somebody will use your code...
Sorry to rain on the parade, but Sony isn't involved. The press release that came out after this one said that their involvement was "pre-final, whatever that means.
As they stated, their lawyers secured complete control of the content and ideas for Rob and Jeff. You can't go over their heads, because they are the top of the food chain.
Content? Ideas? I dunno about all of that. What I know is that they have the wrong idea about how customer service works. See, if you want to make money at this sort of thing, you go with what the customer wants whether it's right or wrong
I used to know some sort of saying about the customer, but I can't seem to remember it...
What I see from this interview is that Rob and Jeff have failed to understand what their buyout means: they aren't doing us all a favor now.
See, now they're providing a service. They're getting paid to do it. And their customers (the people like me and you that hit the page 400 billion times a day) are clamoring for certain features.
Is it time to go over their heads and talk to Andover?
Actually, Jon, I have some other complaints about the TMR than the fact that I don't live in Italy. (Though that would be nice. Sigh.)
First - the movie was great. Inspired direction, gruesome violence, heart-breaking dialogue - a lot of things ot like all wrapped up in a beautiful package. A looooooong movie, but worth the investment of time.
But the movie leaves you hanging. I want to keep this spoiler-free, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say that the ending stunk. Everyone I went with just sat there at the end saying, "No, you idiot, that's the wrong person!"
More importantly, the movie, even at three hours, needs a few more scenes. Early in the film, Damon's Mr. Ripley states that he has three talents: lying, impersonating anyone, and forgery. But where did he learn such things? Lying is something we all pick up to a certain extent, impersonating people might be something you do as a parlor trick, but forgery is not something you learn in school any more than money-laundering is part of the accounting course structure in an MBA program.
So how did he get this way? Why is someone so obviously talented and sweet so obsessed with getting himsself on the road to criminality? We know that Mr. Ripley was poor, but being poor doesn't make you a forger.
In any case, I'd give the movie two thumbs up, 4.5 stars, and a nomination for best movie - if I didn't feel that something was missing.
I read through each of the points and tried to figure out which operating system would give me the best features, performance, etc.
And, after reading through the whole page, it has become clear to me that NT/IIS is not a viable option. Why?
Well, since we have to assume that Microsoft put a lot of time and effort into this page, they would check all of their HTML - I mean, it's not like it's hard. But somehow, IIS is stripping out the title of the document and the
While I think that the idea of the government using OSS is great, something even better could happen. Instead of spending US$2 billion next year, they could spend US$1 billion on the proprietary software they still need and the conversion to OSS and donate the surplus billion to funding OSS projects.

...is that he's never heard a good joke about a kid learning to read.
I've spent the last few months trying to teach my daughter this and it's hysterical!
