maybe you should focus more on gaining contract work and be less worried about people trying to copy your work.
Most companies are willing to pay for the work they like ... removing your watermark is more trouble than it is worth.
I totally agree. People waste more money and time trying to protect work without realizing that the value is NOT in the actual work, but the idea that goes behind it. The legitimate people that you want to work with probably won't steal. The others will, and there isn't much you can do about it without turning off the former. If I were to receive a heavily watermarked design, I would think... "gee, this guy has trust issues".
That being said, the only way (without involving attorneys, watermarks and low-rez crap), is to print out and photograph the work. Though, if done poorly, it will have a negative reflection on the work.

The only thing weird about your poll is that choice 1 & 2 are pretty much the same so why 3 choices when 2 would have sufficed.

I wonder which are worst:
A) Video games based on movies, or
B) Movies based on video games.
Tough choice.

If I lived in the UK I'd subscribe to GoMINI but it is soooo expensive to get over here! It works out to be about $10USD per issue. :eek:

I have all my videos on an external hard drive. I have it setup so that all movies are in "Movies", my tv shows are in "Tv Shows" and so on. I find placing movies that i ripped in a folder is faster to find and watch, i do not think itunes handles +500GB worth of movies very well.

I suspect most of you aren't old enough to have been driving cars in the 1970's. The 55 mph national speed limit. The general consensus that it was just wrong. And the civil disobedience that sprang from that. It was the nearly complete disregard for that limit that led to it being changed. Once a law or regulation becomes so extreme that it leaves rationality behind, people start to ignore it or find ways to avoid it. I would argue that 9.5% sales tax is having that same effect. Especially when you consider it is on top of Federal income tax. And state. And local. And Social Security. And Medicare. And health care.
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will.
Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." - Frederick Douglass
What you fail to point out is that brick-and mortar merchants � such as the ones in your community that help offset your local real estate taxes � don't have the option of not charging sales tax. So, the online merchants have an unfair advantage, which reduces brick-and-mortar sales, which reduces the amount of local taxes collected from those brick-and-mortar stores, which results in your residential real estate taxes increasing.
I realize you'll likely counter by saying that government should just cut its expenses, but that doesn't address the matter that permitting one class of merchant to avoid a sales tax � especially with large-ticket items such as $2,000 computers � but not others creates an unfair market.
Don't get me wrong � I love the convenience of online shopping and I love saving money, but mercantile tax rates should be applied equally.

Hey, all, thanks in advance.
My campus has had problems recently with the internet being slow, dropping the connexion, etc. Usually I can go into system preferences and network, then use the "assist me" feature to fix things without any trouble.
But right now my friend isn't able to get her MacBook to connect at all She's tried restarting numerous times without any luck. Either it says there's no IP, or that it's authenticated via PEAP. Any tips for her? :/

Based on the incredible reviews I keep reading I bought a set of the Audioengine A5 speakers. Question is what do I need to stream music from an iPhone or iPad wirelessly to the speakers? Apple Airport Extreme? or Audioengine W1?
I don't want to connect any dongles to the iPhone or iPad.
TIA

ETA, thats great. How exactly do you have it setup?
IMO Using the aggregate soundcard function is not a permanent solution.
Its much better to have the all the audio coming in/out of one device.
You will get much greater sound quality,reliability and less latency using one device.
This will be very important if you want to/end up djing outside your own home.

^^ I do realise �150+ is alot to spend initially but in the long run you will see the benefits outweigh the cost.
The phrase "buy cheap buy twice" is worth thinking about.

If it is any consolation to those who don't have an Apple store, I live in Melbourne where we have two (and an other one coming soon?) and I've never been there.
There are Apple specialists all over the place - they're just as good, just no fancy interiors.
I reckon if apple are going to make one in the melbourne cbd its going to be somewhere amazing like the old myer building facing melb central

Zepp,
Download Handbrake (providing youre on a mac). then, download VLC.
Next, open Handbrake.
Insert DVD.
Select where you want file stored(in handbrake).
Start Handbrake.
Once the program is done, you will see the file in .Mp4
You can drag that into iTunes and it will sync to your iPad.
"You can put down the cocktail, your movie is done"
Thats what i was needing, an idiots guide !! lol
Thanks to both of you , Macdawg and clutchthese
Will give it a go

The neck of that guitar you have, you say you can't wrap your hand comfortably around it? Can you get your thumb over the top and your four fingers around from the bottom? Your fingers don't have to join but if you can do all that then you should be able to play the guitar.
However, I started on a Fender starter pack. It was decent but eventually sold it (now I regret it). I now have an acoustic electric.
Basically I am learning that it is not the instrument. If the guitar is playable, stays in tune most of the time, and you can actually hold it comfortably then learn on that, cherish it as your first, and move up and onward once you learn a bit more.
Do you want an electric simply because electric is "cool" or are you really looking for a certain sound. Surely you won't get those real heavy power chords out of an acoustic. You can play a power chord, but for it to sound like many bands I'm sure the electric is where it's at.
To answer your question, the starter packs are easily grown out of but not a bad investment, especially if you learn how you can modify it as your ear grows (not literally but figuratively).
I'd be real interested in seeing that guitar.
