see. Therefore: Anyone else who is a pro MUST be using all the same programs you do. And because you aren't already using free programs, they must not possibly be able to do the same job. For example: I use Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. One's for Mac, the other's for PC (but will be for Mac again soon). So, uh, how does that fit with that... y'know, view?
Chances are, this won't make me switch away from those two, but I will definitely be keeping my eye on it. Maybe in five years or so we'll see it get polished to the point of rivaling FCP.
Right - I'm not saying it's wrong or right, but people are thinking about sentencing the wrong way. Personally, I think the real punishment would be forcing restitution by the convicted, a certain amount for each and every offense.
If that means the bastard's having to do 12 hours of community service/week for the rest of his life, so be it. I'm totally down with that one.
Really. Every time a misleading or fraudulent e-mail was sent, that's one crime. Now, say you do a crime that's worth one year in jail. Do that a hundred and one times, that's a hundred and one years, seperately.
Don't think of it as one fraud being given a century; consider it as one fraud, one year. Once you're done with that one - hey, you gotta pay for this one, too, and so on, and so forth.
Murder and rape - you get bitch-motherfucking-slapped just for that act and that act alone. Fraud, you're going to get a little nick and cut for each time. Death by a thousand cuts, rather than the broadsword you'd get for worse offenses.
Whether it's a better technology is irrelevant: Sony is being way more restrictive on content; HD DVD is not.
That's where Sony will fall. If they stop trying to put a stranglehold on what can be placed on their format, they'll win. But as long as they act like Sony, they're going to lose.
Sure, but then that comes back to the uploader who - after the shameful act is ceased - has the responsibility to take down the incriminating videos. And that person who committed the shameful act, is shamed, and repents as it were, has the right to go up to the uploader and say, "okay, I fixed the problem. Please take it down."
That's not how it always works, or even most of the time, but that's really what should go on.
Even if the iPhone fails, I hope they realize that the 16:9 screen is needed for the video iPod. They know people were getting up for that thing.
I think the gamble may be that because there was so much interest in it, people will buy the iPhone to replace their iPod so they can have that screen. Which I don't think will happen.
However, really, please Steve. 16:9 video iPod. Please?
Very simple: Han Solo's character has been explored. He started as a rugged mercenary, turned into a softy by the Princess. Saved the galaxy, etc. - Solo's done.
Indiana Jones? Now, that's a character that can go on a number of different adventures. Each movie is relatively self-contained. Come to think of it, Indiana Jones is really the James Bond for the US. Sean Patrick Flannery's Young Indy was very well done.
As for why Harrison would want to be Indy instead of Solo, well, it probably has a lot to do that it's Spielberg directing him, and not Lucas. Carrie Fisher was interviewed a while back (the exact place escapes me), and stated very plainly that Lucas believes he doesn't need actors to tell his story. He can get anyone and make it work.
Natalie Portman is a great actress, I love her in a lot of different roles. But somehow, Lucas made her, Samuel L. Jackson, Hayden Christensen (who I actually like in other roles), fucking Saruman, and everyone else appear flat, wooden, and/or whiny.
Who the fuck would choose to work under that, when they can pick Spielberg and be guaranteed a good showing? Even his "failures" usually come out "the actors did well," as was said about Minority Report.
Frankly, I call BS. Have you done a poll to determine this?
Yeah. It's called "opening my fucking eyes." You should look it up. Get outside of your basement and go speak with people who don't hang out in Starbucks. You don't have to like it, but the reality is that if embryotic stem cells weren't considered a child, it would be widespread and paid for already, with Congress easily overridding Bush.
Again, I am for doing this. But I also don't sit around and wonder why it isn't happening. It's not that hard to figure out, and has nothing to do with a few politicians.
The donor's unborn child? An embryo is not a child.
Inputting your own perception and beliefs. But ask the average street person, they'll say it is. Or the average pregnant woman.
Sorry - I'm liberal when it comes to stem cells, too - but such questions as to the start of life and when something becomes a child are answered by individuals, not groups.
I like how the Jesuits operate, really.
"God does not fit into the laws of physics - stop trying."
Just makes things simple. Science people believe what they do, religious people believe what they do, and some people can believe both without contradiction.
Both of these views are really valid.
Some OS's are still inherently more stable and secure than Windows - Linux and OS X - but the prevalance of Windows users just magnifies the problem.
If everyone suddenly made the Mac or Linux switch, would there eventually be malware problems with those operating systems? Sure, nothing's 100% secure, but I would say the targets would be a lot more hardened naturally if the switch were to be made.
From the links given:
"According to the painstaking research of Stephen Beck of Drinkers Against Mad Mothers, only 500 innocent Americans are killed each year by drunk drivers. As many Americans are killed in railway accidents each year."
Care to spend some time reading instead of talking? At the very least to realize what you're arguing against.
Actually, it's not. Because if you RTFT(hread), you would've seen the whole argument already gone through and realized that the "17,000" alcohol-related accidents also includes accidents where non-drivers had alcohol, including pedestrians, and not the driver.
Well, as with all things, there will be a new generation of social networking.
The buzzword may be new(er), but the act of using the Internet to connect with other people (locally or globally) is, well, pretty much what people do on the Internet.
(Porn is still a connection, just one-way and occasionally painful.)
There was Usenet, the short-lived Geocities era, e-mail, IRC/Webchat, and then we've moved on to LiveJournal and all its permutations, then to Myspace, Facebook, RSS feeds. People will recognize the successes and failures of the current era and move on. It's how it works.
Or maybe Myspace won't become a dinosaur and do a massive 2.0 update that wipes away all those horrid profiles and deal with spam better than it has.
The problem with Myspace is that its solution for the clogging of its tubes is by... yeah, you guessed it, adding more shit.

They don't pee there, anymore! They just stop peeing.
God, I hope John Roberts has TiVo.
You don't have your kitchen stove on 24/7, however. For servers, that amount of heat for that long would kill a company.
If that means the bastard's having to do 12 hours of community service/week for the rest of his life, so be it. I'm totally down with that one.

Guess what? That's where they'll lose.
Why?

I think that can put to rest this list's place in this article. Or the list altogether.
No one has dealt with directly or worked with this company. No one that's posted on that list, anyhow.
#45, Department of Defense? Yeah, typical Internet ranting. (Whether it's deserved ranting or not is irrelevant.)
Yeah. It's called "opening my fucking eyes." You should look it up. Get outside of your basement and go speak with people who don't hang out in Starbucks.
