Get tooth implants and a nice set of artificial teeth. You can get them in titanium base with all kinds of excellent, very natural veneers - and they'll last longer than any natural teeth.
Not cheap, not pleasant, but a very lasting solution.
So now we know how all the p3n15 3nl4rg3m3nt pills spammers stay in business - the Pentagon has bought all of them to create their "Massive Ordinance Penetrator".
For example urban music wouldn't have the same penetration into the suburban markets without record company promotion.
The whole point is that it wouldn't have the same penetration, at the cost of other good music that may be better suited to people. With the internet, music finds its way to the people that actually like it enough.
Without TV, radio and movies forcing the latest Transformers 2 soundtrack song down your throat continuously, how popular would it REALLY be? How much of that artificial popularity could be channeled to multiple smaller bands that make equally interesting music that is a better fit for some of the people that kind of like that soundtrack?
The "underground" music scene actually manages to get the word out quite well on good bands, even if they are small. Two examples from the metal scene: Cloudkicker and TesseracT. These guys are now very well known in the circles that like this kind of music. They won't get as rich off it as say 50 cent or Britney Spears, but thinking that kind of riches is reserved for all major label people is moronic anyway.
The BMW thing does make sense. The time used in replacing your burned out bulb is paid for by BMW on the original lights. It is a light that BMW has confidence in and they know the reliability of the bulbs and thus can reliably predict a cost to themselves. The aftermarket stuff is not approved by them, they know nothing about it, its problems, the cost of the bulbs, or life expectancy. They will not pay for it because they cannot reliably determine what their liability will be.
"Randomly" picking a keyword and 10 surrounding words out of a large article could ruin the context of an article as well (or creatively alter it), so by that logic this lawsuit may actually have some merit. Mis-quoting is an art form.
That's a non-sequitur. There may be multiple anthropogenic causes for noctilucent clouds, some of which could have existed in 1887. Industrial revolution, etc.
Absolutely. A good meeting saves more time than it takes. It's developer hubris to think that they already know everything they need to know and can just get down and dirty with the code for a few weeks, delivering the correct finished project.
It might be controversial but you are not alone. Languages like Java and C# and to a lesser extent C++ have made a whole generation of (lousy) programmers think EVERYTHING must be OO.
And then they go ahead and make every class a singleton or chuck it full of static methods.
Of course the good programmers get past this quickly, but it's still an uphill struggle to convince them that OO is not the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
If you want to do object oriented programming you use Java or C# (or Objective C on the Apple platforms). They have object systems that make sense.
One of the BIG things about C++ is that it is multi-paradigm. If I want to do some object-oriented programming, but not all the time (because it is no silver bullet), C++ is a choice that is extremely well-supported on many platforms.
I once worked at a place with a 4-digit alarm code. We had to choose our own personal alarm code.
I chose mine and got the reply "you can't have that one, it's already in use".
That particular incident made me aware of what "security" usually means. It means doing just enough to blame someone else for a mess-up.

Do you know that 2% of the regular population has antisocial disorder?
I don't care, just leave me alone!

What about Gorilla Biscuits?

How long did it take to find the Beagle 2? Two years!

It was the first thing that popped into my head too. That, and a remake of the Dragon Wars RPG.

I think the ideal body ratio is 1:1. Less than that is lonely, more than that is asking for trouble.

Some say this has already happened.
VC2010 already supports a C++0x subset - see http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/10/28/visual-studio-2010-ctp-released.aspx

There are hosts of people on this planet who place more faith (pun intended) in life after death than life before death.
Maybe it blows. It all depends on which way you look at it.
I suggest holding a good oldfashioned mass iPod burning.
We don't even need an accelerant!
I swear, I read wikipedia for the articles, not for the pictures!

Except it'll cost an arm and a leg.

It's a reward for whoever cracks it - they'll probably profit.
