i heard a while back that you could appeal to some department of government and provide them with suggestions for exceptions to the DMCA. it would seem to me that this is clearly something that should be exempt because it might just limit scientific advancement. and isn't that what copywrites and patents are for anyway? aren't they
infotainment is one thing, but advertisments disguised as columns that spout off this much biased retoric can discredit a newspaper. the nytimes is a quality read and i often reference it as a source. i would hate to lose the remaining respect i have for them.
most computers can only display 24 bit color which is 8 bit per channel (256 different reds,greens,blues = 16.7 million). some graphics applications can compute 12 or 16 bit/channel internally but still display 8 bit. these digital projection systems may go as high as 10 or 12bit/channel but, this is a far cry from film's range which can be compared to a 16-20bit color range in computer terms. displaying movies digitally only helps the movie companies who would rather not pay thousands of dollars per theater per copy of the film. digital copies are far cheaper to produce once the systems are set up. also these systems are paid for by the theaters. the movie companies are the only group profitting from digital projection. anyone who thinks digital is a better picture is fooling themselves.
those numbers aren't exactly staggering. this isn't a major issue like obesity or cancer. thats what is killing people. perhaps we should turn our attention to these things instead of wondering who is going to win the roller coaster death lottery.
p.s. at least if you die on a rollercoaster you died having fun.
i just watched this review in my office on cnbc and i felt this was very shortsighted. this guy came at this thing as though he were an average consumer. granted there are idiots out there that are going to buy the most high end pda with out a use for it. but with 500$ price tag one should realize that this was not designed for general calander use. this is a piece of equipment that can be utilized to do very specific tasks. the guy who reviewed it didn't even bother to call tech support. i think its obvious that it wasn't meant to be used simply as a calander, and due to the high price i dont think it was meant to be used by the general pda user.

they photoshoped the heads of wiesels onto the bodies of the french and german government. photoshop has no place in news gathering.

its not that hard to imagine, because at the tail end of the nintendo legacy turbo graphix 16 had games that fit on cards
