He grew up in a Human World. By definition, he is flawed and this term, ``good'' is a myth. It's a compromise of trade-offs, both of which never have perfect outcomes.
The interesting thing about Superman is (would have been) to see him remain all perfect... If Nolan & Co. had made the movie about that, and then added the whole eyecandy, awesome fights and whatnot, it would have been a much better movie.
The comic book Superman goes to a trainyard to save lives, not to get ammunition.
The comic book Superman saves the buildings from destruction, he doesn't destroy them.
The comic book Superman prevents the bad guy from knocking over skyscrapers 9/11 style, he doesn't join in.
If you treat it as a movie about a random superhero it was passable. But it absolutely was not classic Superman from the late '40s to the present in terms of the comic book.
The early 1940's Superman was an apathetic murderer who didn't care about who died or what was destroyed as long as he stopped (and usually killed) the bad guy. When Ellsworth took over he banned the character from ever killing again. This movie Superman took no notice of those who died, didn't care about the buildings or lives lost. Seems like Nolan took his cues from the wrong era of Superman.
Seems like Nolan wanted to make a major motion picture smack dab in reality as much as possible with the source material given. Any idiot can write ignorance like spinning the Earth backwards to save a girl. That satisfies morons ignorant of science. Any idiot can fantasize that a highly advanced race of beings destroying even a blade of grass on the Earth can be stopped, but that's not reality. Grow up.
This is impossible, no private enterprise builds infrastructure, works on long term projects, etc. Only governments do that.

For the sarcastically challenged: Ellison is expecting some form of a return from this purchase, all purchases that are not for consumption are investments and he is not going to 'consume' his properties, so whatever it is he does with infrastructure, etc., it's all designed to try and create revenue streams, which is what private enterprise does and which is why infrastructure projects should all be privately funded, then their economic viability, success or failure are on the backs of the owners and not tax payers.
Private Enterprise brought us low bid contracts and high maintenance future costs. Sorry, but privately funded is hilarious [all funding comes from the Central Banks in the end] on the face of it and on the merits of future maintainence. Your Libertarian wet dream can't even manage to pave private roads on large estates without those land owners fishing for tax deductions. Go find a class of 9th graders to rave about the all private mantra of bs. Equilibrium of resources and funds is a balance not only in the Laws of Nature but in our artificial constructs.
If you have to pay interns like regular employees, what's the point of hiring interns?
Never would have come to this if they weren't abusing the Internship label in the first place. No one is declaring the pay requirements--arbitrate that one out to create an acceptable internship rate. I don't pity any corporation getting slave labor and calling it a privilege and resume builder for the individual. It's a con, pure and simple.
This man may well be our Jesus. The government is going to crucify him in their fury.
One difference: This guy isn't a myth, however ignorant of his role in the NSA, he actually has a life not created by fairy tale and orchestrated fraud, like all 3 of the Abrahamic Tree of Impotence.

No. Stick with 9.x and when 9.2 arrives then install that. When 10.x officially releases 10.1 and puts 9.x into maintainance mode you still have a stable branch to u se until 10.2+ arrives and upgrade from there if you're not interested in more leading edge code. It's akin to Stable/Unstable/Experimental in Debian Linux.

Except 8.4 has:
Better hyperthreading support than 9.1
Newer ZFS features than 9.1
Better snd_uaudio and snd_hda audio drivers than 9.1
These things were MFC'd to 8-STABLE and 9-STABLE after 9.1-RELEASE, so 8.4 is really a better release an some aspects than 9.1 is.
And an update to the 9.x branch bring up all those features will make 8.4 a wash for 9.x users. It's great news for 8.x branch users.

