Though I have mod points, and am mostly agree with your post, I am obliged to point out that Howard Dean is not quite stiff. Unkown yes, possibly liberal ; but stiff no. In the past 10 years since he became governor, my home state of VT has added a 100 million dollar surplus, health care for all children as well as licensed civil unions (gay marriage by any other name).

The chief information officer of the state of Utah, Phillip J. Windley, wrote Mr. Jones about his interest in using the symbols in state office buildings. "I was struck immediately when I was reading about war chalking that it was a way to solve a problem that we had, which is we have 22,000 people going to conference rooms in buildings that they don't necessarily work in every day," Mr. Windley said in an interview. "How do you tell them that there's wireless there?"
Mr. Windley also likes the viruslike nature of the idea -- users will teach one another the symbols. Mr. Windley said he is already planning the signs as he prepares to deploy Wi-Fi in the most heavily trafficked buildings. "As we roll networks out, we'll put the signage out with the networks," he said.
In my father's home town of south royalton, i-89 (the only major interstate in VT) was built to not interfere with a particular landowner's property. He was told this by a childhood aquaintance, now working for as a Historian for the state, whose land got divided by the interstate.
In the June 24th issue of TIME, they do a summary of this story in the Notebook. What's curious is that amongst the four listed by Dean as possibilities, Buchanan is listed as not having explicitly denied being Deep Throat in the past. The other 2 non-explicit replies, from Press Secretary Zeigler and speech-writer Ray Price, imply that Deep throat is/was not just one person.
Of the four, my admittedly biased knowledge of the facts leads me to seriously consider Buchanan as the source known as Deep Throat. He's always been a bit of a maverick, hanging out with Hunter S. Thompson while Buchanan was the top Nixon speech-writer and HST was writing Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 and his topsy-turvy relationship to his political parties come to mind as immediate examples.
Dr. Bill Gates: There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Dr. Steve Balmer: What? Dr. Bill Gates: Don't release the source. Dr. Steve Balmer: Why? Dr. Bill Gates: It would be bad. Dr. Steve Balmer: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"? Dr. Bill Gates: Try to imagine the Windows monopoly and the city of Redmond stopping instantaneously and every dollar in your bank account exploding at the speed of litigation. Dr. Paul Allen: Total portfolio reversal. Dr. Steve Balmer: That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip, thanks Bill.
ILM says they have rarely seen artists get excited by hardware, but artists fought to get the new Linux workstations--Dell single-CPU P4s with NVIDIA Quadra 2 Pro graphics cards. The question became, ``Where's my Linux box?''
ILM is comfortable with multiple platforms. Its 1,400 employees use a variety of operating systems. The art department has Macs, with the rotoscopers and painters transitioning to OS X. Hendrickson sees OS X as a possible player. ``What attracts us is the BSD-like Darwin core and network compatibility.'' ILM has few Windows boxes, besides those on business side. ``There's no advantage to a Windows conversion for us'', says Hendrickson. ``We're a UNIX shop and probably always will be.''
Nice to see ILM is keeping with the times. When Phantom Menace came out, SGI had promotional info up about SGI [origin?] servers and EP I. Fast forward three years and we have come upon another case of Linux and [relativel] commodity hardware changing the heart of a big Iron SGI all-star. ILM did have a JEDI Pact with SGI not too long ago, but as was inferred in the article, its really hard to compete with free (as in beer) in the shrinking-margin world of SFX.
FWIW, On the Ep I DVD Making of Documentary, OS 9 was visible durinag a photoshopping session, Windows (or a GUI clone) for Motion capture and unix (presumably IRIX) for the rest.
Perhaps more importantly, this could sap mindshare and community away from Linux. How many Enterprises would field an MS-supported Open Source OS before Linux? A lot, I think.
I read an article in Forbes a while ago that did a good job of explaining Wolfram to lay-people [business-oriented people, obviously] and also gave some hints at his reputation for arrogance. Stephen also has a list of his recent press coverage.
Reeves won't elaborate on that particular shot , but he does give the following overview of the trilogy: "The first one is about birth," says Reeves. "The second one is life; the third is death." Thanks, Keanu.
Keanu - "I know Kung Fu" Alex Trebec - "For the last time, no you don't"
Unless Attack of the Clones can not only get beyond the general bad feeling that TPM left us with, and double its previous film's openning weekend intake, it won't manage it.
I saw both Harry Potter and Spider-Man in the same venue (United Arists THX @ 14th St./Union Square in NYC) on the 3rd and 2nd nights of release respectively, around 10:00pm. In November, I was hoping too see a Star Wars trailer. The final trailer before HP was Forbidden love and Clone War played before Spidey.
The fanboys who were sitting on my right at Harry Potter snickered "It's going to suck as much as the last one." While it may be indicative of people being excited about Spider-man, its worth noting that a large portion of the crowd cheered at the first sight of the Lucasfilm Logo saturday evening.
People will see AotC. The latest previews that have been pounding TV and the net have shown glimpses of an epic Star Wars movie in the vein of the original trilogy. Think vintage star destroyers lifting off for battle at sunset, Angst-ridden 20 somethings name Skywalker riding hover vehicles alone on Tatooine, Kenobi arm chopping in the cantina and Elder Jedi's complaining about the youngins. Think "As my first act, I will create a grand army of the Republic, It would be living a lie, I can't do that Anikin; I can't do that - can you?." Menace's peace negotioations and pre imperial-revolution ground battle were not on the same scale. "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war; We haven't much time; Begin landing your troops."
I think AotC has plenty of buzz on its side and will probably live up to it for a large percentage of the public. Lucas has a co-writer this time around which i helping the dialog, and the material seems to be fairly action packed
Let's take a look at the properties of simultaneous viewing of Pink Floyd's seminal album the Dark Side of the Moon and Victor Fleming's 1939 MGM Motion Picture The Wizard of Oz.
As I recall, due to post WWII treaties, Japan is forbidden from allocating more than a certain amount (2% +/-) of its national budget towards its Military. Which is probably why Tom Clancy chose an unnamed Japanese Coproration as the McGuffin for Executive Orders.

