Bullshit. I can teach 65+ year old biddies from the ghetto how to repair laptops in a couple of weeks, yet they still can't program a VCR to save their lives. Teaching the founders today by analogy would take about ten minutes, and they'd then look at you and go "You sir, are a fucking moron."

Already built into the ethernet protocols IIRC. Plain and simple copper wire rules and in every instance works better with the exception of direct laser transmission. Next.
Historically speaking, you are 100% wrong. That's how GOVERNMENT, of which the court is an implicit part of, works, and has always worked since written history. Eventually, they are captured by the greedy, and then usurped to serve greedy needs.
"IVTC errors - the master video will have had 3:2 pulldown applied to produce the NTSC framerate of 29.97fps. For the DVD, the video was inverse telecined (IVTCed) to convert to 23.976fps.

Thanks for letting me know you and the stores you shop at are easy marks for credit fraud. At bare minimum they should be checking that the name on the license matches the name on the card.
The French are so incompetent that five or six people just talking in public at a cafe could have planned these attacks.
Parisians more-so. They're too busy with their day-to-day lives to give two fucks about anything else. Been there, seen it, could've killed the entire population thanks to how unconcerned they are about anything other than themselves.
Or that server runs from a home connection while linked to the cloud. Live businesses are rather prone to this, cloud or not. If the primary server can't take the live load, it's over.
"Um, and you know this how? You are a college flunk out yourself."
It's funny when you can't even get the details right.
So let's correct them for you.
First, it's high school dropout. Katrina hit and fucked our home business over. I took survival in comfort over living in the streets, and used my prior work experience starting at age 15 as an apprenticed Oriental chef to land work.
Second, I continued my education on my own. I did everything from hacking college accounts to get access to library materials and research papers to signing up for non-credit supplemental learning classes.
Third, I proved my worth by designing an experiment that showed that most typical crops grew perfectly fine or better under targeted LED lighting, and then went on to develop a system to make highly-enriched fodder without additives using zero light (but inducing an electrical charge into the nutrient solution) and got that company on the BBC.
So, please, tell me, what have you done besides bitch and be unconstructive?

First, you fail at understanding Moh's hardness scale, secondly, you fail at understanding how we make and assess quartz crystals (essentially crystals of silicon dioxide) today.
Making these storage discs is absolutely fucking trivial. We make equally-pure quartz for smoking purified cannabis extracts (quartz nails, which takes heat way, WAY higher than what these discs are rated for, and rarely shatter, because of the very, very, VERY low thermal expansion coefficient.)
Nope. I've played CDs with solid cracks from spindle contact to outer edge without a skip on way older 1-bit DAC CD players (specifically, the garbage known as the Limp Bizkit 3 Dollar Bill, Y'all album.)
Show me ANY DVD and player that can handle that sort of medium damage.
"but you can't visually inspect a HD and know you should be replacing it soon"
Actually, some hard drives got hot enough over time that you could see the typical blue/purple heat discoloration on the top enclosure plate near the vent hole. You knew it was either time to fix your cooling or replace those drives, or both.

I leave that there to annoy people. :D
Besides the fact that 90% of your country is completely uninhabitable by any sizable human population and you're all cluster-fucked to the coasts?
"There might be an application such as broadcasting video or information to, say, a stadium crowd or a convention center crowd."
Do you even know what a PROJECTOR is?

Sharks with Lasers was a meme here on /. well before Redshit existed.

"They include the theatrical release in non-anamorphic, 4x3, 2.0 Dolby digital. People want 16x9 wide screen with 5.1 surround sound."
That's YOUR FUCKING FAULT for not reading the back of the package to see what formats it contained. I've got a copy in 3:2 anamorphic with 5.1 Dolby.
Not my fault you're a fucking moron that can't read shit on a box printed plain and clearly for all to see.
He buys it from me, so all I can say is he must be lacing it AFTER.

"What can we do to make this disappear decisively?"
Cripple the internet to the point that global economy can no longer happen, and force a global economic collapse.
In other words, all you network engineers and people running the backbones need to step up and protest.
Hey, at least I've got credentials to show, including fucking Google.
What do you have?
Not shit that we can see!

That wasn't a typo. That was a full-on word fuckup.
And I know plenty about light. I play with light all day long, for those here that know my primary profession.
Try again when you aren't an AC and have credentials!

Give me a fucking break.
Scratches will diffuse a light beam and corrupt the data readings.

By that logic, considering you can't spell, shut the fuck up and take your ass off this site until you know how.
Collimated, you ill-educated ignorant fuckwit.
Harvard can't make money because its education quality is falling through the floor, thus they have to rely upon partnering with large corporations.
I'd use that to finish up my tourmaline and gold mines and turn it into more money.
