Copyright filter, again!
There have been
lots and lots of threads discussing trademark vs. copyright, etc, but in my searching I did not find the answer to this question: what will happen when Mickey Mouse goes out of copyright?

Looking for software to project realtime video from a webcam with as little latency (delay) as possible. No web streaming, just projecting closeup video of a guitar fretboard to a lecture hall filled with students.

4th Edition is Coming... Eight years after the release of Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition (and only four years after the release of 3.5), Wizards of the Coast announced today that 4th Edition will be on the shelves in May of 2008. Back in 2000, the release of 3rd Edition launched a boom (and
bust) of secondary adventures published under the
Open Gaming License. Back then, a gamer couldn't swing their boffer sword without hitting a start-up
game company with d20 content. Contrast that to this month when the very
last issues of venerable
Dragon and
Dungeon magazines hit the shelves.

I'm running low on personal bank checks. Does anyone know of a good place to find them online? I'd especially like to know of a site that is easy to navigate. Low prices would be great; free printable checks even better.

I'm looking for suggestions for a list I'm making of things that I want to enable my kids to experience while growing up. Kind of "life experiences" or education that isn't the kind of thing they'll learn or experience in school.

[Canada filter] I was very impressed with what I heard at a lecture about immigrating to Canada. But is everything they said really true?

How do I become a great video freelancer in NYC? I graduated from college last year with a degree in filmmaking. I know how to make videos - I've used decent cameras (vx2100, pd150) and I know my Final Cut Pro. Through personal connections, I was recently approached by two non-profit organizations asking me to submit proposals to do their promotional videos. I did and I am waiting to hear back. In the meantime, I'm freaking out that I may be in over my head. Any Advice?

Welcome to Desktop Tower Defence
Creeps will try and make their way from left to right (and, depending on difficulty setting, from top to bottom). Use money to purchase canons which you then position to force the creeps to route around while sustaining fire. Killing creeps generates more money, which allows the purchase and/or upgrade of canons, which come in useful as the creeps getting stronger/more resistant to fire as the game progresses.

If you were 24, had just graduated from university and paid off your debts, was leaving your dreary Toronto temp job at the end of the month with $4000 in savings, and was looking to get out of the city and do something interesting for a few months, where would you go/what would you do?

This song is called mathowie's community blog, and it's about mathowie, and the community blog, but mathowie's community blog is not the name of the community blog, that's just the name of the song.
-
lyrical brilliance by It's Raining Florence Henderson, with extra bits of artistic license taken in the studio.
- Arlo-esque lead vocals by
French Fry, aka Alex Millard, aka my brother.

What type of graduate programs focus on
User Experience Design or
HCI? Everyone seems to have a different name for it, and university sites are hard to navigate at best. I'm less interested in computer science degrees, but perhaps that all that is out there?

Romantic Getaway Filter: Help my lovely lady and I find an affordable cabin (or other cozy, romantic-type-lodgings) within driving range of DC for 4-5 days midweek in mid-March. Google provides a lot of information on this subject, but I'm having trouble really narrowing it down, so I'm seeking the input of the Hive.
