Actors don't just spend 1.5 hours working with each other they spend months and years learning each other's personalities so that they can interact like they know each other.
Reacting to each other well and modifying your lines and character to match what's going on seperates the real actors... from star trek fans who've watched the movie 100 times all want the facial expression of Boba Fette and have no self image and wierd tension even with their friends and co-stars.
The directors in these movies are usually thinking more about the production than ensuring that the actors really get to know each other.
My idea is for inside the city, at intersections put solar cells in the middle (under thick glass), and have hydrogen injectors for cars at red lights.
When I boot from a live Knoppix CD there is nothing in the GUI that would allow me to install it. It would be lovely if I could check that my hardware is supported and choose something in a GUI that would reboot into the installer.
Is there some fundamental reason this is impossible or am I simply a moron fo not finding the right command?
(I'm sitting next to a windows machine running PXE and the system just rebooted into the installer as I'm typing this).
As far as the numbers being off is concerned the $20 is not incorrect especially if you live in the U.K. or Canada, buying british music is pretty expensive.
Cost of last Aphex Twin albumn purchased (And last albumn purchased for myself ever) $55.
It's not unreasonable for people to have demands to show that the music industry is actually doing something productive.
One of the interesting aspects of Piracy and one which is lost on many of the anti-piracy pundits is that some pirates (few obviously most are just in it for free stuff) feel that they are assisting artists by trying to bring down the **AA.
With Napster we perhaps attacked a bit too hard, there wouldn't be any music industry left, with the current model artists are starting to examine other options and the industry is starting to take those artists seriously (Think Communist trade embargos).
We can have our cake and eat it too and if there really is a drop in music quality and no drop in prices we can go back.
But 10c out of every $20 cd is a lot of wiggle and experimentation room, we'd just like to see artists pushing people to take a look at that 2000% discrepancy.
Interesting, and even more interesting is that gaming mags have pictures describe weapons (for FPS anyway, or cite spell numbers for RPGs) and it's total garbage.
What people want is video (Say 10-15 minutes) of someone playing the game.
Yes it's really irratating to watch someone else play (Go Right you fool!) but it would actually tell you a bit about how to play the game.
FPS's will probably do this first, editors will offer a brief tutorial showing off the game and teaching you how to play well. (bunnyhopping, map design, weapon strengths etc) fitting it into a 10-15 minute vid. and showing what the really good players are doing.
When video game criticism catches up with other mediums we'll know what this industry is all about.
Trying to ban it while expensive is probably the best thing for society.
Most of the freedom loving, american, libertarian crowd would say people should be allowed to ruin their lives but I think that is incorrect.
People should be warned about the dangers of smoking not merely because it will cost us money to keep them alive when their lungs give out but also because they would be USEFUL to society if they were still alive.
The point is that the state makes a large investment in each of it's citizens (The U.S. less than most first world nations but still sizeable) and that investment anticipates a return.
While on occasion you will find that protecting individuals from themselves is throwing good money after bad (-Expression: see also "Never look at what you've invested previously, it doesn't matter") but when you consider the risks of state educated, medicated, transported etc individuals getting deep into debt and then killing themselves destroying the lives of their families the cost of trying to help those people deal with a gambling problem seems insignificant.
Areas such as Europe, South Korea, Japan, and Canada have very low numbers of addicted gamblers largely because of the stance of the state on gambling and the education of it's citizens in simple mathmatics (probability anyone?).
When the state needs more revenue they should raise taxes or tax a luxury, not exploit a vice.

