  1. Re:CG Actors on Titanic Director to Make Battle Angel Movie · · Score: 1

    Depends. Personally if it was entirely in CGI, I'd like the actors to be in CGI (but I only want Square Enix to do it. They can do better at this kind of stuff than Dreamworks or Pixar. Check out Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and you'll see. Makes Dreamworks and Pixar's stuff look like child's play). Having it all CGI makes the medium uniform. And besides even if the actors are CGI it still requires a human element or touch if you will to make the character believable. Someone will have to do the voice, and it's most likely to be an actor anyways. And at least the actors don't have to worry about make-up and focus on acting.

    And since total CGI is possibly low cost than live-action, it will allow indie filmmakers to make movies where there only limit is in their imagination and not there cost.

  2. there is a difference on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 1, Informative

    I've looked at most of the posts, and I haven't yet seen someone mention about the pointers and memory allocation that can be used in C#.

    This is where Java and C# differ.

    Java doesn't have these features and most likely will not have them any time soon.

    Of course when using them in C#, you have to label the those areas of code using those features as unsafe.

  4. Re:Snow Crash reference on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 1

    Check up above for the subject "Chalk another one up for Neil Stepehenson."

  5. Re:I usually find Cringely interesting, but this t on Cringely: MS To Hurt Linux Via USB Enhancements · · Score: 1

    With all the distros existing today, users leaving Windows will most likely get Microsoft's distro. It would be interesting to see such a distro.
