She should have been sued for wrongful death. She would have spent the rest of her life paying whatever she makes to the family of that little girl and the rest of us wouldn't have had our rights trampled in the process.

Right. While the girl's mother who was apparently aware of a previous suicide attempt and of the emotional state of her daughter goes away free when she doesn't seem to have had her daughter followed by a professional or treated in any way and let her be exposed to the well known hysterical lunacy of web boards ? The mother isn't responsible of anything at all ?
Aren't parents supposed to take care of their sick children in the US ? Wouldn't *willingly* exposing them (the mother opened the MySpace account) to danger be frowned upon ? Or is it supposed to build character or something ?
Its not just spending the money... nor the company collapsing. Disney shut down their free MMO VMK for no apparently good reason except that they seemed to want to generate bad will among their customers.
Disney does have an image to maintain. Even if it's expensive.
The major problem with a mammoth would be that there would be nobody (as in other mammoths) to raise it. There is a fair chance they worked like elephants. Unless a herd of elephants accepted it (possible but unlikely), you'd end up with a completely neurotic animal that would have no social clues whatsoever.
I'm not sure you can recreate a social species. They have to learn their social structures from somewhere. They won't make them up.
Putting human kids in the wild on their own hoping them to grow up as well rounded people is naive, the same is true (in a different way) of elephants and presumably mammoths.
They should get an ethologist. Or clone something easier.
Look, I don't think overclocking in liquid nitrogen is cause for a slam dunk conclusion that AMD is now competitive with Intel, but stating that it's not impressive and not an indication of the performance of the processor indicates a complete lack of understanding of electrical design.
I still want to wait to see how the intel performs when cooled with liquid helium. (not that I care in the slightest what brand of CPU is in my machine as long as it's current in terms of performance, cheap and not a power hog...)
Arachnophobia is the most common phobia, certainly in the western world. It's certainly not innate. Babies show no fear of spider at all. We pick arachnophobia up from our parents and from those around us, and it's easy to see why. When people around you, and almost everyone you see in contemporary media displays arachnophobia, it's hard not to be arachnophobic. Hollywood's use of spiders, and spider like creatures, as stock horror objects is actually a self perpetuating.
And frankly, when you've looked at both a shrimp and a spider up close, you really have to wonder at why people don't scream more in seafood restaurants...
The oyster cards certainly work much better than the underground lines. They should work on fixing that instead. (What ? bl*dy Circle line is closed *again* ?)
If CBS wants to show boobies after a reasonable time, say, 9:00 (the internationally accepted "Boobie Hour), have swear words and show people's heads exploding like a melon, let them. [... ] Little kids that are up at 9:00 watching porn are already suffering from parenting fail and no amount of FCC nanying is going to save them.
Sorry but boobies != porn. Go to any beach in a non religiously run country. (Or just go to Flickr - may be NSFW depending on your views on watching perfectly natural stuff)
Somewhere along the line the engineers making cool things were replaced by "Process Black-Belts" who spend all their time talking about "six sigma" and making engineers fill out reams of paperwork to make the smallest change to an existing product, never-mind innovating on something new and cool that the market might want.
In my experience, increasing nonsense paperwork and "six sigma" kind of stuff is the surest sign that a company is circling the drain.
If your depiction is true, it looks like the sunset to me.:(
The Opera browser tried this strategy, was out long before Firefox and was (arguably) better (certainly better than IE). People stayed away in droves, and these were just private individuals, not businesses which I would think would object even more.
Of course, whether this was because of the included ads is debatable. The fact remains that most random users have never heard of Opera. Nowadays their core business is probably the embedded browsers with the desktop one just an aside. And I regularly meet (Windows, what a coincidence) users that *still* have never heard of Firefox, even here in Europe (30% of marketshare). Apparently they only use a couple websites, or only use email.
I dunno, Hitler may have said he was a socialist, but he didn't throw very many parties. I'd say he wasn't a people person, but I did not know him personally.
Besides, everybody disses Hitler, but frankly we mostly knew the guy during the war.
Not especially. You can write extensions in a number of languages. Java is used in a few peripheral tools such as the database glue layers. The core stuff is C++.
Seems like a lot of work. He could just show up at work for a week and let everything go to hell by doing basically nothing and then check with accounting to see how much the company has lost.
The delta between their usual profit and that amount is how much his position is worth to the company.
Editing metadata is not something someone is going to spend the hours doing, especially at the pay rate ($0).
To quote a famous shirt, you could be replaced by a small shell script. Especially since all the data is apparently in the file and directory names.

However, learning a slightly more challenging real-life task gives you more skills with long-term usefulness; My youngest daughter is learning piano, and we view each new challenging piece she has to learn as a 'boss level' - no matter how impossible it seems initially, we know from previous examples that eventually she'll conquer it and ultimately will be able to play it on demand without thinking.
Piano isn't that difficult, all you have to do is press the right key at the right time. It's like that console guitar game.
The goal of our relative universe is to build character that can be used in the spiritual realm outside of this universe, such as Honor, Respect, and Loyalty, and not things like coding and driving a car, which obviously lack a use in a spiritual non-physical existence.

If public flogging and hanging actually worked to solve problems like this, then why was there so much flogging and public hanging going on?
Because there was no TV ?
The internal SD card reader is typically connected to the USB bus so it probably won't change performance all that much.
I mean, is it more fun to act in a movie or watch it being acted out?
Few places are more mind numbingly dull than a set (except for the few minutes every hour when something actually happens). So that's a no brainer.
If watching films was as exciting as making them the whole movie industry would have died out in the 1910s...
I agree, but there was no need for this.

There might be some concern about pulling off the velco and having it tear the suit.
I think they stopped making paper space suits quite some time ago specifically because of this.
OO is very good for graphical interfaces, but it isn't particularly well suited for algorithms and other maths oriented stuff.
Absolutely, that's what Fortran is for !

Not only that but it used to be cheaper than Silicon Graphics and Cray too !

Java?
Not especially. You can write extensions in a number of languages. Java is used in a few peripheral tools such as the database glue layers. The core stuff is C++.
What do you think OpenOffice is written in ?? BASIC ? Perl ? Intercal ?
(Hint : it uses this esoteric language that has a name that starts with C and ends with ++)
You could also use a foot pump if you aren't especially in a hurry.
