I guess you think the world functions on the Plato's form model, where things achieve some kind of software perfection. They don't. Not with software or most any other product.
Manufactures don't have to make things perfect or even try. They only have to build something slightly better than the competition. For a real world example, look up the story of Henry Ford looking at his cars in the junkyard.
Here's a car analogy for you; By your standard, if you buy a new car, and the manufacture 'knows' that the hoses and tires will wear out after so many miles/years, then they: 1. Sold it to you knowingly defective. 2. Have a responsibility to give you free tires, hoses, belts, etc. forever.
Don't put your bag on the belt until the previous person has cleared the detector.
There are actually teams of two that work this way:
Bad#1 Walks through detector You put your stuff on the belt Bad#2 Gets delayed at the detector (Ooops! I forgot those keys) Bad#1 Picks up your stuff Bad#2 is visually distracting you, goes though the detector again, gets delayed, or finally clears Your stuff is long gone, as is Bad#1
With millions of lines of code they also can't test every possible application and error. What you're suggesting is that no OS could be released until there are no errors whatsoever. In this case, no OS would ever be released.
An OS can't anticipate the future.
A lot of patches and drivers have to be written after gold release, because of changes and new versions of hardware, new third-party software and apps, and new types of attacks.
...an intentional short could also shut down another student's computer during a back up, or start a fire that could kill people at the worst. Bad times.
I'd like to see Chris Rock as the fast-talking wacky crypto-dude who learned his math on the mean streets and back-alleys of L.A. Every time the plot lags, he busts out a wise crack.
Outstanding point. This gives you a great response to the original request for password:
Noseycorp HR: "We'd like your FB logon and password."
You: "Ahhhhh! I get it! You're just testing me to see if I will violate my agreement with FB to honor the FB 'terms of service.' You want to see if I can be trusted to keep Noseycorp secrets secure. Well, let me assure you, I'm good at keeping a confidence, and I ALWAYS honor my business agreements."
Noseycorp HR: "No, we really want to know..."
You: "Come on, I've passed your little test! Let's move on - shall we..."
Not disagreeing but; I was just saying that a non-gun-shaped camera (on a mono-pod) would be more stable that a non-gun camera (that looks like a rifle.) Someone "armed" with the Kill Shot camera (original article) isn't any better protected from wildlife than someone with a camera that looks like a camera.
As cool as it is to have a gun looking camera, you get much more stability out of a camera on a monopod.
And to prove your hunting skills, you could use shorter and shorter prime lenses, which would force you to get closer to your 'prey.'
A screen filling head shot with a 30mm would be pretty impressive!
Comparing the US crime stats to CL; CL is definitely safer.
The 1 year FBI crime stats (for 2009) show 429.4 violent crimes per 100,000 people and 3,036.1 property crimes per 100,000 people. That yields about 0.34655 (3,465.5 crimes/100,000)

When you talk about the $ sign, I remember when it was a U interwoven with a S (for "US"). Lazy 90 year olds.

It's not released "knowingly defective."

Adobe also charges for added features, not just version upgrades (like 5 to 6) but even 5.0 to 5.5
How about "Pogo" by Walt Kelly? It reads at many levels so while he's young he will enjoy the talking animals, and as he gets older he will understand the commentary more: http://www.raggedclaws.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/walt-kelly_pogo_sunday-april-23-1950.jpg

He generally does every show's introductory announcement, too.

Yeah. If it doesn't have caffeine in it, what's the point of of loading it into the I.V. drip bag...?

Actually, all secret government posting are done on MySpace now, because nobody ever goes there...
Actually we dropped 4 on Spain in 1966. (Mk28 hydrogen bombs)
Once again, the Onion leads on this story. Twice.

No, but BD supports 50 and 59.94, so it should be possible to do a pull-down to 48fps.
Lets face it, if it was true to the book then people would have walked out of the cinema in the first 20 minutes.
...you mean, "if it was true to the book then people would have walked out of the cinema sometime during the first 54 hours."
Wait!

I just found a video of a cat that's high-larious!

...so I feel safer on CL than on the street.

CL serves 50,000,000 people in the US, and the total crimes (330 crimes, 12 murders and 105 robberies or assaults) for one year (according to the study) is 447. That yields about 0.00000894 (447 crimes/50,000,000)
