It's no wonder he was cast in the role with perhaps the least lines of any character.
Branagh's been doing some stunt casting in his movies to try and get more people to come see them - IMHO. He cast Charleton Heston in "Hamlet", and managed to do it without him running around with a gun or without his shirt.
And it's Michael KEATON, not Cain. Keaton and Washington were both awesome.
Jay from the Kevin Smith movies? (this might actually be the most Katz-like)
A "Good Will Hunting"-ish Matt Damon?
The possibilities are endless.
The extras budget might be a little expensive, though - when they have to pay for the 10,000 Anonymous Cowards.
But they could try to become one.....

The only concern here is the wires. AOL and Time/Warner could leverage their presence by saying that if you want cable modem access, then you have to have AOL as your ISP. They could pull some smoke and mirrors about where all the wires end up, and possibly fool some idiotic regulators.
Or maybe not. Maybe such a suggestion (or even the possibility raised by the AOL purchase) could get Local Access Providers (ie Baby Bells) to get up off their asses and roll out solid, reliable, friendly DSL implementations.
It is ironic that all the media covering this merger are focusing on the media aspect, where the real concern is the Time/Warner local cable access (as many other brilliant Slashdotters have pointed out.) There are plenty of media sources, and I don't think this merger has the possibility to control the spread of information.
Make sure you use a doctor's guidance, especially a nutritionist or endocrinologist. As you lose weight, you need to be monitored to ensure that you are losing fat mass and not muscle mass, in addition to ensuring your blood nutrient levels are acceptable.
Examine your diet carefully to see if your eating is tied to psychological reasons. If it is, seek professional help, because there is more at work here than your calorie intake.
Work on removing the unhealthy calories from your diet rather than just flat out cutting. Trade soda (300 calories a can) for diet (0 or 1 calorie). Use sugar substitutes. Eliminate convenience, fast, and snack foods. Eat proteins that have less fat. Drink lots of water, especially during the first two weeks, when you often lose "water weight."
Increase your physical activity to burn calories. Try to exercise at times when the endorphin high afterwards will eliminate a daily craving, if you suffer from them. Make your exercise interesting, or you'll stop after two weeks. The best exercise is competitive sports, because you don't think you're exercising.
Your dieting will reduce your body's metabolism - it's in our genetic makeup to compensate for changes in diet. Your body will become more efficient at operating on fewer calories. Don't get to your target weight and celebrate by heading out to McDonalds for a Big Mac combo supersized.
Be aware that life intrudes on the best laid plans. If events interfere with your schedule, don't beat yourself over the head or give up; just start back in and you'll be back on track in no time.
Fad exercises and diets come and go. Rely on solid medical background and established workout plans.
Accept that there are no easy ways to accomplish what you want. You didn't learn how to recompile a kernel in five minutes, it's going to be exactly the same with losing weight.
It could be like one of those Amazing Amy dolls or Furbies - it would talk incessantly about how society's going to hell in a handbasket and wouldn't have an OFF switch. Oh, and it could have a cute little sweater that said "Resident Gasbag" on it.
Usually I am for increased OSHA regulations, because often so many employers fail to provide adequate safety for their employees. However, I am of the same opinion as some of the people here. Telecommuting has been a great achievement for so many professionals, allowing them to eliminate the disastrous rush hour commute. I would kill to have the option to perform at least some of my work at home rather than travelling to an office. It also saves the environment and helps reduce traffic problems. I hope that OSHA doesn't push this legislation, but instead makes it a suggested guideline for employers who reduce office space and require employees to telecommute.
Everyone will not turn on all their lights at midnight. The difference between power and phone service is that, if you are awake at midnight, you will know instantly if there are any problems. Unless you like to sit at home in pitch black darkness, with no electrical appliances on, (silently polishing that Uzi and mumbling to yourself), you will have at least one light already on that will go out if there are any problems. You don't need to turn on additional electrical appliances to verify you have power coming to your house.
It is different when it comes to your phone. You can't tell just by looking at it whether you have dialtone or not. You actually have to pick up the receiver and attempt to open a circuit to see if you have dialtone. The big fear at the phone company is everyone picking up their phones at 12:01 to see if they work. This could create a denial of service, particulary in areas where most of the lines into the CO (central office) are residential.
So don't pick up the phones. Head out into the streets and loot and riot instead.

The idea of determining what one single person is the greatest person of a year, decade, century etc. is quite frankly one of the more stupid ideas of the century. The horse-race mentality that has bred the dozens of award shows, list issues, and web polls is an utterly simplistic view of the complexity of human events. But this is North America, and there's always gotta be winners and losers, right?
While searching for gainful employment, I have during the Christmas season working at a major national toy retailer (you know, the ones with the website that kept crashing after they offered free shipping?) Anyway, part of the muzak "loop" that they have been playing features C3P0 singing "Christmas in the Stars." It's almost worse than hearing Whitney Houston bellowing "Do You Hear What I Hear."
The Civil War not about slavery? What the hell was it about? I'm sure you think it was about "state's rights"....to practice slavery! Lincoln refused to say anything about slavery because his goal was to preserve the union and eventually reincorporate the South, but Fort Sumter wasn't fired on over State's rights. As to whether it was good or not for the US to be invloved in WWII, thank God a person like Hitler hasn't risen to power today, for he would walk all over the world while people stuck their heads in the sand and tried to pretend he didn't exist. Hitler's atrocities were known before 1941, and Roosevelt fought an isolationist Legislature because he felt it was the moral obligation of the United States to defeat Hitler and the Nazis.
As far as I understand, the rate of population growth has not reached a point where the sum total of people on earth is actually going down; instead, the rate of growth is slowing for the first time since any of the major worldwide plagues. In other words, if you were to visualize a parabola plotted on a graph, we have not reached the apex of the curve; rather, the curve is starting to flatten out. We're not out of the woods yet.
It seems Mosaic is another device/system/whatever intended to provide a shortcut solution to a very complex situation, such as home drug test kits or overprescribed antidepressants or ADHD drugs. Since most parents don't want to devote the time to actually trying to understand their children, opportunists invent ways to provide quick fix solutions. The real solution is communication, but it's complicated and takes time.
In 1984 there was a machine (in the Ministry of Truth, I think) called the Kaleidescope (I think, it's been a while) that generated music for the proles. Unfortunately, the vast majority of our population is so undereducated that they would probably be unable to distinguish the difference between a computer-generated performance and a real one.

Don Martin was always my favourite in Mad Magazine. What a shame that he will not be around any more to entertain us.

What output do you get while repeatedly giving your co-workers the finger?

Just show them the CNET story on Windows 2000 pricing and tell them you'll be bankrupt if you ever upgrade. Good luck on the conversion!
