I don't see how living in a simulation would be any different than not. Its still our universe and you are still the same you that struggles and eventually dies. If the universe is a simulation, it is still real to us. I actually kinda think being in a simulation would add meaning to life.

Mpeg 7 To Include Per-Frame Content Identification 273

An anonymous reader writes "NEC has announced that its video content identification technology has been incorporated in the upcoming Mpeg 7 video standard, allowing for each video frame to have its own signature, meaning that even minute changes to the file such as adding subtitles, watermarks or dogtags, and of course cutting out adverts, will alter the overall signature of the video. According to NEC this will allow the owners of the video to automatically 'detect illegal copies' and 'prevent illegal upload of video content' without their consent. NEC also claims that its technology will do away with the current manual checking by members of the movie industry and ISPs to spot dodgy videos."

"Chinese customs officials must stop shipments of game copiers and other infringing products out of China" The problem is, all you need to copy games is a wii and an early edition of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Stop piracy by banning the legitimate product?
