Why should this not a priority? As a software vendor based in Canada who makes his living selling software, I welcome this.
Seriously, what part of illegal are you having trouble with here? They found a bunch of sites where people were provding illegal copies of software and they shut them down. They did their jobs, and I am happy about it.
The pressure from inside Canada to do their jobs should be enough, without having to retreat into some sort of paranoid scenario about pressure from the DMCA, MPAA, RIAA and other four letter acronyms that seem to be hotbuttons for the slashdot community.
Which is exactly what we did when we discovered this. And sure enough, when the Intel compiler thought our AMD was a Genuine Intel certain functions increased dramatically.
The company I work for submitted a few reports on this a few months ago, as I am sure did many others. I am very pleased to see them following up on it.
Thats pretty cool stuff, thanks for pointing out her contribution!
One thing that I find interesting is that her role as a scientist was somewhat celebrated. The wikipedia article still focuses on her celebrety as a movie star but I found myself most interested in how intensely driven she seems to have been.
Yes. And a sperm whales brain is much much larger than yours. This explains the burgeoning sperm whale civilization, and their recent journey to colonize the stars...
My guess (without having played) is for dramatic impact. A shorter field of view means you are more focused on what is in front of you. You have to turn more often, and you get paranoid about your surroundings.
Take it too far and its just annoying - done right, and its super scary.
The scariest scenes in Alien (and other horror movies) take place in tight narrow hallways and crawlspaces for some of the same reasons.

Had it occured to you that maybe all they were saying is that it can be cheaper to film in Missouri than it is in Hollywood, just like the same is true of Bulgaria and other mentioned Nations.
Had it occured to you that thats a GOOD thing for your economies?
Perhaps all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the comparison is brought about solely because of the inferiority complex you are imposing on your self?
Naturally. You misunderstood me. In retrospect I could have said "by which the mystery of so called intelligent design is refuted." That would have made my point a bit clearer.
Without a doubt the dumbest summary I have ever read on Slashdot. So many half baked connections and FUD, I can only think it boils down to this : Someone in Slashdot editorial wanted to put up a Harry Potter story to sync up with the building media hype around the release, and this was the best they could come up with.
Ah yes, because what the Internet really needs is MORE central regulation!
Seriously, considering the USPTO's stellar record, what makes you think thats a decent model for dealing with such problems. Do you really think adding extra layers to the domain application process is going to make this better?
If I want to register ilovecanadianbeavers.com should I have to submit a business case first? Will I have to prove that I am not making porn? Or is porn okay, as long as its the right type of porn? Will www.fuckgoogle.com still be okay?
Only one way to find out I guess. Please wait 4-6 weeks for domain approval.
Yes yes. Evolution to the rescue again. If you aren't protected you are not fit to survive. You made yet another retarded social analogy used the theory of evolution. Congratulations.
Think of it this way, Mr. Anonymous Coward. If I were to take a bat and beat you to death with it, would that be okay, because if you don't survive then you clearly were not fit to survive?
Seems less appealing now, does'nt it. Darwinism is nothing more than one of the mechanisms by which the mystery of so called intelligent design is explained. It is not a guide to social well being.
Ooops. I was browsing unthreaded and missed your parent, sorry. Obviously you are referring to the feature in Firefox, as a reply to the original post.
At least it is for me. I click '/' and type, and it finds what I am looking for. Thanks for reminding me about the feature though - it is one of those I know exists but keep forgetting when I want to use it.
Makes perfect sense. Most times the definitive frames for a shot are stored on a remote server. Most production pipelines involve creating local low resolution proxies to work with - to avoid placing too much strain on the main fileserver, and to prevent saturation of the network.
The bigger your pipe, the fewer proxies you need, the larger the frames you can get from the server, and the less complexity in your pipeline over all.
This happened to me when I was 20. (Nearly 16 years ago).
I met an incredibly hot woman at a club. We hung out a couple of times, then hooked up. She ended up crashing at my apartment most nights for well over a week.
Then one day there is a knock on the door - and when I open it there are two police and her father art my entrance. Seems that 'Angela' was only 15 (in fairness 16 in less than a month) and hadn't been home (or school) in well over two weeks.
She had seemed a bit immature, but no more so than many of the people in my class at university. I can assure you she didn't look 15.
Her father was furious, and the police were obligated to press charges. I am fortunate to have a very good lawyer in the family, so my costs were not as severe as the friend in your story.
Nevertheless it took about a year. A key element in my defense was that I had been introduced to her in a bar, and that I had met her there repeatably before any congress had occured between us. (Ontario drinking age is 19)
In the end I was aquitted, on the basis that she had willfully and sucessfully masked her age from me.
In hindsight, I can recall a hundred things that should have tipped me off to the problem with this girl. No one was serious enough to really get me cautious, and by then the little head was doing all the thinking.
Am I a sex offender? If I had been convicted, it looks like I might have been in some states.
90% of this posting is nothing but pure conjecture. The rest is just wrong.
Your first sentence says you run Windows 2000, and your 11th sentence says you have never paid any money to Microsoft. If you don't agree with the cost of Windows, then don't run it.
Put your money where your pathetic little mouth is and run Linux. Show your support by switching, not waving the moron fan boy flag.

Sorry about that.
Do you know this is already in Firefox?

Somebody needs a hug.
God I loved that series. So glad to hear I wasn't alone.
The art in the Marvel series is always garbage, but the writing in that series was enough to make me forget it for a little while.

I didn't know this. Why would I. Generally speaking GPS is of zero interest to me.
Only an elitist would assume everyone does.
You live in a dream world of fuzzy bunnies and little leprechauns, where everyone can eat chocolate for dinner and stay up as late as they want.
You pay for support, wether you think you do or not. Unless of course, you don't buy anything at all....
So what. I don't want your S. As one of the posts above pointed out - Microsoft is selling a complete solution, not just an OS
Yep, and from reading the rest of the comments, its seems you were not alone.
:)
Scary when the headline generates more interest than the actual article contents
Am I the only person who was wondering why slashdot was talking about Country Music Television for a moment there?
* crickets *
Time to hand in my nerd badge I guess, and slink off into the sunset.
Seriously, though - thanks for clarifying the meaning of CMT in the blurb. A big step forward from the usual Slashdot blurb.
Don't bet on it.
Outside of Pixar, the actual use of Mac's for animation and effects is still a very small minority.
In Soviet Russia, family visits you.
