It isn't a re-make. Please stop your useless uninformed conjecture.
We know its not a remake. Its an evolution of what Flynn's character after the first movie. We understand that. I have to tell ya tho, It is one of my 4 favorite movies and just plain fun. It's Disney so that tells you something too.
No shit. That's what made the whole movie. In fact, I WISH they would have kept the graphics the way they were. Granted the names:RAM, MCP, CLU, TRON (yes the name is kinda hokey, but...) At least it gave you a whole 'you are truly in cyberspace' look and feel. From what I've seen, its 'lets remake reality as real as we can". Lost the cyber mystique totally.
Do you know how insanely boring it is to sit in a rocking chair and stare at a wall for 8 hours a day to breastfeed your baby? I've gotten quite far in Angry Birds on my iPhone in the 10 weeks since my son was born. I would kill for a full computer I could operate without my hands.
You gotta be some seriously pathetic Internet Junkie if you can't tear yourself away from surfing the web while taking care of a baby. Sad. REALLY freakin' sad people.
Why haven't we had this sooner? Seems a no-brainer to put most car display on a HUD. I'm talking basic automotive display not navigation or other distracting display. We need this NOW. Maybe more people would be more conscious of what they are doing, what the condition of the car is and gee, keep their eyes up and more on the road.
Why not make a paint ball - filled with wretched smelling stuff/tear gas, etc - incapacitate the whole boat. Or make it filled with infra red visible paint - then the Navy can do a flyover, pick out the boat and sink it.
Requires accurate aim. This device seems to act like a broader ranging weapon. Also environmental concerns using inks/dyes/chemicals. Comments have been made that this device's net or rope is also a hazard to marine life. Quite possibly, but at that distance from shore I wonder what would be affected.
Re-reading this and trying to understand its base meaning, I believe it is in reference to any sort of public address or otherwise performance which is subject to the Miller Test [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test] which is NOT protected by First Ammendment Rights. I believe it would be:
1) open to great interpretation 2) have to pass some sort of test to determine its violation 3) must be directed at a group of people.
One case would be any exhibit or performance or assembly whereby the subject matter is considered by an society, to be in offense or directly offensive to another party or group.
Another might be where those who were charged with the violation were to have produced orally or in another material, subject matter that was in appropriate to minors, as deemed by society.
Still another would be assembly by any group wishing to disseminate hate or otherwise offensive material in any area which is deemed public.
I do not think this applies to individuals who would openly and verbally use profanity or offensive language, save that which might be deemed hate language or in communicating a threat.
you're just full of shit and won't admit that linux fails on its own.
it fails like a fucking aids faggot dying in a thrid rate motel from his faggot disease. the days of linsux is numbered! steve jobs has shoved a knife in it's faggot ass. you linfux bitches are done! linux will never go anywhere and you've wasted your time. bitch.
In the South we have our units of measure as well:
A piece - some distance Yonder - over there a piece Down there - somewhere Up the way - over yonder a piece. Boat load - a bunch of something Shit load - a great bunch of something Ass load - more than one shit load Y'all - a group of people being addressed All y'all - every one of you Buncha - a group of something
Most of these are indeterminate as we here in the South really don't need to know or care for the exact amount.
Personally I'd be in favour of changing to all metric, but road signs are the major problem. Changing mph to kph and miles to kilometres across the whole country, then educating everyone about the change would be crazily hard.
Here in America, they tried that during the '70s and some in the '80s but it never caught on.
Just think, trying to change a whole nation like the US when just my state is about the same size as England (not UK). Talk about crazily hard.
Talk about chicken salad from chicken shit. That is one hellova good retouch job to get that level of detail from such a poor picture. Must be some secret CIA imaging system...
Yep. Hollywood and the media got what they wanted.
In general, the American people will believe what they see and hear on the o'l boob tube. Just look at CNBC. I watch that all the time and mostly hear "gloom and doom". Mind you, things are not great, but when the masses hear and see what the media pushes, they react in kind.
There's one other thing the President can do that can have far-reaching effects - the President gets to appoint replacements for the Supreme Court. (For example, if McCain were to somehow win, he could appoint more conservative judges, and they could then invalidate Roe v. Wade.)

What do you expect. Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.

Take the original TRON for what its worth.

Right. My point exactly.

stars.
So can we _now_ agree there _is_ such a thing as Spanish Fly? Huh?
I forget, are we supposed to take the red pill or the blue one?

Think about that angle
And you live in?

Having a bad time of your own eh.....
Its just a bad time overall.
Very similar to how Public Broadcast System in the US used to work.
ie: "Sunkist Raisins proudly supports PBS programming and the development of young minds through proper nutrition"
Neutral and relevant to the theme of PBS and still gets advert message across.
Then it ceases to be a free source of information. Won't work even as you suggest. Still honor system and how would they pay? Paypal?
Too complicated.

A piece - some distance

Boat load - a bunch of something
Shit load - a great bunch of something
Ass load - more than one shit load
Y'all - a group of people being addressed
All y'all - every one of you
Buncha - a group of something

No foolin'. (yes, sarchasm)
kill -9 /bin/laden
In my fifteen years as a *NIX admin, I have only had three really "OH SHIT!" moments:
1) when I told a guy over the phone to 'rm -rf /bin' but unknowingly he was at "/". Oooops.
2) ssh'd into one box, then ssh'd back to the box I was on and ran 'shutdown -h now'. not-so-oooops.
3) took out a server while in some directory buried in /usr/ and did the same 'rm -rf /bin' thinking I was removing bin/. Doh!!!
I always run as root. Baaaaaad admin. Bad admin. Sorry guys. It makes one REALLY careful tho.

Well said and quite true!
