I'm not sure about the conversion process, but I believe that pretty much any 35mm film can be shown on digital. I know our local Cinemark in Plano, TX, has two DLP screens, which they use full times to show most major movies.
I went to college for three years, then stupidly dropped out. I was very good with computers by then, and I survived for three years doing "independent consulting".
However, I was adviced to go back and finish school, which I eventually did. I have now been employed as an engineer for almost three years.
However, the moral of this story is this: While I was job hunting - both before and after my degree - and the recruiter gave me the opening to ask questions, one question I always asked was that; Who would you be most likely to hire? A person with good skillsets, but no degree, or a person with limited skillsets, but a degree?
To a man, they all answered versions of this:
The person with a degree, because he's PROVEN he finishes what he starts, and he's willing to pay the price and stick it out for what he wants.
"Microsoft executives said yesterday that they believed that they would be able to convince Electronic Arts that the Xbox online service would not constitute a threat to the customer base of Electronic Arts."
This sounds like the old "We'll make them an offer they can't refuse" from the 'Godfather' movies.
While going through college, one of my classmates had a friend who was a sport reporter for a major wire news service, and he (the reporter) had to write the news as it was happening from TWO different perspectives, and the one that got used would depend on which team won.
It's a common practice in sport websites that provide live coverage, like the one I frequent most, Sportsline.com that the lead story is often written and rewritten during the course of a live game, depending on how it progresses. That's sometimes the price you have for near-real-time news.
True... and I think for that reason, Weekly news magazines are the most realiable, since even newspapers have to deal with a daily headline, and often have to go to press with an incomplete story.
And, like you said, you can't change the magazine once it's out in print.
I think that this figure, as most other figures for proposed legislation, are woefully under-estimated, just to give it a chance to pass. Once it's approved, well, Budget overruns, here we come!
He gets, what he calls "a very nice letter", which -notice- does NOT ask him to boycott anyone or anything, does not say anyone's going to try and force anyone to do anything, he's not going to even try and INFLUENCE anyone to do anything.
He just informs he's going to boycott someone's writing because he doesn't agree with him.
"This is a sociological problem and we have got to work it out," adds Galuten. "I find it incredibly ironic that some people will spend an extra $1,000 on their hard drives just so they can store more music, but they won't pay for the music."
this just shows how out of touch these people are.
1. I didn't pay $1,000 for a hard drive, I paid $200.
2. I did it because the Hard Drive is a good deal. Selling us shitty music at $19.99 is not.
"Fortunately the helpful graph in the article compares the complexity of IRS tax forms with Brilliant's terms of use... guess which one is harder to read?"
Having done both more that once, I still hold that the Financial Aid Application (FAFSA: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/preappwk.htm) is harder than the IRS OR the Not-so-Brilliant one. Here's a quote:
If your parents have divorced or separated, answer the questions about the parent you lived with more during the past 12 months. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, give answers the parent who provided more financial support during the last 12 months, or during the most recent year that you actually were supported by a parent. (You will be providing information about one person.) If this parent has remarried as of today, answer the questions on the rest of this form about that parent and the person whom your parent married. (You will be providing information about two people.)
oops... screwed up the previous post. But what I'm trying to say is, isn't this what the whole punitive phase of the Micro$oft trial is about? Getting M$ to UN-Bundle its middleware?

Hey, I love free software as much as the next guy (probably more, actually), but there's a lot of stuff there that I don't particularly like, starting with Realplayer.
granted, there might be an option to select what to install, but that was not noted on the review.
Still, overall, it looks very promising. I just might give it a try.
Overstated, because, even with 4 USB 1.1 ports, when you take out the PS/2 ports, then your mouse and keyboard will inevitably go into one of those, bringing the number down to 2.

LOL.
Well, I just bought a new HD, and I think I see a Linux boot in my future.... running Mozilla, of course.
First open source stuff I've used. I'm running it at home on XP and at work on NT4. Absolutely LOVE the tabs.
I think I finally found what will replace my beloved Netscape 4.7 as my browser of choice.
You mean Maxivision?

don't the participating countries (US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK,) sound suspiciously like the prime Echelon members?

From the NYT Article:
"Microsoft executives said yesterday that they believed that they would be able to convince Electronic Arts that the Xbox online service would not constitute a threat to the customer base of Electronic Arts."
This sounds like the old "We'll make them an offer they can't refuse" from the 'Godfather' movies.
"We used duct tape to fix the photoflash lamp on the video port of a Wentworth Labs MP-901 manual probing station," they wrote in their paper.
No matter how high tech, there's no experiment that can't be improved with duct tape
yeah, but at least it was the SAME Old news that it was yesterday!

Kids(I'm looking at you, HP), kids(I'm looking at you, Compaq), didn't we learn anything from the AOL/Time Warner Fiasco?
I guess not.
Let's see how they're doing in a year's time.
Time playing Freespace 2 was NEVER wasted.
Everybody who thinks that people who THROW AWAY UNIX BOXEN should be banned from posting on slashdot, raise their hands.
"Me too!"
Oh, sorry.
Thought I was in USENET.

That's all.
And that leads to this rant by Mr. Flint?
Just who needs to grow up here anyway?
Because if the original link to Nando net goes down, readers can read the Yahoo story, which is pretty much the same verbatim from AP.
Here's the Yahoo link
