interestingly, the jews are a culture of victims. the whole country of israel is a string of one national tragedy after another.
my point: have you by chance peked into one of the israeli news tickers? This is like some kind of banner of strength apparently. "Rmember the Alamo" all over again. "Ramon: National Hero" is the word of the day.
Both Bush and Sharon are pledging to not back down in the pursuit of continued space travel.
DEFINITELY start reading the magazines associated with the business!!
Cinefex is a terrific place to start. it's solid jargon, and talks tech easily. that's good, cos you discover most other publications just advertise a lot, and tell very little.
Our pals at google do have a nice listing of other trade publications you can look up.
mm. good point. only, i would suggest Adobe's LiveMotion. similar, but better. allows you to animate by seconds, not fFrames (if you want). fFor example. and it's adobe, which means a short learning curve fFrom photoshop.
why not gimp? gimp does amazing things, you know...
or do you just mean "don't use gimp to edit animations". in which case, you are correct. if you had to, you could use the MPEG plugins and the animation pack to do what you need to. but the animation pack is obscenely clumsy, and the MPEG plugin seems to work almost never. (YMMV)
HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE: fFilmGimp is on the prowl!!!!!! http://www.gnu.org/directory/vid/misc/FilmGimp.htm l sorry about the caps, but really really really, it looks incredible. i havent used it yet (no need, really) but it basically uses the gimp structure to work with a different kind of fFile, essentially.
also, the gimp-win lists have been barraged with promos about fFilmGimp coming to win32. it should be arriving any day now. you know, in case you like that sort of thing.
you think so? i fFind it pretty easy to get around to what i need in linux. i mean, sure, knowing how linux works at all is nice. like how to 'make' some cool new killer app you have just dug up. and a fFundamental knowledge of how a computer works. but this is all part and parecl of being (or, rather, becoming) a power user of any application.
if the goal is, instead to just "turn on, paint, save, print, exit" then i would say any platform will do, as long as youi can get it setup right.
you make good points. not only is it to keep the jury on target but also, in appending to that is this tidbit:
The Jury's job is to evaluate the material presented to them. I've served jury duty, and we really wanted to know more about a certain piece of evidence. it probably would have made one side or the other's case. however, that data was not presented, therefore it was "out of bounds". or in other words, if it isn't spoken or presented, and isn't within our reasonable background of knowledge as jurors, then we are not allowed to consider it.
now, had elcommsoft's defense presented the text of the law, it may have been readable by the jury. (but the judge can deny it. which is a whole other matter)
Re:more about the game

Awari Solved

· Score: 2
someone should also point out: there are as many rule variations to awari/mancala as there are native vilages who play it. (it supposedly was born in africa)
do be sure to read the rules on this site. they are a little fFunny fFrom others i've seen. basically the same exact game tho.
5 ppl now have pointed me to PS on OS X, even after i thanked someone fFor pointing it out.
and of *course* gimp runs on OS X. but like... why on earth would i use gimp on OS X on linux? why ever wouldnt i just use gimp on linux? thus, the point of the statement. gettit?
yeah, i agree. i think this, as well as the article about the guy who scanned his records and converted them into.WAVs, comes under the category of "hey, look what i can do!"
pretty cool, guys.
actually, i'm certain there are plenty of uses here. it would be nice if someone could make a list of ideas. like, softwares which won't work under linux, but will work under OS X in this manner.
i would love to see reverse compatibility. even MORE useless hack, this would convert a.WAV into a vinyl track image.
i think it would work a lot better, really. the computer can produce a much clearer image than a scanner can RE-produce.
in theory, it would be relatively simple, once you know how the audio is "encrypted" in each method. see, in converting to.WAV, you have to deal with tracking, noise, all that. but going to.PNG, you can have all the clarity you want. it's merely dependent on how large (hi-resolution) you want the image to be.
even if it were a gimp script, it would be really, really awesome. (and yes, completely useless:)
then again, a bunch of people were talking about laser turntables. presumably the laser just reads the visual data? so a printed image would probably work well. possibly even be optimal.
you would be on to something. except a couple points.
1) record companies don't care so much about records. CDs are where the money is. if they started to really lose money on this, it would be pursued, probably. but as is, the technology is kinda like abandonware. they *could* sue, but probably wont at all. there's no money in it.
2) they can only call on copyright law if copyrigts are being broken. this guy used the 4 seasons, which i believe is beyond the legal copyright limit. so he's OK.
3) it's conceivable a company might actually *like* this, because it means people will have a new reason to actually buy LPs, again. (this is less likely, since lots of geeks who might try this out probably have some LPs already.)
4) and this is the big one. the Edison Electric Company, among others, put a lot of work into the vinyl record concept a century ago. it's quite safe to say the RIAA has no claim in the tech at hand. not only would no court in the land hear it, but no lawyer would take on the case. the technological precedent is quite clear.
so the only thing anyone *might* get into is copyright infringement. which is pretty much an open and shut case.
in our defense, Celsius only works if you have some idea how hot 'boiling point' is in people terms.
F works kinda nice because it gauges the standard human range of temperatures. 100 is much too hot, 0 is much too cold. 50 is a nice day out. 30 is damn cold. 70 is a tad warm.
(actually here's where it shows its european roots: the scale is a bit chillier than americans like. so really 40 is much to cold, 60 is a nice day, and 80 warm. just bump it up 10 degrees to measure american whims.)
could you explain your sig? i'm just curious. like, i'm guessing they're scam artists. but i dunno, there just looks like a good story here or something.

perhaps most important of any, is the school in vancouver where everyone at all goes to learn how to do 3-D.
pixar hires people straight out of that school; sometimes sends people there to train.

really? i fFind electrical tape to be a lot more useful. fFor computer stuff, duct is a bit messy, and tends to lack in bonding strength.
also, 3M does make some very impressive double stick tape.
heh. which jetways?

ok, i can now turn off my computer, quit my job, and wander the country side in solemn contemplation.
i have seen --- everything.
absolutely astounding.
yeah? well, this guy has ported apache onto his TRS-80! top that!
(oh, uhm, yeah, this was slashdotted, too.)
(and he's a really fFun guy, with a good sense of humor)
i'd still like to see someone compile the code.
but ok. i'll go with it. i mean, i *want* to believe. this just kicks so much ass.
please? can someone compile the code and try it yourself?
you would be on to something. except a couple points.

blade is my fFavorite! i really enjoy his personal outlook on the technology, and greatly appreciate all the work put in on the product.
ah well, i cant blame him. lets hope he keeps the latest version available fFor a while.
i agree with his observations on Ogg Vorbis. it is basically better. but i think until it is a little more widely used, i'll stick with blade.
thanks fFor a good run!
