Re:Cool hack, but what's the framerate

Why on gods green earth would you need 200+fps? There is NO need for that kind of framerate.. if you can see the difference between 200fps and 60 I'll be suprised.
Films run ad 24fps, TV runs at 30fps.. perhaps you could go a little faster.. but anything over that is a waste and the performance should be on making the shit on the screen look better.. not faster framerate.
And if you start talking about it going smoother or whatever that's because your shit computer can't do 30-60fps right and it's computing stuff.. it's dropping frames. And dropping frames at any speed will cause a skip and you'll probably notice some weird twitch. Just like you see shit for a split second when you're watching a movie and there's something on the film.
Yes, but if you send it back to get fixed.. they won't have these magnets anymore. So how will they fix it? Will they give me a new one without the magnet? They're not suppose to be using these magnets in anything if they lose, so would they have to destroy my equipment?
If you buy stolen car parts from a chop shop, but didn't know they were stolen, it's still illegal, and if they find out about it they'll take the car parts back and you get no money back.
Getting something that's illegal is still illegal. And an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work is illegal. --
If I have a CD and my buddy wants a copy, I can legally give him one (there's so court case that says it's okay, but I don't know where it is).
But that's a bit different then putting something online for anybody to grab. That's not really sharing with your friends, that's closer to distribution. --
I have a GPS in my car that has an okay size antenna and when I go under a bridge or where there's thick woods my signal dies. Be it only for a couple seconds, but still that would be very annoying with radio.
part of the GPL is that they don't have to give you the source when you get the binary, just that they have to give it to you if you request it. Anybody request it yet?
Piracy - piracy
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -cies
Etymology: Medieval Latin piratia, from Late Greek peirateia, from Greek peiratEs pirate

2 : robbery on the high seas
3 : the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright
5 years ago you would be hard pressed to find anything remotely good that was easy to use and open source. To do productive stuff you almost needed a totally closed source, propritary piece of software. Now we expect, almost DEMAND that everybody open their source to everything. And if they don't, then the company sucks.
Before OSX you would never have gotten to see as much (if any) of the source code to the OS you see now. Microsoft is still all closed up.
What the hell do you want! Apple to embrace say Yellow Dog Linux or Linux PPC stick all the cool OSX tools on it and give it away for nothing? Apple wants/needs to make money. They have investors and stock holders to show earnings to. As warm and fuzzy you are to code in your spare time and whatnot and give back paches, Apple doesn't have or want to do this for whatever reason. They're a company that's out to make money. --
If you make an exact copy of a DVD with CSS encryption, the person that gets that copy can't copy it without DeCSS, if you make a DVD after using DeCSS, then the person that gets that can make as many copies as they want, without using DeCSS.
The product they produce with DeCSS is much easier to distribute.
Why would you need to timeshift a DVD? You put it in whenever you want and watch it whenever you want. Explain to me how timeshifting is a valid argument for DeCSS?
What about security? I know the range is short but those logictech's use radio frequencies. No need for the key copy program, just pluck the keystrokes from the air! --
Freedon of Speech does not give you freedom to remain anonymous.
In Talley v California (1960), three of the justices said "I stand second to none in supporting Talley's right of free speech -- but not his freedom of anonymity. The Constitution says nothing about freedom of anonymous speech. "

Problem with that is.. Any genitic disease you'll just get again, butcause the clone will have it too. And if it works like car insurance they'll send it to the cheapest bidder and you'll have a dented kidney with some bondo on it and a runny paint job.

"Doctor: Well, Sen. Brownback, your liver and heart are failing. There is some great cloning technology in China that would let you live for an extra 10-15 years. I guess we can't use that on you here though. It's not legal here, sorry.
What? No, you can't go to China and have that procedure. If you did you would not be allowed back in the US. No clones in the US remember? "
They did a study and you have to look right into one of those lazer pointers for 10mins before you suffer any eye damage. They took people that were going to loose their eye due to cancer and had them do the tests.
Lower level shouldn't do much, if any damage, after all you're just projecting an extreamly short distance, not across a board room.
I think most contracts say that the company you work for has first grab at whatever you do, if they don't want it, you can do whatever you want with it. If the product is valuable they'll probably either want to keep it, or sell it. Either way isn't very GPL friendly so I don't think any company would go for it.
I think most places if you make a small program that helps you out that is extremely general but doesn't have the potential of being a big moneymaker won't care if you GPL it, as long as you ask.
