People are used to this camera artifacts, and think something is wrong if they are missing.
Maya (http://www.aliaswavefront.com) for example not only offers lens flares but field of view (so the backgroung and foreground are blury, and only the mid-ground is in focus - or whatever you want).
Alias also has some code to add or remove the distortion from panavision cameras (camera used by movie companies).
If you want to do a 3D live action game then do NOT use java. It is too slow. My definition of "too slow" - anything that isn't the fastest possible.
If you want to do something else, then ignore me.
Also for 3D games you need a good 3D package. See if your university has Maya (www.alias.com) and the PS2 export stuff (or bug your administration AW is very generous towards univeristies). 3d Max is cheaper if you have to buy it, but if you are not paying Maya is better.
The ecomony has nothing to do with it. Many (most?) managers fire good, even vital, employees, "on principle" rather than even considering the "my way" part.
It is sad, because most companies also have a principle of considering what an employee says, and if it gets to "my way or the highway" they probably haven't followed it. They will however follow "fire anyone who says "my way or the highway".
Life sucks, but there is hope...
From buddy's inital posting, he clearly is not happy with what he being asked to do, and at the same time feels management has imposed a harse wall between themselves and their employees.
Fire your employer - start working on getting out today. Once you have a firm job offer in hand, then you can present to your current employer...
"The highway or my way".
If your employer sucks - fire them.
>You make some computers in canade, ship'm to the US, and get arrested as soon as you set foot on US soil??
The bill covers importing them into the US. Exporting them for Canada probably would just result in harrisment, unless Canada co-operated.
But how about Canada or Mexico as an "onshore" data haven. If your company has inductrial secrets the US gov't might want, would you like to forced to using an NSA approved crypt?
Why not stay inside the trade zone and outside the data zone? Of cource Canada got rather wimpy about stading up to the US these days,and Mexico won't, so it will probably go North America wide - what about Argentina - NAFTA grows.

Supposed to be that 10 pins are used differently, and some external timing is different.
Based on this using it in older motherboard should never work. If it does, that is very odd.

I can only conclude self-delusion and yes-men. This is the Pontiac Aztec of sw licenses.
Can management with such loose a grip on reality run sucessfully run a company?

Interesting timing.
