No, but I haven't paid any attention to what Hollywood does in many years. For the most part they tend to market themselves to the lowest common denominator (for example, computer graphics and explosions in place of well written stories) and I have no interest in that. I find my entertainment elsewhere and am happier for it. The same goes for music. I stay away from commercial radio and I listen to indie artists who are free to practice their art as they see fit.
I was wondering about the airliners too when I heard about the 9-11 type threat. Does this mean the TSA is going to be screening us before we get into the theatre checking our shoes and the like? For our safety of course!
In this case the patent doesn't expire until July. The company is moving people over to a once a day pill now so that when the patent for the twice a day pill expires people won't want to go back to having to take a pill two times a day even if it saves them money.
You would think that the professors should have been taught that skill too but from my time at university it was a skill sorely lacking. They were there for the research that they had done and not for their ability to pass information on to students.
On the other hand because he didn't use any of the additional resources such as going in during office hours of the extra tutorials etc he freed up some time that had been allocated for him to be used for others.
Heroes? They aren't heroes! They crawled back home in suburbia crying all the way to their office jobs and got a prescription for Prozac to deal with their PTSD while leaving the prisoners to be tortured and rot in Gitmo. Some heroes. A hero would have gotten a gun and stopped them from being tortured. A hero would have stood up on prime-time television and told the world what they saw in order to get it stopped. Being a hero means risking it all for doing something that believe so strongly in. Asking for a transfer to another division because you can't stand seeing someone tortured isn't not heroic.
You can want the plans for an aircraft carrier for more than one reason than just building a copy. For example, looking at vulnerabilities or selling them on to other interested parties.
Unless you are really lucky then you are right with your first sentence. If you stay then you just end up hurting your head as you bang it in frustration trying to teach management. Better to go find someplace else that aligns better with your values.
Just because we happen to be the most efficient at converting the environment to products for our use does not make us the most intelligent species on the planet. Considering all of the harm that we are doing to the environment due to our shortsightedness I would contend that we aren't nearly as smart as most of us think we are.
if the charges are dropped or thrown out of court then the police must not only tweet a retraction they must pay to have it placed in all of the local daily newspapers, one retraction per single page of the paper with no other stories or advertising. If you are going to shame someone then your errors are going to have to be broadcast more publicly.
There won't be any libel convictions because the police will be tweeting that a person has been arrested for DUI which is true. The person had been arrested. If they leave out the arrested part and just say that X has been drinking and driving then they leave themselves open to a libel case once a judge tosses the charges.
We all chip in for the treatment because it improves society. Plus it's cheaper than paying the medical bills for the family of four that he's going to crash into one night coming home from a bender.
Sell their car and use the proceeds to fund the treatment. That way even if the treatment doesn't work at least they won't be able to drink and drive! (/s in case you were wondering.)
Best course I took at university was assembly on a simulated CPU which showed me exactly what was going on when I issuing commands. Made me realize what was happening down in lower levels. While I don't touch assembly at all anymore (and never did after that course) the way it made me think about how the computer works definitely turned me into a better developer today. For a very basic example, because I had the experience with the simulator and saw what happened with function calls it's easy to explain why a factorial implementation that uses recursion will be slower than one that just uses a loop.
Do you hold the search engine responsible for all of the thinking that people do? If a person searches for "X remedy" for some sickness they have and happens to come across a treatment that causes them harm then you don't blame the search engine. You expect them to look into it and exercise a bit of common sense. If I search on a person and it comes back with a list of news articles that says they were arrested for child pornography then I don't leap to the assumption that they were guilty. I would look further to see if there was a trial and the outcome of the case. Granted, I am not everyone. The search engine isn't going out and accusing anyone of anything. It's just aggregating documents. If you have a problem with the search results then deal with the documents.

Should have saved the money and used the vacuum in his head to test the rockets instead.

You do realize that most farmed fish are fed primarily a diet of fish caught from the wild?
I've got one of those too and they are very good. I got it specifically because it does the cup at a time. Their tea maker is amazing.

After all by providing a link into the building where the content was stored they enabled the theft to happen.
And there will be something for virtual reality tossed in.
Oh, they've trimmed it down?
Well, the Phoenix name could be used again and be symbolic as well.
You certainly showed him.
the roaming charges you could rack up!

Yeah but you have to try really hard to get indicted today. (Or not be very rich in which case they don't want you.)
