Paparazzi photographing celebrities fall under the newsworthy exception. Try it with the average guy on the street and see what happens. (Hint: Put some money away for legal fees. Lots of money.)
According to Bert Krage, he summarizes what you can and cannot photograph. People in public have very little privacy rights, unless they move to a secluded area such as a bathroom. Another website talks it being ok as long as it isn't being used for commercial purposes. I even found a site where they explicitly say you can take pictures on the New York City subway.
For example, say I was taking pictures at Disneyworld. I do not have to get permission of every single person that might be in the picture, as long as I'm not doing it for commercial gain. It would be nearly impossible to take pictures if you had to get permission from everyone that might be in the picture.
There is no place in the United States where it is legal to publish, in a public forum of any kind, any photo, nude or otherwise, of anyone, without their permission (with the exception of stuff that's "newsworthy"). It's called a "model release," and if you don't have one, you take your financial future in your hands if you publish a photo.
If you are in public, and I take your picture, I can do whatever I want with it. How do you think all those paparazzi's make their money?
If someone could either correct me or find the article I remember reading it in, but didn't Golden Tee become the #1 arcade game of all time (in units sold) like last year?
So, for my birthday (in 1982), one present was a Pacman Atari 2600 cartridge, another was Buckner & Garcia's music CD of video game songs, another was a Pacman t-shirt, etc.
Since CDs weren't released until 1983, don't you mean the Pac-Man Fever LP?:-) That was the first album I ever purchased. I still have it and play it every once in a while. I bought the CD re-release, but it doesn't have the same "spirit" as the original LP.
Wouldn't it just be simpler to take a pictures of the Odyssey spacecraft on Earth before the launch? It seems kinda wasteful to wait and do it 90 million miles away...
BASIC OS + BASIC OFFICE SUITE $450
I'm sure schools would purchase more than those two pieces of software alone, which pushes the software cost even higher.
Suppose schools get 50% discount, that's still $225.
American prices: Office Standard is around $55-$56 and XP is about the same price.
Computers belong in labs and specialized situations in schools (we had a pretty successful mac lab for a media production class at my high school, for instance), and rarely anywhere else. If it makes sense to use a computer for a lesson (typing up a paper, a research day, etc), the teacher can sign up for the lab (that is easily maintained, and can often be staffed by students).
There was a study done in West Virginia on computers in a lab setting versus computers in the classroom. When the computers were in the classroom, students used the computers more and scored higher on tests. The problems with labs is that all the teachers are competing for a limited resource, so they can't use it as well. When the computers are in the classroom, students are more apt to use them, especially for quick research. Teachers can set them up as a center for small groups of students to work while the teacher works with other small groups.
Well, I can happily report that my experience has been a happy one! After backing up/Users,/Documents and/Applications/apps (where I put any applications *I* install) - yes, I'm a paranoid bugger - I did a boot->nuke->install of Tiger last night onto my PowerBook G4
If you are the only one using the applications, you can make an Applications folder in your home directory. The icon will change to the Applications icon. This is where I put apps for me (and with networked home directories these apps follow me).
Quartz 2D hardware acceleration (no idea where this "Quartz 2D Extreme" name came from) only applies to programs that actually use Quartz. Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are all QuickDraw applications. They would receive no performance boost from hardware-accelerated Quartz 2D.
Everything you wanted to know about Quartz 2D Extreme from Ars Technica. Basically, Apple is dropping Quickdraw, and in Tiger they made that very compelling by making Quartz 2D Extreme very fast, even in software only mode.
How do you figure that? The opening title clearly says "StarTrek: Enterprise"
The first two seasons the show was called simply "Enterprise". The reasoning was that they wanted to expand their audience beyond Star Trek. When that wasn't working, they added Star Trek to the title.
Laporte and Ziff Davis started their TV venture in 1995 with "TheSite" on MSNBC. Awesome hour long daily show hosted by Soledad O'Brian and a bunch of over very talented folks. MSNBC canceled the show during a big programming change in 1997. I really miss that show.
Wasn't CNet (the TV show) on around this time? I think I was watching it on USA. It had Solidad O'Brien and some other guy.
By the way, the queen wasn't Voyager's creation, she first appeared in a StarTrek movie (Generations? Never been much of a ST:movie fan). In fact, if you watch the extras from season 5, you discover that the actress who played the borg queen was in fact a different actress who had previously played the queen in the movie.
The did get Alice Krige (the actress who played the borg queen in Star Trek: First Contact) to play the borg queen in season 7.
Coins are more expensive to make (both in material and actual money), are bulkier (this more difficult/expensive to ship) and heavy. So no, paper currency isn't likely to go anywhere.
True, but a coin will last 25-30 years versus 18 months for a bill. I wish I could remember the figure for how much the government would save if they would stop printing the dollar and just use the dollar coin.
I started digging around for the games, and found Sonic Invaders. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try it until I get home, but I was a little surprised about the requirements:
P4, 512MB
Direct X
Demo is 36MB!
Ok, the sounds might make it larger than it would seem, but 36MB and requires a P4? What's next? 64MB of video RAM?
This was in the paper a couple of days ago. The lawmakers realized that the wording could apply to individuals selling on Ebay, and are going to amend the law to fix this problem. The Internet provisions in the bill are supposed to pertain to Internet auction houses, not individuals. More info here.
In the books, well before they showed up on screen, Kirk was given a pair of glasses by McCoy (later they show up in Star Trek IV as a pawned item that loops through time).
We actually see McCoy give Kirk the glasses in the beginning of Star Trek II. Kirk was allergic to the medication to treat his condition. He uses them in the first battle against Kahn to read a display.
if you find a website with that info let me know - I know for a fact that USB 1.1 is NOT fast enough to boot using A CDROM or hard drive.
I know I've booted some slot-loading iMacs from an external USB cd-rw drive when the internal drive was broken. That was with OS 9. It looks like you can't boot OS X from any USB device.

Complaining about celebrity voices in animated films, Billy West believes that celebrity voices are here to stay, even though they don't guarantee box office success. Here's an interview with him where he elaborates on this phenomenon.
This article brings up only 50,000 units sold.

Yea, it's someone looking at making a quick buck. It was registered the day after the big podcast article was in USA Today.
Could it have something do with that the drives are FAT formatted? I wonder if it would be different if they reformatted them HFS+?

What are the pitfalls for manufacturers to adopt USB as a universal charging device?
Take your pick.
Separate layout from content, so those devices that can't use the CSS can still display the content?
Put IPCop on the aging machine and the set up priorities for different traffic.

Or Apple will just require a .Mac subscription to get the program guide data.

And an Apple knowledgebase article on the subject.
