What about the stuff your learn in post-secondary that does NOT relate directly to your 'career', but round out your skills and ability to adapt to different situations (problem solve) and shift your focus if you burn out in your primary focus?
Hmm.. I dont see this as a big risk. Sure there are folks out there that will get some bucks through a system like this, and perhaps it will alter their 'creation' (whatever it may be), but if that alteration is for the worse (predictable) they will most likely fade away, if that change is pleasing to their audience (whoever that may be) more power to them..
I think most 'creative' people do some work for ca$h, and usually have something going on the side just for fun.. I don't see how this would change that. I know that part of the charm of something you create without any monetary pay-back, is that you dont have to answer to anyone.
--OK.. Did I get enough 'quotes' and (parentheses) in there?
Working Title being the key phrase.. Even if this is accurate, A working title is pretty much meaningless.. I worked on a horrible film that was called "Eaters of the Dead".. It was released as "The 13th Warrior", The Nintendo "Dolphin" is now rumoured to be called the "Starbox", and has anyone played with the Sega "Katana" lately?
The fascinating thing about the 666Mhz G5 iMac SEvil, is that it actually runs infinitely faster than computers running at much higher clock speeds, but also infinitely hotter (Optimal operating temperature is 3 million Degrees F). The downside is that "Eternal Damnation" clause in the EULA, and when running Linux the Daemons can occasionally get a little out of control, spawning evil child processes, and attempting to take over the world.
Hmm.. I'll be creating a 'database' of work by NBC, CBS, Etc.. And offering it for a low cost online.. I intend to recouperate my set-up expenses by Suing these TV station for using the contents of MY database, because ICRAVETV!
Freenet is actually much more efficient than the Web in the way it distributes information. With the Web, if a hundred people in Europe request the same document in America, that will travel under the Atlantic a hundred times. With Freenet it will only travel under once or twice. And then a copy will be stored locally in Europe, where it can be distributed to the other ninety-nine or ninety-eight people requesting it.
this would solve the slashdot effect for content access overload, because it could be cached all over.. So slightly offtopic, Has SlashDot ever considered caching, or mirroring sites they point to? At least the first page, until freenet takes over?
After getting reaction from privacy and law enforcement groups, one will be recommended to Attorney General Janet Reno. He said the university will be selected partly based on its technical expertise in computers and its ability to conduct a "thorough and timely" review. Reno said the university experts will have "total access" to any information they need to conduct their review.
OK Kids.. Here's five dollars, you have twenty minutes to 'review' the system.. No you may NOT open the box - Heres the instruction manual:
Welcome to new CARNIVORE system
Your new CARNIVORE system made from component of hi quality. If use, keep dry. Not to open style case with not user serviceable parts inside.
To Operate
1) Press POWER button
2) plug to NETWORK connection
3) Wait for single beep tone
4) Leave connected- Only AGENT use now
If Problem occur
1) Check power cord - Is plug in?
2) Did POWER button completely depress?
3) Contact AGENT for assistance, No user serviceable parts inside.
So the tracking is easier to do, and easier to analyze, and there is more of it, and it is more meaningful; Do you honestly think your bank, the telephone company, and the credit agencies aren't selling your spending habits to marketers?
That concerns me much more than online tracking - I need to give accurate personal info to the Credit Card companies, I have no real reason to give accurate personal info online. So just because the tracking is easy online, and there is more info, I hardly think that means it is more meaningfull..
I know this is the kind of thing that is impossible to determine, but I'm curious what the percentage of online info given (filled out forms etc) is accurate or usefull. I'm sure slashdot readers have a higher percentage of not giving personal info online, but of overall web-users (that constant stream of newbies), how many feel the need to give true personal info when asked by some market-droid site looking for that big info-goldrush?
As far as super-market cards go, some of the names I have them registered under are:
..is they had to do more with less - the limitations of the technology in some ways enhanced the good games. You couldn't rely as much on eye-candy to sell the game.
Hooboy! How many times have I wished my computers had an 'animate' button - These tools have been in use for a long time, All those shows use some variety of software to finish up the show -That certainly doesn't mean they don't still need a whole team of animators, clean up artists, etc, etc..
The computer on its own is not going to do sweet fuck-all. And you can STILL tell the difference between a project with a good team of artists, and one where they thought maybe the computer could do more. And believe you me, a LOT of effort still has to go into 'good' animation (come to think of it, even 'bad' animation takes a hell of a lot of effort).
I've used toonz (4.0, not 4.4).. Its for 2d (cel) animation.. A package of tools to scan or shoot drawings, composite them, with FX, etc and out put for film or video -decent software, but I prefer 'USAnimation' by toonboom, because it is vector-based. You scan your original art in, and it is converted to vectors for ink & paint, and compositing - The cool thing about this is that its not resolution dependent, you can take your original work and output to a small flash-vector file, or to a huge IMAX size film frame, without getting pixelization.
What's the resolution of those smaller screens?.. If we're shrinking pixels, it could be a good thing, if we're cropping I would think that would cut a bit of the useability out of the Palm.. I use mine to read various new sites through avantgo, and the 160x160 screen is OK for that, but I wouldnt want to go much smaller..
Aw, c'mon. Lets have a real BIG leap in capacity! I want a 30 Terabyte drive that fits under my thumbnail and an optic implant. Lets get FUTURISTIC allready! Sheesh.
As you may have figured out by now, its a typo.. This story has nothing to do with IAS. You can see how it would happen what with those "S" and "M" keys so close together.. br>

How many people stick to one 'career' anymore?

Isn't there *ANYONE* that believes ICANN should be run by a maelevolent evil overlord, with no representation of the general public?

Ah! but these are 10,000 times smaller!.. All I need now is an interface..
So can I take these DNA circuits and introduce them to my body.. Can I overclock my brain? Can I change my mind? Johnny Mnemonic here we come!
No biting
When asked about prior work experience, you don't need to mention the summer at the badger insemination factory.
No hairpulling
Never Look the interviewer directly in the eye, this can appear confrontational
Leave before the interview is over, so you don't seem overly desperate

As far as super-market cards go, some of the names I have them registered under are:
What I mean to say is BigPanda.Net and keenspot. Good online comic stuffs.
I must agree SinFest is an excellent independent web strip. The art is excellent and the writing is great - If it whets your appetite for more independent webcomics check out BigPanda or both excellent sources of online comic goodness that you wont find in your daily paper (and who wants to get ink all over their fingers anyhow).
..is they had to do more with less - the limitations of the technology in some ways enhanced the good games. You couldn't rely as much on eye-candy to sell the game.
I for one am very grateful for the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and themame.dk rom archive -I can finally play these old games again.
Yeah.. Would this thing do a spell check as well? The possibility of typos would be imense!(sp? -see what I mean?)
.. And could you get a 1337 5p33k patch?
"m0v3 d1r3c70ry f00 70 d1r3c70ry 1337_h4ck5"
That would solve the problems created by spilling hot coffee all over the keyboard and ruining it.. Oh.. Wait..
Thats pretty sweet.. Now can I have it with a Tera-Pixel CCD - 8 Month Battery & A Gig- Microdrive?.. Um.. In black please.

If this happens, I may have to shut down my PC over the weekend and go out in the sun.. Have you seen that thing? Its Hot!
