  1. Re:Vimeo on Best Way To Distribute Video Online? · · Score: 0

    YUP, vimeo is fast becoming the Apple of streaming video, while youtube is straightup Windows 98 First Edition, outside of an increase in file size acceptance, Youtube, licks. As far as speed, if your doing resource intensive things like any video, graphics work, Vimeo's speed shouldn't give you any more brain damage.

  2. Is it legal to list how to manually rid Vista? on One Third of New PCs Downgraded To XP? · · Score: 0

    I don't know the model but i'm in a band with a guy who has an hp laptop that came pre installed with Vista, let's just say, the chipset does or doesn't have xp driver (i doubt it does) how does one do this, go from Vista back to XP, simply due to the fact that most programs we want to use and the soundcard we have, a nice Tascam card, I just want it to work simply, like me, can anyone provide a useful link to accommodate this request. thanks, Vista, i heard its not in beta yet, actually. 7?

  3. PERFECTION on What's New in Blade Runner - The Final Cut? · · Score: 0

    Having seen the original on vhs when it was first released, i was too young to care about the voiceover. Watching the director's cut i thought it was cooler. Still clueless though about the whole thing, i knew the replicants were going to get killed. That's about it. It was only cause it was on directv once that i watched it again with my post post post adult brain and realized Deckard is a replicant. Basically it clicked with the first scene to M Emmet Walsh's (Raising Arizona, the terrible Mind of a Married Man from HBO as the editor). He says, your not cops, your little people, you know why your here, you know the deal." Then Deckard is all, why would they want to come back?" in reference to the other Nexians, and Walsh says again basically, thats why we got you here," cause initially, when Deckard is eating, what's his name, Olmos' character has to persistantly insist for him to come, and Deckard clearly feels he doesn't have to. As far as is it hard to follow without the voice over, prolly no harder than reading this response. Convoluted at first, not easy, however once committed, there is a lot of sense to be had.

    everyone loves bill hicks, but like everything, things evolve, his opinions of the limited definition of advertising would have as well, i would imagine. advertisings online isn't like advertising offline, you can be as fair or not as possible. imagine this, a person goes into the library and xeroxes an article, (xerox wasn't always a verb like google or youtube, where a service is a pronoun)anyway, the article is 5 pages .25 cents a page, the dollar twenty five is divided between the xerox company, the library, the publisher and the author, the user is given a discount for their research effort. why can't this happen online? whats the problem, its advertising, its also a recontexualized content promotion, by default. no one intended it, therefore its not trad adverting, it post relevant contextualizing combine with creative commons to generate revenue, transitively.

    i've said this will happen here on so many occassions as more and more of what i say happens, and i continue to get no points, only points to the fact that technical are nothing without creatives. sure the inertia of knowledge makes it appear like your doing something, but really, your not. My clip called Pay Per Bit or Subscription will reference Miracle On 34th St as the ultimate 21st century content management program, basic reasoning, sure no one wants to pay for anything, however frequent downloaders with brains are the only ones who can truly appreciate the occasional need to Have to pay for Some things, the content creators just have to realize this and we'll be on our to understanding downloading as nothing more than integral advertising in the form of promo material, the barter system in the form of testimonials is going to surface, Radiohead's idea for the new album won't backfire, it's just going to make being a consumer more difficult for a change and sophisticate people, who let's face it, overall, need that.

  10. Re:more info in the summary on Intel Releases Mashups for the Masses · · Score: 0

    First off, obviously if intel is using the term "mash up", it's not referring to DangerMouse and The Beatles. Clearly that, if nothing is else, is linguistically, an engineerial certainty. The term mash up is essentially the word collage but dressed synactically in the parlance of our times, to quote a movie. A Multimedia collage outside of mash ups though no less known and well understood by those who used a program called, Wrapster, is the Kazaa, Morpheous, Audio Galaxy (rhap) and WinMX is the AMV, anime music video, all of this and South Park style compositing, are mash ups. Intel is basically just making a collage of cookies, which are catagorized based on popularity of query words, for web sites. Thus seemless partnered advertising, complete wiki economics. I will be posting a video collage about this whole story as expressed through multimedia video editing, which clearly is remaining no less synonymous to the letter "M" more so for Mcluhan rather than MTV, ok yea, MeTV, essentially. And to keep it going the last line before this and everything else...free. for now though, marvel at what blank media can do

  11. video collage is the answer on College Librarians Urged To Play Video Games · · Score: 0

    simply put, based on query the collage starts, including related or more often than not unrelated cookies influencing the collage. As the multimedia collage unfolds the GUI is three buttons, D for Data A for Audio and V for Video, the controller has these three buttons included and the user controls the edits per second, like a pitch control on a deck, as well as the transition lengths on another pitch control like device. as the collage unfolds the buttons are used to mark whatever the user finds interesting, each one nested in a subscreen around the main screen each screen per letter of alphabet. they can refine their search as they continue in it, i responded to the site where this article link takes you, maybe it will get shown maybe not. either way, this idea has been in my head for eleven years, glad to see its inevitable surfacing.

  12. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 0

    the only people who will make money from this is microsoft and that is only in the long term, just like vhs and vinyl, core users keep industry determined obsolescence from truly occurring. Difference is XP is too useful for too many people already. Most people do what they need to with it, it will affect the vocal minority of hardcore gamers, thats it. For surfing the Net, Vista isn't going to open any doors that will keep anyone hanging around. Just because it looks like an antidepressant version of an iMac doesn't mean its nearly as innovative. the people will provide the needed R and D microsoft requires for Vista to be adapted, remember there was 98, Millenium and 2000, XP seemed to take the benefit of the frequent OS ye ol soft produced during that period and SP2 allowed it to catch up to ipod HD and USB devices. Vista will do what XP can and they can then zero in on the hardware benefits that aren't so apparent after the obsolete features of XP are completely absorbed verbatim by Vista.

  14. We're at the point on Canadian Bill C-416 to Require Wiretapping · · Score: 0

    where, the reality of a person being either of the "threats" used to endorse this law is so rare, that, either they'll never be found out, OR, they fucking will be. no amount of technology is going to nip anything in the bud, one person is random and 99.9 percent of the time, containable. That which can't be contained is planned. My point is even if the bill is passed the snoops will misinterpret and misconstrue virtually all the information they acquire if this law is passed. Anyone remember Kurt Russell in Used Cars, where he basically has to make enough money to get a seat in Congress in the United States. I mean, anyone can be a politician and if there is anyone who shouldn't be around powerful technology, it is politicians. This law is another case of losers losing hard, I almost want this stuff to happen just to prove how stupid it is, and not to mention usefuckingless for anything other than the shits and giggles of future civil servants, the karma being created from spying is going to be awesome for those initiating it. I would imagine no one here will find any of what i've typed useful...tough and more importantly, your welcome.

    if downloads are faster, uploads don't need to be, while increasing uploads would allow us to not have to increase speed, so there's that riddle. and application benefiting from faster speeds for average consumers, would only be like a Media On Demand context. in my opinion this is the only thing that would change, getting a movie in one minute or less would signigicantly, change things, getting an entire dvd collection of a show or multiple titles of anything is five minutes, this would obviously change things, but its still just media on demand, NOW! if this applys to the no doubt highly radioactive MOBile Devices, THAT and ONLY that is where the applications for faster speeds will truly be felt, right now download speeds are fast enough that the effect for downloading is like authoring a tv guide. faster speeds in specialized areas, i'm going to assume already have faster than average download speeds. so, yea, it would make a large difference, and that is why it won't happen til it the cost of borsht and at that point uploading speeds won't really matter but will inevitably be faster yet proportionate to what they already are.