Probably redundant, but that episode also harkened to Bush's fairly infamous statement "We're going to keep trying to strengthen the American family. To make them more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons.

Though I have mod points, and am mostly agree with your post, I am obliged to point out that Howard Dean is not quite stiff. Unkown yes, possibly liberal ; but stiff no. In the past 10 years since he became governor, my home state of VT has added a 100 million dollar surplus, health care for all children as well as licensed civil unions (gay marriage by any other name).
It is also worth noting that his forst term began not with an election, but with the death of governor Snelling, when Dean was Lieutenant Governor.
And as I'm sure is quite obvious from Seanator Jeffords defection from the Republican party two years ago, Vermonters don't care too much for W.

FWIW, On the Ep I DVD Making of Documentary, OS 9 was visible durinag a photoshopping session, Windows (or a GUI clone) for Motion capture and unix (presumably IRIX) for the rest.
Perhaps more importantly, this could sap mindshare and community away from Linux. How many Enterprises would field an MS-supported Open Source OS before Linux? A lot, I think.
Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.
I read an article in Forbes a while ago that did a good job of explaining Wolfram to lay-people [business-oriented people, obviously] and also gave some hints at his reputation for arrogance. Stephen also has a list of his recent press coverage.
Not to get picky, but I think Dick Cheney is more the Vader type, what with the pacemaker and all. Colin Powell doesn't do dirty work.
Reeves won't elaborate on that particular shot , but he does give the following overview of the trilogy: "The first one is about birth," says Reeves. "The second one is life; the third is death." Thanks, Keanu.
Keanu - "I know Kung Fu"
Alex Trebec - "For the last time, no you don't"
Unless Attack of the Clones can not only get beyond the general bad feeling that TPM left us with, and double its previous film's openning weekend intake, it won't manage it.
I saw both Harry Potter and Spider-Man in the same venue (United Arists THX @ 14th St./Union Square in NYC) on the 3rd and 2nd nights of release respectively, around 10:00pm. In November, I was hoping too see a Star Wars trailer. The final trailer before HP was Forbidden love and Clone War played before Spidey.
The fanboys who were sitting on my right at Harry Potter snickered "It's going to suck as much as the last one." While it may be indicative of people being excited about Spider-man, its worth noting that a large portion of the crowd cheered at the first sight of the Lucasfilm Logo saturday evening.
People will see AotC. The latest previews that have been pounding TV and the net have shown glimpses of an epic Star Wars movie in the vein of the original trilogy. Think vintage star destroyers lifting off for battle at sunset, Angst-ridden 20 somethings name Skywalker riding hover vehicles alone on Tatooine, Kenobi arm chopping in the cantina and Elder Jedi's complaining about the youngins. Think "As my first act, I will create a grand army of the Republic, It would be living a lie, I can't do that Anikin; I can't do that - can you? ." Menace's peace negotioations and pre imperial-revolution ground battle were not on the same scale. "I will not condone a course of action that will lead us to war; We haven't much time; Begin landing your troops."
I think AotC has plenty of buzz on its side and will probably live up to it for a large percentage of the public. Lucas has a co-writer this time around which i helping the dialog, and the material seems to be fairly action packed
.Let's take a look at the properties of simultaneous viewing of Pink Floyd's seminal album the Dark Side of the Moon and Victor Fleming's 1939 MGM Motion Picture The Wizard of Oz.
As I recall, due to post WWII treaties, Japan is forbidden from allocating more than a certain amount (2% +/-) of its national budget towards its Military. Which is probably why Tom Clancy chose an unnamed Japanese Coproration as the McGuffin for Executive Orders.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these
