Talking with Matrox

Go to www.matroxusers.com, and click on the Video Editing forum. Many people are incredibly disgruntled with the lies and BS that Matrox has fed us for over a year, and many have stated they'll never buy a Matrox card again, myself included.
erm, the ccra doesn't make laws. the dept. of justice doesn't make laws. parliament makes laws. don't be silly. all of the laws are available on the dept. of justice web site, it's a good place to put them. are you saying every law that affects a certain arm of the govt. should be posted on their web site? gimme a break!
hrm, i'm no expert at resume writing but yours could use some work. your objective is weak and too you-centric, it does not emphasize what you could bring to the company, what you could do there, etc. in the hobbies, the "learning" is kinda lame. in your work experience, the "I did this..." and "I did that..." does not sound very professional. Likewise, you mention many times why you moved on, and it often is the company folding. I don't think an employer would find that attractive... "Great... we hire him, and we're next on his list.."
Life isn't worth living in a cage, being supervised and monitored 24/7. Would i want someone to sacrifice my life in order not to be put into that position? Would I do it myself? YES... and it has happened. The world wars are perfect examples of the allies beating down an enemy who seaked to reduce our freedoms and privacy, and now we forget Them - they gave up their lives for our freedom, and now you are so willing to forget the great sacrifice they made.
Yeah we all know LEDs rule. but I want an LED monitor. That'd be awsome. I'm rigging up my brightlite sets to the computer, i'll set up a site once i've got it figured out.
Don't count on Matrox to produce specs or drivers.. Read all about how Matrox completly screwed a vast chunk of its G400/RRG/MARVEL users and Win2k. Check out the Desktop video forums on www.matroxusers.com. Quite a few people on there, myself included, have out right stated that they will never buy a Matrox product again, quite simply because of their horrible driver support.
US, Everywhere - The RIAA has sued the Department of Defence for creating ARPANET, the mother of the Internet, on the basis that it facilitates "copying of mp3 files via HTTP, FTP, EMAIL" and a host of other evil tools that exist merely for the facilitation of piracy. Al Gore was also named in the suite.
Upon learning that the case was summarily dismissed, the RIAA sued the messenger who delivered the news.
IE, if you find yourself in possession of something contraband, doing X would be the equivalent of burning it from a legal point of view.
Uh huh. And let's say you wipe those files off, zeroing them out, and it's impossible to tell if they were on there or not. Consider
1 - student has mp3s shared (bad idea) on network
2 - MPAA sees this and OF COURSE goes to a judge to get a search warrant (hah)
3 - the student feels guilty, and because he is security concious, secure-wipes the files
4 - MPAA/Police show up. Grab his computer (legal)
5 - they discover there are no mp3 files!
So, let's charge the user with what, obstruction of justice? Destruction of evidence? This would be silly, as it would set the precedent - if you download mp3s, you CANNOT delete them because they might, at some further point, be used against you.
In terms of "real life" items - if the user were to have say, an illegal substance, and he "got rid of" that substance before the police showed up - possession is 9/10ths of the law, isn't it. The police would have nothing. But lets say the student "hid" the stuff, say in the toilet. Then, the item is recoverable and the user is in possession, bamn, he can be charged.
Therefore, what judges would hold people to files that were deleted? I don't think any judge would, as long as those files could not easily be recovered.
you can't be serious. first off, these people aren't our neighbors. second, no one is coveting anything. it's not wrong to say if someone is good looking or not.
it's DEFINATELY not porn. wow what a troll, and it gets ranked up to 5. that's pathetic.
current hydrogen producing methods (doing something with methane) are quite a bit more pollutant than old fashioned combustion engines. that's where the NG-CANDU (a bit of a misnomer, since it uses 4 times less heavy water than the old school nuclear reactors) reactor comes in. They can efficiently and GHG free produce hydrogen. Not sure of all the details, but we had a brief presentation on this.
how could this get modded +interesting when it's a troll?
NO HUMAN would go and put their entire life into public eyes unless they were
a) stupid
b) getting the chance to win a million dollars.
I have no complaints with them listening into my phone calls or reading my e-mail
Maybe it sounds cliche if I say this, but honestly, go to a book store or chapters or whatever, and pick up 1984 by George Orwell. READ it. Think about it. See where things CAN go when personal liberties and rights are squashed to nothingness. Then ask yourself, "Do I really want to live in a world like that?"
From their web page:
"A cash reward of $100,000 has been offered to anyone who can send us, by e-mail, conclusive physical evidence of the existence of the moon. This reward remains unclaimed. "
Hmm, if ANYONE can send conclusive PHYSICAL evidence of ANYTHING over email, by golly I'll give them $100,000 myself (Canadian though, so that's bout 2$ USD).
it isn't junk mail. junk mail is unsolicited, ie you had no previous business contact with the company. Even though you said you would rather not receive mail from them, they can still (legally) send you stuff.
Except for a little four-letter word: DMCA. This law, in effect in the largest market for such devices (United States), would kill demand.
Yep just like the law against drugs have killed demand for drugs. As stupid as most people are (except for you, Mr. Moderator:P ), many of 'em know that there are certain things that they should be allowed to do, and they do it. Regardless of some stupid law. Just because it's a law, doesn't mean it's Right.
Reading over many of the comments here, the posters seem to fall in 3 categories. I'll list them in order of their numbers from least to greatest:
1 - those that have an idea of what's going on. They know that only certain stuff will be encrypted and only certain things will be copy controlled, etc. They see this as yet another DVD type Region Encoding thing, except this time going to harddrives. They also realize the incredibly slippery slope that this can and will lead to if enacted. They also realize the technical headache this will cause.
2 - Those that have some idea of what is going on, but think Free Software (our Lord and Saviour, amen!) will prevent this from happening to members of their Flock. "Wrongo!" (ala Grinch). See where DeCSS has gotten y'all? Can you play DVD's on Linux today? Answer is probably not. Free Software won't do it if the Hardware is fubared and it is ILLEGAL to mess around with it.
3 - (the largest chunk from what i've seen) those that have absolutely no clue as to what is going on. "How will this affect those of us that don't copy illegal stuff?" "It's just software we can hack it" "hot grits on my harddrive natalie portman picks petrified behind 1024 bits encryption!". These people would be better off to STOP reading, scroll UP, and read the damn article.
oh i forgot 4 - misc. this includes the ranters (like myself) and whatnot who have a few good points and manage to mention hot grits and the like.

