Amusingly, there is a point to be made here. Unrelated to this survey, but at my own company we have regular employee satisfaction surveys, and the inevitable result is that whatever areas on the survey are considered to be low-scoring, the company response is to implement new policies, training, or processes that are far more annoying than any perceived complaints before.
This event took place in Australia, and was reported by an Australian paper; therefore, it was correctly reported in the metric altitude of 530 kilometres.
Greenscreen photography forces so many compromises that I often recommend shooting without it and laboriously hand-rotoscoping the shots.
I thought that the color for the greenscreen was selected because it didn't appear in human flesh tones. Since it was originally (AFAIK) used for TV studio news so they could put slides (and later video) behind the talking heads. Occassionally you'll see a newsperson that selected a tie with a color too close to the greenscreen color and you'll be able to 'see' through them, though.
Plus, it'd be hard to hand-rotoscope live video.:-)
Moore's Law is the empirical observation made in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit for minimum component cost doubles every 24 months
Alrighty, then. It's been a while since my CS classes. How does that apply to software? Does he mean that instead of increasing transistors on a single chip, the transistors are virtually increasing by using multiple cores?
No, it means the number of programmers on a project doubles every 24 months.
Try to imagine your insurance rates for said car without the chipped keys.
Try to image car insurance companies using this to their advantage.
"The carmakers are calling these passive antitheft systems, but they're not," says Rob Painter, a Milwaukee-based forensic locksmith who has testified in dozens of auto insurance court cases, for both sides. "They are just theft deterrents. Tell me a car can't be stolen and I'll show you how to do it."
When I worked on a defense project that was RF related, I heard the rumor that RF engineers had a higher percentage of female offspring than the average. Anyone know of any truth to this?
To my surprise the new HD cable box only has component, S-Video, and Firewire outputs
Actually, this is exactly what Firewire was designed for. That's why many DV cameras have FW ports on them. I saw an RCA HDTV that had FW ports on it. There was really no need to invent HDMI, except for the addition of the DRM.
All this'll do is drive up the cost of iPods, as if Apple didn't already charge and arm and a leg for the things.
Yeah, now they'll cost an arm, leg and finger! As in, I assume that your finger will allow me to play your iPod, even if it is not attached to your hand!
I still can't get over why generating "safe" code is the job of the compiler, anyway.
It's not, but some compilers have options to add bounds checking in the compiled output. Usually this is done for testing then the code is compiled for release without the bounds checking. Also, there are tools like Purify that also can do bounds checking and the like.
Basically, what I'm proposing amounts to sandboxing every app. This may seem harsh, but why not do it? What's the advantage of letting any app destroy any of my files? Make them at least beg me for permission first, I say!
Could you set up any app that you wanted to protect your files from with a 'chroot' wrapper? Not really sure if that would work, just asking.
Where did you get that? I have an old dot matrix printout at home of that rant. It was hilarious back in the 80's. The copy I got was from a former (late) co-worker of mine; his name was on it, I always assumed that he wrote it (he was a pretty funny guy).

I've certainly forgotten a lot of the math that I had in college. So that makes me a better programmer, right?
... - a real geek phone would fit in a CF socket so you could drop it into any device you like, and come with an unlimited high speed data plan as standard.You mean like this?
Ok, it's only GPRS speed, but it does fit in a CF socket. And you have to get your own data plan.
530Km? What's that in furlongs?

There, fixed that for you.
The term High Def should not be applied to audio.
Oh, the article is already /.ed.

I think you should go straight to the Triple Dog Dare
Keep Bill O'Reilly away from these guys!

I worked with a guy who's .plan file was a symlink to /dev/zero. I guess he didn't want to be finger-ed by anybody.
Maybe AT&T is just trying to avoid what Vonage is getting.
It smells like victory!
There are other ways, like signed firmware. That's kind of a recursive form of DRM; using DRM to protect DRM!
Perhaps you should read this.
Yeah, now they'll cost an arm, leg and finger! As in, I assume that your finger will allow me to play your iPod, even if it is not attached to your hand!
and make it up in volume! That's what I always say.

Convicted? No, never convicted!

Yeah, but it clogs the printer heads.
