Skyfall is better than anything thing else post-Connery and better than most Connery. I was expecting it to be good but got excellent instead; the best surprise in movies I've had in years.
> what you're looking for (ZFS) hasn't been invented on any of the OSs that you're using.
Actually, there is MacZFS. Runs just fine on OSX. I have the OS, apps, and my home folder on an HFS+ partition on an SSD. Everything else is on ZFS. It's exported via SMB to all my Win boxes.
This may be true; I haven't read it regularly in a couple of years. But I do think it's true that extremists in either US party would find much of what appears in The Economist very uncomfortable. It's probably the most fair and balanced news source around these days and most USians aren't accustomed with that.
If they use LOIC, the script-kiddies are effectively doing just this. And some have already been arrested, though I don't think this was their intention, just a feature of software (LOIC, in this case) that doesn't provide anonymity.
The Dynabook comparisons were interesting Especially:
Here is what Kay got wrong, as far as the iPad is concerned:
- Users can write their own programs for the device
- Kay viewed the Dynabook as a content creation and viewing device, while the iPad is mainly a content viewing device. ....
Apple got so much right with the iPad, but missed a golden opportunity. The hardware and OS are good enough. The fact that the masses can't (effectively) write apps for it means that Alan Kay's vision still has not been realized. Maybe Android on Wacom/ASUS/AMD hardware would do the trick.

Understand that every line of code you write may/will be maintained by somebody else. Architect/Design/Write/Test accordingly.

I think Snowden did a good job here.

*cough* Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home *cough*

I first that read as "homophobes" and promptly became very confused...
How can people tell if it's the SEA, NSA, CIA, or FBI that is misbehaving? Press releases?

What about this new microwave oven technique I've heard of for recharging iPhones?
I can't prove that Aliens weren't at the first Thanksgiving, therefore they might/must have been there.
I think I'm being to understand religious arguments much better now thanks to the History Channel.
Could be worse. When I read TFA, I read 'Ponyo'.

> maybe if I describe it somebody will chime in
The Man from Earth (2007). I stumbled across it on cable last years and was pleasantly surprised.
Especially with the incredible shelf life of cheeseburgers these days: http://www.healthiertalk.com/4-year-old-mcdonalds-cheeseburger/
You forgot the $73 trillion that they'll be collecting from LimeWire.
and Linus Pauling 1962
I could care less. But I'd have to try really really hard.

I'm just sayin...
> Then you'd better hope we get more justices like the dissenters... Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Antonin Scalia, dissented in the case.
This is one of those few occasions where Justice Thomas was in the minority and I agreed with him.
> Anyone who disagrees just doesn't have sophisticated enough eyes.
I have Monster Eyes, you insensitive clod!

As we used to say on Wall St, even a dead cat bounces...
> In IV - VI, we find the story of a character who's very evil who finds redemption.
Redemption? Vader was responsible for the deaths of Billions! I don't really consider redemption an option in his case.
I was thinking it was a dark matter effect. But Mond makes so much more sense.
>> you just can't come back to tell the rest of us about it afterwards.
You can. You just need to pick the right deity.
