Author Topic: Chat Crap Code Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-14-2003 07:17 PM                     Does anyone else find the flashing cap code spoof dots rather annoying I do and on a laptop with limited video memory they sure bog the graphics down maybe the MPPA could delete them from the chat room reel any other member's thoughts  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-14-2003 07:21 PM                     Agree wirth Gord on this one they are a pain.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-14-2003 09:31 PM                        That is too funny. And it's less objectionable than the dots in, say, "Master & Commander".  |  IP: Logged Matthew Peters Expert Film Handler Posts: 179 From: Glen Waverley, Melbourne, Australia Registered: Nov 2002 posted 12-20-2003 05:13 AM                     The chat reel has been pirated, the MPAA have failed. Any one care to derive the details from those dots to find the culprit ?  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-20-2003 02:43 PM                        Matthew: Please cease and decist from using that image any further without my prior approval. Each such unauthorized usage shall result in a usage fee payble upon demand. Yeah... right..  |  IP: Logged Joe Schmidt Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-20-2003 05:05 PM                     Not too long ago I had noticed annoying red dots on John Pytlak's picture. Hope he is feeling better now.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 12-20-2003 08:04 PM                     Thanks a LOT, Matthew! And here I thought anything I typed in the chatroom was private and was now protected from being copied. Why, if this digital medium is so copyable even with the Code, can film be safe?  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-21-2003 12:39 AM                        Juse use the Opera browser and you won't see the red dots in the chat room. At least I don't. I'm using version 7.22 . For the longest time, I kept wondering what people were talking about concerning the CAP code in the chat.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-21-2003 12:57 AM                  But Evans, as we all discussed in the chat room last night, Opera misses, and doesn't display, a ton of stuff from all the web sites that choose not to be so anal retentive in their coding... What may be "proper" is not always prudent. Personally, I'd rather have the dots than miss all the other "Good Stuff"... IE RULES! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged
