Indeed. I work at a VsFX house and we have face models that have billions of vertices and take up over a gig on disk. How are they intending to search through a space like that with error tolerances in a timely manner?
What do you think syndicated means? AP stories are bought and run in space a newspaper can fill with its own content or doesn't have the resources to investigate. They are supposed to be run verbatim. What do you think the Associated Press byline is for?
More importantly when did willful ignorance become revered as religious conviction?

This reminds me of how I "caught" 20 extra pounds form my friend who was a wonderful cook. Oh "weight" it was just me going through a 12 pack of soda every 4 days.
Isn't it a bitch to swap disks in and out for restoring backups? My office goes through 25 40gig DLT's every 3 days, and just storing those and retrievin them is a hassle. I can't imagine where we'd be w/out the robot to assist in actually doing the backups.
An economy built on exporting knowledge is sustainable ; every scientist earns his bread that way, and so do lawyers and all expert consultants.
But those bread winning scientists,lawyers, and consultants have to stay sufficiently ahead of scientists, lawyers, and consultants elsewhere. It's much harder to break new ground than it is to understand other people's ground breaking work, which means fairly soon (within a decade or two) a country that is currently only able to consume information will have 'caught up' and be able to either feed another country's info void or sell new discoveries back to the original knowledge provider, which makes it hard for the original counry to maintain it's info export economy.
Now whie this is arguably good for us as a species, I think it's bad for America as a nation, because if we stake our fortunes on selling research, we don't have a viable fallback for when we're no longer the smartest country.
The problem is it's easy to transmit knowledge and short of executions, damn impossible to halt its transfer. There is no humane way to keep "subscribers" of knowledge from seeking other sources or reselling there knowledge, therefore an economy built on exporting knowledge is inherently unsustainable.
Sorry but you're wrong. Madagascar was done at Dreamworks mostly by the remnants of the PDI pipeline. Their software is all developed inhouse and has been in service for a number of years. They have 2d programs that were developed for Dreamwork feature anim. The best thing about inhouse stuff though is you can take useful ideas from everywhere.
The inhouse software we use where I work looks a lot like Maya but it doesn't share any code. Pixar's animation program only recently got the ability to click to select!
Porting the processor won't magically make Macs act like evey other system. You still have to deal with OS X's crazy (or at least unique) display APIs or convince a user to install X11.
or for that matter consider Hitlers support for the church as proof churches are evil?
Actually Hitler was very anti-church. He set up his own cult about Germanic superiority and drew inspiration from folk tales and myth. The upper level SS were inducted into this mystery religion. Upon the Germans taking a city, if the SS got there first all the Church would be razed. The normal German soldiers thought this was odd enough to remark on it in their personal journals.
Considering the vast majority of homosexuals I've known come from very conservative/republican backgrounds, I'd say it's all social. Or that the same genes responsible for recessive homosexuality inspire Republican leanings when not expressed or something.
I think a few colds causing Childhood Cancer are a small price to pay for the continual protection from Martian Invasion that the common cold provides us.

I'm fairly certain you're confusing bytes and blocks or words. I think bytes have always been 8 bits.

Education is not a business,
If that's the case, someone better tell the people running today's Universtities.

Not from FEDERAL laws.
How the hell did you copy a lawnmower?
Guilty or Innocent?
Yeah but we go through a terrabyte worth of unique data every 3 days. I don't think your solution scales.

Having Sony on your side is a pretty sure way to lose out in a format war:

Thank you anonymous for taking those extra 30 seconds to be an asshole.
Well that's what I get for watching the History channel uncritically. Aw well. Se la vie.

In general spoofing ANYTHING having to do with financial institutions is asking for trouble.
Do you know NATO Jenkins? No really, do you know NATO Jenkins? That's what I thought.

Seems like they could make it hip for the youngsters by translating it as "wicked angry."

Why not use stuff you don't have to pirate in the first place?
