Obviously you haven't seen the difference between 35mm and 4x5, ccd has a loooooong way to go, I can make undeniably stunning 40"x50" prints (in my lab). my formats 4x5 & 8x10 will be around for many years, and without much trouble I can make the film if I want, just like they did 100 years ago. Don't mean to sound sarcastic because ccd's are great for many things, just not art.
Thank you RIAA, I have a nephew that keeps "infecting" their home computers with this crap, the days of free music are gone, and so are the days of "honest" bbs filesharing. shame he didn't have a computer 14 years ago...
I've personally tracerouted and Whois'ed (arin) the phishers on a few occasions, 1 out of 10 actually come from the US, of course the telephone calls and emails I send to their service providers *always* results in a blame-game scenario. Either they "only lease IP's" (so what, do your job and trace them from your end, call the proper auth.) or I get the "we're not responsible for content." crap from low-rung admins that don't care. Even tried over the phone saying "revoke their access or face my wrath." threats, that sometimes gets an "oh, ill look into it" but frankly the hosts just don't care, they let phishers set-up 10mb web accounts with half of chase, or half of paypal mirrored and don't even check them for content; as long as they pay their $5.95/mo to rip people's passwords and account #'s they turn a blind eye.
On a similar thread (a few months ago) someone had posted the idea of making banks and financiers fully responsible for this, I do honestly think this IS the only way to solve the phishing problem, I really cant blame the sysadmins, I don't know who else they could call that would actually enforce law on this (besides removing their sites...). Just seems to be a severe lack of responsibility starting at the hosts leading all the way up to the feds...
can't wait till I get one traced from a host in my locality, I'll personally cut their mains.
I used to use X10 in my studio for light control, I'll tell you what, It works quite well, never had a problem with it. I controlled 7 different "zones" with one controller which *was* a nightmare to set-up, the $19 outlets, $45 controller (wasn't even wireless). I do like the technology, if I had a new construction house built, I'd get x10 in it; it's been around for years and years people still don't know much or anything about it, maybe if places like "rad-shack" and "pricey-depot" would push it more (as in educating people, not hard selling) they could get this into homes and everyone could use it (even your mom, just don't let her wire it).
Maybe he should stick to web design, If I could "whip-out" a site like that, I too could make an hourly wage!
Too bad I take real photographs, if this idea IS real, It surely couldn't handle 250mb scans(I never thumbnail).
Amen.... every good movie that's ever been made, has been; lining up an hour of cgi and 30 minutes of dialog:
100 million.
what ever happened to make-up, and squibs, and for sake of it: minatures. even though cgi looks great nowadays, keep it in the videogames, that's what its for. Seems like big-budget hollywood cuts too many corners and listens to polls and market strategits too much, I remember when pg-13 was invented (for Gremlins) and when "R" movies were scary.
So I wonder just how many credit cards he needed to max out to win? (mind you he comes from one of the richest counties in all of the US)
Thankfully his 2 million dollar house and seventy-thousand plus dollar mercedes benz makes him poorer than me.
AOL has just single-handedly turned the "ISP for dummies" into the "ISP for the rich and trendy".
So on top of seemingly first-rate customer service, Dutifully high prices (compared to modern broadband) and a limitless supply of "limited access". I have to pay more for my laptop running Debian because they have to put a 56k winmodem in it.
"Why does a flashlight need 4 D-cell batteries, they must have an agreement with acme battery co. and general light bulb company..."
Just means I still wont pay for my "latest" copy of windows, (from 3.0 and up I have archived) it means nothing, sure it'll be great (for windows) but I'm not gonna rush out and get it, and XP will be sold on PC's for like 3-4 more years I expect. By that time I'll have my own "copy".
Hate to say it..
I'd expect a ruling like that if he put labels on them and was trying to distribute them, but when does making a backup of files (sick child porn in his case)mean your "making" something original. Sure he is making unique content (with my b/w goggles on) but something as simple as me "making" copies of data cd's and drivers and other archives I "collect" every month doesn't mean I'm "creating" anything other than a copy of a set of files I downloaded, just like moving them to a different hdd; plain and simple.
BTW Does this cover Tapes? cause I got lots of DDS sitting around with gigs of "original content" on them...
Grrr... my fireplace just ate my cds and tapes...;)
