  1. Re:Top 10 Future Inventions on World's First Encyclopedia of Future Inventions · · Score: 1
    Number 10: It may not be exactly what you're thinking of but it's dang close.

    Check out the SuperNova (requires the NovaDreamer) (lucidity.com) I've got one of my own, and I'm working on the lucid dream stuff right now, it's amazing. I'll be getting the SuperNova package soon, hopefully.

    Anyway, thought you might be interested in that.

  2. Matrix was the next step on Pushing the Envelope For Matrix Reloaded SFX · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They did the matrix it with so little cash flow compared to what they have this time around. So whose to say that it can't be great again, take another step and but another standard in cinematography. I loved Matrix, it was one fo the few films that kept me really intranced with the movie through all of it. I really hope that Reloaded will do the same, if not i'll be sad

  3. Pay without on Tim O'Reilly Says Piracy is Progressive Taxation · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ok, i collect. As probably many of you do out there. I buy cd cases that hold 200+ cd's whenever i find them at a reasonable price and i have more than a few completely filled. Ok, i know, a lot. I get the point. But here is another.
    Most of the divx movies i enjoyed i purchased on DVD
    I NEVER bought music when i was young, i'd listen to the radio, or tape it from a cd. Now that i download MP3s i have a small collection of music i love, cd's where i enjoy the whole cd. As the point has been made many times i have found music i'd never heard of nor listened to that i buy.
    Also i am an anime fan. I'm not an extremist of any sort, i watch certain animes when i feel like it. I usually download them first (in divx format on a filesharing network) and then watch them. As many anime viewers know (as i'm sure many of you are) it's quite difficult to find a variety of anime at your local blockbuster. I dont live in a huge city or even know anyone that likes anime where i live. I can't borrow what someone else has to view it. Once i have previewed the anime i often (in most cases) will buy it. I've spent more moeny buying DVD's because i was able to watch them than i have or ever thought i would spend.
    It's understandable that people think p2p is only used to pirate music and videos and such. It is, but then it does lead to more sales. Now, i may purchase a lot but i do have much more that i dont own personally. I also burn compilation cd's for my brother and some of his friends, mostly just singles of stuff that they have, but also mp3s i've downloaded on the net. Songs they can't get as singles.
    It's a double edged sword, and though more people make money because their band is heard at the same time more popular groups loose some of their profits. Personally i wouldnt have bought any of the things i have purchased without pre-viewing it somewhere.
    I would be willing to pay for a good file sharing service, nothing that just 'rivals' KazaA, i need something that's worth paying for. Napster was the begining, and quite good and if it was still working would be my favorite for music.
    The question is, if it was out there, a good filesharing service, something completely legit that offered service for a reasonable fee would you use it. Would you? I would.
