"since all expenses are subtracted from profit" IANABBOEIPOOT (I am no accountant, but because of Enron, I play one on TV), but aren't expenses subtracted from revenue?
Surprising that they would push the DVD with such passion. I'm sure that would irk me if I owned the idea and corporate American profitted off of me and refused to pay me my share.
I'm also so surprised that a sequel would be in the works for 2004 which Tobey Maguire has signed to IMDB . It also stars Bruce Campbell (as the lizard); the greatest actor since Arnold Schwarzenegger lost his accent.
I live in a city under Eastern Standard time. I've noticed that some networks air identical content for the most part here as well as to PST people but just offset by the 3 hours. So, I'm assuming that it would take one person under Eastern Standard Time who watches TV religiously to hit a button whenever the commercials start and hit another button whenever commercials stop to get the timing for such delayed broadcasts to block out commercials for the West coast people. Now I'm sure we can get even more precise if say 20 people do it and we use a little statistical interpolation of the data to get a more precise time (in the case of some people not being as attentive).
Of course the cooler way of dealing with this problem is my other suggestion. The PVR device tapes the entire show for those who requested it. Now the PVR boxes of those people who are actually watching that channel send back a signal whenever people switch away from that channel (based on the assumption that people change the channel when commercials start). Given that data, and signals whenever someone switches back to the channel and stays on the channel, i'm sure you could get a rough estimate as to when the commercials ended. So that data gets sent out to all PVR's on the network and if the PVR had taped that show, it goes through the process of splicing the MPEG file at those positions.
I've always wanted to grab an X10 with batteries and stick onto a helium blimp and float it around the house. Attach a food tray to the blimp and you are one step closer to breakfast in bed!
I could be the first person (legally) to cut up Memento and put it reverse order so the story makes sense from the beginning thereby wrecking the novelty of the twisted ending.

I hope they can recycle Betrayal at Krondor and up the graphics. That would be awesome. That game was RPG of Year 1994! Then again, it was great to play that game the way it was (it seemed so revolutionary back then). Too bad Sierra took it off their site (they used to give it away for free to promote "Betrayal at Antara".
I loved using Macs with ATI cards. I didn't like Apple's move to Nvidia and their less than ideal drivers/cards (GF2MX vs radeon... come on, there's a clear winner and it was NV). When Apple goes back to mixing up their machines with NV and ATI cards, I'll go back to using their machines.
Screw subscription based system for Slashdot. Just make up interesting articles and put them in the headlines and get the company involved to pay for being a referrer. Slashdot viewers would see great articles like this: Windows XP Home Page: Which Edition Is Right for You? and Target's Deal of the Week. In return, Microsoft and Target pay $0.01 a hit or something. CmdrTaco could retire in a few days!
It's like hijacking hits, but with the slashdot effect.
So what's a big problem with Slashdotted ISO releases??? To quote MC Hammer: Hammer time. Those poor distros get nailed so hard that you can't get to an ISO at a reasonable speed for a week. And companies like Mandrake really need all the support they can get. It's great product and I'm sure they have to pay for massive bandwidth with ISO releases (even with all the mirrors from edu sites and the like). Looks like we need a p2p distribution system a la fasttrack network that allows multiple downloads from multiple hosts so that we can waterfall these ISO's. I just hope someday it will be implemented (and more importantly: used by the masses).
Lots of tech companies are moving to Markham, Ontario - self appointed High Tech Capital of Ontario - just on the outskirt of Toronto. Cheap land, and tax benefits for moving out there apparently. IBM, Autodesk, ATI and others just seen driving across the highway.
And what's up with the "they're-not-even-a-real-country-anyway dept" comment? Dontcha know we beat you in Olympic hockey eh?:P *Warning* If you didn't like the last statement, don't read my sig!
Oh, there are many Tim Horton's out there as well - there's nothing quite like a traffic jam around a coffee shop.
As for the movie industry moving north: It's not like I can walk around my neighbourhood currently without accidentally walking onto a movie set anyhow. I nearly walked into a stunt car that was supposed to hit two actresses.
Most software developers (games and apps) should freely distribute abandoned software. I mean it isn't a full out request to open source their games and applications, but rather just a plea that once you can't sell in a retail channel and say a year has passed, that you let people use it for free (without support). It always makes you look good and in the case of a sequel or a line of products, it gets the potential customer used to using a product. I mean is it even possible to purchase Adobe Photoshop 3.0 ? If they freely distributed it (and if bandwidth was an issue, I'm sure some other sites wouldn't mind being a distrib) there would be more people familiar with photoshop line of applications (and those people with old photoshop 3 books could have something to do). I mean it was amazing when Sierra gave away "Betrayal at Krondor" off their site to publicize the release of "Return to Antara" and they took it off their site but it still got distributed (it's not so easy to find but it's there). If you are some third world country and you just got some donated machines (386, 486), I'm sure it would be really nice if you could run Microsoft Windows 3.1 and MS Works on it without paying. Software companies need to show heart, and this is definitely one way they can!
Terrorism is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Biological life as we know it will exist (lack of total genocide).
I'm considering the level up; the annihilation of a species or even all life habiting a planet.
War has endured through history.
".. terrorist supporting societies should be allowed to left alone." - Do you assume that a terrorist act is random and without provocation? Or is it probable that they do things with conviction and under the influence of propaganda? Just as much as you are influenced by the actions of terrorists in your homeland, so shall those who live in the terrorists homeland when your "War on Terrorism" goes over there.
It seems like a very viral approach to continuing our existence. I mean we could be destroying life that may exist on that "good planet" even if it was no where near "intelligent". I'm sure that if ET's didn't consider us "intelligent" enough and decided to terraform earth that we would be very upset.
Paying $40 CAN + $5 rental for Cable Modem (LANCITY).
Connection Download: 3 Megabits.
Connection Upload: 400 kilobits.
And I'm upset that they want to put the price up. Dialup started at $40 a month and dropped to $20 and now $10. Cable started at $40 and intends to go up for less bandwidth.
Based on what they stated, any adjustment to the actual image can be considered enough of a change. One could scale to 99% the width and 99% the height and use that image to link to. Or perhaps just use the img width and height tags to display the linked image in a smaller size; you may be linking to the image but it's displayed in an altered form.
I wonder if that's sufficient to get around the ruling.
Time for illegitamately born children or unwanted pregnancies to get sued by... their parents.
This all goes back to that episodoe of Superman where Lex Luthor clones Superman and Bizarro is what results. We should learn our lesson from cartoons.
Wow. A bunch of intelligent responses (from non-AC's).
First of all, OS X is closed source. Darwin is not. The gui is called Aqua. Porting an entity means porting the whole entity (unless it's an incomplete port).
If all those who replied couldn't guess, the post was a joke. Maybe there should be an html tag for the humour impaired.

I bet that they'll have to update their Windows Update page Knowledge Base Article to reflect their new Trust issues.

I'm building my own now... It's great to see those hardware specs but what software are you running? OS and actual software? Thanks.

Some sort of group theory...
I've always thought that Jenny Craig should expand right next to a McD's, but this will do fine if the technology shows promise.
Very similar to Moe's Retox Center right next to the Detox Center on Simpsons.
Undergrads (MTV), Undeclared, Futurama, Family Guy - GONE.
What are male University students left to watch on TV these days???
And soon the Simpsons.
Well, the good news is more episodes are available online now(plus no commercials... eat that FOX).
Next on FOX: "When TV Executives cancel shows with loyal followings"
