I heard Dr Demento play "Prisoner of Love" decades before I found out Bob and Tom were a radio show. The good Dr's show was also the first place I ever heard John Boy and Billy's Porky Pig version of "Blue Christmas".
In the early 80's, it was syndicated to local radio stations on vinyl, with national ads within segments and local ads between.
One week, the local station where I listened played the first half of the show, but couldn't play the second half, because the record containing the second half had a "hole" in it. The local DJ described the problem for listeners, and then went back to playing the regular format music.
Never, never, EVER punch your PIN into a pad that is not attached to an ATM machine that is owned by your financial institution. And even then, pay close attention.
My SO is taking nursing classes right now, in a class that is mostly female with a handful of males sprinkled in. It turns out that hospitals need a certain number of male nurses for specific tasks (heavy lifting, if you will) and the relatively small number of men going into the field means that those men that do pursue a career can have their pick of jobs.
I'll just stay here and keep grinding code though.
That is obscure, even more than I thought. Wikipedia has a very incomplete list of ceremonies and winners. And if Wikipedia doesn't have it, you know it's obscure.
Tried to find a link, but its apparently just too obscure, so I'll go from memory. Carl Reiner was presented some sort of lifetime achievement award by Mel Brooks, who played it as if Reiner had been a total fake all those years, and this was the last straw. The camera cut to shots of protesters with signs reading "Reiner isn't funny", and then Mel accuses Reiner of forcing him to wear a fake Jewish nose. Brooks then proceeds to remove his fake rubber nose, revealing a decidedly less ethnic one underneath, pointing at it and shouting "I have a gentile nose!".
Of course the gentile nose was a fake one on top of his actual nose. But if Mel Brooks can rock not one but two fake noses long enough to present an award, then airport security should be a piece of matzo.
Its not just the slashtards. Ryan Singel at Wired was spouting this exact same gibberish just two days ago. Of course, these are the same people who are in denial of the Brazilian power grid attacks.
The idea that the US Government would fabricate information to justify a corrupt agenda is ridiculous.
It also said that the Department of Homeland Security, which would run the program, would share malicious code data with the NSA but not the content of communications, such as e-mails.
... because they already have that from the network providers.
My users already hate the CAPTCHA text they have to enter to reset their forum password. CAPTCHA on an error message would bring out the torches and pitchforks.
Several Firefox dialogs have a countdown timer, so the message has to stay visible for a certain amount of time before you can clear it. That seems a bit less intrusive. And there is always Windows XP's system-modal shutdown prompt, where the rest of the screen slowly goes monochrome if you wait long enough.
If they tried to continue it, that would require getting back all the original actors (except Wash and Book since they're dead), which might not be possible.
200 workers were on the L18 line, and they make up 3% of the plant, so the plant is about 6500 total workers. Of the 200, 150 will be laid off, and "about 50 workers related to L18 work are being absorbed into other areas of the plant".
I don't see what that has to do with copyright at all.
The reason copyright terms have been extended so many times for so long is that large corporate media has exerted its large influence in Congress to get these laws passed. The interests of the general public are not represented by lobbyists, giving the corporations a monopoly on the attention of Congress. Limiting the size (and thereby the power) of these corporations would break part of that monopoly power.
Um, empty stroller? All of the shots are outside, so no sets or lights were required. Presumably several of the buildings were local landmarks (which males even cooler to see them blown up).
The camcorder could have been borrowed or rented, or even bought-and-returned ala Superbowl Sunday big-screen TVs.
I would really like to know about the software.
Film geeks will recognize the stroller shot as an homage to the Odessa Steps sequence from The Battleship Potemkin.
While I'm certain that's part of the issue, I think you're missing a more obvious difference - the form-factor.
Shape is important also. When you are replacing a laptop battery, the new battery has to fit into the space left by the old one. Typically, this means that it has to be made for your exact model of laptop (or at least your model line, if you're lucky). And don't even get me started about laptop AC adapters.
Power tool batteries are designed to be interchangeable at least between the same brand of tools, and compact size is sacrificed for it. Sure, the drill could be a little smaller if it had a drill-shaped custom battery, but then the same battery wouldn't work in the circular saw.
I was eleven. I sort of remember thinking that trying to make up words to go with an orchestral movie score was a bad idea. I would have said "oh, no they didn't" if anybody had been saying that back then.

Just thinking about it gives me the Existential Blues.
All right then, since you find it so funny, could you explain the joke to me?
Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better when you're done, but the frog dies.
What is a person that suffers from this linguistical malady called? There must be a more clinical and less pejorative term than 'idiot.'
If you do it while singing, its called Chronic Lyricosis.

Same thing happens in the US.

Tux Typing is similar with falling words, but cuter with cool sound effects.

Limit the maximum size of corporations.
Hear that, AIG? Too big to fail is too big to exist.
