If musicians want to get paid they should perform their music. Not write or record it once and expect to get paid for the rest of their lives (and then some) without having to lift a finger. Does a plumber get paid every time you take a shower? No. The plumber gets paid for performing their physical job.
An example of "working" musicians is Underworld. They're not the kind of band that knocks out an album and plays a "concert tour" to promote sales. These guys are in their 50s and have been gigging almost constantly for two decades - That's how they get paid. Their recorded music is an advertisement for the band itself. The internet is full of Underworld bootlegs & videos and they don't give a crap.
Of course, they're smart enough to own the copyright to their own stuff, no middlemen involved.
Just so I understand : Lower Frame rate = Lower Technical Quality = Higher Perceived Quality? Meatbags are fucked up. (Saying that I know someone who recently bought a new Vinyl turntable, to change between 33/45 RPM you have to lift off the platter and jiggle belts and gears, it cost £££££)
My observation is that people who like the AvP films hate Prometheus. I, however, hate the AvP films and went to see Prometheus twice. In 3D both times. And loved it.
Axes being poked in my face is the sort of gimmiky 3D I hate, and hope will go out of fashion real soon. The 3D in Prometheus (filmed in stereo) was really good and I think if the "effect dissolves" for you then that's properly done 3D IMO. I call it "incidental" 3D, where if someone is stood in a forest then you can see the depth but you don't have a branch in your eye.
This is about the EXISTING laws. Modifying them because at the moment a web site owner is not only responsible for the defamation/libel that someone else posted in the comment section but each and every serving of a web page is counted as an individual instance of "publishing" it, meaning ridiculous claims can be made. This adjustment means that web site owners can avoid the charges by a) taking down the comment or b) passing the buck to the person who actually posted it
It's much worse than that, the western world is almost exclusively attracted to "young" people, spending a lot of time trying NOT to look like a fully mature human, nobody has any body hair any more to the point that people think a woman who doesn't shave/wax her legs is disgusting, men are waxing their chests and no one has any public hair any more either. People have nose jobs (because your nose gets larger as you get older) and other surgery to remove evidence that they're actually grown-ups. So basically we're all trying our best to look and act like we haven't been through puberty yet. Pedophilia is just a continuation of that trend.
Yes, I haven't seen any of the previous movies in the run up to this, but went once I learned of the prospect of a 3D black-catsuit-clad Scarlett Johansson Bottom and was not disappointed. In the process though I fell in love with the ass-kicking driving-jeep-backwards-while-shooting-baddies Cobie Smulders.
"It is an offence if a person... uses wireless telegraphy apparatus with intent to obtain information as to the contents, sender or addressee of any message whether sent by means of wireless telegraphy or not, of which neither the person using the apparatus nor a person on whose behalf he is acting is an intended recipient."
It doesn't matter if I'm broadcasting unencrypted data. If you are not the intended recipient then you are breaking the law by sniffing it.
This page is specific guidance about VHF Scanners, but cites laws regarding "transmissions" in general:
"...it is illegal to listen to anything other than general reception transmissions unless you are either a licensed user of the frequencies in question or have been specifically authorised to do so... "
and
"The services that can be listened to under the definition of general reception are:
licensed broadcasting stations;
amateur and citizens' band radio transmissions; and
weather and navigation transmissions "
Don't know about the US but in the UK the law is clear regarding radio transmissions - whether clear or encrypted, whether audio or data : You need the permission of the transmitter (the person, not the equipment) to listen in. This covers everything, e.g. air traffic control is not encrypted but that doesn't mean you're allowed to listen to it. Same goes for CB chats between two trucker friends and also peoples WiFi.
So as you can see, arguing that "the wifi AP didn't have a password therefore the auto-negotiation between my laptop and their router constituted permission" will get you nowhere.
My variation on this is as follows: Large slab of wood screwed to the wall. 2 chunks of wood screwed to that at about chest height, switch screwed to those with their "bottom" facing away from the wall so you can just stand there and look at it's "front". Have 2 or 3 units in a line, wires below and guided along tacks and ties. to get to the "back" you sit on the floor.
what they should do, and I've only just thought of this, is let you hold down the $Platform keyboard key and click the left mouse button on whatever it is you want to change, be it a widget, the desktop background, an app icon or the volume-control-icon and have that launch the configurator for it.
I'm with the former, but I get tripped up by auto-indentation that either adds tabs to or b0rks when I write this
if( a==b ) {
} else if( c==d ) {
} else {
}
yes that's a lot of vertical space but I find it easier to follow, if it's my code in my project on my computer that I'm not even sharing then I should be able to do that!
it's a "Media PC" skin for standard Humans to use. Mine is a low end single core Atom (which XBMC manages to squeeze 1080P out of!) wedged into an old DVD-recorder case. It runs windows 7 but starts XBMC on boot so everyone else who is in my house who isn't a hacker can press the power button and pick up the remote and select things to watch/listen to. The keyboard and mouse is also usually stashed away and only comes out when I'm playing steam. Portal 2 on a 42" screen is loads of fun for your inner ear I can tell you:)
I also have an original XBOX running the latest backport (XBMC4XBOX) and that is soon (when I get a 360) going to live in my children's bedroom having being loaded full of Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks, er, "backups" to replace the essentially dead collection of VHS tapes they have. And also so if I fancy playing Halo I can just fire it up.
Seen a lot of "TV is a distraction" posts on this topic, but the only TV I have on is rolling news channels and it keeps my ears occupied and provides a welcome distraction at other times to compensate for the lack of people to talk to, does that count?
Yep this, hell, I couldn't take a day off sick without being tasked to deal with the children. If *she* was that sick I'd usually take a day off work to cover for her, but if I was in the house with two broken legs I'd probably have been expected to do some plumbing. We're divorced now.

That'd be a good enough resolution to work out the color(s) of the box you took the cigarette out of

Alternating frame? Both frames (left/right) are projected at the same time at full 24FPS, the polarized filters in the glasses separate the light.

this is UK law, not US law but direct from OFCOM: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/enforcement/spectrum-enforcement/guidance
