SQL injection

“But he has nothing on at all,” said a little child at last. “Good heavens! listen to the voice of an innocent child,” said the father, and one whispered to the other what the child had said. “But he has nothing on at all,” cried at last the whole people. That made a deep impression upon the emperor, for it seemed to him that they were right; but he thought to himself, “Now I must bear up to the end.” And the chamberlains walked with still greater dignity, as if they carried the train which did not exist.

I'm not going to be using my CC on a site designated a terrorist organisation by the US Govt. anyway.

Using OpenAuth / OpenID / Facebook login etc. would mitigate the password problem.

Isn't that the same problem as downloading a torrent ?

> Unfortunately, interlacing only works with ancient CRT TVs - modern LCD screens

You'll find expensive high end digital projectors such as the ones from Doremi also do interlacing. It's one of the banes of my life as we project lots of user generated content for our film festivals. Lots and lots of people never look at their films with interlacing, even fewer understand it.

I have shown someone their own film with the fields reversed and consequent shimmering and they couldn't identify the problem, some have even not noticed!

Also, NTSC isn't 30fps it is 29.97

I see lots of temporal artifacts on UK TV from NTSC -> PAL conversion. I use the opening credits of Will & Grace as my canonical example, interestingly that have changed (for the better) as the show got more series.

Final Cut's conversion introduces temporal artifacts.

I have been working on an FFT fps transcoder for a while but nothing to show as of yet.

I've spent quite a bit of time in India and if you watch Star TV satellite broadcasts on a CRT you will see lots of footage with reversed fields.

Get LCD panels out of the edit suites!!!
