Actually it turns out to have been Reitman's first "film" - a 16 minute short entitled "In God We Trust". Was on Atom Films before they were bought out, and now you have to search long and hard for it even once you know what it's called. Th

You mean the story of "John Henry" perhaps?

I might have been tempted to put a smiley at the end of the title, but then I suppose it would ruin the impact for some readers. Well played, sir!

So if you had their attention what would you tell them? If there is a solution to this problem that lets us all retire without the economy collapsing, I'd be curious to hear it. As it is we can put off that day for some time, but eventually

It is interesting what things are, and are not, successfully "curated" on the net. For example, way back in the mid-90's when Compuserve was king I ran (for about a year) a paid online magazine for Science Fiction ("Radius" in case you ever

Thanks to you (and the other) commentors on here for the ideas. I will see what I can come up with, and let y'all know what ends up happening.

First off, it seems that lets me "store" a RAW but that I have to attach that to a JPEG. I'm lazy enough to want to be able to upload the RAW and have it do the conversion for me. Second, and the bigger problem for my use case, is that ther

You don't have to be tin hat to worry that if "some" Dropbox admins have access to your files, then your files are at risk of being hacked just like what happened with Sony and their PSN. If a company has your stuff, and someone there has t

I ended up switching to Wuala for better privacy, and a unique setup for getting more space at no extra cost. Specifics in my blog post: http://a1.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-i-switched-from-dropbox-t...

The service I am STILL looking for is one that will let me upload RAW, will allow end users to view them, and will let me pay some price (per picture if necessary) for permanent archival. IOW, I worry that about a year or so after I'm dead

Doesn't this presume that the app vendor can be trusted not to be intercepting your traffic?

Mega Congrats! Any chance of developing a similar app (paid would be fine) for identifying wildflowers? I have thousands of pictures of wilderness areas across the Western US, and I get tired of saying "and here's an example of... a yellow

I think by "explosive" they were talking about the volcano, not that the theory was that sensational. Granted the choice of the natural pun was probably not the best... :-)

What's interesting is that we all KNOW what the answer to the problem is, but no one is going to go out on a limb and say it. So let me do so - HN needs a paid, full time, editor who will go through the submissions not to approve of what he

I certainly enjoy writing, but my wife and kids are somewhat persistent about a stable income. So it's more a question of whether some neutral third parties think I'm good enough at this that I could someday earn a living at it, or if I sho

At the risk of being labeled an Android fanboy - I've bought three Viewsonic G tablets after owning an iPad 1 for a few months. There's this thing out on the web called "Flash" that quite a few sites seem to use that the Froyo on the G-Tab

I don't know what they're using, but I hope it gets better soon. Particularly with Asian character sets it's pretty hit or miss. Then put the result through Google Translate and... wow (not in a good way). Love the concept, just hope there'
