Trust me, the quality wasn't that good. You'd have to watch it frame by frame and still squint to decipher the names.
Huge animated GIF would be a much better format for these kinds of simple animations that actually rely on text. But since GIFs are EVIL are there any other choices? Where's MNG at the moment?
It was fantastic if you are willing to ignore the fact that Rohan is apparently 5000+ km away from Gondor
Approximately 370 miles. Definitely under 400 miles even by the road from Edoras to Minas Tirith. Measured from the larger-scale map of Rohan/Gondor in the end of my copy of LotR.
Not to mention that fact that flying on the helicopter and shooting some random mountains and later slapping some CGI fires there does not qualify as fantastic cinematography.

Superconducting wires allow the electricity generated by the fusion plant to be conducted to the elevator car of the space elevator, eliminating the need for rockets. Duh.
It's not enough to be not speaking to the phone. You'd also have to shut off te radio part of the phone. While you're flying that cell phone is constantly transmitting at peak power and trying to find network coverage.
I think Nokias Communicators feature a PDA-only mode with the phone-part turned off. Dunno if the n-gage has it.
Despite being a longtime/. reader I'm still not an expert on USA laws (or what ever place we are discussing). Is it legal to record music from radio broadcasts over there?
I'm asking because here in Finland it is. By the same law it is also legal to download songs from Internet. Only _distributing_ without proper permission is illegal. As it should be.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it might be completely legal for me to take your car for personal use, provided that you still have access to that car:)
Everyone, read your copyright laws and court rulings, or preferably check with your local EFF. They should have the answer already.
Here in Finland the fee is 10 Euros, also once. None of the providers actually charge that because they want the new customers.

This is so true. A cell phone market where all the phones are unlocked and operators are forbidden to subsidise the cost of the phones is completely different than a market where phones are operator-locked and heavily subsidised by operators.
It's like buying a car from Shell and then being allowed to use only Shells fuel.
I believe Perl is so liked because it gives the programmer a similar level of freedom than C when coding applications, but removes the tedious dynamic memory allocation and buffer overflow preventation.
Last semester I took a Java-programming course and a course on processor architectures. The latter had me doing a simple program on MIPS R3000 assembler.
This semester I decided to take a C-programming course. At the first lecture the speaker raved about how every possible platform has a C-compiler and how C is 2.5 generation language 2G being assembler and how it was so very good.
To my complete shock he was right. Comparing to my last semester experience C is much closer to assembler than for example Java.
I agree with the original article: for the most part you do not need the extreme speed of C. The maount of time you spend with debugging memory leaks and taking care of buffer overflows could be much better spent creating new features or debugging logical flaws. C is great for device drivers or kernel but let's leave it there!
If you'd read the whole FAQ you are quoting you wold see that
Are anchor (<a>) tags prefetched?
No, only tags w/ a relation type of next or prefetch are prefetched. However, if there is sufficient interest, we may expand link prefetching support to include prefetching tags, which include a relation type of next or prefetch in the future. Doing so would probably help content providers avoid the problem of stale prefetching links.
So content-providers can decide all by themselves if they want to pre-serve the content. Althoug it is possible for a malicious web-site to set pre-fetch headers pointing to third-party web-site , thus draining their bandwidth.
Also:
As a server admin, can I distinguish prefetch requests from normal requests?
Yes, we send the following header along with each prefetch request: X-moz: prefetch
Of course, this request header is not at all standardized, and it may change in future Mozilla releases.

That's closer to Danish (or maybe Norwegian) than French... Or is there some hidden sect in France that uses Danish as a secret language?
Isn't most bootlegging done because fans want to hear the live versions or songs that are not published?
