60/s movies are a blast! Too bad that today all manufacturers seem to be preoccupied to make their TV/DVD/BD/projectors sync better with 24/s
As to 3D TV buyer profiles I have noticed that even though lots of friends have bought new tv sets and home cinemas none actually bought a 3D one... Who is actually buying these things?
Well as with all inventions you have to use them well in order to achieve brilliance. HP for example had very nice 3D effects that some might argue made the movie come alive...
just some issues I have with 3D in cinemas:
everybody still uses focusing lenses to blur out the unimportant bits of a scene in 3D. Isn't the whole point of 3D to aid immersion? I cant remember having the world selectively going blurry on me.
cinemas need to invest in brighter projection techniques since the glasses cut luminosity
cinemas should develop and publicise a standard for 3d glasses so that people with vision problems can go and have glasses custom made. This also applies to people who don't want other visitors' skin infections.
I thought I had more to say on the matter but apparently I didn't...
In the end of the day I still will need anti nausea medication and painkillers after attending a 3D movie but at least I won't be pissed with the director/cinema...
"Earth that was could no longer sustain our numbers, we were so many. We found a new solar system, dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. Each one terra-formed a process taking decades, to support human life, to be new earths. The Central Planets formed the Alliance. Ruled by an interplanetary parliament, the Alliance was a beacon of civilization. The savage outer planets were not so enlightened and refused Alliance control. The war was devastating, but the Alliance's victory over the Independents insured a safer universe. And now everyone can enjoy the comfort, and enlightenment of your civilization."
Well, since humanity's `welfare infrastructure` insists on curing and feeding the idiot's and the sick I think that this is a consequence we have to live with...
Well, you really have to be thick to think that an open and free Internet will be investment unfriendly.
The only people that would lose from that are people invested in 18th century capitalism (see: modern day politicians and economic values merchants) and since those people exist only for the purpose of perpetuating their lineage it its quite a safe assumption that humanity could do away with them.
To be honest I really never understood how it has become to be the accepted way, to pay people for their past services. So you want to be an ubercool gazillionaire? very well provide a constant high value service to people and get paid high amounts for it but don't go asking everyone for money because you first of all men thought of how to wipe your a** after defecating.
Concerning ownership of digital items (data, to the intelligent people): how could anybody put a price tag on a copy of something that can be copied without any costs keeping in mind that the electricity needed for a file transfer of a.mp3 file could easily be generated with rubber and some wool.
People will just move to namecoin, first site admins and then the general populus (just as it happened 35 years ago with ip protocol) and centrally operated DNS will just become obsolete...
well, I don't understand where You are at this because while engineers and scientists may have on appearances few connecting vectors they do have a lot in common with engineers (well, maybe not with copy/paste ones) on the other hand You can't invent without innovating so those two words are kind of mutually inclusive..
I don't know what designers are to artists, IMO designers are artists who understand how to monetize their services and that is as what they should be used.
to add to the general designer/developer conversation: I think that UI/UX developers should do UI/UX I think that busyness logic and backbones should be the responsibility of developers I think that designers should be given free room to innovate and to connect UI development with application development having as a responsibility the best possible presentation and performance of UI/UX.
The Robin Hood legend is about the robbers who were different.
The Robin Hood legend is about individuals trying to punish tyrany
LulzSec is a group of men who try to punish a TBTF company.
As far as I know LulzSec hasn't showed any interest in getting rich from the whole op. They may as well have a lot of valuable information but how they use it is the key factor here.
So yes, you can relate them. If you should relate them is a matter of personal choice.
BTW: I think that the Sheriff of Nottingham also would have tried to portrait the actions of Robin Hood as thugish and terroristy...
I was in a bank once, while it was being robed! Ok, it wasn't the nicest experience I ever had and I might have been inconvenienced a bit. Did I lose the money I had in the bank? No. Did I loose the info I had stored in it? No. Did I manage to do the jobs I had with the bank? Yes, I just went to another branch.
So if you are going to create a service infrastructure that hasn't enough failsaves and backup plans to deal with a simple digital break in then you damn well deserve to be reduced to the economic equivalent of decarbonized organic material... And all people who trusted your Services (including Yours truly) deserve a very big refund for your incompetence and a big slap in the face for being such fools!
well, if they decide to mainline the hidden search/location bar they probably will use features like right-click, new-tab, etc to give search input solutions.
No it's not. Memory management in chrome is still poor and to maximize screen real estate you F11 anyway so trying to be frugal with the nav bar is just pr/management running out of ideas.
I don't really believe that it is a good idea to hide url information from the users. On the other side I run browsers on my netbook always full screen. On another note though I can use the keyboard to get my way around an os and browser so it doesn't have an impact on my usage or the info that comes my way.
Summarizing I think that there are better ways for people to use more screen real estate if they are willing to educate themselves (xmonad, fullscreened applications) and the general populous should just keep up using the legacy interfaces since all other devitions just give up security or info...
Idk about threatening notes but I think the attack did leave an economic impression on Sony. in the weeks PSN is down they surely have lost millions in sales, they have lost user loyalty and possibly helped their competitors cement themselves as the 'reliable' choice.
I'm not sure how important that is to Sony atm but I think some more persistent outages and even a giant like Sony won't be able to keep standing with the losses
Sorry for the misunderstanding, let me clarify: I don't assume you are an idiot because you have an opinion. I know you have something seriously wrong in your head because you think the way forward is clinging to a badly conceived, badly executed, proprietary browser plugin in stead of using fresh and native tools to express yourself.

Did that guy just say that closed source software is less customizable than open source software?
Awww....

How come the guy who runs Elisa still has them?
But I'm not one of those.

DNS is dead
Long live namecoin!
Very correct sir.
Why is it we need software patents again?
I'll drink to that one!
If I had mod points You sir would be tasting some of my mod uberness right now! :-)
Is there such a thing as a `real` software patent?
if it is can I get a `real` garbage collector to clean up my room once in a while?

and that is a lie.
You conveniently forget to mention that the list you refer to is the list of top 5 browsers.
On another hand maybe you didn't know there exist more that that many applications whose sole purpose is to display HTML...

Well, it isn't German but it definitely sounds powerful.
well, it was morning. So I forgive me (see? I could have written myself there but I didn't)
ohh, wait I have to say something about this!!!!

...he was writing about segregation on humanevents.com, TROLL.
Don't these guys normally have staff to do that kind of thing for them? You know, PR specialists, writers, Novelists?
