What do you do when they do all this in front of the cameras anyway?
This is the general problem really. Parents have to look at the tapes. The tapes are at the school. Are parents going to look at the tapes? No.
You can't just put a camera and tape. You're talking about hours of tapes and hundreds of students.
No parent is going to sit through hours to look at every instance of malice. Those situations will be spread out over the tapes. You'll spend almost all day fast forwarding for each parent.
Parent Assembly Day? I can just see all the stupid parents claiming it's the school's job to take care of it.
It will be completely ineffective and just put cameras where they don't need to be.
I should know I went to a school where we had the newspaper spy on us. It was horrible, but it didn't stop any of the infrequent violence and it sold papers.
Is it an invasion of privacy? Yes, but so are metal detectors, drug tests and searching lockers. Why not have video cameras?
Why not have electrodes on their heads connected to a central database?
Musicians have already been screwed beyond the point of screwing them further.
The RIAA believes that not only should artists be in debt to them, but their creations are works for hire.
When was the last time you had a job where you did wirk for hire and you were more in debt to your employee?
They are affected by napster, because it is a small market for such things. They can barely support themselves as it is, and are only kept afloat by sales of albums.
Wait... hehe... so 2+2=3 now? Like in a smaller market more people are downloading their work?
The final irony here is that the spread of napster and gnutella, and unauthorised piracy generally, would mean the collapse of such small outfits and an increase in musical homogenousness.
Music outlets are already homogenous. I would so love to have a text to speech system that randomly played songs off napster and read the album and track info from the files.
How many of us even buy what we watch?

Has the Internet muckraking solvent hit these people so hard they have to sell article slants to barely controlling interests?
Are news sites going to be subsidized by porn moguls? Dear god I hope so. They're last bastions of sanity and free speech.
Heck the porn industry gives a ton away and they keep making more money.
Anyone who has read slashdot knows there's two possibilities:
Somebody either writes a long article about fairness and rights and what not or they write a short list of the dangers.
Some will support the copyright nazis and some will go so far as suggesting everything be released for no profit to its creator.
In either case we need less yacking about the obvious and more facts and details and access to information that provides a clear view of what's going on.
Find DMCA on amazon or bn. This book includes a ful copy of the DMCA, a history of copyright, clearly stated concerns, commentary from various sources including slashdot, EFF, 2600, Cryptome, and others.
Litman writes a fascinating story but in the end if you're wondering what the end result is and where it may go check out DMCA, written by a current member of the openlaw disscussion lists.
I'll accept the funny moderation for the moment...
But there's something wrong when somebody gets modded up to 4 though fewer than 18 comments have been posted.
Sure, you might only get half the clock cycles, but the ones you do get, are two times faster, so you are getting even more performance than a regular chip!

There is no art of film making. Well there is in the US, but US film history is laughable. North by Northwest? Ewwwww. Hitchcock was an impostor, but only because he thought film making was an art in itself.
In the US everything begins with a story apparently and then music, acting, props, and all the rest just grow onto the scene like moss.
Anywhere else you go a film is treated as a combination of equally important arts (literature, opera, music, dance, photography, architecture, etc).
As for remakes and so on, you can't see what you've never heard of.
And to get back to the topic. Eraserhead is amazing. Playing scenes backwards? Seems a bit pompous to me.
The camera should be on the car and on the person. You could easily fit a tiny camera on those pepper spray cans. And what do you know no one would need to monitor any cameras and fall asleep on the job.
Heck one acquaintance of mine carries a pistol and a wristwatch with a camera on it.
And talk about eyewitness accounts. Five camras in close range matching a suspect.
Cameras don't bother me personally. I don't have any emotional hang ups other than public speaking.
I'd just rather have every camera run by someone with a conscience.
I was born in a communist state. If I see a mile long row of cameras out in the desert disturbing me and my SO it's going to get "vaporized".
Cameras should carry some level of responsibility and accountability.
Unusual Suspects should be the name of this flick.

Usual suspects sucked too.
Sorry but cutting film with scissors does not a mystery make.
Your argument would hold water if the cameras were being placed in peoples homes, or something outrageous like that. But they aren't.
Being videotaped in public gives people information which is private. By putting it in the database they can correlate where I go Saturday nights, when I leave, what I take with me, where I stop to buy champagne for a private party.
There is no reason to have cameras on streets or driveways. There is nothing to steal on the street. Hey, criminal put that burnt out cigarette back on the ground it's not yours.
In fact, with a camera on MY driveway, the information on it should BE mine.
With cameras on streets, the information should belong to that neighborhood.
There is aboslutely no reason for centralization of all the information.
--What will you do when your next generation sees --them as normal as furniture. And the next have --no innate fear of them and completely ignore --them?
-That is the situation now. CCTV cameras have been -used here for years, to great effect.
You didn't understand my question. What will you do when your next generation doesn't give a damn about the cameras and starts commiting crimes in broad daylight. Chaos is a matter of power. If people don't care anymore your police will helpless to stop them.
The system even has a computer face recognition system that can highlight known criminals and also pinpoint suspicious behaviours completely autonimously. This saves manpower and cuts crime.
As long as criminals give a damn.
Saving manpower is a savings in conscience. Conscience cannot exist without awareness. There's a difference between having a cop watch you and having a cop watching a camera. You can talk to the cop. The camera will not relay your message nor its potential to cause people to reconsider their actions.
CCTV cameras are welcomed by the populace.
And? Oh I'm sorry is there something else you had to say about this? Oh you didn't I see...
I arrest my case.
It has been quietly and successfully used here for many years now.

Go away. I have media to sell. My customers are not satisfied and if they are they shall be reprogrammed.
he top 10 sites having 75% of the web traffic (or whatver the statistic is).
Web sites don't generate traffic. Viewers do.
As a result those top ten sites have earned their traffic.
Did I mention that their website is one of the most popular sources of news on the net?
They do not get 1.5 Million hits/day. Guess who does?
What does it say?
MP3s came from the development of MPEGs. Movies were shared first not audio.
The people most harmed are the musicians.
Musicians have already been screwed beyond the point of screwing them further.

Normally that would be idiotic, but you can't boyc ott something you don't use.

Short note (full post when I'm fully awake) - That was surprisingly lucid.
How does porn on a server affect anyone until it is seen?
I suppose you've gone deaf from trees falling which you couldn't hear.
Or to put it another way:
Porn is not on their server anyway they're just listing results to a search and the organizing it.
No Text.

Goodbye suckers. Christ what a disappointment.
I can check Internet information myself quite easily. It takes weeks to check information in the dead tree world.
I'm really getting sick of this troll.
What's that got to do with the useless torso portion?
It causes less balance. get rid of it. It's not like robots will have sex.
