It's okay. I liken it to watching a child grow up, discovering the same things you did, making the same silly mistakes, and learning the same valuable lessons. And they have us to learn from, so they will eventually catch up.
I look forward to Canada reaching the point where they can build a challenger.
Actually, I have nothing against Canada. I'm just tired of all of the US bashing that goes on here, and wanted to fight back. If you pick on most countries, it is "racist" and "typically American". Turns out nobody cares if you make fun of Candana, though.
...and yes, the misspelling is an intentional mocking of canandain culture.
Let's turn the tables on the Dmitry thing for just a sec. If I were to write an article about how communism sucks big hairy cock, while still living in the US, then travel to China (where saying such things is against the law) to give a speech on a related-but-legal topic, they could toss my ass in jail, and they would be "evil commies", right? The American people would freak, and the press would have a field day (see spy plane).
Why is it okay for us to do it to folks from other countries?
Why not just bring Kevin Sorbo in as the new male lead?
Oh, I'm just kidding. I'm sure that Lucy will be a wonderful addition to the cast. It's good to see that they chose such a respectable actress. Maybe now the X-Files will finally be taken seriously.
Only if you hold the copyright. A home movie would be private property, and you would discretion over who did or did not see it. If you held the copyright, you could be forced to liscense it out, whether you had any interest in doing so or not.
The problem here is that, while possibly helping napster and screwing the RIAA (which is what we all want, right?), it also takes certain freedoms away from the little guy. If I copyright something personal *just* for the sake of protecting it, I could, theoretically, be screwed into releasing something that I never wanted anyone to see.
Then again, IANAL and all I really know of this is what I read in the article. I could be wrong.
Here's a better idea: Since cows outnumber people in the US by something like 3:1 (I forget the actual number), why not just drop cows on the enemy? A penny from a tall building can leave a pretty big crater, so just imagine what would happen if you dropped a cow from 40,000 feet!
Not only would it be an effective weapon, it would confuse the hell out of any enemies we didn't kill. It would also be cheaper. McWarfare.
So write your congressman in support of highly combustable bovine munitions today!
It actually goes a little deeper than that. A friend of mine pitched a show to Disney a while back, and they bought it. They paid him to write the pilot and everything. However, the writer stuck him with mucked things up, and they weren't too enthused about the script, so they bailed on it.
The trick isn't to think of how much stuff gets pitched, it's to look at how much stuff they actually buy, then never make.
Lisberger has proposed a sequel to Disney, and is working on the script, but there is nothing in the works, yet. It's sad that todays journalism allows for a "maybe" to be treated as fact (the Indy 4 stories).
That said, it would be great if they actually got this going.
The internet used to be a medium where anyone could (and did) post their thoughts, mulling over the minutiae of their daily lives. Nowadays, people just bitch and complain about every little thing.
Yes, it's so refreshing to finally move out of a state of general depression, and into a state of general anger.

I find that a bit hard to swallow.

I should clarify...

Candaian and full of hot air. There's a shocker.
Damn shifty Canadians.

Take a good look at that alphabetized list.
Thank you for explaining my point to me. Without your assistance, I would have had no idea what I was trying to say.

I was going to make an incredibly witty remark about the homoerotic possibilities for Lawless and Anderson, but it looks like 51 people beat me to it.

...and all the fanciest... dijon linuxes!
Finally, I don't have to deal with wires attached to my kernel.
One question, though: will the new "wireless linux" be radio controlled or infrared?
Some terms are just retarded.
The javascript hole doesn't work on google, but I found an even worse bug that allows you to pass along ASM in a search string!

Funny, I thought Tesla pulled off the ultimate hack.
In other news, filmmaker George Lucas is filing suit against Disney, claiming that "light cycle" comes too close to his trademark.

"...forming pillar-like structures..."
Uh oh, don't let Yahoo hear about this.
More than anything, the comment was self-referential. I know how I come across on my site, and I'm sure as hell not the only one.
Yay, bitterness.
Mmmmmm, pi

If you need me, I'll be doing a preliminary victory dance over in the QBASIC camp...
