At least filming police is legal in Arizona, even if frowned upon.
In the UK we now have the Kafkaesque Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 which considers civillian filming of police to be 'eliciting or attempting to elicit information about (members of the police)' as 'likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism'. Maximum penalty: 10 years inside.
It was a combination of reactor design, the design of the test, and lack of knowledge about previous nuclear accidents in the USSR.
The root of the problem was the initial power spike caused by the flawed graphite-tip control rod design that displaced coolant before the neutron-absorbing boron carbide component of the rods entered the reactor.
But managers hadn't been told of a previous identical accident at a different power station, because all USSR nuclear workers were told that not a single accident had ever occurred at any Soviet plant. (There had been 19 IIRC). And it was this lack of knowledge that led to a chain of mistakes following the initial power spike.
either they are pretty poor at it compared to the rest (dubious) or their program is a whole heck of a lot bigger and more ambitious than the other players in the game
And this has been the response of the entire visual effects industry, worldwide, too, for about the last 8-10 years.
Almost 100% linux based pipelines. And now almost 100% Nvidia Quadro. Because of driver support, not the cards themselves.
But it's a problem ATI can remedy for themselves. I think re-establishing, and putting meaningful funds into their open-source driver project is the first step.
Sidereal Motion (2010) is a four-movement film+music work about the night sky as photographed from five astronomical observatories around the world. It features awe-inspiring time-lapse sequences and still images shot by Salgado and original music by Bailey. The close correlation between music and visuals results in a work where the combination of these is much greater than the sum of its parts.
Chaotic Hermit: This avatar does not meet the requirements to be here Chaotic Hermit: Change it or leave please Chaotic Hermit: 1 minute to eject
Hunter Pearse: OK, I'm back. What exactly didn't meet the requirement? Chaotic Hermit: Height
Hunter Pearse: ?! Chaotic Hermit: 4 foot 9 minimum
Hunter Pearse: Are you kidding? Chaotic Hermit: nope
Hunter Pearse: Why is that? Chaotic Hermit: children are short Chaotic Hermit: look it's a beach rule Chaotic Hermit: comply or not
Hunter Pearse: My friend that is just weird
Hunter Pearse: Do I look like a child? Chaotic Hermit: you need to follow the rules to stay Chaotic Hermit: all of them
Hunter Pearse: I'll stay out of your beach Chaotic Hermit: no you look stupid Chaotic Hermit: But that's not the point
Hunter Pearse: Yes, I look stupid. I'm a fucking alien
Hunter Pearse: later Chaotic Hermit: you can look how you want as long as your 4 foot 9
Hunter Pearse: "you're"
Although hopefully, here in the UK, more attention will be paid to this ruling than the retention of innocent citizen's biometric data ruling made a short while ago.

It's only an arbitrary question at the moment because the costs of exploitation are so high. There's an assumption that oil companies would want to diversify as reserves run out. But if another form of fuel takes its place, is it right to assume that the company, or country, who bears the cost of developing the technology needed to exploit the fuel should also own that fuel.
The most promising vendor for developing a simple, stable linux NLE in the near future is actually probably The Foundry judging by their development with Storm, TweakRV integration, and EDL conforming. Which is ironic considering your comments on Nuke.

Perhaps the same algorithm that identifies the gender of a tweet could also be used to 'girl-ify' a tweet from male to female language.
Feed in your tweet. Press 'Girl-ify'. Hey presto, all your macho male grunting is converted to fluffy, girly, gender-skewed language.
By 'book', Einstein meant a physical, printed, unchangeable book.
When we're relying on the internet for unchanging 'facts', we're at the mercy of information storage that can be changed at will.
In George Orwell's 1984, history was re-written by destroying books and creating new ones.
But when our brains don't remember 'facts' because we think the internet will remember for us, those facts can be changed without us realising.
We're reliant on a system of logging, caching and revision-history to tell us otherwise.
But not every stored fact on the internet has the revision-history of wikipedia et al.
The ISS is slightly larger than a full-sized football field. So 335 meters is only about 3 time the length of the ISS lengths away.
You mentioned Chernobyl in the context of an explosion.
The explosion at Chernobyl was caused by rapid steam production and an increase in pressure.

Thorium reactors run at low pressure. There's no high-pressure steam component, or risk of steam explosion.
And the additional red tape can be used to further reduce our Scandinavian sanitation budget.
The answer is facepaint.

“Given a choice between doing it with CUDA or not doing it for a while [while waiting for] OpenCL, we chose the former.”
Hopefully as OpenCL matures, Adobe will see the advantages.

It's still got to be better than Linux ME
And Sidereal Motion from the Bailey-Salgado project is also very interesting.

Speaking as someone who lives in the United Kingdom, I can assure you that we've had a significant nuclear accident here!

its just in the areas of editing and the audio where there is a massive hole
Except in the high end - i.e Smoke. And for anything beyond commercials, that's normally as a conforming tool, rather than an editing app.

Ah. You mean like:
Avid
Smoke
Flame
DS Nitris
Lightworks
Premiere
Etc
