Why not both? After Effects will do what Burn does but very slowly. Burn will do what After Effects does really fast but very, very expensive. Combine these new hardware accelerators with some cleaver code and you get all that for a fraction of the cost.

Well... I AM the old fart. Funny that there is no coments about the radio. How often do radio stations broadcast full albums in sequence?
It's too late. By the time I can "parse" the freaking email, I already received it. The server already spent time with it, it already consumed bendwidth, it already filled my logs. I don't want spam anywhere near my router. All these filtering tools suck in the sense you have to receive the whole shebang before deciding it is SPAM. Nothing short of public castration will satisfy the problem.
Unless, of course, if you have bought every penis enlargement pill that was offered through your emails, you may be able to reach all the way to India.
When will Microsoft learn they just are not capable of producing a product with popular appeal? Their notion of fun is dorky and accountant style. They should stick to what they do well and leave the "creative" to those who actually know what hey are doing. It always amuses me how Microsoft is always running after Apple and others trying to mimic something "cool" or "creative" and turning it into some boring, beige crap only accountants would consider hip. It's a mega corporation bent on the notion they can make pretty Crown Victorias because the Mini Cooper is a success.
languages don't make a programmer any more than brushes make a painter.
Interesting analogy. Going further, the difference between a fine detailed brush and a 8" wide brush. The former is slower to cover an area but rich in detail. The other is fast to cover but with no detail.
Unless you use a.NET Hammer (R). It must be used through this ingenious slotted track (58lbs for simple nails, 378lb for server nails) that has sensors that can determine if what is to be hit is a nail or someone's head. The only draw back is that it only works with nails made by Microsoft, it consumes 1G Watts, and only hits 10 nails/hour (unless you buy the unlimited nail version which can do 100 nails/hour depending on weather conditions). By the way, those patent free hammers out there are only used by the fringe, leftist trouble makers.
Do you remember the Flinstones? Their dish washer? You would open it up and inside there would be this weird little critter washing the dishes. Now that Windows' source has been leaked, the entire world will find out that is nothing more than a leprechaun churning out applications.
Well... by now this became mostly a private dialogue as we've scrolled past slashdot's attention span. Your skepticism is well founded given the surroundings and the level of the news but I am at a loss on how to expand over this. You know I cannot name names and I can't think of a way to tell you this is true. No, I was working for a somewhat competitor and come to think of it, even if I was working for discreet, I wouldn't say that here, would I? All I can say is that time will tell. It's a sad time seeing Yost's work being driven to the ground like that. All due to the "not made here" syndrome, something apparently common from the folks in Quebec.
Buzzz.... wrong. The entire team. Out the door. This is from serious sources (I was laid off a short while back as well and I've been bumping into them here and there). max no more. First combustion, then cleaner, now max. Put a new team in its place? Now... does that make any sense? Or is it just what they want you to know?
First of all, 3d studio max is dead. Discreet laid off the entire team last week. It took a while but the Canadians finally got rid of whatever was left of the American portion of Discreet (what they inherited from Autodesk's multimedia division when they were aquired by Autodesk).
Second, it is utterly absurd the notion of Apple being interested in max given that it would be pretty close to impossible to port. The fact Autodesk is bigger (or not) is of little relevance. In one swoop, they discarded the entire team (and the product with it) last week.
I only tend to think this is highly coincidental that now Alias makes this announcement. This may be the chance they have to turn around and regain the market share lost to 3ds max.
That's usually the case for those who can't adapt. There may be an argument to be made there but either way, if you keep having 10 children and all or most of them survive (because of better infrastructure and so on) things begin to get a little unbalanced to say the least. Like that, there are many many reasons that cause this decline. Invariably it relates to slow, or the lack all together of adaptability. This is not peculiar to screwed up third world countries. Just take a look at "First World" places such as France.
Well... if it's worth anything, I was laid off last week after almost 10 years working for this one company (outsourcing was the reason). I called a few people here and there and two hours later I had an offer. These have not stopped ever since. One company alone (in the Silicon Valley) was filling over 50 software engineering positions). Something is definitelly going on.
There is this poster at thinkgeek.com that reminds me a lot about those folks here. This may give you a clue...
Don't waste your time. This has nothing to do with logic. Rather, an emotional response in the same way the French are anal about creating their own words for things the rest of the planet has a common word for. It amazes me one can call him/herself a geek when it is demonstrated clearly here how anal retentive, emotional backass this all is. I've been watching these same arguments since the 70's and it hasn't changed one bit. People just don't want to change. Change is scary and uncomfortable.
There may be a point in there. Not that I would exonerate Mr. Bill, heck just the thought of it gives goose bumps... but... if you actually believe in such a bullshit email, wouldn't you be the type that couldn't tell the difference between the URL displayed and the rear end of a African sparrow? If you are the type that would check the URL, you are also the type that would take this email to be what it is and not eat it just like that.
Well... developers? Can you actually process WM9 under Mac OSX? The only tools available for handling that comes from Microsoft and they do not provide versions of it for anything other than Windows. Do you know of a Mac product that handles Windows Media 9? Is Discreet refusing or are their hands tied?
why spend money and time going to mars?
nasa has a plan for a lander on europa complete with a sub-ice probe that's been sitting on the backburner for years.
Because landing on Europa would not galvanize anyone other than the few who actually pay any attention to these things (or who can even understand that Europa is not a country on the other side of the ocean).
True, this is a big political move, but it is not necessarily a bad one. You can't simply look at the price tag and the visible and tangible benefits. A project of this magnitude would turn people's attention into something orders of magnitude better than the crap they spend their time on. Just take a look at the media and broadcast television. America would feel invigorated again and people will feel better about themselves. This in turn will only provide for a better social-economic environment.
Remember that it was the space program that gave the first images of how fragile our own planet is. This sort of program can only produce better science and understanding of our own world. It will also give people a view into science in general and themselves. It will place each individual into the society we live in. The alternative is to continue with the current state of things where the average level of culture and understanding is equivalent to medieval times.
First of all, 8x10 at 300dpi is 7.2MP. Second, the "dpi" is more a function of the output. Using your own benchmark, the idea, as an example, would be a 300dpi 20x24 print. For that you would need a source of at least 43MP. As you say we're not there yet but not that far off.
Just as important as the number of pixels captured is the range of information they each individualy hold. This will give you the "dynamic range".
The reality is that the bulk of consumers are plenty satisfied with the output produced by today's camera. The bottleneck is no longer the capability of the digital camera, rather the complexity of its use. In the professional world, the bulk of sales go to wedding goons and sport/weekend soccer photographers. Their needs are also well satisfied by today's output. For them it is important how fast they can shoot and how fast can they turn around with a good print. If you see what Nikon is offering at the high end, it has more to do with the speed of shooting than how large can you print.
The type of prints produced by Adams and many like him are unlikely to be satisfied by digital capture in the near future but just because they are a small minority of those buying the equipment. It is not because the technology doesn't exist.
I'm happily shooting film for the time being. My current digital "camera" is the best scanner I could find. Until I can get straight from the camera what I can get from my film/scanner combination I will stick with film.

Now replace detail with speed and eficiency.
Actually no. What they found was traces of SCO code on Martian soil. They are now wondering about the license fees.
You're mistaken about your errors... Or should that be "your mistaken about you're errors"? Or better yet, who cares?

I take it as "S" stands for "Suck". I leave the rest to your imagination...Don't waste your time. This has nothing to do with logic.

No. He was talking about his belly, which no matter how much duck tape he uses, it keeps drooping down.
