That's irrelevant. The CMOS sensor on the RED works the same way as a frame of film - it is activated and exposed to light in exactly the same way, for a fraction of a second depending on the desired shutter speed. The only difference is that the shutter is electronic (turning the sensor on and off) vs mechanical, and even new digital cameras like the Sony F65 have mechanical shutters exactly like film cameras.

It's not racism, just an observation that parents usually teach children values similar to their own.

"Answer #1: Any professional with any ambition at all. Collective bargaining agreements are a noose around the neck of anybody with the ambition to better themselves."

Bullshit. How do you figure? You are always free to negotiate yourself above and beyond what your union sets for everybody. I negotiate my salary myself on union jobs ALL THE TIME, and haven't worked for the union minimum in a long long time.

You can yell fire in a theatre, and there is nothing illegal about the speech itself. However, you would be charged with reckless endangerment, or if someone were trampled, manslaughter. Censoring the speech is bad because you cannot know the context before hand. All you can do is base law on actions, not words.

I routinely work 10-12 hour days in the film industry. You can absolutely get more done and better utilize your time on set, and only working 8 hours a day would seriously impact productions. 12 hours is standard. Of course, it pays extremely well so after many weeks of doing this I can take off a month or two. I would rather work 12 hours a day for 3 months then get 2 months off than work 5 days a week every week for 32 hours and basically only get weekends.

The difference is that if you are a player in say, the NFL, you will make a ton of money, and after 8-12 years retire and draw a pension from the NFL. Bench warmers make 150K+ a year, so if you're even halfway decent you will be making good money.

But in E-Sports, the 150K figure is for the very best. The very best are making less than a bench warmer in the NFL. Being the very best means practicing in your team house for 10-12 hours per day. Many top Starcraft players have needed surgery for RSI injuries.So even if you're the best in the world, you're going to get 10 years at best. You think 150K a year is a lot, but after your career is over what do you do? What skills do you have? All you can do is play a video game. You're hostage to it. Former top players have gone on to become coaches, and this is the only real progression left. If you are near the middle or bottom of the pack, your situation is even worse since you have less money.

This is not a long term career like traditional professional sports is.

That may be against the law. A better way is to put infrared lights around the plate. It in no way obscures the plate visually to the human eye, but cameras will see a big bright mess.

This is because a higher frame rate in games means it is more responsive, and since you are interacting with it, fast response time is necessary for lots of genres like FPS or fighting. You are not interacting with the film, so the frame rate is merely a stylistic choice. 24fps is not bad; it merely gives a certain look. 48 fps is also not bad; it just gives a different look.

The idea behind Cloud gaming is that you can have one device that can play games on many platforms and complexities. The whole point is to do the heavy rendering and calculations on the server and stream the result to the client, so that you don't have to keep upgrading when a new console comes out, or when a game's hardware requirements go up.

First, redo the Mac Pro. Make a chassis that works like a tower, but can have a rack drawer attached so it can be slammed into a standard enclosure. Offer not just 8Gbs FC cards, but NICs with enough packet offloading power so FCoE is workable.
All apple needs to do is include 2 thunderbolt ports, each on separate busses. Who needs FC when you have thunderbolt? Add USB 3 and new graphics cards; that's all I could ask for as a pro right now. There are so many thunderbolt video and audio devices coming out, it's sickening it's not on the mac pro yet.

You'll miss a lot by having inner light as your first episode. Part of the power is that Picard changes a bit; he goes from not liking kids to having them, from being single to having a wife, etc. You'll lose all that if you haven't familiarized yourself with the character by watching other episodes.

You can see non gimicky 3D right now: Prometheus. Say what you will about the film, the 3D is not a gimmick, and greatly enhances the experience. I felt like I was looking at real person when Charlie was looking in the mirror and saw the thing in his eye. Creepy as fuck. The cesarian was also creepy as fuck in 3D as well, not because of in your face effects, but because you really felt as if you were right there looking at real people. That's the future of 3D: subtle enhancement.

You joke, but being able to cheat was why I loved Diablo 2. It's so terrible and boring to level and grind for good gear, so to make it much more bearable I would use a trainer to give my character what they needed. This made the game much more interesting since I could skip all the grinding and just find out which types of characters would be fun to play, and which skills and skill combinations would be effective on Hell difficulty. I saw no reason to waste my time grinding, when that's not what I enjoyed. I wasn't harming anybody else, as this was all on open battle.net or Single Player.

This is also why I did not buy D3 - it's forcing me to grind for levels and gear, or worse, BUY gear. No thanks.

Life is only going to be able to exist on earth for another 800 millions years at most anyway. After that, it will be 1. too hot to support liquid water, and 2. have so little atmospheric CO2 that photosynthesis is not possible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_of_the_Earth

Utilizing 'loopholes' in the law is not evading taxes. You wouldn't pay full price when something is on sale, so why should someone have to pay more than the law allows? As long as you are within the letter of the law, there is no problem, and it's not unpatriotic. Renouncing your citizenship, and turning your back on the country that made your business possible, THAT is something else entirely, and is most definitely unpatriotic.
