Where is the Irony? It is just bad timing and organisation making them look inept. It isn't Ironic. You Americans don't understand Irony do you.
That American, Alanis Morrisette and her song which was dedicated to Irony and listed a series of event which while annoying were in now way Ironic.
Isn't It Ironic?, What the way you've written a song about Irony but failed to list one actually ironic example. Yes that is pretty Ironic. I was pleased to see that in 'Dogma' her voice was so bad that humans heads would explode if they heard it.
NO! have you seen Gattica? They can't be allowed to invent a hand held version!
I assume they test for something simple and in the event they think it is a fake they send it off to be DNA tested. sounds like a bit of a gimick. How long will the DNA be valid? I don't think it will do very well through a 90 degree wash with Arial Ultra.
It is not the Ultimate bike unless the wheels change shape to cope with diferent terrain and there is some sort of device that produces a sonic wave to smash glass (In case you're heading towards a pane of glass). Or is that the Ultimate Skate board?
>> Seriously, I'm a bit skeptical to the idea of construction by essentially throwing dice. Hmmm, construction by essentially throwing dice reminds me of the process used to build one of the most complex machines on earth. Humans (or mice depending on your point of view)
You are under the missguided beleif that mass is related to gravity. Gravity is not a force. An object will travel in a straight line unless effected by a force. Therefore the object is traveling in a straight line. It is the straight line that is bent (i.e. time space). That is why all objects going at the same velocity are (perceived to be)effected the same by gravity. The reason we think heavier objects are effected greater by gravity is we don't see the bent space. If a heavy ship is going parallel to the ground it takes more upward force to hold it parallel than for a small ship. This is because you are actually constantly diverting it from it's natural straight line, and this requires a greater force for a objects with higher mass.
Flush out your head gear, new guy. You think we waste gooks for freedom? This is a slaughter. If I'm gonna get my balls blown off for a word... my word is "poontang."
Because CO the film is a masterpeice. It stands alone as a peice of are in itself. The art of directing is just as valid as that of writing or painting. Now he is gone thank god for the likes of David Cronenberg.
I hope it is even a 10th as good. If you didn't like Eyes Wide Shut why care about directory. You clearly just want plot and maybe a clever twist so you can say you worked it out. Jest. It is an increadibly well directed film and we are talking about the director. You see that bit in speed when the bus jumps. You like that you do.
>There is still no theoretical way that information can travel FTL. I think you underestimate the power of the women's gossip networks!!! Now that's fast!
Everything that happens in a court is recorded and everyone can read it and dicuss it afterwards. The Judge can be critisized. Speech is only restricted before and during the trial. This stops the media making the decisions. There is no restriction as to what can be said inside court. Without this people will discuss things on TV and it all gets silly. The court needs to be unbiased by outside influences. Trial by media is so bad as they will go for the sensational angle everytime. Surely this is obvious!!!
Well we do. There is a second house which has to agree to changes in law and officially the queen has the last line and can refuse any law change (This is never used, I don't know when it was last invoked but not in my life time). The banning of hand guns was a great move for the UK. There is really no justification for them. The fact a few people lost their hobbies was a small price to pay if it stops 1 murder. I do feel sorry for the people who had their 1/2 million pound ancient dueling pistols melted down into scrap.
I think that in general it is quite a good system but it backs you into a corner. An interesting example came up when an American comedian was on an English chat show. He was upset because he had been told he couldn't talk about certain things to do with Louise Woodwood (from a legal point, i.e. he would have been in trouble with the law had he done so). He felt that his right to freedom of speech was being taken away. However the thing he didn't understand was. In the UK he was fine to come on and make comments like you know you baby sitters kill our babies but he couldn't say things about a different trial she was in because in the UK you can not talk about the details of a trial (while it is in progress). This is because the UK recognizes that the right to a fair trial is more important than the right to freedom of speech. In the US you could not make this law because it would breach the constitution and therefore you get OJ Simpson media trials. Which as a joke in a county with a giant liberty statue.
This is the whole problem with the US. The constitution is just a set of laws written in a different book. These laws are equally likely to be wrong and any society will need to change it's laws as it matures. I am not going to argue the rights and wrongs of the gun laws but it is absurd that just because a law is part of the constitution it is held in higher regard than if it is not. The constitution is just something some people wrote a long time ago to try to make a country run. It is not anything more. It is not the word of a deity, or a god. If I asked a church to change it's rules they would tell me to get lost but if I ask a country I would expect it to consider it on purely logical grounds.
Is it my imagination or is the US constitution just a set of laws? It is not a bible it is not always right. Just because something goes againt the constitution doesn't make it wrong. See 6 year old girl for details.
Sod morality, Lets make money! With the combined knowledge of/. on tech stocks. We could make serious money. Currently the trend is that most Internet floatations go very well. The key is to spot which companies have real value and which are pure media hype. One major problem we would hit would be insider information. Most of us work for some tech company or other (Except the kids and the students) and that leaves you ineligable to deal in stocks you know 'non-public' info on.
Yes, but the beta did, Only when you ran it over DR DOS instead of MS DOS. Thus killing DR DOS. Then when the actual 3.1 came out it was fine with DR DOS (odd that). Hence the start of the MS bad tricks campaigns (I am sure there were ealier examples but that was the first one to affect me.)
If we are to leave our culture to future generations movies are always a good source. Unfortunatly our DVD movies will be encrypted and if they have lost the keys they will not be accessable. The only way they could get at them would be to hack the encryption and if the future governments were very primative in their thinking then hacking enryption might be illegal and therefore they would get arrested. Then again no government could be that pathetic.

> I can't think of any GOOD game that was based on a movie. None! What about Dune? (I know that was a book before it was a film but same thing).

That way I can make a fortune on licencing from Micro$oft.
Can I patent the idea of open sourcing projects but then open source the patent so that everyone can use it? Only seems fair.

"no law," not "any law that is restricted to drugs, child pornography, infant baptism, etc." No Animal shall sleep in a bed ... with sheets.

If you check the RCS logs you'll find this is version 2.37 of the universe so God obviously does have a debugger. I think he uses some version of dbx.
