I'm not sure you really understand the concepts here. Replacing a patch with a higher res would be possible (but you'd have to resample the image first, basically) - and would either be incredibly lossy or perfectly unlossy, depending on your viewpoint.
From a compression standpoint there's no reason to consider a high res replace as more lossy as anything else. From a recognition standpoint, whether you're doing it high res or not, this would be a method that throws out image details for others... but that doesn't have anything to do with the resolution. So this is a lossy image manipulation, but not really a compression...
My thoughts on this went along the lines of "I'd like to have this pic as my wallpaper, but it's only 300x200 pixels". Essentially the case when you want something that looks good, but don't care about accuracy.
If any hole in the image can be filled with a part of another pic, can't you compress an image by replacing one piece at a time with a reference to a patch? Also, how about replacing with patches of higher resolution than the original? I realize it would all be technically lossy as hell, but the compression artifacts should not be very noticable to the human eye, right? Additionally, how about using this for movie compression? Filling in based on info from previous and next frame.
You may be the first poster in Slashdot history to actually have a reasonable motivation for rejecting a study based on sample size. I need to remember the math for this.
Normally by this time of day I have dozens of junk emails, but not today. If this scum-bag wasn't doing all of the spam, his arrest sure scared off the others.
Just random fluctuations. My score today is 15 in my Hotmail inbox and 5 in my Junk mail folder.
There have been noises about the same thing here in Finland. It's been seen mostly as an alternative to unemployment benefits and other forms of support that are currently hidden behind a huge beaurocracy that eats up half the cash and is hard to navigate for those who need it.
I have no problem with government levying taxes and distributing the cash to those in need. I do have a problem with big business getting the rights to determine how it's spent.
Mary Wilson, who with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard formed the original Supremes, said the exemption was unfair and forced older musicians to continue touring to pay their bills.
Yes, it's unfair that people are forced to work to pay their bills. There should be free money for all with no incentive to work. In a perfect world, congress should force everyone to pay record companies money, so record companies could distribute the wealth in whatever way they see fit.

Makes me wonder whether I missed something by taking German...
Is it really too much? The average torrent release of a popular TV show spreads to hundreds of users at an average of perhaps a megabit / second. University networks can probably handle that load without problem right now.
There is nothing which interests me on television anyway which I can't find somewhere else. And the rest? Game shows, reality shows,... I couldn't care less about them!
Almost by definition, peer-to-peer networks contain what the users want. Shows no-one is interested in are left out.
Incidentally, watching anything I want whenever I want is exactly the service I'd be willing to pay for. Go figure.
Being "relatively defenseless families without lawyers or ready means to pay" is not justification for violating copyright. I don't have the an attorney on retainer or the means to pay, but that doesn't mean I can speed or violate traffic laws with impunity. "But judge, I can't afford the ticket so I shouldn't be prosecuted" won't fly very far in court. People in this country need to start taking responsibility for themselves.
You presuppose that they are guilty, which is not the way the law works. Innocent until proven guilty, and these students have not been proven guilty. In addition, they have a right to defend themselves regardless of whether they are innocent or guilty. As things stand, they don't have the resources to defend themselves. The professor is proposing that they be given the resources to do so.
Even the guilty should be able to defend themselves in court.
The parts referred to as "good" DMCA are literally the exceptions. If caches and such used for infringement by third parties were illegal, the law would quickly be changed. This is a case where the exception reinforces the rule.
To add to the previous posts, the only LOTR characters alive in the times the Silmarillion (mainly) covers are Sauron, Galadriel and Elrond. Gandalf in the form of a maia (demigod, angel, something like that) but no more than a short mention if even that.
An employee suggested to me that we load Casino Royale on a few machines here as an evaluation. I was skeptical at first but he explained the benefits of using it for our employee's day-to-day tasks. So I decided to let him install the disk onto 5 machines to see how the users got on. Besides, our Blueray servers had been running fine up till now, why not try it on the client machines?
Once he'd got the machines up and running with Casino Royale we let the users try it out. It all seemed fine to start with: Daniel Craig was a pretty good replacement for Pierce Brosnan and the users could still do their work as normal.
Alas it did not stay that way. After a few days, I had lost count of the number of complaints received from users who could not find things they were used to (Moneypenny even!??) or tasks they could not perform that they previously could while watching Bond movies. The final straw came when one employee lost several hours work when Bond shot that guy in the back and he spewed coke all over his keyboard.
I made the employee delete Casino Royale from the machines and lets just say he's not with us anymore.

I may have to actually RTFA this time.
What are you looking for, a full site rip?
If you find it, could you set it up so I can stream what I want instead of having to download the whole thing?
5. PROFIT!
This is why so few coders ever get rich...
Thank you.

Neither submitters nor editors RTFA; this is the first science news in this section.
It's a statement written by Fermilab themselves, yet it's anti-US because it seems to be Fermilab's fault?
They must be Democrat lefties, the whole bunch of them.

Live interaction with the performers would be difficult to pirate. Unless it's being streamed from a ship.

Is this your case? So your bill is enough to make even the RIAA choke and you show up on Slashdot saying it was "dirt cheap"?
So, is it more or less than they sued AllOfMp3 for?
I agree that copy right holders are entitled to be paid for their work.
Does anyone else see the hidden error in this? Their work != the artists' work.
