I loved the Baldur's Gate and Dungeon Heroes games of the original Xbox. The Xbox360 never got any of those games (the marvel ones were not as fun, I want a good 4 player dungeon crawler.)
Check out Night Watch/Day Watch...Russian films tend to focus longer on the characters. Letting you watch them think.

So for the decades that Flynn was in the grid, he aged. But for each year it was like ages in the grid. Clu as a program did not age.

I didn't have so much an issue with the term ISO, but the explanation "Call them gods, whatever"...I think they failed to bridge the concept. He should have made it clearer "they were souls"...be they created by the gods, or chance or whatever....they were in the system.
1) Numerous elements for WMD development was in deed found. However, as most of it was dual use (remember the difference between a WMD and a Newscaster's wrinkle free face is merely dilution). A number of depots were found guarded by the military, in camouflaged bunkers containing stockpiles of 50 gallon drums filled with pesticides. Supposedly for their booming agricultural industry. Don't ask why the military would have them instead of the farmers. Could it be because with a bit of glass tubing you could concentrate the nerve toxins to weapon grade levels.
Hmmm...
This doesn't even get into the evidence that pointed to a large amount of equipment being moved out via Syria. In fact, even Wikileaks included info on this topic.
As for President Obama's birth. He should just put out a photograph of the original. Settle it for good. His not doing so actually kindles the issue.

Frankly, I find liberal progressives far less informed about most issues. Most conservatives as well. Seems to me that the only group that tends to be informed are the Libertarians.
Could it be the same reason why they haven't released an Android app?
They stated that they're dealing with issues revolving around the security/DRM protocols. And not having access to an implementation, as all code has to be open source but most of the available DRM protocols are proprietary. Essentially DRM and open-source are at odds. And that is the crux of the issue, not Netflix.
Bullshit....you fight and always fight stupid laws.
This law is immoral. It is no better than a Jim Crow law. For all high society talks about equality. I doubt feminists could handle real equality. I am sure the law wouldn't let Assange claim rape for lack of a condom use.
What the heck...so if both parties consent to not using a condom, it's only considered rape on the part of the guy.
Oh, I am sure most file-sharers understand that it is illegal. The billions of $$$ that our government wastes on anti-piracy, and sending Homeland Security after them.
But is it immoral? That is the real question. And most file-sharers do not feel it is immoral.

A large part of this is because we have been ripped off for decades by the music cartel (RIAA). Who has also been ripping off artists for even longer. When we're paying $15 for a $2 product and the artist is lucky to see a dollar. Somehow that cartel's claims that "we're stealing", fall on very deaf ears. And when we see lawsuits which fine someone $2.5 million for a few 99 cent songs - quite clearly in violation of the United States of America's Constitution. We lose any pity we might have for a corrupt industry whose business model is extinct. And if not for the fact that they have paid billions to buy off our government, would have been put out of business a decade ago.
Let's be honest. Copyrights expire at death, with a minimum term (like 15 years) to support any children. Or how about death + years until any children are over 18.
Frankly, copyright should be original publish date. If it was published in a magazine, then later in book form. Should the copyright be furthered? The music industry has used so-called "re-mastering" to continuously keep works in copyright.
And we all know that when these 70 yr copyrights expire, a law will be passed to extend it to 100 yrs. And then after that - infinitely. But hey, no one will be alive that will remember anything but infinite copyrights.

I am sorry, it's not our fault that you are blind or deaf. We do the best to accomodate. But it's starting to get ridiculous. I am finding myself growing more and more anti-handicap.
OMG....am I evil?
Maybe I should be. But when a start-up business can't get off the ground because they need to build a giant handicap bathroom that will take a huge chunk out of their available space. When the blind associations trash the Kindle as a textbook because the menus aren't translated. (Never mind the fact that the Kindle will read the contents of the textbook, something a paperbook cannot do.)
The cost for most businesses to make their sites ADA compliant will never be recouped.For thousands of years blind people have been unable to read books. And deaf people unable to listen to music.
We've done a lot as a society to aid those who are handicap. But it gets to a point when you keep demanding more, that we're eventually going to toss you into the road.

Most business' have a phone number. Seems to me that this should be adequate on many levels. If you're blind, maybe you should talk to a sales staff at Target.com rather than try to browse.
I have a number of websites. Most a small websites with very limited use. To demand that I make them ALL ADA compliant is ludicrous.
I mean, do I want the darkness of my movie broken up by a deaf person sitting in front of me with a screen display sub-titles. Heck no....I hate it when someone whips out a cell phone, which in such darkness is nearly blinding.

"If you were to take these things away from the general population - things like watching a movie, surfing the internet, making a 911 call - there would be an outcry," Bristo said. "All we are asking for is what other people take for granted."

As a user interface and rich application environment, Java cannot compare to Flash/AVM.
So what are the details of the test. How many times was the browser re-launched. How long was it running? Both can affect battery life significantly. (ie: Browser launches usually involved some writing to disk, which consumes battery life).
Okay, so what did the Flash do. Did it just sit there and display a static page, or did it provide a rich user experience or even a multimedia experience.
Do you think playing video and rich interactive applications might just require more processing power. Did the control group do the same activities. If not, then it's really a comparison of Apples to Oranges. For example, how long would the battery last if you were doing CAD versus letting your laptop just sit there.
I mean, granted if I left my computer on a simple black screen saver, the battery would last much longer than if I had it playing movies. But watching the screen saver for hours sure would be boring.
