hardly. see it in the original Super Panavison. the front projection in the Dawn of Man sequence looks better than an awful lot of green screen compositing done nowadays. the moon sets look wrong, but nobody had been to the moon at that time, and the sets represented the scientific consensus as to what the moon looked like. ignoring the lower gravity is less of a sin than what is typically foisted on audiences in sci-fi films now. the sets and miniatures are of amazing quality, and the miniature motion tracking shots look absolutely real. some might find the motion tracking to look cheap, because realistic isn't what people are used to.
Surely you jest. I'm against the use of UAVs, period. You seriously want some automated plane firing missiles at suspected "terrorists" in America? Or anywhere, for that matter? Where innocent people will be killed? Let's hope UAVs remain at a standstill in this country. We've got enough problems with Homeland Insecurity going nuts with every "boo" the so-called "terrorists" do.
surely you realize that, while all UCAVs are UAVs, not all UAVs are UCAVs.
Does the fact that none* of the Apple Operating system names are of animals not native to America?
*After 5.1, which is "Kodiak" - which can be found in Alaska.

there are pumas in the American west and in Florida, they are just called Mountain Lions or Cougars or Floida Panthers. same thing.
This is a little like making a gem-encrusted toilet seat. While undoubtedly a useful interface (I use it almost every day), it is ill-suited to fast, bulk transfers, and I'm anticipating crappy performance despite the high price tag.
I find the toilet seat to be perfectly well suited to fast bulk transfers.
From what I understand, Iran has a good, or at least decent, transit system, (they aren't a third world country) and a decent communication grid
Iran was, by the very definition of the term, a third world country. Not that the term has any meaning, any more, as the Soviet Bloc, the second world, no longer exists.
i've been working part-time supporting a department at my University, but i'm in the opposite position, as i've been trying to become a full time staff member. money is tight at universities, which is unfortunate for me, but might be a boon for someone seeking part-time employment.
On the other hand, I'm just so scared of the consequences: we are playing with nature and past experience shows that we usually don't fully understand the long-term consequences of our actions. We usually regret such experiments.
nature played with us first, it's only fair that we reciprocate.
I still believe iPhone is all marketing, the product itself is just average. But that's only my opinion...
have you used or owned one? as an owner of an iPhone 3G, and having used many other smartphones on the marked, i'd have to say that ya-ya-ya-ya-you're on crack.
clearly you haven't, because that is incorrect. the courts have ruled over and over that, while the rights of minors are sometimes abridged, basic constitutional protections generally apply to them.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the ones who are saying that they can't tell the difference between these two clips, aren't the same ones who are always claiming they can tell the difference between mp3's encoded at 198 vs. 256.
I was listening on my laptop speakers (instead of my very expensive, very good 2-channel speaker system), and the difference between the two samples was pretty damn clear.
Also, a properly built tube amplifier gradually increases in THD as the power output leaves the optimum band, where as transistor amplifiers tend to jump from very low distortion to very high distortion, the harder they are driven. Just a generality, but it's one of the reasons people say things like "it's only 50 watts, but it's tube watts."
The first thing we tried to get working was a network share (NFS) so we could share documents and media. No matter what I did, I could not get an NFS share to mount on her system. I tried everything (BTW, who's idea was it to get rid of/etc/fstab on OS X!?) but to no avail. We simply could not get it to work. The next was that she wanted to be able to view videos on the net (using Firefox -- she got annoyed with Safari quite quickly). For some reason we had more problems than any other OS I've dealt with. We had to use the MediaPlayerConnectivity plugin, which worked fine on my system. For some reason it would not detect VLC on OS X. Which was a pain.
i support Macs at a university, and i use them full time at home, so i have a pretty good grasp on their issues. either your Mac Mini was horribly broken, or you are, because those are not problems that, you know, exist. not detecting VLC on OS X? what does that even mean? and if a developer can't get a share to mount in OS X, well, i sure as hell hope i'm not using any of your software.

i'll believe Courier is anything more than a mockup when i see it in stores.

not a lot of high powered sonar use in the civilian world, i would guess.

not the version Apple actually uses.

some kind of robot?

Soft clipping is a big advantage, for people who drive their speakers hard.
