Definitely agree. An added advantage is that there are many photo backup apps which work great, and often for free. For example Google Photos is great (although kind of scary when you can search within your images without tagging anything). I am not sure what the iPhone options are as I have never owned one, but the camera quality generally seems better (than Samsung anyway) and there are more photo accessories if you are into that. My family photo album is basically Facebook now (great for showing off to grandparents), and backed up to Google Photos.
The analogy expressed in the article isn't procedural versus OOP - which the author completely misses the point over. The analogy is serial versus parallel computing. In the first case each student is dealt with individually in order, in the second case the principal is a despatcher and each student is an independent process. So the analogy does hold. It has nothing to do with objects or not.
Kodak was also fundamental in creating the world's first Digital Imaging system for movie effects, colour management. The Cineon system included film scanners and recorders, the Cineon compositing application and the Cineon file format (10 bit log). Only the file format effectively remains as Kodak abandoned Cineon in the late 90's - just when digital vfx was getting really popular.
Moon had some great CGI in it. The most obvious one is the digital duplication. Gerty is CGI in most shots and there was a lot of enhancement to the miniatures such as matte paintings and digital debris. Seamless CGI which enhances the story is great. When it is used as a substitute for the story is when people complain about it.
Physical effects can look great when used in the correct situations, but saying you are going to make a film only using them is just a cheap gimmick to promote their movie.
If they aren't dumb pipes does that mean the ISP's will pay Google as part of the settlement if someone successfully sues youtube? If they want to play that game it has to work both ways.
It might be nice if, discreetly placed around locations of interest (tourist signs, shop signs), there were some of the 3d barcodes that Android phones use. This would make it much easier for the phone to locate itself, and also give you an id for database lookup.
The film industry has an adminstrative position called Line Producer. They deal with managing team schedules, the project budget, making sure resources are available for the team, booking / chairing meetings, and dealing with paperwork, clients and upper management. This sounds like an equivalent position but without the (less professional sounding in my opinion) buzzword compliant "Scrum Master" moniker.
The actual task of getting the project done falls to a Supervisor (ie a project manager) who deals with technical and creative decisions, assigning tasks to the team, and critiquing work in progress.
A female Line Producer often work very well when dealing with a mainly male team. This could be to do with fewer ego clashes and women generally being more organised (again my personal opinion).
You don't need to be familiar with the names - it is just an identifier. It doesn't matter if people recognise it or not - it's just easier to remember - especially if you are not sitting in front of it when someone asks what your machine is called.Namespace exhaustion just means you aren't being creative enough - just have different themes for different departments or for new batches of workstations. eg you know all the Simpsons characters are the same spec / warranty period.Or have really broad categories - eg space, or mammals, or movies. Using asset numbers only helps IT - it confuses the user.
what would be far more useful is an easy way to do single sign on between applications for a single website.
I know LDAP exists, but it seems pretty complicated, or you can use half broken bridges, but somethign really simple would be incredibly useful. Or is there something I missed.
Our local council streams it's planning meetings over the web. This is very useful if you can't attend in person (and you can do something else in the boring bits).
But you're right - a 3d world is overkill. Static web pages convey this information much better - and most likely already exist in some form.
If they really want to get citizens to be more involved then they should write some applications for facebook etc. and exploit a social network that already exists.
That is a DDR (digital disk recorder), not an editting system at all. It is for sending images down to tape. It looks like this particular system can be used for client playback too.
Editting is still dominated by Macintosh - either Avid or Final Cut Pro.
There is no good editting software for Linux right now - even making quicktimes is a painful process with ffmpeg. Ironically this is what a lot of people want to use Linux for. Most video software for Linux is for geeks to rip their DVD collections.
Just wondering if anyone knows some good libraries for doing this with Python? Or would it be better to use a Java one with Jython? And how would you go about this?
But the dollar dropping means that if you are outside the US you can make a killing on buying from the US. I bet quite a bit of the world will be shopping at US sites this Christmas. I know I have.

Or Python. It also happens to be one of the most commonly used languages in vfx and games.
There is also amazing vfx in this movie. Long cuts and vfx are just tools - both are capable of being abused.

Plus who would volunteer to work with children with all the stories in the news? You'd be automatically labelled as weird.

As they get older you become the taxi driver / audience / financial backer / personal shopper for all the activities they want to do.

The G1 (HTC Dream) and the G2 (HTC Magic) already have very good capacitive touch screens. I think the HTC Hero does too.

Or a magnetic fish tank cleaner (true story - happened to my brother in law).

I noticed that too. Having the PSU directly under a water cooled CPU sounds like asking for trouble too.
This could be seen as (yet another) bad thing in Tcl - as you are forced to write "cuddled". Simon

I was thinking more of a graph of nodes like the article was about. It is a bit confusing that both are graphs. Simon

To be more precise the first thing that pops into my head is Germany. German engineering almost defines efficiency!
