That's because the USB is 480M/s burst speed where the firewire is 400M/s continuous. So, for short bursts the USB will beat the firewire, but any transfer longer than a few seconds and the firewire will always win out. That continuous speed is also why firewire is the standard in digital video editing. There is nothing worse than a jumpy input when you are scanning video.

Fair enough. You and your wife are the perfect market and target for GIMP. That said, lack of CMYK (and LAB and other colour spaces) is completely unacceptable for anything outside of pure computer work. If your wife ever wants to send one of those pictures to a printer to get a poster made, anything above a mom and pop shop won't even touch a RGB file. For that matter, if you have a nice colour printer at home the difference is more than a little noticeable depending on the colours involved. Just because you have not needed it yet, don't discount the importance. Really, it is on the order of a word processor not supporting different fonts. Sure, you haven't needed anything but Times New Roman so far, so it is not an issue. That doesn't mean the program is fit to compare to real word processors.
And Blender was the first 3D program I used. Spend a couple years messing around with it to good result. However, the learning curve is at least as bad as Maya's, for far less reward.
Care to cite a source for that? As someone with both allergies and a high IQ, that still sounds like something that the scrawny kids tell themselves to feel better when they can't keep up in gym class.
I think Credability is the key word here. Right or wrong, that piece of paper does confer some level of credability. Without it, you are jsut some guy with ideas. They may be right, they may be wrong, it doesn't matter because for people who don't know you there is little credibility to back that up. With the piece of paper, you still might be wrong, but it is easier to convince people that your ideas are worth looking into to start with.
I'm not sure you can say that as far as the corporate world goes. By default, Windows and related programs is everything you need because that is what 90% of corporate enviroments are based on. That is not to say that nothing else is better or has useful features that Windows lacks, but simply that you can easily ahve everything that you need to run a fully sucessful office on a Windows, or even a purely Microsoft box.
Great, so the first time they see the sticker price will be in the store sitting beside the 360 for half the price and the Wii for a third. I am sure that will improve Sony's sales.
Remember, this would take a huge bunch of machinery that would have to be working 24/7 for months or years at a time. Something goes wrong, you go flying off at high speed in the middle of a bunch of shrapnel.
Long answer: Characters as well as buildings, objects, etc, are designed with the style of the particular picture in mind. Characters from something like Over the Hedge just wouldn't look right in something like Shrek or Toy Story and the same goes the other way. In more realistic films, if you took a character like Kong and put him in LotR, he wouldn't fit. The style and design principles are too different. A character like the Hulk (ignoring that you wouldn't use it for anything but a Hulk movie) would look REALLY out of place in a more realistic film because conscious decisions were made when they made the character to emphasise the comic book feel.
And this ignores the fact that half these characters are made on proprietary systems, the other half use heavily modified plug-ins and the whole thing is designed for a specific production pipeline. The amount of work needed for more than a minor modification to this setup makes the whole thing not worth it.
You have to be joking What this is is a perfect example of the opposite. The judge needs to award costs, and a little extra for the trouble and tell the cops to stop acting like idiots. End of case. No lasting dmage has been done to anyone, as long as the law gets laid down in a blunt manner nothing else is needed.
This is the major issue with the whole idea of investments. Investing does not actualy produce any wealth for anyone. What it does is move wealth around. An investment by itself does not cause any new product, idea, material, or anything else to be created. Occasionaly, an investment will produce the enviroment that would not have otherwise existed for working people to produce these things, but the investment itself has done nothing. In short, it is a leach on the work of others simply due to the fact that reguardless of how much or how little wealth it removes from those doing the work, it is incapable of giving anything back.

"That's about 1/2 a gallon of gas worth of energy. Notable, but probably not a huge concern"
Well, per person it is not. On, the other hand, I believe the 360 has at this point sold ~3.5 million units. That's 1.75 million gallons of gas a year. That is a lot of gas, no matter how you look at it. Now, fast forward a year after the PS3 has come out. Say, 15 million units sold between them. 7.5 million gallons of gas is worth noticing.
See now, an interpreter of some sort that would take the normal internet and display it in a three dimensional way. A navigation metaphor of some sort.
But as these are, they are no better than a poor imitation of Second Life. They have focused on a such a narrow vision that by looking completely beyond them, other software such as Second Life has already moved far beyond.
But, like I originally said, I would love to play around with something that displayed the normal internet in a 3D metaphor.
Yeah, well, the same people who can afford to blow $200,000 dollars on a 30 minute vacation can, by extension, afford REALLY good lawyers. Or, rather, whoever inherits their money after they die in a fiery ball can afford really good lawyers. Faced with someone with enough money, even winning the lawsuit would be almost as expensive as winning it, 10 meter long waiver or not. Frankly, I am amazed than anyone is willing to even make a go at this as a business. Virgin has a chance simply because they have the cash to survive a few court appearances, but any smaller company? not a hope.
At the top of my list for games that have stood the test of time is Heroes of Might and Magic 2. I still play ti occasionaly and ahve friends who play regularily.
Yes, and the fun part is that they are happily letting the stock market do whatever they want while doing their own thing. Google's stock pirce could bottom out tomorow and I doubt that it would have much affect on their day-to-day buisness. Wall Street wouldn't be very happy, but it wouldn't do anything to hurt Google's actual cash flow (such as it is), nor their current projects. After all, they already got their money from the IPO, what happens to the stock price now no longer matters.

THe whole moving camera thing is true. Trust me, as someone who does digital compositing, I wish it wsan't. My life would be so much easier.
Heh, these days, everywhere except North America has cheap broadband. All the other governments see it as an important investment.
Great idea. Now, when your child is thinking about doing something less than smart, they will also intentionally NOT take their cell phone with them.
