It'll take this "cluster of brains" 2 years to develop an EULA for their results. It'll be so hard to understand, that only 2 people (and all lab mice) can read and understand it.
Well, this one didn't work for me either.. Still wants to connect to Apple for some bizarre reason, propably to take over my PC and turn it into Apple.
Luckily my offices firewall prevents this and therefore I'm not viewing this trailer.
As soon as someone converts the trailer into some proper format (I'll propably look into it when I get home), please post a link:)
That online installer totally fucked up my IE. After reboot I thought I'd post this link for the standalone player to those, who have been smart enough NOT to install this piece of crap before.

Can't understand why they use quicktime for the trailer.. Mpeg or Divx would have been a lot better choices.
Propably not. I don't think that ISP's will get all excited about increased uploading. They'll just find out ways to block those things, just like they do with p2p software.
"People would automatically pick up trash, report suspicious behavior, finger dishonest colleagues or employers, and generally apply millions of little improvements to the status quo."
I'd be thrilled if someone was here at the office to point out all my mistakes.
I sure hope that australian offices move to Linux too when your students graduate.. Otherwise they'll be A BIT confused when they run across with another operating system (windows).
Goddammit with you guys! Don't you have any better things to do than to figure out ways to block my warez-progz? Like, get a life or something.
Anyway, looks like our network has been slowed down for p2p-software ports. Really sucks. If I ever meet the guy who did this, I'm propapbly gonna punch him.
"Meet women off the internet because you don't want to go to bars, or anywhere else for that matter?"
Ofcouz' ! Nowhere it's easier to meet women than in the net. Although those women are quite picky, since they got a lot from which to choose from.
Also you should "date" only trough IRC, EMail, ICQ, whatever for few years, then get married and move together. This way you have to go outside your house even less!
Doesn't future sound like bliss.. No wait! This is how I live NOW! I'm living my dream! Hallelujah!
Yes, NASA patents sci-fi. Does it also read in NASAs sci-fi EULA that no free (no tax incomes for NASA) products may not use any space related material ?
Actually, I did use it til divx5. After installing divx5 all my video looked like it had 256 colors!
But : Radlight is still the best videoplayer I've found. It starts up fast, has nice looking skins (ofcourse 99% of SDotters only use console, but still;), subtitle support etc.
Generally, I really like the software!
Too bad it's been ruined like this.
btw at the moment I'm using WMP... Which is spyware too.
I must be very important person 'cause everyone wants to spy me!
"If I own a network and I rent out a connection, you do not have any rights as far as what you can do with are concerned that are not listed in the TOS."
Well, lets say you've lived in your apartment for few years. Then your landlord tells you that he doesn't make enough money.
So he changes you contract (in your contract it says ofcourse that landlord has the right to do any kind of changes as he likes) so that you can live in your apartment for only 15 days a month.
How would that sound like?
ISPs are luring customers with all kind of things. But they also keep that "right to change all contracts" thing there, so that when they have enough customers they start RIPPING THEM OFF by changing contract.
What the hell, plugin for Photoshop costs 79$ ?! Does this mean that there'll never be FREE jpeg2000 encoder? That would kill jpeg2000 before it even gets started. I would never pay that much for image compressor, no matter how good it is.
(Sorry about the long post. Just had a lot of thoughs going in my head about the subject.)
"I can think of many a time my little sister would pull a disapearing act and be gone for hours. Off with some new friend. This was at an age when she had no business being off alone, much less after dark."
And what would this age be? 10? 14? 18? Before she gets married? (Last one would propably be the opinion of every father in the world, especially if the device reports when a man gets closer than 3 feet to his little daughter;-)
I'm not so worried about the government watching me, as I am of what parents might do to their kids. Yes, device like that WOULD prevent kidnappings and such evil things that happen to children. But at what cost? Generation of children, that are 100% of the time under their parents' eyes? Seriously, how many of you think that a child would get trough that without getting mentally damaged?
Device like that would save lives and make life better for everyone, IF USED PROPERLY. One thing is, that parents themselves SHOULD NOT have the possibility to trace their children. Only police (or some other institute like that), when it is certain that the child really is missing. And not just hanging out with friends that his/hers parents don't like quite so much.
But then again, there should be 100% trust between this tracing-able organization and people (especially those who are spooky.. Although those guys can never be quite satisfied;). System that cannot be used for wrong purposes (and again, who is to decide those purposes?).
I quess that most of the people writing comments here, have been "good" children. No doing what your parents tell you not to do, and behaving nicely even on your own. No rebellion, no drug use, no alcohol until 18 and so on. You don't understand what goes on in a mind of a child, who thinks that his/hers parents are trying to control his/hers (goddammit english sucks, why can't you have one word for human person, instead of words for both genders?!?!;) life 24/7.
A good friend of mine is a so called "bad" child. She started smoking about 11, cannabis and alcohol at 12, amfetamin, heroin and such at the age of 13-14.
If someone (parents, childcare, me) tries to control her life, she freaks out. If her parents had had a device so that they could have tracked her down allways, she would propably have killed herself.

Matrix II teaser in divx5.0
This is not official release of this teaser. Just something I made 'cause I have no life.
Get it here

Anybody has a link where I could see what this thing looks like? Have they really put it all in somekinda joystick?
At the end of the month, I'd do it for food! (But that's because I've spended all my money in beer)

"... she'd gone to grad school (Engineering, I think)... " Yep, propably programming. Don't know any nondepressed or sane programmer. ;-)
And remember not to skip those trailers with your Tivo or similiar device ! That too would be stealing from the movie company.

I think it would be more sensible just to replace MPEG4 keyframe compression to jpeg2000?
