    DAA vs. DRM

    The short article mentions this is based on a hardware solution. Having the security based on hardware will turn most people off using it. Just look at the arguments about a software solution. Also the article mentioned that this is based on a ten year old idea. I prefer an even older idea...

    LOTR: Extended Extended Editions

    I don't know how accurate this is but I thought you all might be interested in this. http://www.theonering.net/staticnews/1091023257.html For those of you who can't be bothered to follow it :D If this is true it looks like Peter Jackson is playing catch up with Lucas in how many versions...

    Any Fellow readers of the Mars series by Kim Stanley Robinson?

    I agree and I don't agree :) I vary between the 1st and 2nd books as my favourite, though the series as a whole is probably one of my favourite Sci-Fi reads. The three books seemed to each have their own theme. The first was the adventure of colonising a new planet. The second the emergence...

    Nip/Tuck---it is now one of my faves...

    Reminds me of when The Times printed a birth notice for 'Hugh G Rection' :eek: Dragging the thread back on topic I watched the first half of the first series when it aired in the UK. The impression I got from the show was that it was quite moralistic. It seemed that everytime somebody acted...

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Excellent as always Lazybones. :D After a six month break from Story Hour I needed a fix (that and the fact work is a bit slow at the moment :) ) What a fix it was, it's taken me two days to catch up. Now to catch up on 'The Kursis Charter' Padril

    Harry Potter question

    I didn't go to a Public school just a 'bog standard' comprehensive but we still had Houses, Prefects and Head Boys/Girls. That was a number of years ago though :eek: . My son has just started at comprehensive and they don't have Houses but do have Prefects and Head Boy/Girl. Padril

    Must Have DVDs

    I do hope this is the superbit version since the original DVDs encoding was very substandard. Since no one seems to have mentioned these I will :D Krull Apocalypse Now The Godfather boxed set Metropolis Babylon 5 Series 1-5 boxed sets Padril

    Another take on DRM

    Here is a very well written and intelligent article on why DRM fails the consumer. http://craphound.com/msftdrm.txt

    PDF Help!

    After a quick look at the PDF I can't tell why that has happened to your headlines. I can make a guess though, it seems that your fonts have gone a little screwy when using PDF995. If you look at your body text it has all bitmapped, which accounts for the 1.8 meg file size. :confused: Do you...

    InDesign question

    Use a grid. For example, say you are using 10pt type with 12pt leading for your body copy make sure that any headings etc use a multiple of that heading too (eg 24pt) That will help you keep the baselines of your text lines lined up. To make sure that the columns balance can be a little bit...

    Questions for Industry Layout Artists

    1) Since I'm currently working outside of the games industry all the layout artists I know are outside it :) Which makes the number around about 7. 2) None that are design or prepress specific.

    Shackled City Epic: "Vengeance" (story concluded)

    Sounds like a fun trip. For your London leg of the trip I know there is a bit of a thing in the Millenium Dome this Christmas, though I think its aimed at kids mostly. There is always a trip on the London Eye if you like heights :eek: It depends on what you like. Padril
