Futurama isn't coming back, but it could tell Fox that their audience enjoys funny "mature" cartoons (mature as in not kid stuff, but not XXX either).
Of course, nobody should buy any DVD expecting it to count as a "vote" for their favorite show. Buy it if you want it. Don't expect something to come of it.:)
Not once did I say I considered myself a writer. Still, I'm not afraid to write out "hell" and "damn" and "fuck" in the clear. As a reader, using punctuation decreases the readability of the text dramatically. On top of that it offends me--as though he thinks his audience is immature children, instead of the adults that read HHGTG long ago.
If he truly was concerned about self-censoring, and wanted to avoid insulting his readers, he should have avoided using the words entirely.

if he was so worried about it. I hope the producers of the movie have the sense to leave all words used unbleeped, to allow the story to flow, instead of to highlight whatever it is he's embarassed about.
I'm still waiting for them to come out with a Bag of Holding to carry all of the individual electronic devices that could replace the functionality of my Treo 600. One that could fit in my jeans pocket.
I'm just bothered by the noise from my computer. There are ways I can ignore it, with headphones and such, but I don't always feel like wearing headphones. Idealy, the computer would just be silent.
There's no need for life to be harder for the smart students. It isn't fair to ask them to work extra hard to get the same credit, and at the end of the day, the very same piece of paper that a less-smart student receives.
You do need to understand the writer's abilities so you can encourage them to do better, if necessary. But there's no reason to withold giving a student an A, simply because they've had A's the whole time and haven't shown any improvement.
In the case of a student doing way better than their peers, it's more appropriate to challenge them further. Move them in to the accelerated classes. Let them take on the advanced cirriculum, and pass or fail it there.
At least then they can say they took AP classes, which will help them stand out from the rubber-stamp high school diplomas if they decide to go to college.
Ha, I watched the test. Their hands were still on the filler, holding it open. They were spreading flames all over left and right. There's no way fire would be *pouring* out of the filler if it was shut off. That doesn't make any sense.
They removed the filler from the tank when they started the fire, not when it was full.
Maybe you saw a different demonstration than I did.
It's not just jealousy in this case. If it were a single player game, it would hardly matter if someone could buy a boost. But in a game where the competition revolves solely around the monsters available to fight, and the number of monsters available to fight does not scale with the level of the player base, then artifical boosts in player power will have a significant negative effect on the players who do not choose to pay extra.
The videos they showed of the firefighters demonstrating the "problem", always involved them pulling the gas pump out of the fill hole, with it still running. That's the only way they could generate an actual visible amount of flame.
eMusic does around what you want. MP3, no DRM, VBR, around 1MB/minute. $10/month for 40 tracks. $20 will get you 90 tracks.
I just signed up after reading a post about 'em the other day. I'm happy with the service, even though in order to download full albums you have to download their file manager. I don't really blame them - beats having to host the content twice (once in mp3, once in "zip" or similar).

Hardened PHP
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
1) PHP is not all that great for high traffic sites. It's lightyears better than mod_perl - in my experience - but it's still very much worse than static pages. One major problem is people tend to make a site overly dynamic, or don't cache frequently run queries/functions. Zend Optimizer can help, as can the other Zend products, but only to a point.
2) Try thousands of users (it's not uncommon). Lots of free porn is out there, but the goal is to tease the surfer into pulling out a credit card. There are some niche sites that offer stuff nobody else does (for free) that can do quite well. What's hot now is live videocam chatting. I don't think you can get that for free (at least, not with the same quality selection)
That is probably true (even when you count what it takes to produce and deliver the fuel for riding bikes (ie farming equipment and trucks to haul it and stuff)), and I agree that people-power is a great way to go. The reason it isn't used in urban settings is primarily because of poor growth management on the parts of cities, and of course good ol supply and demand.
Still, some power is better than others, and by using electric equipment, we can (pretty much) adapt it to any future power generation that comes along. That's what I'm looking forward to, personally - a safer/cleaner electrical power generation system.
In this case I was suggesting they could take a contingency fee for handling multiple cases - dismissing the charges against him, and then recovering the money from the state for wrongful arrest/etc.
Awful. I don't blame your friend exactly, but there are plenty of lawyers who will work on contingency. Go after her, get her kid removed from her (since she's obviously unstable), and get damages from the state for entertaining any of it.
I don't think I'd *ever* plea to anything that heinous.
"Alternatively, the FBI/CIA could just install snooping boxes at network hubs, but again this isn't practical for realtime searches given the volume of mail going around the world every day."
Remember Carnivore? That's what they told us they were doing. What else may they be doing without our knowledge?

Heh, er, yeah. Interest bearing checking accounts are common (at least, in the US they are).
Not that I suggest relying on interest from a bank checking or savings account. It doesn't even beat average inflation.
"Even during the 26 months that I was not allowed to work for private industry or government I achieved the following:"
You keep saying that.
Were you in prison for 26 months?

For a writer - that is, someone who ought to be proud of what they write, unashamed - he sure masks a lot of words with random punctuation marks.
So that's the excuse for sloppy accounting? Yeah, great!

It's been discussed for YEARS. It's been well publicized right here on Slashdot. I've posted links to it for months. Why do I need to keep doing that?
I'm replying to someone who failed to do the research. Maybe *they* can post where they got their figures for a change?
No. This is a common misunderstanding. The majority of spammers are from the US.

"There is an Interesting Question? Do I not have the right to peace and quiet?"
If you have that right, which I don't think any of us have, you certainly would waive it as soon as you step out of your home.
Not all of us live in states/regions that get the majority of their electricity from coal/polluting power plants.
How exactly is this not already a secret police force?

It would come in handy for those situations where the networks air a show a minute early or a minute late to try and defeat the PVRs.
