I've listened to 1 director's comments. It was for the bourne identity. At one part he said he wanted more swears, but the pg13 rating only allowed 3 swears, and eventually he only ended up using 1. They still had more, but that was in german.
Oh, I was just listening to "An operator's manual" and there they censored bitch in sonofabitch, which seemed weird, as that is the (collection of words) I've noticed swears have been replaced with in movies, again and again.
I'll blame this all on the victorians, because they started it with fucking up the kama sutra. (The christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad {mr N})
Shortly after, in 1883, Burton's Kama Shastra society, a kind of sexual anthropological club, published the Kama Sutra for private circulation. The book caused such a furor in sexually repressive Victorian England (imagine, depicting women enjoying sex - the very idea!), that the book was banned and not published for public consumption again until 1963.
But even today, the legacy of Victorian censorship lives on. Many editions of the Kama Sutra still lack the full listing and explanation of the various sexual positions that the ancients knew -- rendering the dull pedantic translations that much more dull and lifeless. Furthermore, many of the inaccuracies of the "Burton" translation (for example, the pervasive bias against women asserting their own will and desires) still color modern editions of the text, prolonging our own cultural stereotype of the demure consenting woman and the lusty assertive man.
Note: the discovery channel allows porn and gore whenever since it's for "educational" purpose, which is the same reason (at least in sweden) reality-shows can show people in showers / bedrooms around the clock (the swedish word is "doku-såpor" - documentary soap-operas).

I was going to review it for the first time, but figured a friendly neighborhood nazi would help out. Still, the first sentence sounds weird... an oxymoron? Let's review!
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a pacifist mass-murderer. Or... non-blood-stained-hands-mass-murderer. Maybe. But that's a lot of law-stuff, and IAAPH and all.
In other news, e2 (who I trust above anything else) libels Charles Manson as a "mass murderer". Now even if he killed a bunch of people (as it admits he only "quite possibly never" did), he digged Timothy Leary, which is cool, the Beatles, which is cool, and made music himself... of which I like "Mechanical Man". So that's a whole bunch of cool, and... uh... politicans are bad, they kill more, and stuff, and they're not cool, never added something to society, never enjoyed anything beyond having more power, yeah, add quote "the military does not start wars. Politicians start wars" (William Westmoreland). (The committee would also like to recommend Corrosion of Conformity - Dirty Hands Empty Pockets)
If Sony went under, thousands would lose their jobs.
I'm sure the recording / film industry tried to pull this? They have are a billion (?) dollar industry, and if their stock doesn't rise as much, they say "people lose their jobs, hackers and pirates make people lose jobs!". If the company served the people working there, and wasn't just a big blob of power (which is controlled by a few, though), then maybe it would be different.
Well the comparison should be with 192kbps cbr mp3 vs ogg. The only time you really see differences is with streaming audio - 128kbps mp3 sounds worse than 64kbps of the newer formats (vbr mp3, ogg, aac).
(And as for the 192 comparison - what you should use is vbr with the average bitrate of 192 - with this - if you have a mono track, it will turn to 110kbps average, and for a whole cd the average bitrate can still be 192, but some (not as complicated) tracks can be 160, and others 220 (where yes - 192 wouldn't be enough), and even the 160 track can have some parts which are at 360)
As for the gif/png comparisons, it's not as much different as the 128 vs 64 deal. (Better comparison would be gif and jpg - back in the days people dithered true-colour pics to "web palette" - it was horrendous and gave huge filesizes)
He is only 1) stupid 2) stupid 3) stupid. I mean if he was a least bit smart, he would control everything by himself, but since he has an incredible stupidity, there is everyone else around him that tells him what to do and say.
Ok - woah. The.avi illustrates what "4D" means - compositing all the views gotten - a virtual viewing space can be created - you can look to the sides and also back and forth - low/wide angle (Do note that this is in low amounts - kind a bullet-time lite, to impress friends?) - and having the whole image in focus.
Now, the Wired article - could herald the end of fuzzy, poorly lit photos. POORLY LIT? I saw no mention of that improving.
Is the Wired article for real? The student, Ren Ng, ran out of patience with taking pictures the traditional way - adjusting the distance between the camera lens and sensor or film before snapping each shot. Dude, autofocus?
A camera equipped with Ng's device wouldn't need the motors that focus lenses, so the camera would have fewer moving parts. This sounds good though, because autofocus can be a slow and noizy annoyance.
Would o been nice instead of.avi to have it in Macromedia Flash, where you can change zoom as you wanted. (And compared to 77mb - with vastly lower filesize?)
"4D light field" sounds interesting though, if only for the "4D" part. I'm thinking and I can't really come up with anything it would be useful for, for the average photographer. I am though reminded of a cam (by the company that did Painter / Kais Power Tools [and eventually sold it all away to concentrate on some web technology...]) which took 2 photos at once, 2 lenses, was a horizontal thing, anyway, the 2nd photo was a 3d image - a radar kinda image. It's a shame we have 5.1 - 3d sound, and still only 2d images - it seems the only technology is in higher reses, not higher dimensions?
Except the image will just be goo since it's a compressed JPG at 70 quality and 4:4 subsampling. (No, this is just a whine that all cheap cameras don't have.png option, and I wouldn't see why with new tech this would change, and yes, I'm just whining)
Non-trusted users get much more detailed oversight.
That sounds lovely. I hate the inclusion of the w-word in the title, as it's the complete opposite of how they do it. Wiktionary is a joke - it needs major database backing - it's not much easier to edit than a normal webpage, I think "house" was mentioned as one of the best entries - and it's just a mess. (I mean stuff like crosslinking translations between different languages)
Another (good) point is "at which point the editor will put the term up for question on the site's discussion forum" - the wikimedia not having even the simplest of simple bulletinboard systems (try adding a message on a bit large discussion on a 800kb page).
On one of the many Wikipedia discussions here, I heard a suggestion which was better than After the editor approves the entries, they are "live", namely that just like opensource, there would be "stable" versions. That would be the one you see when you go to the page, but you could also view older versions (which is of course possible now - but with this it would be better - another thing would be the equilant of "forks" - different writeups on the same subjects [especially on controversial subjects], or just simpler or more complicated versions), and anyone could edit the page, and it would be shown only when it was thought to be stable.
The only thing patents could have done to the development of this technology was obstruct it. Luckily that doesn't seem to have happened.
Well if the average percieved income of patenting a device was say $100 million, you could of spent a lot more in research. (How it is with the medical industry, I think?)
I actually tried 3 antivirus / spyware tools and also CWShredder and none of them did it. (They did repeatedly say they succeeded)
It's much the same as removing cheats from online games, there are 10 devs trying to fix it and 1000 punksters trying to break it. (Ok... that's not on the same level...)
I'll just invoke TANSTAAFL, and say that ads and donations are a related concept, and I wish more sites did the latter. (Note: 1) donations: but then we have the problem with lying about how money you need. 2) Ads: I don't know of any sites which mention how much their ad revenue is)
M$ software will suck as ad supported because.... it's $, see the $? Google will do it better! And it will be free! And beta! And ad supported! This logic thing is complicated...

Scientifically, the risk of getting caught topped off with not actually having been caught triggers a dopamine release which makes people feel good.
Which almost rivals getting laid. (dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun...)

If you do really care about writing so much, I would recommend:
1) Study to be a teacher.
2) Do a full critique of the entire post.
Still a little confused...
COTS products are designed to be implemented easily into existing systems without the need for customization.
This is what people mean by user-friendly, with Linux you need to compile(?) the app / driver / kernel before you can use it?
