How to explain this succinctly..

Real IMAX is 70mm, yes, but each frame is 15 perforations (perfs) wide. The film runs horizontal. And a robot picker picks the platter with the film and takes it to the projector (at least the one in the Mall of America in MN did)

Regular 70mm, like Super Panavision, is 70mm wide, by 5 perfs tall. The film runs vertical.

Nothing. Beats. Imax. Nothing at all.

These fools already have several storied 70mm names they could use.. Super Panavision, Todd-AO, etc etc.. but they will never, ever beat real Imax.

Problem is, real Imax is stupid expensive, and heavy, so it's mainly travelogues and stuff.

The stuff Nolan and others shoot on is just Super Pana -- but don't get me wrong, 70mm 5 perf is still so much clearer and sharper than 35, and has a very different look because the depth of field is shallower the bigger the film gets.

Super Pana is good enough.

That will help visualize it. real IMAX is a monster. Sooo much more surface area.

Hyper-v with the Hyper-V manager. It's kinda like VSphere but with different words and concepts. Using the same hardware ESXi was on. We just took a few machines and did it. Storage is the same SAN. I don't think we've gotten to building and testing clusters yet, but at least the creation and running of VMs is very similar to VSphere.

There's also Azure Local (was Azure HCI) and we also have built a little trial thing with it. All of it in its infancy, but they're running and doing useful things.

Also, we've had an azure footprint for a bit, so.. we've moved some loads to that, too.

'twas good knowing you, VMWare... you paid my bills for the past 20-something years. Never thought I'd see it in the graveyard that is Broadcom, along with Veritas and other ancient tombstones.

Then same applies to those who make movies, songs, and software.

Nope, no registration needed. Problem must be on your side.

"This isn't piracy. Nothing was stolen. The dollar amount is just pulled out of someone's ass because no sales were lost."

"Authors need to get paid for their work. Fuck LLMs and their piracy."

It's called business. Once the industrial revolution began, people are replacyed by machines at every opportunity.

C'mon Slashdot editorbots.. the original story's still on the front page, and you duped it already?

Yes, I know, time-honored /. tradition, the dupes and all that... but c'mon. Give it a rest.

At least it's a technical article, and not one of your usual feeble attempts to further divide our country by posting ragebait political pablum.

So, so many of these lately, for the past year or two.

One may be inclined to think these are only Slashvertisements.

Is 404 also owned by Beez-Ex? (sic., to evade the lameness filter on that name)

There's some responsibility of the loss of life on any government agency that allowed for habitable structures in a flood plain.

The camp was in a known flood zone. That entire area is a flood zone. They petitioned the government to remove their camp from the flood zone so they could build more buildings in the flood zone.

The commissioners in Kerr County asked Texas to get the money to upgrade and improve the early warning system for this area. Every time Texas couldn't find the money. As one commissioner said in 2016:

In addition, some of the county commissioners voted against upgrading the system.

I would wager the political environment is more friendly in Dallas.

Yes, the free money readily flows by the tens of millions for private companies in Texas, but not when it comes to protecting people's lives.

My dad knew someone who was on a few medications and regularly watched the Fox tabloid. The guy seemed always upset/concerned/whatever. My dad told him to stop watching the tabloid.

A few months later the two were talking and the guy had stopped taking most of his meds (except the one or two he needed) and he felt much more relax. Less stressed.

When your goal is to "engage" people, whatever it takes is the rule. Stir the pot. Get people riled up.

Why allow both fuel switches to be shut off at this point?

Fire? From my perspecitve (non-technical, non-aeornautical) you should not want something like this to be locked down. You should always allow for something unexpected to occur which would necessitate moving these switches in all circumstances. Locking them down would seem to deprive the pilot/co-pilot the ability to react to a situation.

Sorry, but a restaurant still has no business checking my social media.

They want to see if you're a dick or annoying or a whiner or anything else which might interfere with their restaurant ambiance.

Would you want someone who posts how often they get drunk at restaurants at a place which charges $500/meal?

But as the article also relates, they want to tailor your experience with them. If they see you've announced you're on a diet, they won't suggest the high fat stuff but instead something they think might be more appropriate based on your postings. Or maybe you mentioned how you would like to try XYZ, but never had the chance. Guess who will give you that chance.

For places like this, it's all about personal service and making sure your stay is comfortable.

According to FDA and CDC data, the covid 19 vaccine killed over 4800 people

No, it didn't. Not even close. As of 2023, there were 9 confirmed deaths related to the vaccine itself, and those were only related to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

That fake number you pulled out of your ass was debunked years ago.

and had 380k adverse reactions,

Once again, stating things which are not true. The VAERS database lists any reaction of any kind after taking medicine, REGARDLESS if there is any casual link. If I take Advil then get a rash three days later, did Advil cause it or it is poison ivy?

Pointing to a conspiracy site does not help your cause.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.