We could have Statham with Seth Green impersonating him ala Italian Job.
Nope, the Iris 5200 wipes the floor with the A10. You're probably referring to the low end HD 4600 in the i7 (which they put there because they expect no one buying an i7 to be using integrated graphics).
I look forward to you eating it when the APUs based on Steamroller waltz in and slap the shit out of this overpriced heater.
Wait till you get to replace those batteries and discover the real costs:D
From what I've read about the Prius the battery life is exceeding expectations by a wide margin.
Most drivers have never faced a battery replacement, because they are easily managing 10 years (200K miles) and the batteries
have shown no sign of needing replacement.
Admittedly it costs around 2000 to 2500 bucks when you do need a replacement, although salvage yards will sell them
to you for around $500. A cottage industry has sprung up refurbing Prius batteries.
Considering a typical Honda Accord will have two full tune-ups and maybe three of them by the time it hits 200k miles, the cost of those tune-ups will set you back equal that cost of the battery replacement, if not more. Never mind the usual replacement of struts, brakes/brakepads, exhaust system, transmission, etc.
Or perhaps you need to. One of the most disruptive periods socially and economically in ancient Egypt was the pharaoh Akhenaten's foray into monotheism (one of the first, if not the first) with Atenism. Hoards of resources were wasted on mammoth projects which were abandoned almost immediately after Akhenaten's death, and it would take generations to heal the damage of the schism which ultimately unseated the dynasty. Religion in Egypt has catalyzed both its greatest successes and failures, and it would behoove a wise student of history to study both and contrast them.
Then your argument should be that when they diverted from Polytheism to ill-fated Monotheism the great civilization sealed its fate.
An infringement on the freedom of the press, or the confidentiality of sources, is a threat to democracy regardless of whether it targets an actual news agency or a mockery thereof.
There is no Free Press in the US, unless it is publicly financed Free Press. Corporate Free Press is Press directed by leadership to maximize profits for its consortium of shareholders and board of directors. Stop whining about attacks on the Free Press when the Press is not immune to violating the laws any more than you or I. The day the Free Press embedded themselves with Commercial Profiteers is the day they opened the door to the limitations of Commercial Free Speech.
It runs deeper than that. HFS is ancient, slow and inefficient. Memory management is a joke. I'd say enough "iOSization" of OS X, OS X should really make a leap jump into an innovative desktop OS. And I say this from my Mac.
First of all it's HFS+ [and then some], and your comment about Memory Management is a joke is the real joke. Like hell Linux is an innovative OS. It's been getting worse in quality and stability since the end of 2.6.
There isn't OpenCL for Intel chip Mac either. I haven't tried it, but am told that the Windows OpenCL stuff is dog slow on the Intel 4000. Perhaps it isn't worth bothering with?
Wrong. There most certainly is OpenCL for Intel chip Macs. You may be talking about the Intel Shared Memory HD4000 portion of Intel's architecture. That's all on Intel.
...and refuse of your fellow waste expellers. There be gold in that crack. Thanks Bloomberg! We needed a report on what people have known for 50 years: Plumbers, Electricians and other Industrial Service industries jack up the consumer on their pricing.

Perhaps we can get rid of a lot of incompetent IT staffers who rushed to the Dot.com era to make a quick buck and finally get back to quality solutions, products and services. I doubt it, but one can dream.

The same people who can't credit properly throughout history are the same folks who ignore Adam Smith's premise for his Wealth of Nations: One big assumption being that all needs of a Nation have and are met leaving on the wants to be fought out by business owners miraculously all focused on convincing the consumer their product(s)/service(s) offer them the greatest value for their capital.
Seeing as no nation is remotely at the point of a nation's needs already being sustained and fulfilled how Smith's thesis became a bastion of capitalist economic theory should have one questioning the merits of this pure capitalism pipe dream.
Steve did charity. He never advertised it. He also set aside his wealth for life wife to see fit that his charities he never broadcast were continued along with her own philanthropic works.
Yes, it's a shame a vindictive billionaire, who disavowed his daughter for nearly 20 years, didn't get to see his yacht finished before he died.
Having worked for Steve, twice, you don't know a fucking thing about the man. You also don't know the inheritance he set aside for his little daughter whose mother pissed away on her own selfish desires. Lisa is the only one in that relationship who gets to bitch about the lack of one. They sure made up for lost time so please I doubt she gives two shits what your cowardly comment thinks.
Wouldn't a small amount of these phones flood a wireless spectrum? It would not take many people in an area until the speed is chopped down significantly.
Or do they have poor range and expect femtocells everywhere? But why not just WiFi at that point?
What do you think? They sure as hell expect the Telcos to pony up the spectrum mesh and not themselves. Testing at an R&D facility is fine, but to start spreading 5G around is ludicrous and a bad business strategy.
