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 [Smile]

any other member's thoughts

Agree wirth Gord on this one they are a pain.

That is too funny. And it's less objectionable than the dots in, say, "Master & Commander". [Wink]

The chat reel has been pirated, the MPAA have failed. Any one care to derive the details from those dots to find the culprit ?

[Cool]

Not too long ago I had noticed annoying red dots on John Pytlak's picture. Hope he is feeling better now.

Thanks a LOT, Matthew! [Big Grin]

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? [Razz]

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.

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. [Wink]

Personally, I'd rather have the dots than miss all the other "Good Stuff"... [Big Grin]

IE RULES!
