I should have mentioned that you may need to look at it out of the corner of your eye to see it flashing. If you stare at it, it appears to be white light.
Scanning something could come out black if tghe object specifically absorbed the exact red green and blue wavelengths produced by low end modern scanners (If you look at them, you can see the scanning head alternating between the colours).
This wouldn't affect our vision of the object, provided that our eyes are attuned to slightly different freqencies.
I Live in Europe's biggest cinema-going city (It's not a capital city though). More screens per head etc. Largest european screens. Lots of stats like that. Very liberal here. You can even wander in with sweets (candy) that you bought from another shop, and no-one says anything. But when I saw that huge notice up on the screen, think it was an FBI warning, it made my blood boil. I don't need to be told in big red letters that filming the screen is an offense. It's enough to make you want to actively pirate it. I'm there to watch the film, enjoy the event. It would definitely spoil it to be staring through a camcorder the whole time. The worst we have is a couple of heavies on the door to check you actually have a ticket. So perhaps that's why we have ever-increasing attendances, despite ever-worsening films *cough* Matrix 3 *aatchoo*
Why not make all the people so obviously anxious to record things, go out and make endless endless public advice films. "Here is Bob. He thought he'd make a few bucks down at his local cinema...." Could use it as advertising. Each one different. We're in favour of that, aren't we?
This doesn't prevent illegal copies any more than the current RIAA/FBI Screen-of-death does. *Prevention* is having security staff there, monitoring you. Who wants to be strip-searched at the movies. Come on people....
So, how are you supposed to make an interesting film news and reviews show?
If you can only use clips from the trailer you're only advertising. Isn't reporting news with necessary clips part of the fair use things you americans have?
Say for example 'R2D2 wears a dress in the latest starwars films'. How do you back that up if the studio doesn't provide *those* clips? Just curious.

Non-profits need to get the maximum amount of their money into doing what they do : if other solutions are better (Mac/Custom Hardware/Playstation) for their work they should get those. Bear in mind that non-profits may rely on volunteer computer support, who are likely to be less adept at linux or other OSS than Windows. Plus if you force unsuitable things on people they will hate it. If I were you (parent) I would get people to bid for computer roles - EG - Office desktop machine, accounts computer, fileserver, webbrowser. Allocate them virtual credit and tell them they can have 4 machines with XP on p4 3.2GHZ's or they can have 20 linux machines with OOo, webbrowsing etc etc.

For nearly a decade, the company has touted the vision of a single storage system that would break down barriers between applications and serve up stored information quickly and accurately
So they're just kicking themselves that they haven't moved from drive letters to a unix style mount-anywhere style filesystem? If they've wanted that for 10 years, they should have done it in '95

On the contrary my good man.
It would seem the idea is to have the filesystem *so slow* that corrupting it would take a good afternoon to do, thus allowing someone the chance to realise what is happening and reboot their server / pc.
Actually, it's probably just another way to enforce DRM at a low level. Everything Microsoft Does can be interpreted as a sneaky new way to enforce DRM.
He does have a point - just not a legal one. His point was about decency. You might have a right to free speech 24/7, but the decent thing to do is stop now and again and let other people say things. You might have a right to own and drive a car, but it would be considered rude to park it outside someone else's house revving the engine from 9pm to 6am every day. The point is, whatever the legality, it's impolite. If you're happy being rude, there's nothing anyone can do, that doesn't mean there isn't an argument.
I would say "Yay! Interoperability! Gnome and KDE going the same way on something".
Except I can't see how SVG is any faster, unless the X protocol makes vector operations much more efficient than just slapping bitmaps about. *sigh* Well, at least there are more than just 2 linux window manager / desktop environments./me goes back to icewm. Makes my P233 linux box look like a DX4...
Surely this is so that an underlying 'monitor' can control your pc and enforce DRM below the level of the main OS without having a huge performance hit. The ability to run different OS's is nice, but not really the point. Or Maybe intel are just scraping the barrel to come up with something new to combat athlon64 technology.
They want to promote OSS and non-free software equally. Fair enough. The most important thing is open standards, at the end of the day if people want to spend money on something that they can't change that's up to them. I don't see how this will make a difference anyway. People have heard of linux, bsd, apache, mozilla, openoffice and so on. And once the word is out they'll give it a try. And once other people have tried and found success it becomes a viable option. No-body likes policies dictated from the top down: And even in places where they have a windows-only policy you can still find the occasional linux/*bsd box or mac.
The only product of Sun's I know about and they didn't mention it once. If microsoft alledgedly make all their money from MS Office, couldn't Star Office be a huge revenue stream for Sun if it competes favorably for price?
If lots of OSS companies start going bust then starting up again, will that shake investor confidence in the other companies (eg, redhat) even though their business model may be sound?
I'll just use the text-based installer at work. It's always been more reliable, and you can still configure X from it.

So Screw the mac users, screw the linux users. To go to university you need a PC with Windows.
What kind of university doesn't provide labs so that students can access the computers for private study? If you ran LTSP or vncserver you could provide people with portable logons whatever machine they were on, and whatever OS. No need to install anythig but a client. Why assume things are all equal, when you can be sure and make them all equal? Lucky person who has the joy of setting up terminal services so that the poor mac users don't have to switch OS's. Royally Sucks just isn't how I'd describe it.
