Sadly, you are probably right. But without their support, no such "standard" will be used. All of the schools teach mostly 3D Studio Max and Maya for 3-D usage. SoftImage (XSI) is making a little headway, but those are the big ones. If they don't accept the standard, then it won't be useful.
In other news, the streets of downtown London were filled this morning with a bicycle-riding fish parade. But, sadly, an Irish potato-frying consortium jumped into the fray. Local Fish and Chips shops are screaming bloody murder.
Here is the lovely Dutch to English translation ala Babel Fish:

The information is related to international criminal organisations which occupy themselves by means of use of computers and the Internet with the large-scale and worldwide exchange of illegal copies of digital files, which is contrary with copyright legislation. Such organisations have been confessed in the Internet world as "Warez-groepen". A group which is confessed as "Fairlight" is one of groups oldest and the most known within warez-scene.

The article says that 3 big companies in on this are Intel, Adobe, and Microsoft (and a variety of other unnamed parties). I would much prefer to see some companies that do more with 3D content createion, like Autodesk, Discreet, Alias/Wavefront, Invidia, etc. Might it not be best to ask the big players first?
Interestingly enough, a wormhole appeared distorting the fabric of space and time, and through it fell a copy of the Encyclopedia Galactica from the year 2032. Listed under the heading of "MPAA" was an entry that read:
The RIAA was a total sleazebag group that was first up against the wall when the revolution came.

I have installed 2 Linux distros on my Dell desktop. It has all the standard onboard audio that comes with the standard (mainstream) Dell Optiplex GX260. I have never installed a sound driver and it has always autodetected the card and it has always worked. No problems here.
If you could install a mute button on a kid, then I might think about procreating (now I just need to find a remote control gf who will help me with that...
He's probably Jewish; Jewish religious law prohibits writing the L-rd's name, so the euphemism "G-d" is used instead. (Ironically, since the Hebrew language has no vowels, so presumably this circumlocution wouldn't work in G-d's "own" language."
Actually, the lack of a vowel circumlocution in Hebrew can be circumvented since the "true" name of G-d is not often (almost never) used in written form (outside of the Bible). There are many other names that represent Him (like Hashem which literally means "The Name" or any of a great variety of other reference words.
Methinks it would look more like this:
10 print "Tax form 1-A"
20 print "------------"
30 if $totalIncome1000000 then goto 60
40 $tax=$totalIncome+5
50 end
60 $tax=0
70 end
I was threatened with a law suit when I tried grooming that hottie 3 cubes over from me at work. I'll have to tell them that it is part of a real scientific study, so maybe I'll get off with a small fine and restraining order.
I love when you try to start a movie (using FireWhatever of course), it asks if you want to install and run the controls. If has the most deliciously ironic sentence:
Caution: Microsoft Corporation asserts that this content is safe. You should only install/view this content if you trust Microsoft Corporation to make that assertion
OK- who among you really answered Yes to that? I mean, if Microsoft said it's safe then it must be, right?
I've been using netflix for months and have yet to receive a single spam from them. I do get notes that they send telling me that the movies I ordered are shipped. I also get notes from them telling me that the movies I send back to them are received. Neither of these fall into the spam category, and I am happy to get emails like this so I know things are working properly. There is probably a checkbox on the sign up form that your friend checked that puts them on a mailing list or something. But I have never been spammed by them ever.
I had a cheesy tech support job once, right around the time that BackOrifice surfaced. The company did not run any virus protection and we all got infected. I was the 1st to discover the true nature of our adversary, and I found a fix for it. Of course, in the process of researching it, I had to go to a few black hat sites because at the time, that was the only place that these things are documented. The guy running the proxy saw that and fingered me.
Long story short, I got fired. I put forth an appeal, so the termination was changed to 2 weeks suspension. Paid suspension! After they did a lot of checking of dates, they found that my story was actually true and they had just fired the only person who could actually fix the problems they were having.
I took advantage of the opportunity and used those 2 weeks to find a new job. As soon as I got "rehired", I quit. Interestingly enough, the company got bought out that week (probably by the folks who sent the trojan to us...) and the buying company went bankrupt a few months later. At least this sob story has a happy ending!
You realize of course that the last email in their inbox that Comcast sent them will go unread, since they cut their internet access. So the user will not be able to check email. Especially if they use Comcast's webmail.
But apart from that, good idea.
This can only cause the Windows user base to rethink it's attraction to Windows. As if XP isn't bloated enough with useless crap, now it will already have the RealCrap(tm) built in, slowing it down further, and causing more security leaks and spyware issues.

Wow- the 2nd post already enacted Godwin's Law! This thread is over too soon.

They are wireless and internet aware. Just bring your laptop with you and it shouldn't be too hard to get in.
Funny? I was shooting for informative!

Good luck and happy hunting....
Apparently, Microsoft has already bought that book. In fact, maybe Lucas co-authored it with Billy Gates...
Yeah, I agree. For more fun and senseless translations, try this.
