The best is to take the 65mm neg (or blow up if your master is wimpy) do a color separation and print each color to black&white paper. Not sure if it's available now but the reconstructions from films archived that way are basically as good as the originals.
Oh yea duh... but waiting for all the modules to be installed should make it even more fun. I wonder what it would cost to make a space walk? Gotta get going on that web3.0 killer app.
How important is getting (above the line) NAME actors involved in your upcoming productions? The headline (Tom) is a bit of a troll, but if a producer brought a (great) script about hackers with Tom attached would you be eager to be involved? Do you see YouTube 'celebs' like say a future 'ObamaGirl' having enough crossover awareness to 'open' a theatrical production?
Just a note from a Yank who was rather embarrassed about some of the post-9/11 over-reactions: I'm actually pleased to see that this post has failed to garner the reactionary comments and faux-death threats that I would have expected even a couple years ago.
No no no no no - Do not lie. Getting caught in a lie is so much worse. Once caught in a lie anything you say can be discounted in court. Review the previous very good advice about STFU.
Alphasmarts are great for input only. Kinda like the cat editor, you know cat >important_file.c... Very cool if one needs to type for hours, oh say, mind dump on a long plane ride, but really, uploading to the phone for editing would be easier than the Asmart one line 'screen'.
Just like pens, never buy a pen, just ignore the tacky logo. Actually I kinda like pens with a message from an industry I'll never have any associatiation.
At one point the coolest schwag was a thumb drive, maybe in a year or two a tacky branded wifi computer will be coolest.
Then we'll have flicker shots from 3rd world countries where kids hold up computers that match the corporate logo on their tee, zoom in on the high rez photo and see the spam script running on the free computer...
Well actually you do. Do you really think a 'producer' comes up with the 'challenges'? The host is all 'adlibs'?
One subtle sticking point was that the 'non-writers that 'sketched' out the challenges are covered by another union (IATSE?) and the studio heads were able to use that to play off workers against each other.
There needs to be sufficient tools and supplies that any of these problems can be fixed without sending up a 5 Billion dollar delivery. This would be an ideal spot for a 3D printer, even if it was very expensive. Need a part? Make and customize, 3 hours...
Choices were made, oh in the 80's (not sure of the time frame), that changed the rules that corporations 'judged success'. Prior to that investors made money off dividends and long term growth was the measure of success. Leveraged buyouts and huge IPO's just did not occur. Then the economists figgured how to game the system...
Most corporate execs are honest hardworking folk that follow the rules. But the RULES are skewed.
Thus, I have no issue with Moraelin's observation of disparieties, I certainly am often appalled. I read Ben and Jerrys tried to enforce a max 1:7 ratio between salaries, they are maybe the ultimate idealistic corporation, but they could not find a CEO at that price. I don't get it. It's not right, but it's the way the rules work these days.

Yes, a tad flip and no where near enough conspiracy theorist for this crowd, but just think about it for a moment...

Could be serious, can't you just see some poor grad student needing a intervention after a long weekend following circular references...
I hope this thread has minimal snarky sarcastic comments, this is just sad all around.

This should be making big news, but I expect they are keeping it low key. The Mir was almost destroyed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/1087974.stm during an automated docking trial.
Stand on your number or get on last.
The tickets are scanned, if you're out of order you're shunted into a hold box (where everyone can look at you and you board last after stragelers.
If people can find their seat number I expect they could find their square.
Free Booze. (assuming the flight is on the company I guess)

that know how to game the system will ever get to the airport on time, cool.
No wait, a human-roach hybrid, now that could like become the actual true master race...
Yep, the tata would be almost as good as a bus, heck you could fit six guys and another dozen chickens just on the roof!

Exactly, there's even a book about the biggest most heavily funded effort: Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software but download it and try it out!
Has any actor/writer/director been legitimately peeved by your often acrid, yet so very accurate commentary?
You really can't afford it.

Think about it.
Exactly, thanks Tony.

Remember that he is compensated for his *fiduciary* responsibility to the shareholders. Adjust
that and the corporations will change quite quickly.
