong and I think he is a Youtube partner (adverts next to the video), i.e. making money from this.
But if they did, wouldn't that choke the one area in the US where 80% of all trades are executed? It would also get pretty ugly because that would require blockading buildings and kicking the traders/gamblers/bankers away...
I did a degree at sh*tty uni because I was too poor for the others. Result, I graduated without of a good grasp of my field. I can summarise that uni as me having lots of disagreement with the teachers, the material they taught and their illogical teaching. I even tried to get our head of department to give us more tutorials, more relevant labs and mock exams because frankly, i felt we were in some donkey's farm. After graduation (which i didn't attend), I went to one of those top universities and life was really good there. My brainwave was 100% compatible with the teachers and their material. Even the tutorials made sense and exams questions were logical leaps (except for the trick questions). I was so happy and I felt I was learning something of value that I could cherish for later. Now I regularly criticise my old uni (as I'm doing here) and if I had any advice for prospective students, it'd be "Save up for the good uni. The others will just ruin you!"
You don't go to uni to end up in supermarket shelf stacking or working as a postman, do u? What the university craze has really meant is that tens or hundreds of thousands of students were getting ready for a world that didn't exist! Compete with those who've just been laid off we are told and take that call-centre job in the meantime. lYeah, let those mediocre jobs turn you into a blunt tool: gradually lose that critical thinking u got from uni education.
This is just ridiculous and frankly u should put some more thought into this problem before typing something insensitive. I have friends (with MSc degree) who have been unemployed since Oct 2008.
According to this map, they are scattered everywhere. I wonder how much more effective it'd be if the 99% really dropped in on Wall Street and got their money back?
Maybe i have my own other reasons to dislike Australia... lets leave it at that. Also that guy criticised our beautiful grey and cold weather. Am sorry but this is the best time to dress in tights, high boots etc,,, I hate sweaty warm places.
Your examples of flawed British legal system aren't solid:
- Gary McKinnon did hack into NASA, FBI and other US servers for what he claims "to find evidendence of alien cover-up." Then he gets assburgers syndrome, so he can avoid getting judged for hacking crimes? Please! I know there are different levels of hacking but in the end, hacking is hacking.
- Julian Assange has an unresolved criminal case with Sweden, that's the only reason he's being sent there. Who is Britain to tell the Swedes: "No! You guys are liars and only re-opening this case to extradite Assange to the US!" The UK will need some serious proof before making such accusation.
- I haven't kept up with Ryan Cleary case. But from a quick online search, it would seem that Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) has evidence on his Lulzsec involvment and we all know Lulzsec attacked major US corporations (not that am in disagreement with what LulzSec did). So if this Ryan guy is really guilty, then he has to answer for his crimes. Just like I would if I participated and got caught.
All the above don't compare to a techy highlighting security flaws and getting slapped in the face with a legal letter.
I like my Winter-wear, so much more elegant than your Hawaiian-style clothes and flip-flops... but i digress. Wouldn't u agree that only thickos would punish a guy who's trying to help them? Must be a quite thick govt to enact such a stupid law, and even more thick population to put such govt in power.
It's not the same. That Microsoft demo requires "Inertial Measurement Sensors" and is most likely case-specific (as in removing blur due to motion in some direction). The Adobe demo seems to be general (deals with more cases). Am interested in this blur kernel. Is this an Adobe led research or the work of some PhD student, who later joined Adobe?
How did they get a trademark in the first place? Isn't prior art such as this (made popular by encyclopedias the world over) in the way? So if I make a website to timeline the evolution of something or allow others to do so on my site, then I'll be in trouble? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.
I agree. Security in CompSci has to be a bit more than putting up safeguards (fw, av, encryption) or going from one DES to triple DES just to make brute force attack more difficult. Surely the only solution is to develop a language or maths for it. This way we can reason about security problems and be able to say for sure: this is provably secure just like 1+1=2. After the logic comes the implementation details.
They say rise in comodity prices is why inflation is so high... they don't know how hard geeks are being hit, esp. those living on a steady diet of coke, pizza and crisps. Pringles (165g) cost $3.12 in the UK (or $1.50 on special deals). Shocking!! F.U. Procter & Gamble, I'm heading for the Pizza Hut salad bar.

Ok so first thing tomorrow morning am opening a share-dealing account and putting a big buy order on B&N! :)
This is really cool. Thanks for posting that, I might have a stab at it after that AI midterm exam...

P.s. Am saying 80% as a guess, it could be less.

No wonder we shipped those thickos out of the UK and in droves...

Look at the title, "Microsoft says..." and about their own product. It must be true... right... umm?
If history has taught us anything, the culprit has to be an oil-rich country and the US has to be able to win a war against it... Iran!
I expect you will get a lot of "My parents didn't migrate from socialist Europe to USA to blablabla..." as response.

I think history speaks for itself. You don't want a Russian, Arab or Chinese buyer for your personal email account. Better say goodbye to privacy.

I ain't taking any security certification from them... the MySQL 1&2 was enough.

How much do you pay for those overpriced tortillas in the US? (in the UK it's about $3 for 250g. A multibuy deal price brings it down to $2.30)
