You sure about that?

Anyway, if they insist on stack ranking, then hire (or transfer) someone in to be the bottom of the pile. Game theory is the only way to play silly games.

Do you typically think in letters?

In (order to get the plane out of) Soviet Russia, you must think in Russian. You can not think in English and then translate...

At least one noted film director is already using UAVs. Werner Herzog used a Skybot UAV made by British Technical Films for the opening sequence in Cave of Forgotten Dreams - the camera moves through a vineyard before soaring up and revealing the countryside of the Combe d'Arc where the cave art was found. It's an impressive shot in 2D but in 3D it takes your breath away.

...That was used in 1985. The films "Natural States" and "Desert Vision" come to mind. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1518224/fullcredits#cast and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167888/fullcredits#cast

The bad news is, you are right. The good news is, you're not crazy!

The Light Bulb Conspiracy.

"He's still chairman of the board."

I thought that was Frank Sinatra.

Or Carrot Top.

Can you editors please present the article submitted with a decent summary and leave off the inflammatory questions tagged onto the end?

I'm going to guess ... no? But then again, I never studied law.

You have confused the Director with the Producer. Burton did, in fact, direct those films, but they were still produced by Michael Uslan. Citation here.

Memorable quotes for Looker (1981) | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/quotes

"John Reston: Television can control public opinion more effectively than armies of secret police, because television is entirely voluntary. The American government forces our children to attend school, but nobody forces them to watch T.V. Americans of all ages *submit* to television. Television is the American ideal. Persuasion without coercion. Nobody makes us watch. Who could have predicted that a *free* people would voluntarily spend one fifth of their lives sitting in front of a *box* with pictures? Fifteen years sitting in prison is punishment. But 15 years sitting in front of a television set is entertainment. And the average American now spends more than one and a half years of his life just watching television commercials. Fifty minutes, every day of his life, watching commercials. Now, thatâ(TM)s power.

Memorable quotes for Looker (1981) | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/quotes

âoeJohn Reston: Television can control public opinion more effectively than armies of secret police, because television is entirely voluntary. The American government forces our children to attend school, but nobody forces them to watch T.V. Americans of all ages *submit* to television. Television is the American ideal. Persuasion without coercion. Nobody makes us watch. Who could have predicted that a *free* people would voluntarily spend one fifth of their lives sitting in front of a *box* with pictures? Fifteen years sitting in prison is punishment. But 15 years sitting in front of a television set is entertainment. And the average American now spends more than one and a half years of his life just watching television commercials. Fifty minutes, every day of his life, watching commercials. Now, thatâ(TM)s power. â

He's pretty clearly not talking about the concept of Robin in general, but specifically the move titled Batman and Robin which was as much of a campy, shitty, pile of garbage that everyone laughed at as the 60s TV show was that the producer claimed to have hated.

Uslan has served as the executive producer of all Batman major motion pictures, from 1989's Batman to the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises (trailer).

That's not "all" of the Batman major motion pictures. You seem to be forgetting Batman: The Movie, in which the Penguin dehydrates members of the U.N. security council, reducing them to piles of... stuff... and somehow manages to rehydrate them with everything perfectly back in place and functioning. True, most people have worked hard to forget this movie over the last half-century, and if you hadn't made this ridiculously-grandiose claim I wouldn't have had to remember it either.

Still, the post-Burton, pre-Nolan Batman's were fucking shit-tacular.

You obviously haven't seen the Animated Series.

... Apple sues to stop further viewing of 2001: A Space Odyssey for its depiction of an infringing tablet-like device used for reading text, news and other content.

I know, my first thought was, "what would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?" So I RTFM.

My understanding is that they basically told it your goal is to earn yourself the highest score possible. You get 0 points for painting off the edge of the page, lots of points for smooth brush strokes, etc. I wouldn't really call it a reward system, any more than WOW's grinding is a reward system.

Obligatory: "I am now telling the computer exactly what it could do with a lifetime supply of chocolate!"

I hope Google has serious liability insurance.

These interactive glasses would be way more attention distracting than a cell phone call or texting.
The fact that you are still looking in the direction of straight ahead doesn't matter at all.
Your brain can only pay attention to one thing at a time.

There are many experiments demonstrating people looking straight at things and not noticing them because they are attending mentally elsewhere.
Faceplants into poles while walking would be the least of your worries.

We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

I think most Slashdotters would oppose this opinion. Most of us know that HOTS is a very desirable way to get educated.

It's funny the movie had something like this in it. I don't want to do any spoiler of the movie

The 2000s, off the top of my XBMC:
The Shield, Fringe, 24, Better Off Ted, Futurama, Veronica Mars, Life On Mars (UK Version), Doctor Who, How I Met Your Mother, Firefly, Dexter, Sherlock, Battlestar Galactica, Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, Deadwood.

There are good shows. It's just harder to find them because there's a lot more channels you have to sift through.

May I suggest: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?num_votes=5000,&sort=user_rating,desc&title_type=tv_series

I think my cell phone needs a list more like this one..

In other words it will be just like The Shining (1980) but in space! What could possibly go wrong?!

HEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!!!!!!!

