How about you visit Africa and see an African Elephant? Or maybe visit India and see a Bengal Tiger? Or maybe visit Peru and see an Andean Condor? Or maybe visit Australia and see a Grey Nurse Shark? You know... while some still exist?
For the use I've had out of freeware and compiled-from-source versions of PGP over the years, this is a no-brainer. PGP has been invaluable to me for a long time.
Come on PGP users, put your money where your privacy is!
Simply adding the strings "banner" and "popup" to a squid-proxy DENY access control list rendered that page -- and most others -- completely innocuous.
Seriously, does anyone actually care about anything Star-Wars-related any more? I haven't even SEEN Episode II, and like most of the readers here I grew up a SW fanboy.
There are a whole lot of American shows that are not filmed in the United States, for instance Smallville (Canada), Survivor (all over the damn place) and of course all sorts of movies like The Matrix (Australia), Dark City (Australia), Spiderman (Australia.)
The choice of location really has to do with where the director believes is the best place to be.
I think you'll find it's more a case of "The choice of location really has to do with where the production company can get the biggest tax breaks from local government desperate to get hold of some foreign cash, and where the local actors don't have the US Actors Guild behind them in contract negotations"
Dan Gilmore said: as people outside the U.S. get better technical educations -- even as America keeps killing its own educational system -- we're going to see more and more competition from abroad.
This bit deserved to be written in mile-high flaming letters:
"AS AMERICA KEEPS KILLING ITS OWN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM".
Wha? Are we talking about the same Sex Pistols here? The shallow exercise in media manipulation masquerading as YOOF KULCHA? The shamelessly-pimped whores invented by publicist Malcolm McLaren who staggered from one carefully-planned media event to another?
Sorry to sound so pissed, but... they were a band only in the sense that the Spice Girls and N'Sync are bands.
...is, in my experience, almost always fantastic. I for one could not live without a 5-button Intellimouse Explorer and a Natural Pro keyboard, and I have MS gamepads and joysticks for gaming.
Say what you want about Microsoft's software, marketing, and management... but their hardware products are amazingly good.
Very witty... but not, strictly speaking, accurate:) There WEREN'T two platinums in his sentence, there were two "platinums". Your sentence is only correct if you slip into metalanguage.
A sad but familiar tale. I won an auction, paid via Paypal, item didn't arrive, chased seller via email, got a couple of "Oops sorry I'm moving house this weekend" "Oops sorry I was out of town for a couple of days" excuses, item still didn't arrive, chased via email again, messages bounced - pop3 account had been closed.
I am reminded of the theme introduced in Stephenson's "Snow Crash" -- of corporations desiring control over the information which their employees possess IN THEIR HEADS in virtue of their work.
I wonder how long it will be before we see "LucasFilm employee Joe Bloggs was today charged with 11 counts of Grand Theft as a result of leaving the company without submitting to a LucasFilm-endorsed memory-erasure program. A LucasFilm representative was quoted as saying 'Bloggs was personally exposed to many different pre-release versions of our latest movie and to early script revisions -- the information he has illegally reproduced in his memory may be worth up to ten squillion dollars!"

Sheesh.

I dunno, I think the sentence "Script is to C as ebonics is to Latin" redeemed it.
No law degree for YOU!
There's this thing called TCP/IP. Maybe you've heard of it?
Does anyone have any info on how Mr Lee was treated with regards to the X-Men movie?

Australia was the first place in the /world/ to give women the right to vote.
Looks like YOU need to do some research. The first country in the world to extend the vote to women was...
(drumroll)
New Zealand.
New Zealand women gained the right to vote in 1893. Australia didn't catch up until 1902.
If you think Disney's "Winnie the Pooh", or Disney's "The Jungle Book", is an improvement on the original, I have a bridge you may be interested in.
Why do you care? Seriously.
Worst...misuse...of..."grok"...ever.
Can you tell the difference between a monitor refresh rate of 60Hz and a monitor refresh rate of 100Hz?
I thought so.

"Bonified"? :)
Someone please conjugate the verb with the infinitive "to bonify"...
I doubt that "the desktop user" is really the audience that the author has in mind.
That is, of course, unless rendering massive feature-film CG effects has become a cool thing to do at home.
There were two platinums in your sentence, BTW.
