Now almost any half-assed movie is gonna have a "making of" featurette on the DVD release
No kidding. And when they interview the actors I bet they talk about how giving and professional the other actors were, and what a joy it was to work at their craft.
Thanks... I had never seen Citizen Cane and was going to enjoy viewing it with my family this evening...Needless to say, the ending of the movie was spoiled by your inconsiderate self
How thoughtless he was. BTW, in The Crying Game, It's a guy.
You make some good points, some I hadn't considered, but if Jpg2 means better/more porn then it will get adopted.
The economic pressure on consuming bandwidth (by providers) will also help it along. It won't be difficult for web content creators to support it because they can browser-detect and server the appropriate images. They don't have to maintain two sets of everything, just have a smart server layer that sends the right images. In some circumstances it maybe even converts the jpg2 files on the fly, making it trivial for the content creator.
I guess this is the post I should have written the first time, instead of that flippant remark. Sorry.
Yeah! And why do these damn programmers get paid so much anyway? It's just typing, for chrissakes!

Here's an explanation of how it all works:
Groucho: Now pay particular attention to this first clause, because it's most important. There's the particle of the first part shall be known in this contract as the particle of the first part. How do you like that, that's pretty neat eh?
Chico: No, that's no good.
Groucho Marx: What's the matter with it?
Chico: I don't know, let's hear it again.
Groucho: So the particle of the first part shall be known in this contract as the particle of the first part.
Chico: Well it sounds a little better this time.
Groucho: Well, it grows on you. Would you like to hear it once more?
Chico: Just the first part.
Groucho: What do you mean, the particle of the first part?
Chico: No, the first part of the particle, of the first part.
Groucho: All right. It says the first part of the particle of the first part shall be known in this contract as the first part of the particle of the first part, shall be known in this contract - look, why should we quarrel about a thing like this, we'll take it right out, eh?
Chico: Yes, it's too long anyhow. Now what have we got left?
Groucho: Well I've got about a foot and a half.
Groucho: Now what's the matter?
Chico: I don't like the second particle either. Hey look, why can't the first part of the second particle be the second part of the first particle, then you'll get something.
Groucho: Well look, rather than go through all that again, what do you say?
Chico: Fine.
Groucho: Now I've got something here you're bound to like, you'll be crazy about it.
Chico: No, I don't like it.
Groucho: You don't like what?
Chico: Whatever it is, I don't like it.
Groucho: Well don't let's break up an old friendship over a thing like that. Ready?
Chico: OK. Now the next part I don't think you're going to like.
Groucho: Well your word's good enough for me. Now then, is my word good enough for you?
Chico: I should say not.
Groucho: Well I'll take out two more clauses. Now the particle of the eighth part --
Chico: No, that's no good, no.
Groucho: The particle of the ninth part --
Chico: No, that's no good too. Hey, how is it my contract is skinnier than yours?
Groucho: Well, I don't know, you must have been out on a tail last night. But anyhow, we're all set now, are we? Now just you put your name right down there, then the deal is legal.
Chico: I forgot to tell you, I can't write.
Groucho: Well that's all right, there's no ink in the pen anyhow. But listen, it's a contract isn't it? We've got a contract, no matter how small it is.
Chico: Oh sure. You bet.

he wants to go back in time and warn his father, who died of cancer when he was 10, of the danger of cigarettes.
OK, so he goes back and warns his father, who promptly gives up cigarettes, thus removing the motivation for the professor to invent the time machine...
Almost all posts on this story so far have been about how the Soviets and the Apache helicoptor have had systems similar to this before.
That's because on Slashdot there are only two possible responses to a story about new technology:
A: This is nothing new, my cousin's friend knew a guy who did something vaguely similar once before. B: This can't possibly work because it has no foundation.
They sells text ads on their main site. Yahoo pays them a fee. So how will the API users pay for themselves?
They'll get the placement ads like everybody else, and now Google will have people writing their own programs to retrieve those ads. This also helps Google to be the default search engine.
We're going to do it anyway, and since we've only a handful of generations until the computers get smarter than we are it doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

sheesh, you state that like it were a known fact or something. All it is is somebody's pull-it-out-of-their-ass speculation.

Ten days total, or ten days of driving plus the few days of stops?
For very small values of complete, you mean. At the top of the page you cited:
There are hundreds more not on that list.No, he's right. The did a study and it turns out that human clones eventually develop big floppy feet and a red nose.
Here's a thorough one.
I think it's from that song...Ping, a note preceding Pong, and that brings us back more dough dough dough dough....

They do. For example:
There. I've run rings around you, logically.Clearly you haven't seen some of the people around here.
I think then you'd get a result like in the movie Scanners. There's your bam for ya.
There are plenty of people with noses who don't have those rights.
Well, yeah, but now you have to live in Southern Indiana. I'd hardly call that a good deal.
