Couldn't they just work it out by the number of heads between the camera and the screen, or how far the early-leavers have to walk to get to the exit?!
Here in Australia, all seats I've ever seen are numbered and at least one of the major cinema chains (BCC) does 'preferred seating', where you select what seat you want before getting to the room and finding someone else already sitting there.
Also, every time I've ever asked (at any cinema/chain), I'm told exactly how many seats have been sold and how many are left. And now my parking is linked to ensure I've watched the whole movie and haven't just bought a ticket to save $30 on parking!
Oh, yes, I expect they cured death the instant we left Earth. I expect doctors' surgeries are packed with the dead. "Hello, Mrs Johnson, take one of these three times a day, you'll soon be living again. Carol, next corpse, please."
I had previously tried the Alpha, and it crashed this machine. The Live CD ran great on my lady's old machine, however.
Now that I'm using it in the real world, the more I play, the more impressed I am:
Dual screen works out-of-the-box (no fglrx yet);
X on TTY1? Fooled me for a second when I tried to switch there, but makes more sense;
GPM works even when X is running(!); and
It (the Live version, I haven't figured it on my installed version; I think it's to do with my 'unclean'/home) tells me when my mouse is about to run out of batteries!
I'm going to keep playing and bringing it back to 9's level. Awesome! I love release days!
Yeah, and whatever happened to the proposed commercial spaceport based on Christmas Island? From years ago. Which was supposed to begin launches soon if not already.
There's nothing in the bible that says how long one of God's days are (in human years), so there's no definitive date for the age of the earth in the bible -- just the age of 'men'.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
And that was just an example that time to us as opposed to the figurehead of their church were not necessarily unified. Why humans should assume that they were is beyond me.
I remember watching the National Press Club Address about five years ago from the then-current parliamentary technology adviser who lamented that Australians have the highest acceptance of technological devices in the world, yet most people have no idea, or intention, to use them beyond their rudimentary functions.
For example, the majority have a multimedia phone, and the majority of those people use call and text at most. 60% of households (circa 2003 figures) have a computer connected to the internet in the same room as the main TV (average of two TVs per household), yet what is it used for but Facebook?
To further complicate matters, University students entering IT, Electronics and related fields are down because of the perception that "everything" already works, so why shouldn't they just be using the technology available? What is the point of working to improve it?
I'm pleased I'll graduate soon in a technological environment where people with my skillset are thinning, yet I fear a future as foretold in Idiocracy: people just don't look beyond the nose in front of their face any more.
Seriously consider using either J2ME or Web-based content. You can never rely on any one thing, but standards like these should allow you to change target platforms more easily in the future when the company you've chosen to follow either busts or, more likely, drops one of the features you've relied upon and you have a large amount of rework ahead of you.
(My fantasies always revolved around the Palm, but that was the standard when those dreams began).
Except when you get an email from Facebook, which you had never been to let alone signed up for, that says "Photos of you have been tagged on Facebook, sign up to see them".
Facebook is a danger to you whether or not you become a member.
...whenever... I launch Firefox, it prompts me if I want to update, which gets annoying.
Funny, the exact same thing happens every time I launch Opera to check my CSS works in it. (Opera has another.000000001 release which is different to yours...). But, I suppose Firefox would, too, if it weren't automatically updated by PackageKit. NoScript is the only thing I know that wants to update every other time you start...

Forget where I heard this one, but:

It's funny.

Because their significant other (likely female) tells them that that is what they must do? Paging McBeth...

Seriously, WTF?
Surely you mean 55378008. Or 5318008, for that matter.
From the article's title. What more need be said?
He was trying to tell his flock not to literally interpret the bible, using examples. Read the whole to read the context.
GTFO right back at you. :-P

Yes. That was the point. People aren't interested in technology beyond their immediate needs.

Thanks a lot! I just got Rick-rolled in text because of you!
DISCLAIMER: Still picked it up when scrolling really fast... sad, sad man I am...

And it worries me that Series 7 and 8 are decried!
Blackjack...
Judicious use can make code clearer. As Mum always says, everything in moderation. (That is where the emphasis is, right?)
GIYF2.

Jokes aside, if you still have an Amiga-targetted PPC card lying idle, you might get nearly as much as its outlay on eBay...
Wake me when we get to Trantor.