PVR functionality would have won this generation, though Sony's PSX (Real PSX like $2000 machine) didn't sell well it was partially because that device was terribly crippled.
Also you can force your users to connect to the internet at least once a week, great for live or Sony.
After a while landmines become increasingly volitile as the explosive oxidizes.
Pretty soon a subtle nudge will set them off.
I've been to Cambodia, I've seen children SHARING A PAIR OF SHOES.
Banned by the Geneva convention! GREAT Landmines are one of the most horrific things ever.
I don't claim I'm a perfectly moral person, but I would never EVER work on a project involving landmines or any other technology with DIRECT military application.
Why would YOU pay an aide to brief you when the industry execs would do it out of the goodness of their hearts and a desire to help the american people...
He also can't trust the media, fox and cnn have a huge liberal bias!
Corperations are people! With the strength and intelligence of hundreds of normal people! So they should be listened to!
It's difficult to explain how it sucks but it's not hard for people to realize it sucks who haven't actually tried it.
I know Glitter sucks, if you wanted to see it I would recommend against it, this is the same thing.
Examples of why Daikatana sucks, SuperFly is the most irritating character in any game EVER, enemies and weapons boring and uninspired, levels bland ugly and dark. Multiplayer is tainted by a ridiculous sword fight thing, (Also sword stays in the air swinging if you die holding it, distracting everyone). And there is a weapon which seems to just kill random people, like you fire it and random people die, they don't need to be in the same room. You also seem to die a lot using this weapon.
The diffrent time period thing could have been cool if the weapons and settings were entertaining but it was just one ugly uninspired level after another teaming with boring and stupid enemies and weapons without creativity or fun.
Most casual level designers get involved by making DM or tournament levels or levels for team based games.
Obviously these are very diffrent methods of making levels, if DOOM levels were available for any of these activities they would suck, there are poor strategic elements, shoddy weapon placement etc.
However for single player blasting monsters and mindlessly chasing down keycards? Go DOOM!.
(Disclaimer: Massive MASSIVE Q1 DM fanboy, some level design EXP)
I believe such services will likely be subsidized by the CIA, NSA, and DOD...
Good luck with that.
Let's put our paranoia caps on here, they want to stop terrorism which is increadibly diverse in methods and motivations. So they get to the point where they can stop ALL terrorism (Even genius terrorists, remember terrorists are smart commited and organized any hole is as bad as all hole)...
To do this you know you'll eventually need to disrupt encryption, so you start putting hidden code in compilers, and releasing encryption software with backdoors.
Almost impossible to find. Since the people who release "truly secure" software usually try and stay hidden there isn't even a paper trail.
Ironically for computer's to be perfectly secure we need exactly the kind of security we're trying to avoid, total open source so that the aspects that are more difficult to uncover can be examined (compiler etc.)

Is China another word for porn?

Automarkers are the WORST thing in the world.
,'s are in the right place is the worst way to get students interested in computing.
First semester the automarker wouldn't accept unless the output was character perfect!
Took off a mark each attempt too!

I would cite the active communities of Quake, and Quake 3 DM and Tourney Footage as against what you say.
Once you actually know the games inside and out seeing what the best players are thinking and their little tricks is quite entertaining.
I just saw a match in a game I'd never played and it was great fun to watch.
But gamers need the equivalent of "Summer Blockbuster Season" for the younguns who get time off, for... good... behavior.

That's what you suspect, I however am searching the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) for bounty hunting corperations.

Made one mistake, the EE cpus.
Broadcasting we can make faster silicon but we're going to make you pay a leg for it...
Now they're doing what AMD used to do, great performance from their consumer level chips... Not just their Enthusiast level chips.
2400 goog chip 62+ not good chip...
When I heard September I was scared, scared it would be delayed and pushed past Christmas.
The Wii is going to need A TON of advertising money, more than either of the other consoles if it wants to "be all it can be".
Also both Sony and Nintendo have a nasty habit of launching in Japan first...

Ah well, sex sells. Even weird kinky smell sex, just include a "urine smell" and you'll sell to perverts everywhere!
Politician goes to prison for lying THAT will be a milestone.
(About politics, apparently personal stuff is grounds for candal)
He's a Republican so he would retort that those without money should be ignored and not heard anyway.
Hi I'm the North American consumer...
I forgot what I was going to say.
I'm sorry I've played Daikatana and it sucks.

The spam sites wouldn't be a problem if you could detect them simply by looking at the results.
What you get are sites that return their own search results + ads.
These sites are hella weak!
