It also doesn't help that they release DVDs so VERY fast now. I have to wait less than a month sometimes and I can watch in my home theatre instead of the noisy/crowded/expensive city one. I don't keep up on movie releases and sometimes I'll idly wonder when a movie is coming out, only to find it on dvd at my local video rental. Why go to the theatre anymore?
I live in florida and cellphones, babies, and high prices are still here. No searches, laptops, or middle-of-show ads though.
I really dislike the fact that they have things like 'moviewatcher network' and so forth prior to the film...instead of a bunch of trailers now they just have crappy, annoying adverts. I always show up late to movies now and just suffer with a less-good seat.
I had the misfortune of seeing a digital film and no nooooooooooooooooo
That was some god-awful quality. It hurt to watch. It was grainy and washed out and had poor focus and basically every problem that comes from making digital movies without spending all the time necessary to bring them to the natural quality of film.
Man, most major universities require you to submit to having a special account created on your machine to gain access to the (port-secure,IPsec,packetfirewalled,certificate based) network. That account MUST be localadmin, and thus can override you, and so forth. It is the only way to run a network that isn't completely ratcheted down and not get floods of spyware, spam zombies, etc.
Ah but those great movies didn't all gross as well as some movies you or I might consider to be piss-poor. Let's do some numbers, shall we?
Capote, after 22 weeks in theater, made 23 million
The Pink Panther, after 3 weeks in theater, made 60 million.
Another example!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, opening at 8million, made a total of 34 million in the states
King Kong, opening at 50 million, made 216 million in the states
checking here, we see the highest return on a low budget film were films like the blair witch, or titanic. We also see that 'the boondock saints', which I consider to be a fantastic film, is on the biggest flops list! (hard to figure how they got up the money to make a sequel...)
so with ridiculous things like the 'warner bros independent films' line coming out, indie means only a film which has some cred and seems cooler to people.
indie films are ending up with big budgets and big names and are not our saving grace, nor (sadly) are simply making higher quality films. lucas doesn't know what he's talking about.
Hm? As far as 'PC's go, under windows OR linux, I've never not understood the really quite basic steps to changing network params.
On the flip side, the Macs on my network frequently stop talking to anyone but each other. So elitist!
As I understand it this isn't a true whitelist scheme -- you will still be relying on AOL's shoddy spam filters
The reason they are supposedly charging now to get direct access through the spam blocker (which is BS anyway..any company which is mass mailing is a spammer, zombie or not, and ought to be stopped) is to help keep the spam lists up to date. So the argument is "oh woe, we don't make enough money to keep one of our primary services up to date".
Fucking bullshit, man. So what if AOL profits? They're profiting on letting you have MORE spam. The same percentage of zombies will probably get through, and now people who pay get direct access to your inbox.
Hm Im fairly sure some of those are our allies..although at the very least Cuba has been embargoed forever. What a slap in the face to the (probably non-existent) cuban coders.
Man tons of companies already charge more if you're a business. Adelphia and Comcast cable internet services, for example, will put you on business rates if they suspect you're running a business.
Ohhhh, I am prepared to receive a thousand n00b comments, but what attack vectors are directed toward winamp?
I have seen a few buffer overflow fixes in the past, with the specified fix being: update (which makes me suspicious...there's a large contingent of winamp users who prefer the pre-AOL winamp versions and refuse to update)
but I have not ever seen or heard of a computer actually having these 'exploits' compromised. Do I merely have the skewed opinion of a rarely-attacked person, or are such cases as rare as they seem to be?
I read your comment and my head began to hurt, I began to be upset that people could think this way...
until I saw you posted as AC. ACs aren't real people:D
I have played a large number of games that worked in multiple monitors, so long as the monitors all appeared as one desktop. Just change the resolution and ASPECT RATIO of the game! For example, I played Aliens Versus Predator 2 with three monitors because it had a console command for aspect ratio. Also see
Hah I bet he's a government contractor -- I am, and this sounds similar to my situation. Only difference is, I'm IT! If we had a development group, even one with an excellent track record, we certainly wouldn't just give them data center access and control. That's the whole reason we're here.
And yes, the paperwork is insane (though to be fair it's only gonna take more than a month if someone is stalling you) but there's no real way around it.
actually a lot only block non-authenticated 25...so you can use your ISP provided email and no other..
this only protects in that it allows us to trace spammers to a registered account

The liveassistance feature, IIRC, is just a windows remote desktop (RDP designed by citrix) set to shared mode.

Like visual studio? Thanks, I want to 1) understand my code and 2) have it work. .NET programmers.
Ugh, fucking visual studio and fucking

1) few windows users run in LUA 2) windows accounts aren't true LUA, and can pretty frequently write to the registry, if not the windows directory.

ahaha seriously what??
30 years? how optimistic.
the age of privacy has ended?
you're going to hell.
