With this scheme the video buffer would be encrypted.
I'm not sure the video buffer itself would be encrypted, that would break a lot Of programs that need to read and write to it... I think they would just encrypt before it gets to the card.
Gee, I know plenty of windows users who know what the "Print Screen" button does.
This is actually the way that some of the earlier DVD-rip programs worked. Capturing video memory for every frame. However, it's not a Guarantied way to do things. For one thing, you have the issue of video ports, witch are a special way to reallocate a block of screen space in a different memory aria. With my old TV-Tuner Card, trying to do a print-screen of the TV would get me a big purple square. (Of course, my TV tuner card had raw input anyway, so this wasn't a problem)
Think about it this way, if there had been no DeCSS, there would be no (encrypted, not all DVDs are encrypted) DVD's on Linux. Presumably, this isn't being done to prevent people from saving the state of their computer monitor, but rather to prevent people from recording copyrighted material. Its possible that there might be a DVDCCA style license for this stuff, so Microsoft could just disable the Print-screen, or something (even going so far as to put the video-port aria into protected memory). They could also allow no open source players at all.
Of course, if you really want to record this stuff, all you need is a cam-corder. A bright LCD screen will probably record pretty well...
A blue gaseous allotrope of oxygen, O3, formed naturally from diatomic oxygen by electric discharge or exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It is an unstable, powerfully bleaching, poisonous oxidizing agent with a pungent, irritating odor, used to deodorize air, purify water, treat industrial wastes and as a bleach. Informal. Fresh, pure air.
I guess I see your point. Actualy, I'm not sure if many people still buy that or not... who knows.
I didn't have to much trouble learning premiere in my highschool media-art class... but then again I'm someone who would consider seting up a DNS server in UNIX to be 'moderatly difficult'. My 4d art teacher was still telling people to make every frame in photoshop, and then import them, when I was doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
I've never seen or used iMovie, but for anyone with a decent level of computer skills, Premiere is not that hard to pick up and use. Sure, some super-geek might be able to program a lisp based AI in Emacs, but it's not that hard to learn a few basic keystrokes and use it to write text files. Same with premiere, or any other decently designed App.
do the video-editing tools that ship with the iMac DV. Apple is just trying to bring the sort of power that's traditionally been in the hands of professional video editors to the general public. This is a Good Thing.
The kinds of things that the DV iMac is capable of have been in the hands of the general public -- through add on cards -- for years, recently for as little as $50 - $200 (For firewire + MPEG). Add that to our hypothetic Athlon 500 box, and it's still only $700. $500 less then even the cost of a DV iMac.
Now, I haven't looked specifically, but I bet some enterprising individual has hacked together a Mac driver for the GeForce. And you're forgetting Voodoo3 (which is supposed to be damn good)
The V3's OK, but not better then a GeForce. And I really doubt anyones written an OpenGL driver for the GeForce on the mac. It took months for the G200 - G400 open source teams to write drivers for Linux with specs, the most a Mac User would be able to use wold have Nvidia's Badly obvuscated code (That's much slower then the windows version). And code like that won't cross compile. There are no specs on the GeForce available (Infact I'm not even sure that there's any Linux source drivers out there at all, right now)

Well, I wouldn't be caught dead using an iBook. Diffrent people like diffrent things, and I've found apple-lovers seem to love everything that apple comes out with
Ok, ok, there's a pretty big diffrence between those two boxes, but not three thousand dolars worth. 128mb ram == $150.. 27gig HD == $180, and a 16mb video card (TNT2) is about $100... so about another $400, that still leaves a total of $2400 diffrence.
...doesn't count AltiVec. Checked RC5 lately for processor benchmarks?
About the only real use for this stuff by the average person is games, and PCs are better for games then macs (TNT2 || GeForce Vs ATI). If all you really wanted to do was crack keys, you could just get seven of those athlon boxes (The amount of ram dosn't really effect Keycracking speed:).
The PPC will outperform an Intel chip by 15% to 30+%, on a clock for clock basis: the PIII 600 is eyeball to eyeball with the G3 500 or the G4 450,
Clock for clock An Athlon is 15-30%+ faster then a pIII as well. Of course, a Mac with a 500mhz g4 costs $3,499 on the apple store, whereas pricewatch lists the cheapest 500mhz Athlon at $599. that's $2900 less. (800mhz costs $1300).
The G4e due out this fall ought to leave Intel permanently in the dust, and pull only a fraction of the power.
Hrm... They might beat a pIII, but by then, we'll all be using 1.2gighz Athlons... Really, it's been months and apple has just barely gotten to 500mhz. Face it, your behind.
I really think that good humor should be in good taste.
I do not, nor to millions of other people. I enjoy southpark. I enjoy The Stile Project. If you don't, then that's your choice.
I would rather not see articles and comments praising South Park for its humor and originality and tunefulness, and forgetting the fact that vulgar language is an ugly black mark on those who use it. I don't care if you think I'm old-fashioned, I just don't like it!
Southpark isHumorous, and original, and truthful. The articles are not wrong, regardless of what you think is 'appropriate'. That little "black mark" is worth millions, because not everybody agrees with you. If you don't like it, I'm sure there are some American Family Assoc. news sites that you can visit.

The matrix was nominated for Film Editing As well. I doubt it will win, however, people tend to give every award to 'best picture' (Like titanic getting 'best makeup' for the frozen faces at the end, or somthing)
But anyway, it's cool to see the matrix with a nomination:)

When Clinton said he did not have sex with Monica he was speaking in terms of the definition of sex he was given by Paula Jones' lawyers in his deposition,

What the hell is the point of having a huge mass of encrypted, usless, data? If you can't decrypt the data, you can't ever watch it. If you don't take the decryption keys when you copy (witch you can not do with a normal DVD-ROM drive)
The only way to watch a movie after you have the encrypted file is by decrypting it. A licensed player can't play a file without they keys (although a lot of people on slashdot don't seem to understand this). So, in order to watch the movie, you need to decrypt it. This isn't hard; because DVD encryption is amazingly shoddy. But, you still need to use something to do it... something like... (say it with me, people) DeCSS.
You need DeCSS on one end of the equation, or you haven't copied anything. DeCSS makes doing a pure digital copy of a.VOB file possible. (Yes, there other means, but almost all require at least some kind of special hardware (MPEG encoder cards, or huge, 140gig hard drives at the least).

Sorry, there is no PC-equivalent to iMovie. You can pretend, but making a movie on a PC is not easy.
Do you know what Adobe Premere is? (I assume iMovie a software program)
Formac video card with 3D glasses and *real* 3D.
PC's have had this forever. PC's are better game platforms, period. Just ask john carmack, not much has happend since he made those comments.
