I tend to buy cheaper impulse DVDs as well, but more importantly, DVDs of films that cannot be had through other means, i.e. the good but obscure ones.
The only differences are that the colour elements would be "in series".... They would need to vary between transparent and cyan (or magenta or yellow) rather than transparent and black. I don't think they'd need to be in series. An RGB monitor only seems to display a range of colours because the pixels are too close together to discern at normal viewing distance. The same would seem to apply no matter what the colours are.
You're right, however, about the transparent-colour rather than transparent-black part. I didn't think of that, and it kills the simplicity of the idea. I still think it should be possible though, with some modifications of current technology, to have the light filter to a colour instead of blocking out completely

...and how can you make it produce adequate imagery on cellulose sheets?
If you wanted to create an LCD for the CMYK colour model, you would have to first develop electrode elements that darken to cyan, magenta and yellow instead of the normal grey-black. I'm no chemist, so I have no idea if this is even possible (the fact that no such display exists tells me that no, this is not possible). If you developed these, then you could create a display where the pixels have layers that selectively filter out each of those colours, plus a grey-black one for the "K". That's my point when I posed the question. A TFT works by having a fairly uniform, white backlight, which shines through subpixels that filter the light into RGB, and vary the brightness by various means depending on technology. A black pixel is achieved by completely blocking the light for all subpixels. Instead of RGB, why not CMY, then? An additional layer of non-filtered pixels behind or in front, with each pixel exactly covering the three subpixels of the other layer, would give better contrast as well. Perhaps I should patent this...
Basically it's because people usually don't agree universally on how to do things, and compete for attention. If there were a single OS supposedly good for everything, it would inevitably be forked.
The point being, that scientists are terribly dogmatic, and the more irreligious they are, the more dogmatic they are about their beliefs. A further point being that, while individual scientists may be dogmatic, in the long run of science it's irrelevant since it's an ongoing process of refinement, not a staking out of absolute truthiness.
Because RGB and CMYK are not equivalent. Converting from one to the other is a lossy process, in some cases unacceptably lossy. The final product must be in CMYK, because that's what ends up on paper.
3)... Okay, yeah, that'd be useful. Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but it is indeed a very useful feature.
5) Affects every computer program ever made that uses a mouse. A drag is not a click. If you leave the widget before you release the mouse button, you don't register a click. The solution is to not do that. On the contrary, these toolbar buttons don't have a 'drag' action, so being able to drag-select, as opposed to immediately activating the button regardless of any dragging going on, is a bad design. I humbly note that Photoshop has exactly this behaviour: any click (left or right) over a toolbutton immediately selects that tool, dragging has no effect. (the submenu that opens is a result of holding down the button, not dragging)
Of the color that is printed is indeed different then what they are seeing, then how do they visualize what the printed result will look like? By using software that supports CMYK and a colour calibrated monitor; this gives an approximation. Also, a good printer to test the final output.
That said, I wonder why there are no CMYK TFT monitors? One layer of CMY that sets colour, and a K layer behind that for brightness.
That's the precision of you're talking about, not range. The range in a colour space comes from which specific colours you are mixing. Losing colour when converting from one space to another is a consequence of the spaces not overlapping perfectly, i.e. some colours exist in one space but are completely outside another space (as in: no amount of mixing, bit depth and trickery will ever display that color).
Since printing presses print with CMYK and not RGB, and CMYK is not equivalent to RGB, it makes perfect sense to use the same colour space, and hence it doesn't make sense to adopt a tool that can't do that.
Alas, the last time I tried whistling at 2.4 GHz, the FCC came knocking on my door and told me to stop. That's because unauthorized use of microwave superpowers is strictly prohibited.
Reinstalling packages could help, if you had screwed up something and had no idea what had gone wrong. Wiping out and starting over is then a (crummy) solution.
The one child policy is not absolute prohibition, but rather a family planning tax for every additional child. There are more regulations but basically, if you have the money, you can have more children. Obviously, the poor class won't have a chance, while it might be conceivable for the middle class, making a difference in enforcement right there.

Yes, it's also the reason why korean kimchi is awesome no matter how hot it is. It's the flavour that counts.

No bogus. The total results are printed at the top.
The colour will be different in the absolute sense, but not that much relative to its surroundings.

The difference is probably not that great in practice, however. At least not statistically.
An omnipotent car would bend the laws of physics, and get you there even faster.
An omnipresent car wouldn't do anything: by stepping in the car, you're already there.

Yes, if the monitor is RGB, then they are (sometimes) designing outside of the range of the screen. That's what test prints and colour books are for.

Are you saying they've been actively trying for 40 years? Hardly.
