I've always felt super-hero movies should be pretty simple, with obvious good guys to root for, a plot that makes sense, a macguffin that matters (destroying the universe, for example) , and some decent action scenes. Thor gave us all of these.
There's nothing wrong with a film being just about the spectacle, and there's plenty of spectacle here.
Because it's old enough and common enough that clients and firewalls are designed to handle the protocol, so even with all its drawbacks, it's still pretty reliable.
Right. They obviously missed subtle clues like the jingoistic propaganda clips, the "only soldiers are citizens", and the stark contrast between the positive portrayal of the war and people getting limbs and head blown off.
Verhoeven's next film will have a guy with a baseball bat labelled "satire", whacking the caera every time something satirical happens.
Do you also boycott any movie with Tom Cruise in? Because Scientology is probably more harmful than anti-gay rights. They're pretty clearly losing the battle in the US.
Right. The obvious thing to do wuld be to say "I'm not going to broadcast this. Give me a private line with your new head of IT and I'll give it to him/her".
I do feel a bit sorry for Childs though. He clearly didn't have a good grasp on normal human interaction, and his supervisor completely failed to take accont of his oddness. And it's not like this sort of person is unheard of in IT.
So we have satellites - limited in that they can't really be steered; the U2 - which I gather is still in service, and pretty effective for spying on countries without good air defence; and pilotless drones - which I would expect to be able to cover most of the areas where a U2 would be at too great a risk.
Is there actually a need for a hypersonic spy plane?
From reports, it seems that they didn't know. Feinstein has made several statements critical of the NSA both for overreach and for not keeping the Senate Intelligence committee informed.
It's always intrigued me that planetary distances (if you include Ceres) follow so neatly to a logarithmic pattern. I wonder if this is something unusual in the solar system.
Would guncotton be a better propellant? Instructions are easy enough to find online. I seem to recall from Mythbusters they found it a lot easier to make than effective black powder.
Is there really a risk of "organised crime groups" making plastic guns? My understanding is that the ones that have been made are more proof of concept than something that would actually be particularly useful. On the other hand, there are plenty of places in Europe where guns are available, and hundreds of people take the ferry (or Le Shuttle through the tunnel) to and from Europe every day so if you really want to get hold of them, it's not going to be difficult.
Do wonder why the police raided this guy in the first place. I assume they didn't just pick a house at random hoping they might find soemthing they can chage someone with.
Most countries have a loser pays system. They usually have mechanisms to prevent one side inflating their own costs. It's really a solved problem, but for some reason people always think that legal issues are unique to their own country.
A troll could patent a semi-obvious modification to a car engine for example, and use the same business model against various engineering firms. I think there's something about the culture of software development that makes us more susceptible to patent trolling, which would explain why trolls mostly use software patents, but other industries aren't immune.
Or maybe usign a touch screen is different from plastering.
Not sure how, or why, but considering this seems to be a problem for touch screen users and not for the various other occupations, it seems this could be the case.
Why should poorly constructed comments be OK when they refer to proper editing?
You're quite right. I concede that my comments should also be correctly edited. It's not really relevant though, except as an ad hominem. Even iff i make dozen's f mistakes, it doesn;t effect weather or not slashdot articles should be competiently edited.
Point taken about rudeness (although that's not uncommon amongst slashdotters). I do think that Slashdot editors could edit once in a while though; providing the information would be good form.
Most non-US publications will refer to "US President Barrack Obama" for prety much this reason even though it would be pretty astounding to find someone who doesn't know who Barrack Obama is. Adding the word "British" to the headline would have made this more immediately comprehensible.

You don't need the client to handle the protocol. You just need it to handle the particular implementation GIMP is using. Same with a firewall.
As long as it's supported by near enough all fiewalls and clients then it will work.

Fair enough.

In my opinion, none whatsoever. Others disagree, and feel that a public show of support can cause change. I may be wrong an they may be right.
The reason for many protests is to show support for a cause. Not to get arrested.

Aple do have the second largest market share in the smartphone market. I doubt they'd have anything likethat share if they made Android phones.
Hi grandpa. I think what you meant to say was "It's just noise! It all sounds the same and I can't understand the lyrics. And get of my damn lawn!"
Shouldn't be too hard. Lets see...
20 mati*sqrt(hecans).

It's the gravity. You're actually seeing one "would", but the gravity bends light around that you see it again in a different apparent position.
It's a car analogy, so therefore legit.
I like the idea of using electric ignition.

It's not just the US that thinks this way.

True. I think that's a separate issue though.

No. Just poor editing.

Sure, as a non professional, I occasionally make mistakes. It's a comment though, not a front page article.
I have no idea why you think that submitted stories aren't edited.
