DBOX is a special auditorium that has motion enabled seats that are coded to move/vibrate etc. with the movie. http://www.d-box.com/en/movie-theatre/ E3 is that chain's particular "big screen" just like Regal has RPX, Cinemark has XD, etc. High end luxury auditorium.

Exactly this. This has nothing to do with a walled garden. This exact same copyright claim could (and probably will) be brought against the Amazon, Android, Microsoft, etc. stores which have the same type of infringing apps.

If you go to a temp agency these days, you'll learn exactly how poorly trained many people still are in computer skills. When I took the test on Excel, Beginner level was "Launch Excel, create a new document, save it, close Excel." Because I knew how to do a =SUM formula, I was automatically considered expert. I'd never used Access in my life, but because I knew how to alt+tab out of the test & use the help file in the actual program on the testing machine, I was told that I "already surpassed the skills being tested." As someone who has been in the IT workforce 20 years already, the Intro to Computing course isn't targeted at you. At all. It's meant for the idiots just out of high school who can barely spell or have paid their smart friends to do their word processing for them. Also, "intro" classes of any kind are not the classes that are designed to teach you to think. They're the ones designed to brute force feed you a truckload of information that you build on in the 200 level class next semester - and with computing classes, it's intended to teach you what programs you'll have freely available on campus in the labs or be required to use in classrooms.

Nobody will ever hear from me again or know who I am that way.

We obviously missed giving you your designated bribe...er, payoff...er, "contribution". We'll fix that right away. Or we'll disappear your family. Sincerely, Your friends at the NSA

Replace porn and videogames with: rock and roll, religion, television, books, Boy Scouts, long hair, jazz music, jeans, tennis shoes, MTV, etc, etc... New year, same story, different target. Move along.

So a Catholic teacher's association is complaining that something isn't fully scientifically researched, documented, and proven? A CATHOLIC association? Galileo Galilei is laughing in his grave right now.

I take no offense - the video is blocked here at work. ;-) The answer however, fills me with much happiness.

Will it soon have one of IMAX's crappiest digital projectors to fill the world's largest IMAX screen? Or will it still be allowed to have the clarity that is IMAX 70mm?

HA! Bravo, sir. ;-)

Our local radio station group (and local Comcast cable TV as well) in parts of Colorado had the test run transmitted to us in almost complete gibberish. It sounded like someone had an open mic and it was recursive on itself, echoing and repeating in delay to the point of being unintelligible. Not surprised actually - most stations in my experience screw up the local/regional EAS test and have to redo it each month. Why should the national one be any different?

Making a law to tell people what they can and can't say online will not solve the problem. They'll just go back to doing it in person. Writing letters, calling, stabbing, murdering, pushing people around. As long as different people continue to be born and exist, this is *not* a solvable problem. You can only mitigate it - and you don't do that by infringing the rights of everyone else. And if we're going to go by this route, the government (at least for now and on paper) is still of, by, and for the people. Thusly, I grant myself the right to free speech and do the same for my fellow citizens and government members...and heartily say "FUCK you, NY Senators." And have a nice day.

"on using a remote server to push OS code to systems at boot time," 1) Not everyone is always connected to the internet. A good number of machines are not. 2) While it may be used to assist in piracy prevention, how long until someone figures out how to spoof that server and serve malicious code to the OS at boot time. Because ya know, that's better than having some pirated software out there. 3) It will be cracked sooner or later. They've tried this with Office 2010 to an extent and Adobe with CS 5.5. They've both been cracked. It's a stupid game of cat and mouse. There will always be piracy and theft. How about everyone spends some of that money on actually improving the product & making the experience of the paying users suck less as opposed to being a momentary irritation to a pirate?

If the phone senses it is falling, it will automatically dial your mother in law. Airbag deployed - phone saved. You're welcome. ;)

And this gas cartridge is also an awesome excuse for the TSA to keep phones off of airplanes entirely! I see the plan here...
