I didn't find it dark at all, not nearly as dark as the tales Disney sanitized. I mean, it's about a gambler who beats both God and the Devil even if he has lousy luck with mortals prior to getting rigged cards and dice.
I see what you are saying, however there is a difference between dying for a cause and dying because of a cause.
Had the Taliban successfully snuffed her, she'd already be a martyr -- and a reinforcement why the Taliban must be stopped. Malala gets recognised for standing up for her rights, whether she got capped or not... the fact that she took one to the lobe made her voice louder, and the fact that she lived means she will not soon be forgotten like most martyrs because she can still speak.
Malala gets this one hands-down. Both made very important statements we must pay attention to, but a fucking headshot beats hanging out in a Russian airport IMHO.
The old saying is that if you had a good experience you'll tell one person but if you have a bad experience you'll tell ten. Does this system take the word "sucked" after the name of a program into account? Because if networks think that everyone's watching Stupid Sitcom because people have been talking about how inane the commercials make it out to be, they're missing the point. Nielsen monitors how many people change the channel, while going by Facebook results (by tally, not by content) doesn't represent those click-offs.
Not that I care if a network making a crappy show thinks it's hot shit or anything, but they could be giving more airtime to underrated good shows rather than putting more emphasis on lousy shows everyone's dissing on.
Ovaries are internal, and protected from shock. Testacles are right there on the seat, taking all the shock. So by that logic, ergo: Men shouldn't drive, it lowers sperm count and virility... let women do the driving.
I think that boy has been driving with his head(s) on the axle a bit too long.
MS has cash to burn and sees the writing on the wall for its current business lines - it MUST make changes to survive.
That's the only thing I was going to say in reply: they're doing it a) in hopes they eventually win (they do have a track record of getting it right for a little while in time), and b) because they can.
Yesterday when the announcement was made [ http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/13/09/23/197258/microsoft-takes-another-stab-at-tablets-unveils-surface-2-surface-2-pro ] several responders here identified reasons why they'd go once more into the breech of a sinking ship. Which mostly boiled down to: because you don't learn anything the second time the mule kicks you.
Also, let's think about Ballmer for a moment -- he was at or near the helm when Microsoft was not a devices company, a move he has publicly kicked himself over because MSFT missed an opportunity. He won't let that happen again, even though that ship he's trying to hop has already pulled from the dock and in his first leap he landed in the drink.
There will be less piracy of Barney videos and KidzBop disks, but this isn't going to affect Justin Bieber's work much. It's after grade 6 that people start watching and listening to stuff the RIAA and MPAA are annoyed people want to consume without paying for!!
I read the list of prices for accessories (more power, keyboards, etc.) and thought, "only Apple can get away with charging an arm, leg, and testicle for pieces parts". A bare Surface costs $450, two to four times what anyone else's tablet costs, but when you buy the doodads to make it impressive then you've doubled the cost. And while we might not flinch at a $900 notebook computer, $900 for a tablet is a stretch.
But we'll see how many Win 8.1 tablet fanboys will shell out like they were Macintosh and iThingie fanboys of the last thirty years.
You made a Warner Bros cartoon featuring Wile E. Coyote come to mind, with the copter doing a sudden jump up and all the drones crashing nose-first midair.

Basically the Tootsie Roll concept spoken of has been in use for decades, this ain't new.
This is how I learned math in the first grade, and is very much visual in how fractions work.

You could call your company "To SIRR With Love".
I think you're onto something and I wish I had karma to offer.
The acting on 'The Love Boat' was previous art of robots inspecting ships.

Thirsty ones.
because Miss Swindle was stuck in meetings.
Season 13 looks to be a catastrophic tragedy indeed.
must... maintain... social... RELEVANCE! add... value!!
If a Kardashian so much as farts, word goes out like it were an Amber Alert.
But more seriously, Twitter has been used in Egypt's turmoil and other real-world events. This just formalizes what's already being done by its users.
It's Nadsat and yes, yarbs are bollocks.
This does exist in the Seattle area.

Why should the likes of Dun & Bradstreet or LexusNexus have any fun at all?

I already commented so can't give you a mod point, but yes. Exactly. Insert Gretzky quote here.
