The wheezing may be annoying, but it was intentional and part of the character. Try listening to Roger Ebert's commentary, it may help you forgive that part. Its actually quite a good commentary, and I appreciate the film even more since watching it last night.
While I found the matrix "cool" it wasn't the greatest movie ever. In fact I like Dark City much better. It has a somewhat similar plot(humans inside a huge experiment) but no kung fu, and no keanu reeves. While the acting isn't superb, it is respectable. The story is also more interesting, and it can talk about philosophy without being sophomoric or preachy, I think.
If it had come out after the Matrix, I would've called it a rip-off( at least the beginnings of the idea). I really liked the fact that Dark City has a more consistent story line, and a better idea of what the ultimate technology really is.
The only thing that I don't like is that its a very dark movie; you don't want to watch this with your grandma or your little brother. THe dark feel, though does go along very well with the story.
So for all of you that don't like the matrix check this out. For those that did, remember, this came out first, its not a rip-off.
I think that this is AMD's goal in the long run. It would seem to be able to work this way. From what I've heard, x86-64 may be able to work efficiently by itlself, without older x86 instructions, so apps compiled for it could be legacy-free. THis is just hearsay, but it seems very logical. If Intel is supporting them, that is, builing its own x86-64 chip, then this could really take off. They could also start shipping x86-64 chips without the x86 instructions in a couple years, along with the ones with legacy support as more expensive versions or something. THey could even emulate the old isntructions once chips get fast enough.
Yes, Yes , Yes I'm glad you mentioned that , I also enjoyed that show. I haven't seen it in years, it'd be nice if Cartoon Network brought it back. I'm not sure who the 3 were, I remember Ice-Man, and Firestar, but the third? Could it maybe be that Spiderman was part of the trio himself?
This seems like a really great Idea, I mean there are so many movies that are barely worth watching that could become decent. While this could be great for making PG-13 cuts of R movies, I think I might be much better to cut scenes and story parts to just make the moveis plain better.
there many movies that could benefit greatly from editting and even a few that could go from garbage to awesome, just from story editting.
my big gripe with movies today is the writing, they start out as a bad story, e.g. Star Wars Epsode I, and no amount of superb acting, speciel effects, or cinamatography, short of a story rewrite can save such film from mediocrity.
If they drop support for Itanium, people just won't use windows! When switching from one architecture to another, it isn't a big stretch to switch OS's as well. At this point I don't think the Microsoft would try dropping support. Applications have to be ported to EPIC anyway, it isn't too far to port to EPIC Linux than 64-bit Windows.
So they might be shooting intel, but shooting through their own foot!
THis is a great processor, but useless without a good compiler. I've heard its no better than a K6-2 right now. Kinda similar to Itanium, great in theory...
On the plus side, when someone does have a really good compiler for it, you only need software to get the true power out of this baby, no more hardware upgrades.
Actually, at school here, KDE is basically it for environments using Solaris. We just got some new Sun Blade's and the default on them is KDE. It works pretty well, only problem is that is 2.0.1 I think, so its pretty old.
However I think that was our Sysadmin's choice, and he might've installed it himself. It works great though! I'll ask him about it if anyone wants to know.
anyone wanna wager how long it will take for some worm to exploit this? I know it can' t spread as easily as an outlook worm, because excel doen't do communication like outlook, but still, this could be nasty. If paired with the next outlook/IIS security hole, if could be just as bad.
Is the hole exploitable in Mac OS X? Does the unix architecture and security prevent this from being a problem?
No, it really was pretty obvious. I wished I could do that since we got our first VCR, but I didn't have the technical know-how to implement it back then.
I think that TIVO shouldn't have to pay him anything. He created that patent, sure, but didn't know how to make it work well, as in marketable. Tivo actually made it to market, and I doubt that they stole the idea from him. The idea of patents is to not have to worry about competition steal or reverse engineer your product to sell their own. This guy didn't have a product to sell based upon his creation, and just because someone had the same idea years later, but actaully build a product around it, doesn't give him the right to sue them.
That seems just to me, of course it seems that many courts gave up justice for technicality years ago.
No, it seems about right. Heck, we're headed for the dark ages again anyway, you're just ahead of your time. Maybe we could ever prosecute Ashcroft and Congress under the new laws, because the new law will terrorize IT people much more than any cracker could. I mean, now they have to worry about anything they do, like opening up the wrong firewall port, or setting the wrong security settings with the threat of life inprisonment, because someone will call it terrorism.
Now, I'm ready for a big surprise from AMD when the new Palomino desktop processors can support a faster bus that can take full advantage of nForce. After all, why are they waiting so long with desktop Palomino? That would be great, but I'm not real hopeful.
This is good news!! It means that they are making some money! The question though, is how much of their business are 1 time deals, and how much is from companies and people that are continuing to purchase Red Hat support and services. Now that hardware has dried up a bit, how long will it take for Linux to reach a standstill in market share, and customers?
And if people listened to the other things this "old guy" says, there wouldn't be nearly as many cases of AIDS. The Catholic church is against pre-marital sex as well, so if people actually followed that at all, the only way to get AIDS is a blodd transfusion or some kind of bloody accident...
...they just don't know it yet.
I think that with digital media, they can never again control distribution of it as they did before. New things will pop up as soon as they sue old ones out of business.
Because artists can much more easily create and distribute their music, you don't need record companies so much. As soon as a few big artists independently publish albums and sell them over the internet, the RIAA will die. And I hope they do.
Good teachers are most important today for a good education. Computers are just another teaching tool, maybe as useful as textbooks.
What computers do have over textbooks is interactivity. You can't interact with a book. You can discuss it with other people, and think about it, but the book doens't talk back. Computers, I think do have the possibility to revolutionize education. We just don't know how yet. I can concieve that programms could communicate much information to students. Spelling, grammar, basic math,geography, and some other stuff can at least partially be taught by computers I think. All the busy work won't need teachers. So the teachers would be free to discuss ideas with students and do the real critical thinking stuff that really needs teachers.
I may be really optimistic, but I think its possibe. However we aren't at this point yet, so computers only teach about themselves. This can be a big issue, but it isn't so critical yet.
Maybe you can write a program to teach something excellent!
There is a way to install with one, or even 0 floppies, if you have a dos partition. I've seen it done, but was unfamiliar with linux at the time to remember how.

Naw, I'd much rather see Natalie Portman in Star Wars. Which despite the bad title could be decent.
Kirsten Dunst isn't that hot anyway(go see Tara Reid in Van Wilder)
