I used to work on Times Square, and due to the number of slack-jawed midwesterners I had to wade through on my lunch break, I'd assume the theaters are doing fine nowadays...
But I wish the "blurb" had left brain size out of the mix. If brain size has anything to do with intelligence (within a group), then humans would be in the zoo & elephants would be running the show.
I once heard an evolutionary theorist at an AMNH lecture say that in terms of brain to body mass nothing beats a baby chihuaha. Seriously.
Or even "aspiring playwright who's only working temporarily as an aphid herder", "jazz saxophonist who's carrying food to the queen until he gets a good gig", etc.
Who cares? It's not like he'll be able to cite tlc.discovery.com in court. You all are way too concerned with PR. Trust me, I've met the kind of people who spend all their time obsessed with this kind of thing. They work in marketing. You don't want to end up like them.
I really don't understand why Plasma still exists!
Damn it, don't you know what happens if you want some physical element to disappear? Haven't you watched Mystery Science Theater 3000? First of all, some anthropomorphic version of the substance you're wishing away will appear. Then he'll bring you on an "It's A Wonderful Life"-style alternative reality, where plasma doesn't exist.
But you won't be able to see anything!
"Sure it's dark, without plasma those fancy lamps of yours don't work"
So you'll be like, "well that's alright, I'll just open the shades and let in the sunlight...hey, where's the sun?"
And Plasmy will be like, "without plasma, there is no sun!", and so on.
Eventually you'll repent the error of your ways and beg Plasmy to bring plasma back. Then when he does you'll spend the rest of your life boring your friends by telling them how useful plasma is.
That doesn't really fall within IT training though, more like civics or ethics. These kids know exactly what they're doing, and they're doing it on purpose.
The United States of America is a republic, dumb ass.
Why don't you, and everyone reading this who doesn't understand this simple point, just repeat to themselves 30 times every night before they go to bed:
A republic and a democracy are not two mutually exclusive things.

That's just Canadian funny money, not worth anything...
This is flamebait because people have been crying wolf about Macintosh OS's going x86 for years,
How on Earth does "IF OSX was on x86" equal "OSX WILL BE on x86"?
Yep, I worked at a place like that. Your breakdown looks quite accurate.

I think the universe might disagree.
That universe, thinks he's so smart...

Then we'll find something else. Hey, maybe we can resurrect gopher...and fidonet...
Comcast's rates passed the Moon a while ago, and are currently passing the moons of Jupiter.
Loors?
You can appeal things that happen before the actual trial (and "trial" covers civil and criminal cases); happens all the time.
How would he win if he loses? If he can't use the name Lindows anymore, then all the publicity around the name will have been worthless.
Yep. If I remember back far enough it was posted at least once on slashdot too. Maybe twice.

What are you smoking? The Matrix was alright, but VASTLY overrated. Any of the original SW trilogy (yes, even the third one) beats it.
Like his previous project, K-bot, Hanson sculpted Hertz to resemble his girlfriend.

Do you really want to go through that? DO YOU?
I hope some other multinational conglomeration doesn't steamroll over them and buy them out.

Aspiring young hackers?! Aspiring young hackers don't cut and paste other people's code.
Sure they do. It's called "open source".

Who's us? I find both of those excuses unconvincing.
Kind of odd, typically you sue in your jurisdiction if you can, gives you the home field advantage and less of an expense to litigate.
Would it be fair to send humans to Mars and just watch their bodies essentially turn to jello from the lack of gravity?
I, and the majority of people here would jump at the chance, despite the risks.