On that note, the sexual dynamics among a group of two men and two women isolated from the outside world for at least two years could create quite a firestorm on reality TV, not to mention extensive fodder for gossip magazines.

We should all know already that Amelia Earhart and her plane were discovered by the Voyager crew in the Delta Quadrant!

That hot coffee thing is not what it looks like. I really suggest you to watch hot coffee (2011) documentary. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1445203/ I think in America it's all about self-esteem: you don't really have to know anything but be confident on yourself. Just learn and repeat some phrases from a book and look confident. You'll get far.

"Or, a coding error ends up causing everyone convicted of a certain, obscure offense ... is condemned to death."

"The Professional"

In the movie Margin Call, based loosely on the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the character Peter Sullivan, played by Zachary Quinto, was a math guy (like all true computer scientists) that successfully crossed over to the finance world. Unfortunately, he was also the character that figured out what the man he replaced had figured out, which is that the global economy was going to collapse the following day. Are you sure you're up for that kind of thing?

At least a few are.

I've never seen 'em, I'm not really in to themed porn. A buddy of mine said that they have fairly decent plots, given the parody nature.

Sex Trek came out in 1990. Heh. I said, "came"....

What a twist!

Or imagine a rerelease of Tremors with a new audio mix so you can "feel" those things underneath you.

Even a theatrical setup with that many speakers is unlikely to have full-range speakers for all those channels, so you wouldn't "feel" them, but you might hear them. Unless you use good-quality multi-driver speakers, it's really hard to get something with any real accuracy from even 50-15000Hz. It's easy to do that with 3-4dB bumps in the response curve, but hard to get better than that.

And, if you're not accurate to within 3dB, then all those extra speakers really are wasted, as you won't be able to tell if the sound is coming from one speaker or another.

...considering Bose have single-driver units that fill a room, and I have a pair of headphones made by Angle & Curve (with one driver either side) which, with the softHD sound processor in my netbook, gives me "virtual" surround that sounds every bit as good as my acoustically balanced 5.1 PC setup.

I disagree. Providing new directions for sound to come from (above and below) will definitely provide a more immersive experience. Just think about a scene where planes fly overhead; in a current 7.1 setup the plane sounds like it's at your level, but with speakers overhead it will "feel" like the plane is flying over your head. Or imagine a rerelease of Tremors with a new audio mix so you can "feel" those things underneath you.

Convincing people to upgrade their hardware, be it in a home theater or at the theater itself, will take some effort not unlike previous audio hardware upgrades such as from mono to stereo to LCR to surround. But I think in 10 to 15 years we'll all be convinced how much more it adds to the movie and sports viewing experience.

Although for a successful home market, 62 + 2 speakers?! I don't know about that. Either units with multiple speakers within them so the number of "devices" to purchase is small and easy(ish) to setup or a reworking of the standard to bring the number of speakers down to something more realistic, like a 16+2.

What is the "Real World"?

You're welcome...

two chicks at the same time, dude

I know college costs have gotten out of hand with republican legislatures cutting support for education and loose lending rules, but I doubt this guy has a million dollars.

Actually, this is a good time for this young feller to be seriously contemplating the philosophical underpinnings of that movie.

Forced tithing was a practice, but I agree that there were numerous ways for people to take property back then. If you were a person of title, all sorts of measures could be taken to get your stuff if a Noble wanted it.

Yes, but did that have anything to do with the noble holding a religious position? (As per my question in the comment to which you're replying, I will not find a claim of "yes" credible without a citation, and "citation" means more than "there are accounts, trust me" - point to one of them, so I can check its believability myself.)

There are accounts outside of your link that back the historical truth of lords banging newly weds first.

Reliable historical accounts? Accounts that it happened on occasion, or that it was a widespread custom? Cite some, please.

There was historical significance in adding that plot to movies.

I presume by that you don't mean "they wouldn't have added that plot to movies if it hadn't happened", as that would be a statement of truly mind-boggling idiocy. (By that logic, there really was an emperor named Ming the Merciless....)

Robin Hood Men in Tights had the plot long before Braveheart.

And by that logic, King Louis XVI played skeet using peasants as clay pigeons. Anna Maria Italiano's widower isn't exactly known for his deep interest in complete historical accuracy in his movies (for example, I really doubt that they had soldiers from Nazi Germany in late 19th Century California).

Now, was it a written law? Probably not, but that does not mean it was not practiced or enforced. Many morally questionable laws were never written, but were practiced. Noble's were not so ignorant they could not see problems writing down certain laws.

Which raises the question of whether they were "laws" in a sense that anything more than "I have more swords than you do" backs them up.

Clooney does decide to sell his family's inheritance after all.

but to make the claim that any group of individuals that forms an organization funded by public stockholders for the sake of operating a profitable business are inherently evil is inherently dumb.

The makers of The Corporation convincingly argued something very similar to that (not evil, but psychopathic.)

Why does it seem like the past 15 years of politics have been "Wag the Dog" repeated over and over again?

I loved that movie

I expect Chinese people living in China will be surprised to learn that they are now Asian-American. It will be be very confusing for them. Please reconsider.

One of the few very American cultural jokes is to quote popular movies out of context. It is not unexpected that the humor can be lost in translation, so to speak.
