I wonder when the haters are finally going to fess up to why they find the name 'Wii' stupid for a gaming console. It has nothing to do with the French "yes" or kiddie-talk for urination.

Come on, admit it. You don't want the coolest new console on the block to be adorable. Why is this so hard to say?
If American citizens are frustrated and annoyed with their government's behavior, can someone please explain how expatriating will do anything but make the problem worse?
If they have any interest in achieving their goal, shouldn't they be sending a loud message to the rest of the world, inviting like-minded individuals to come live there instead? Or perhaps convince their neighbors to read a newspaper?

Why bother remaking a good movie? It's already good, and thus is no need of enhancement. Bad movies, on the other hand, those need all the help they can get.
This, of course has nothing to do with THX-1138, as it is actually a good movie. Right?
The state of IT in her schools is simply pitiful. They have the oldest technology, and virtually no help. Two guys who are in charge of the system have no interest in making things work.
My mom works as a teacher aid for a magnet elementary school in St. Louis. Whenever she and I get together she rarely has anything positive to say about the state of the school's IT department. The ones in charge are unmotivated and utterly disconnected from teacher and student needs.
Each school in the district has one appointed "tech aid" that is in charge of keeping everything (servers, phones, 300+ workstations, etc) running smoothly. These aids are paid about $18,000 a year. No summers off, either - that's when the infrastructure gets worked on.
$18,000 a year.
You get what you pay for.
I'd love nothing more than to take a job as an IT guru in my old school district (memories of 'Welcome Back Kotter'), but I think I could make better money sweeping floors at a movie theater.
That's what Moore said about his film during the height of his spat with Disney about distribution. Now, I if Disney manages to pull enough strings such that the film doesn't get released wide before the November elections, I can almost guarantee that releasing this film on the web is precisely what he'll do.
But that won't happen, especially now. You must remember that there is an assload of money to be made here and somebody is going to make it, political climate be damned.
Those who argue that Moore should release his film to the web anyway, ignoring the millions he could make, in the interest of principals are trolls. He's got himself a goose that lays golden eggs here - killing it to make stew may be ok, but keeping it around to lay golden eggs is a no-brainer.
I recommend that this HR goon start looking at WashU's less popular, yet more hard-boiled neighbor Fontbonne. CS graduates from there are hungrier and just as qualified.

On a whim, I decided to check the signal-to-noise ratio on this site's content by taking a screenshot of the full page (165x600 pixels, reduced) and measuring the actual content area (93x100 pixels, reduced by same factor).
A little area calculation later, the signal to noise for PCMag.com is: 93:897 (ie: noise factor of 9.645 times the signal). I will never visit that site out of choice again.
I wonder whether Forum 2010 is run by the same folks. I doubt it since Forum 2000 and 3000 were both Carnegie Mellon projects, and forum2010.org is registered to someone in St. Louis.

Forum 2010 had, in fact, nothing to do with the great fellows at Forum2k/3k aside from inspiration. And, just to end the rumors, I built the F2.01k matrix and all my own SOMADs as a senior project for my Comp Sci degree at Fontbonne University.
Now, I'm late for a date! Please don't destroy the matrix while I'm gone!
Someone explain to me why we need to spend billions on E-Voting when we can just improve the ballot devices (ie: cards/w hanging chads)?
Throw out the cards and replace them with laser printers. Use touch-screens to vote for your candidate by name and photograph. When the ballot is printed, the voter's selections are encoded via several methods on the sheet, say 3(barcode, numeric ID and possibly those 2d bar codes that UPS uses to track packages). With 3 corresponding 64-bit records of one's vote on the ballot the hanging chad problem virtually disappears, plus no prying eyes would be able to easily decipher what you selected on your way out of the booth. Fold up the page and drop it in the big gray box. Easy as pie.
Seriously. Who do you think is more concered with the safety and welfare of our astronauts - the guys who work with them everyday and build the fireworks that they ride in or politicians?
If our boys in labcoats are ready to build another rocket, then they should be able to have at it.

What makes you think that wasn't precisely the effect the producer was going for?
