No, but he co-wrote the screenplay, directed and co-edited all three films(at the same time) and helped set up a company specifically to do the special effects. For him, it was a 10 year project, 24/7(literally). Watch the extras and you'll see he basically lived the film for the entire project. It was only because he put so much effort into it that the film was such a great success, or even got off the ground at all.
... I really don't know what you mean by saying that in 1949 people really thought that "TV and Radio were never going to catch on." Did I misread? Please explain...
In this country(UK) at least, the real significance of television didn't really catch on until the queen's coronation in 1953. Even then people had to crowd into the house of the one person in the street that had a television. (a slight exageration perhaps but not far from the truth).
As far as I know, that was the first major outside broadcast the BBC had done. In 1949 all of the UKs television was broadcast live from one studio in London.
Although the 2nd world war had boosted the BBC's reputation for radio broadcasting, television was still seen as a novelty. Many people still got their news from newspapers, radio and Pathe news in the cinema.
Remember, television signals only started broadcasting in the UK in 1932 (experimental) and was stopped again for the war. It only started again in mid 1946.
I'm sure it was John Reith, one of the BBC's founders, that said something like: "Television will never take off".
... the only known recording of a live Woody Guthrie performance...
In 1949, recordings of live concerts were extremely rare. Live performances were rarely recorded. They were transmitted on the radio or TV and that was it. Call it short sighted but people really thought back then that TV and Radio were never going to catch on.
... the whole way it was set up, and the way the subjects figured out what word went with what picture, had a lot to do with context...
Surely the experiment was more to do with learning out of context. If anything the experiment is not about context at all. It's about their brains being able to go through huge amounts of data(orders of magnitude more than learning one word at a time) in order to learn words.
We learn from this that toddlers brains are extremely quick at processing data. Probably much quicker than we realise. Also they can do this much more quickly than any super-computer.
... Some of us respect intellectual property and the artists who created it...
So do I but it's only big-name artists like Bono and Sting etc... that make much money from royalties. For most bands, the record company makes the money. Copyright laws are supposed to protect the artists, not the record companies.
True to a certain extent. AB could probably handle O, but AB couldn't handle A or B (just the same as A couldn't handle B or vice versa). Having the A markers yourself, as an AB, doesn't neutralise the problems with the B vs A clashwith your B markers and their A markers).
Certainly, when reciving blood, if she was AB positive, she can be a universal recipient. But that would be for an emergency blood transfusion. In an organ transplant situation it would be too risky.
Just as a side note. The problems with different blood types in blood transfusions is less to do with rejection by the immune system and more to do with the blood cells co-aggulating. With a transplant the problem is more to do with rejection by the immune system.
Yeh it's all very well having cheap tuners, but they are useless if the are you live in doesn't have dull coverage until after the switchover (certain areas of the UK).
As someone who has received a renal Tx and who also has a degree in Anat.,Phys.&Biochem. I have 2 questions.
If her immune system has been replaced by her donors, won't her other organs/tissues (her own) be rejected by her new (her donor's) immune system?
They gave her a liver from someone with a different blood type?!? I know other markers as well as blood type are taken into account (and in hepatic Tx urgency is another factor), but I thought a blood type match was the minimum requirement.
... Too many people are sloppy for us to make allowances for things like that....
No wonder IT depts get a bad name when there are people around with that attitude. I'm sure you say the same thing to the Chief Executive after you've shut his computer down and he has lost work.
Remeber, we are there to allow people to carry out there work more efficiently. Too many people in IT assume they own the network.
I have to say, I would choose not to believe it. One look at the content of the call(eg IE3 crashing on windows 95) and the tech guy would dismiss the call.
As someone who has loved hhgg since the radio play, I liked the film. The script was, in fact, mostly written and approved by DA before he died. If DA liked it who am I to disagree.
You paid for the connection, you are responsible for it. If someone uses it to download illegal content who are the police going to chase? The person who actually carried out the download (effectively untrace-able) or the person who owns, and is responsible for the connection.
The ISP will have a record of particular URIs being accessed from your connection. That will be seen as proof. Unless you can prove that someone else downloaded the content (very difficult) you will be held responsible.
One thing not mentioned (particuarly with the magnetic induction system) is how pacemakers are affected.
At least with MRI scanners there are notices everywhere about people with pacemakers. If these things become widespread people with pacemakers are going to have to avoid a lot of places.
Flash is on the very edge of being proprietary(if, at all). Considering it can be used in linux/windows/mac/mobile/palmtop and firefox/opera/IE/etc..., it's almost more open than Java in that sense.
MS video is extremely proprietary. With all sorts of "Stop playing this we think you is a thief" gubbins on it as well.
I have used flash studio since version 4 (when it became more than just an animation tool) and it's been way ahead of the game since. (In version 4, you could even write "ajax-styley" code, communicating with a databse without reloading the page). You can even publish an exe, a projector file, a mac "executable" and a file for the web from absolutely identical code.
We do know that it's a physical(or chemical, which is still physical) problem in the brain. We might not know the absolute specifics, but we do know it's physical.

Real Player does not contain a Zero Day. It contains a Zero Day Vulnerability. If it did contain a Zero Day it would have been put their by real. :-)
TFS actually says:

That's exactly what the GP said.
So magnetic north is not a point of reference?
So do I but it's only big-name artists like Bono and Sting etc... that make much money from royalties. For most bands, the record company makes the money. Copyright laws are supposed to protect the artists, not the record companies.
True for blood but not normal practice for transplants.
Oops, I typed that at the end of a long day. UK is about the only non-typo in there. ;-)

Don't worry. If you wear a foil hat you will be protected!
U.S. Gallons according to google. and GBP->USD on google as well.
Hah, $3.50 per gallon?! Try £1.05 per litre (which translates to $7.84 per gallon at todays exchange rate).
Erm, isn't a wedding ring a plain band? I think you mean engagement ring. Not that I'm perpetuating the brain washing or anything.

Only on slashdot would someone consider having sex with a robot as a relationship.
No they didn't. If you RTFA, it was moved (accidentally) during the stitching process. Useess for scientific purposes, but not intentionally faked.
