I remember a movie called "Atomic Café" that compiled various newsreels, documentaries and propaganda films from the late '40's through the '60's. In one of them a scientist explained that there are three components to an atomic explosion: heat, concussion, and radiation. Then he proceed to add that, of the three, radiation was not much of a concern.
It took me some time to notice, but eventually I started to see a pattern, whereby on days when she drank a diet soda with Aspartame, she had more pain. I started getting Diet Rite at one point (the only diet soda made with Sucralose for several years). She seems to have more good days once I got the Aspartame out of her diet.
No scientific study to back me up. Just my own observation.
Your copy(the lamp) is yours. The smoke/light is not.
Nonsense. Both are mine.
That's the funniest thing I think I've seen on/. in months.
If that is the case, then you should keep your car off of my driveway, your light from my eyes, your smoke from my airspace, your songs from my ears, and your ideas from my mind.
Since there is no difference, by your own words, between any of those, any violation of the above should be treated as a criminal trespass and prosecuted accordingly.
Also post the list in comment sections for theguardian.com and the BBC (if they have an area for comments). Make sure the ISP's know they'd better block those sites.
The veto is to allow the people who are owed the money to keep the sale price reasonable, not to guarantee that they themselves can buy it for $1.
Then I would think that veto power would be extended to all the creditors. If it is, maybe that little tidbit was omitted because it would remove some of the zing from the article.
I'm curious as to why the broadcasters were given any voice over the sale.
I would think that the court would allow any sale to go through that would maximize the funds available to pay off Aereo's creditors, whether or not the broadcasters are considered to be among those creditors.
Before Sony canceled the release, George Clooney circulated a petition around the Hollywood studios expressing support for Sony in their determination to release "The Interview". He couldn't get a single signature.
So, yeah, I think everyone in Hollywood is afraid of putting a target on their own backs right now, and no one is certain about their IT security.
There was a time when the NRA was willing to compromise and accepted some restrictions.
The problem was, around the mid-to-late 1980's, they found that they would accept a compromise, and then find themselves back a the table six months later with a new "compromise" being proposed. Groups like HCI just kept moving the goalposts, and then publicly accused the NRA of refusing to accept "reasonable legislation" when the NRA balked.
The NRA finally just decided they were going to start refusing offers to compromise as a policy.
Or, as others suggested, stream it. Cable operators and Netflix would be decentralized enough to not be an easy target. They should have their act together WRT network security, as well.
Even if they were actually physically targeted, there probably wouldn't be any human casualties. Just a lot of cut wires.
I would pay for a streaming event just to give the middle finger to these guys.

This gives me an idea...
Let's hold a hearing on scientifically driven politics, and don't invite the politicians!
With blackjack... and hookers!
I believe the politically correct term is now "Digital-American", at least here in the U.S.
I'm not too sure about that.

Purely anecdotal, I know.
My wife has fibromyalgia.

Dear Comcast:
I know this is hard to figure out, but I found a map of areas that you could bring your products to.
Comcast and Time Warner in 1 Map
You can start by wiring those areas that are blue, then proceed into the areas that are white.
No need to thank me.
Nonsense. Both are mine.

No Beowulf clusters yet?
Well, twenty years ago we didn't have the internet, and computers, and writable CD's, and record companies weren't complaining about music "piracy"...
I didn't even know that Gen Con still existed.

And don't forget facebook and twitter.
But is Monster selling titanium-plated connectors for them yet?
No, but you might not need them.
Sony is including a green felt marker to paint he edge of your SD card for only $20 extra!

For those who missed some of the better 1970's scifi.

The appropriate thing to do, obviously, is to hit the child with the cat.
Good golly! We were building airline cockpit equipment using this technology back around 1982.

Actually, it is reportedly Paramount that forbade the public showing of the movie.
They replaced the scheduled times of The Interview with a Team America sing-along.
Not anymore. Paramount nixed it:

And a thriller set in North Korea, staring Steve Carell, has also been dropped:

I couldn't have cared less about the movie. It didn't really sound like my kind of humor.
But after the threat was made, I was planning on seeing it just to show the (newly become) terrorists what I think of them.
I'd have liked this to be Sony's most successful release of the year.
I'm getting mixed messages from the news, though. Has the release been completely scrubbed, or are they just canceling the formal premier?