what if you're blind and can't see the stickers, or the video cameras?

obviously you did not read the submissions, as they were the epitphamy of bad and there is no doubt, in anyone's mind, that they are.. bad.
hrm, i'm no expert at resume writing but yours could use some work. your objective is weak and too you-centric, it does not emphasize what you could bring to the company, what you could do there, etc. in the hobbies, the "learning" is kinda lame. in your work experience, the "I did this..." and "I did that..." does not sound very professional.

anyhow.. good luck with the job search!
they also randomly turn themselves off and on because the switch is heat based. sounds like fun!

Thank a veteran if you love your freedom.

Get bent, Matrox!!

simple explanation. it's obviously a fake, and microsoft has fooled you.
microsoft "all your pixels are belong to us".
Moderators MOD THIS DOWN!! IT IS NOT FUNNY.

NSA spies on everyone BUT Americans. Spying on americans is FBI territory. CIA, again, is external.
Come on people, I'm not even American and I know these things.
I believe the average pimp's commission is around 94-95%, if that helps any.

More like if you decided to drive an unsafe car on the road. And no, you don't have that right (at least not in North America).
:)
I like that analogy.. let's extend it:
Wind0ze = Ford Exploders, built Ford tough - to explode!
BSD = Volvo, boxy IS sexy!
anyone think of any more?
The army uses "laser turrets" already, not exactly as weapons but more as guidance systems and for identification. So there ya go :)
Ofcoz they could be used as weapons if you laze the enemies' eyes...
what's wrong with being a karma whore anyway? They've gotta put food on the table too, man.

so find another job! good golly why are people so damn lazy when it comes to finding something better to do! Especially if yer being fucked?
Okay Foo. I just went into a MacDonalds and ordered a "Full tummy". They gave me some crappy handburgers. Your logic fails. Please (a)bort or
r)etry.
