Well, one of the biggest selling franchises has an ensemble cast composed almost entirely of minorities. That's actually one of the reasons The Fast and The Furious movies do so well.
The good thing about being an Mac user is that I haven't had to relearn my OS since 2001. Every version of OS X has largely functioned the exact same way.
"And if so, do you drive more reckless now that you know that you're more likely to survive a crash because of seatbelt and airbag?"
I've been a skydiver for many years, and this is absolutely true in the sport. The gear is much safer than it used to be and is continually improving, but the fatality and injury rate remains fairly steady. People absolutely take bigger risks knowing their gear is safer, which cancels it improvements in safety. It's called Booth's law.
Not true. I tried to buy stamps at a post office using a company credit card that didn't have my name on it. I signed as the name, and they compared the two and would not let me make the purchase.
Encoding the image with the coefficients is not the lossy part. The lossy part is when you ditch the coefficients which contribute little to the image, and when you downsample the chroma.
Replacement rate is slightly higher than 2 children per woman, to account for children dying before reaching sexual maturity by disease or accident, etc. Benefits should probably be extended to 3 kids unless you want the population to slowly shrink.
If it was possible. More and mrs I think the reason we haven't encountered aliens is simply that traveling long distances across space and surviving is physically impossible.
Maybe I don't get this. Let's say we travel 20 light years and want to know whether there is life on a planet there. You take two sets of entangled particles. One for yes, one for no. When you get there and find the answer, you interact with the appropriate particle. Instantly the other one back home has its state set. So when you notice back home, you check to see if it was the yes or no. You now instantly know the answer.
Unskippable trailers are like an urban legend to me. Not I, nor anybody I know has ever gotten a DVD that made you watch trailers beforehand that couldn't be skipped. Those that had trailers let you go to the menu by pressing the menu or top menu button.
It makes me wonder if the people saying these things actually buy DVDs.
On pretty much every console since consoles existed, the later games look better than the early games as developers figure out how to squeeze more and more out of the console. SO yes, you can upgrade your PC to get better graphics but consoles frequently get better graphics for free.

The problem with such a system is that it works in theory, but not always in the real world where companies have more power than people do.
And this is because Union membership and support has significantly eroded in the United States. If more workers could bargain collectively, the power would be shifted.
$30 or so? I can easily drive to SF from LA on ¾ of a tank, which would be about 30 bucks. Why pay more than that? I get parking in SF might be terrible and costly, but depending on whom you are visiting driving is really the way to go.
Yes it does. 4K is roughly equivalent to 35mm, but if you are doing VFX for something shot in 70mm or in IMAX, 8K is used. If you saw Interstellar in actual 70mm film, you can easily tell which scenes were shot in 35 vs 70 when the screen is the size of a real IMAX theatre.
Not really. When you measure something you change it, so your information would no longer be accurate, and thus you could never have the type of data to make that kind of prediction.
You realize the PS3's hardware WAS exotic right? That's exactly why it's hard! Write code optimized for multiple SPE units, and see how well you can get it to run on x86.
Probably not for most people, but I do it all the time on film sets. Rather than carry a workstation, you can just cary a laptop and a thunderbolt chassis with a RED ROCKET card for playback and transcoding. On location, this is a lifesaver.
Citizen Kane has a shit ton of special effects. Double exposures, matte paintings and set extensions, miniatures, etc. In fact the film is known for using these techniques very well.
We already have good codecs for professional use, lossy and lossless, that support alpha channels. For lossless there's Animation or DPX, for lossy Prores or DNxHD, etc. These codecs are standardized and supported by a wide variety of hardware and software. I think anybody doing this type of work professionally is going to be using already proven established codecs. There's nothing old, clunky, or painful about these (maybe animation).
Pretty much anybody can fly an airplane under general aviation, yet you see relatively few nasty accidents. This is because, surprise, it's much more difficult to get a pilot's license than a driver's license because the standards are high. I imagine flying cars would be no different.

It could be stopped if Apple stopped approving apps that were grossly oversized for what they were.

This is what Blizzard did with Bnet in the Starcraft days, and it was hated so much that it drove people to private servers like ICCUP.
You can absolutely sell an Emulator. Connectix got sued by Sony for their Virtual Game Station PSX emulator, and won.

If it's an mp4 file, it's not using a quicktime container. The quicktime container is .mov.

Why should you be taxed on revenue? You should be taxed on profit.
