i totally agree and think that there could be four ways or 'modes' of zooming 1-zoom text and images (scale whole page) 2-zoom text only 3-zoom a single image 4-zoom all images four modes of zooming is kind of complex, but seems logical to me i had always hoped they would just absorb the image zoom extension into the code of ffx as it is right now for me, the ffx2 version of text only zooming, plus the image zoom extension works very nicely
So, have you ever seen Quest for Fire?
Tommy Chong's daughter, Rae Dawn Chong, is one of the main characters.
It's a French film, but there's no dialog in it because it's set before language really was advanced.
Mostly primitive vocal noises, body language, and hand signs.
Still a good movie, though without any real words being spoken.
One of the elements of this film I liked the most was the realistic depiction of the diversity of anthropoid types that existed in those times. This was executed beautifully and skillfully in the depiction of several diverse tribal groups, explaining the well deserved Oscar for makeup.
Another elements of realism that scores big with me was that there are attacks by wild animals as well as by anthropoids. I also liked the language used by the main tribe, there was a suggestion that the language was evolving right before us as the travelers, having been sent on a quest for fire, returned with quite a bit more to talk about.
That was from the user review at imdb, and I wasn't really trying to 'get' you or anything... just pointing out how far back these issues really go. Humans were able to be just as smart back then, but didn't have the body of past knowledge to draw from. Kind of reminds me of how Linus Torvalds always says that open source developers are just standing on the backs of giants. We're standing on the backs of all of humanity that came before us.
I don't know of any books on pre-history. Got any suggestions?
Isn't it all just speculation based upon archaeological findings anyway?
When was the first fire?
Who was the first fire hoarder?
Anyways it was just a thought... I'm in agreement with you on the modern question of copyright.
Copyright is an inducement for creators to create things and make them available for others to use. The targeted benefit was to society- not to a select individual.
i'm glad that copyright was around when fire was invented/discovered/created so that the early humans were induced to create it and make it available for others to use... it surely did benefit society, in all seriousness
but what if there was some ancient ancestor that tried to hoard fire, and charge people for it?
once others found out how to make it on their own, what kind of copyright enforcement do you think the there were?
this makes me want to go watch Quest For Fire again
I was just thinking in this same vein. It would be nice for it to learn words as well as letters. Then phrases etc etc etc.
But will it need to be trained on everyone? That could be a limiting factor. If you've got to train this thing for everyone then it's like the speech to text stuff (i'm thinking 'dragon speaking' software here). That would be a pain to train, but worth it when you've done the training...
if it can learn words, numbers and phrases as well as just letters.
HOWEVER: the way they've described the BCI it seems that it should be able to 'learn' and brainwave if it were programmed to do so.

that's what i've always thought... is it really that hard?
my exact feelings ... thanks for responding David!

unless the unpatched pc is behind a good firewall (a linksys router or equivalent will do just fine)

"I don't think I've seen a need for ActiveX in at least three years."
.9 or 1.0
sure there's no need for it, but people still do it
"I think they were still having the naming debates back then, in fact."

and btw, what do commies have to do with anything?
if they could get the width to be fluid that would be nice... or maybe just a wee bit wider... please
mod bchirhart up please
you know what i'm like... ya play it in your system every night
doesn't innovation bring profits?
i totally agree and think that there could be four ways or 'modes' of zooming
1-zoom text and images (scale whole page)
2-zoom text only
3-zoom a single image
4-zoom all images

thanks for the info i didn't know about damascus steel
