it wouldn't take the MPAA more than 30 seconds to start another one and start nabbing people IN THE ACT
If a copyright holder provides a service to make it easy for you to download their content, wouldn't they be implictly condoning it? Thus, it wouldn't be piracy.
It's not illegal to download a file, or swap it amongst people. It's only illegal if you don't have permission to do it..
Copyright wasn't designed originally to limit copying, but provide the right to copy. There is a reason why it was originally only 14 years of restricted use.
The whole point of copyright law was to let people copy things after they were brand new.
Under the original law, the first tv broadcasts and movies would all be public domain now and we could all make our own copies of them. It was designed to make sure that works of art wouldn't lost. Think about it, can you find really old TV shows?
... run Linux. At least I tell them that, and they believe it well enough.
In truth, I run XP with a good firewall most of the time.
The school figures that if you are smart enough to fool them, you are smart enough not to need their help anyways, so they don't bother you too much. Plus, I know people in Computing & Media Services.
"ok so there are legal uses of file sharing software, but those who distribute material that isn't legal haven't got a leg to stand on... and deserve everything that gets thrown at them..."...it's called nullification.
Difficulty. You'd have to put a key on almost every frame to make it look good. It would take far too much time to do this in post.
Resolution/Scaling. It's not as simple as losing the edges. You have to rescale the image. Unless you do this by an integer factor, you're going to get at least some distortion.
With the exception of the Steadicam JR, most Steadicams have a body harness. That makes them much more stable than using you hand.
This is really more similiar to a lower end Glidecam stabilizer (even this is floating).
There are also some rather cheap alternatives out there to make a camcorder smoother.
Granted this is significantly cheaper to make than these products, but from my experience anything that is handheld doesn't work as well as the bodyrigs. Personally, I'd rather just do it by hand alone.
You also might want to check out a relatively cheapjib too.
Three unidentified customers have already signed up for the 2-Gbyte hard drive, the company said. A dozen customers will be showing off products using Cornice's 1.5-Gbyte drive at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.
In my dorm room, my roomate and I each have 6 electrical outlets, a phone jack, and an ethernet port. According to the university, that should be plenty.
But, between the Microfridge, 3 fans, 2 lights, telephone, cell phone charger, vcr, and computer, I find myself using two extensior cords, a powerstrip, and a 1000VA UPS.
My point? You can never have enough outlets, and they are never in the right places. I have to run an extension on my cat3, and a 25 foot cat5. Never mind the fact that my Microfridge is running through a lamp socket.
I'm home for thanksgiving break now, I hope there's not a fire while I'm gone.
From my experience in video editing, natural windows users tend to like Premiere on the Mac, while natural mac users will tend to prefer Final Cut Pro.
So, Adobe really won't lose many sales, imnsho, they will just switch platforms.
I work at a public access tv station, and we're settled on the -R format. That's not to say its the best format, but just about every NLE vendor I've looked at includes a Pioneer A05 DVD-R/-RW as the DVD burner of choice.
That didn't stop our Executive Director from buying a spindal of +R disks for it though.
Are you sure its not a continuation of the choice vs. destiny motiff. My interpretation of the film was that the architect was full of it, and Neo actually will save Zion in Revolutions.
There is also the reverse you know. Us really young programmers (I'm 18) can't find anything at all right now, whereas a few years ago I had enough consulting gigs to take my pick.
Now, if the logic of "younger people cost less" really followed through, you'd think I'd have a job right now. After all, I don't exactly need health insurence as I'm covered under my parents till I graduate college. Plus, I'm willing to work for less than my older, relatively colleagues.

Did anyone else think of a Niagra Mohawk Solaris server named Viagra?

Are ISPs legally common carriers?
I may be wrong, but I thought a court ruled they are not?
Look at it, it looks like a poor render, it must be a fake!
(I joke...)
Feynman also says to walk up to a woman in a bar and ask her if she wants to sleep with you.
Read "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman". Good book.
Cornice says their drives can withstand a 1 meter drop onto concrete. IIRC that's about a yard.
What about a Wifi-enabled PDA to control it all?

"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom ... of the press."
This discusses the issue in at least some cursory depth. And there is more information on a journalistic privledge here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the First Amendment allow journalists to keep their sources, records, notes, interviews, etc. confidential?
Last time I checked we still had a Constitution.

No, but its a common mistake because multiple legos form a collective lego.
MS is in Washington state. Us Yankees are from the North East United States.
I take offense at MS being called Yank. You're a racist.

Sorry guys, the Agents got to this one first.
