The American Humane Association, an organization that protects animal rights, mistook a computer-generated cow in the movie for a real animal and demanded proof before they would allow the use of their famous disclaimer, "No animals were harmed in the making of this motion picture." After seeing a demonstration at Digital Domain of how the cow was created, the Humane Association added the now-familiar (but then much rarer) "Scenes which may appear to place an animal in jeopardy were simulated."
I disagree. You can see Memento once, then see it again a second time with a whole new understanding of Leonard, and on the DVD you can watch it in linear time if you want. That's three completely different ways of seeing the same story unfold.
I found the script to be very good for Inception. It didn't top Memento for me, but it was cleverly written and edited. I liked the FX, but I didn't feel this was an FX film. I don't see how many people would feel about it either as they weren't that many.
The Wired article is hardly worth mentioning as it focused on the rotating room which has been used since Fred Astaire had danced on the ceiling in Royal Wedding
They explained that they wanted to create a box for $200, but still be able to upgrade. The mobo is AM3 with DDR3 support, so they could skimp on the CPU and RAM for now with the intention to upgrade with recent technology in the future. They didn't mention it, but it seems they wanted to build a box with new parts as oppose to second hand ones.
I've never heard of a fractal filter and googling it didn't bring up any results. And randomizing a single sound to make it sound different doesn't make much sense either as impact sounds are linear. Maybe you mean granular synthesis, but even then, it will completely change the sound into something very different and probably unrecognizable from the source.
As a post-audio SFX editor/designer, I would LOVE to have a virtual room full of junk to throw around, bang, break, bend, etc. Having convincing sounds is very nice, but even sounds that are not 100% accurate can still be used for very creative purposes. I love the work these guys are doing. This is another video of theirs I saved last year from an article submitted here but didn't make it to the main page:
By the sound of the summary, a vocoder wouldn't be able to do inflection or tonal differences. This sounds like a big text-to-speech machine for the word "coffee."
Good idea and I would like it implemented. But then, there still would be abuses of the practice such as The Beatles "White Album" re-reissue with absolute rarities such as "Paul coughs in the microphone," "George breaks a string," and "Ringo punches John in the groin after John tells him Paul's a better drummer."
I'll wait. I have been waiting since I was in elementary. I've been hearing about electric cars all my life, but I've never seen one on the road except for a few hybrids. The closest thing I've seen is the Zenn, but it only clocks at 40km/h and it isn't street legal in Canada. I kept hearing and seeing ads for this Chevy Volt, but I never seen it in action. And even if a number electric car models do manifest into reality, am I going to be able to afford it? At this rate, I think I'd rather wait for a unicorn.
Maybe Australia only has one big grocery store somewhere in the Outback. Kinda of like what we have in Canada except it's a giant igloo in northern Toronto.

I agree with you, but not everyone can afford the time or resources for a good home theater with calibrated 5.1 audio monitors and cinema display.
This is a sociological theory.

Or get a braille screen and hire blind people.

Mod parent up. I have a feeling he's talking from experience.
I have a single 512mb 4770 and I'm running Borderlands with everything maxed at 1280X960 (4:3 monitor) on an AM2+ mobo with a Phenom II 965 3.5Ghz BE.

But I can't find local bestiality porn! I've tried! It usually ends up being an obese man having intercourse with a stuffed elephant.
Legalize pot and tax that instead please.
This whole "code cracking" smells fishy. Too close to Nostradamus nonsense for me.
I want to Michael Brown! "Get me out of this!"
Vive le Linux libre!
You're both right.
Why focus on fervently opposing religion when there are so many more interesting scientific things to do?

Why would I want to open all my spam in Office?
Then how are all these apps being written for it?
It does more than an TRS-80 and that was a computer, wasn't it?
