Not in landfill it doesn't. Learn some basic science. If you go to a dump, you can find 50 year old newspapers and phone books that look better preserved than they would in a museum.
Get off my planet, you pathetic waste of oxygen.
At least in the modern usage, a "psychologist" doesn't have a degree in medicine at all. a "psychiatrist" does.
Other than that, I agree, Freud should not be on a list of scientists.
Then again, Tycho Brahe took Copernicus' heliocentric model and tried to revert us back to a geocentric model to appease the church, so I don't think he deserves the title either.
More crap to stuff in landfills? Why is it that every time there's a breakthrough, people like you just think of ways to make more garbage out of it?
And as the first reply says, you should be recycling it. It's telling that you said throw it away. Go home and rethink your life and stop ruining it for the rest of us.
You *never* have access to the unencrypted bytes, that what this technology is all about. The bytes are encrypted, and you never get to see the decoded bytes, only the result of running them.
The Audio or Video is a simple playback of the same thing every time. The software is something that actually runs on the computer. If you want to "pirate" video of your gameplay sessions, go right ahead, a TPM chip won't stop you.
That's why I didn't replace my iMac for a long, long time after the camera version came out, and then I put a sticker over the camera. Yeah I know it's paranoid but I don't care.
I'm also not planning on upgrading my 2004 vintage powerbook any time soon, partly because I like it sans camera.
If it's easy enough to google for, anyone can find it as easily as a noob who would be a valid forum user.
It would also be a major impediment for legitimate users, they would suffer much more than cheap labour with access to google.
All they need to do is offer free porn to people who solve the captchas and embed the captcha in their site. It doesn't matter how sophisticated the test is or hard it is for a machine to do it, they all have that fatal flaw.
Then there's also the option of paying Warcraft gold farmers to solve captchas and take a break from the game.
Is how long until they start using the cameras they want to put in settop boxes to take pictures of people downloading music through P2P and sell the pictures to the RIAA.
TV just isn't worth the garbage comcast expect people to put up with though. It's just not an essential service. I watch most of my "TV" on netflix rentals and the only drawback is having to wait until it comes out on DVD.
I've been around long enough to remember him saying 'We believe OS/2 will be the platform for the '90s" Yet I don't ever remember people liking him or MS the way they like Apple and Google.
Seriously though, I do a lot of PIC assembly programming. Something like Arduino is fun to play with, but for anything non-trivial in an embedded system, it has to be assembly.
The two camps are victims of their own earlier success with DVD. The standard DVDs offered a quantum leap in quality from the picture and sound of VHS videotape
From Wikipedia: In physics, a quantum leap or quantum jump is a change of an electron from one energy state to another within an atom.
So a quantum leap is a very, very tiny change, usually smaller than a nanometer. If the writer is stupid enough to think a sub-nanometer change means something big, why would one take anything he has to say seriously?
But what if power could be delivered over optical fiber instead of copper wire, without fear of short circuits and sparks?
You're stilling bringing as much power into the fuel tank. High-power beams of light aren't any safer, a laser can cut inch thick steel.
At least electricity is very well understood, we know how to insulate the wire, we know how much voltage will spark in a given medium, and the low voltage for sensors is very safe.
High energy lightbeams are not at all well understood. Will the fiber heat up? What about light leakage, will that cause an explosion? What if the fragile fiber breaks while the beam is on?

1. Rent movie for less $$ than this landfill disc at local store (not blockbuster). 2. Rip it to harddrive. 3. PROFIT!
Granted, if you want to fly 757s across the ocean, you'll have to aim a bit lower, but same applies
Actually, for this goal, the start is pretty much "join the air force". Most commercial jet pilots were air force pilots.
So who's the idiot who modded this redundant considering I posted it within a minute of the first person who posted a similar reply.
I would have guessed 200 Layer recording medium.

Might want to think hard about what's on your laptop if you're going to be passing through a US international airport.
Might want to think hard about making a trip to the states even if you don't have anything untoward on your laptop.
Although I can imagine some teenager asking that question. The Atari VCS/2600 is older than many people alive today (almost 31 years).
:P
Thank you so much for making me feel old
I had one of these when I was a kid (actually a colecovision with the Atari 2600 adapter.)
I'm going to go play "Adventure" now.

Since they already render the movies in a 3D world, I've always wondered why they don't make 3D versions of everything.
At least because of this, it should be little trouble (and very profitable) for them to go back and re-render their library in 3D.

...is why Comcast actually still has anyone subscribing

How else do you describe complimenting the OLPC's 7.5" screen while calling the 7" screen on the others cramped?
I write my compilers in Bison

Wouldn't they be illegal in Canada too then? Maybe under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
