The common phalicy here is that mutation, evolution, happens with a purpose in mind. It don't. It's random. To badly parahprase Stephen J Gould, evolution does not occur by living more, it occurs by dying less.
He backs up this argument with an examination of the fossil records. Is it possible to beleive that some species of prehistocic shellfish had a purpose in mind when these was a mutation that allowed some to tolerate greater fluctuations of salility? When the worldwide salinity of the oceans rose due to having more of the fresh water locked up in ice, those without the mutation died off. Dying tends to lower the chances of reproduction quite signifigantly.
It's simply not logical to believe that random mutations occur with thoughtful purpose.
You mean record direct-to-disk? That's just crazy talk... Well maybe not so crazy.
FireStore series products convert any IEEE-1394 (FireWire, i.Link) drive into high performance Digital Disk Recorder/Players. Record directly to disk from your digital camcorder, VTR, or mixer. When you are ready to edit, your clips are immediately available to your NLE system with zero ingest time - no capturing, no file transfer, no file conversion! Just shoot...then edit

You are mistaken.
CG stands for, or a least it stood for, Character Generator when used in reference to film and video.
Think Chyron, Abekas, etc.
CGI is the acronym for Computer Graphic Imagery.

Actually works quite well. Several others have simular products on the market.
I for one welcome our new giant hamster overlords?
