Comment contract negotiation (Score 2) 209

What's more, destruction of hard drives means we have to buy new ones, which is going to cost us a lot of money, particular with prices being so high.

It should have been part of the contract negotiations that the cost of the HDDs is paid for by the government. If it wasn't your company should still have padded their fee to include this cost. If it wasn't, someone should be fired. You can then destroy the drives as required by the contract and use the salary savings to pay for new drives.

The next logical step is a higher frame rate. 24FPS for movies is way too slow. ... Movies should be at least 48FPS, and maybe 72FPS.

The Hobbit is being "filmed" at 48fps. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/04/12/the-hobbit-48-frames-peter-jackson/

Submission + - Web Delivery of Content with Expiration?

dangineer writes: Long time reader, first time questioner.

I have a demand for delivery of web content, mostly flash presentation to a paying audience. I need to deliver through the web and have considered writing my own php/MySQL application for doing this, have done some low level stuff like this in the past with good success. But, after reading all the SQL injection attack stories etc. I am convinced that the jackleg applications I have written in the past are not primetime ready for delivering something with the upmost reliability.

Having bought docs online from standards orgs and other places I see they use delivery through obscurity with some expiring URL with a long random string. My options are to manually generate the string, load the content to the string directory, delete directory in 30 days or whatever...but is there a better way? Something safe in the GPL CMS space for this?

P.S. I am poor.
