Holy crap that was hilarious. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start a movie review site. I would read every one of your reviews. They would be forwarded to millions of people on the interweb.
You love VW's and space tremendously. Just for that the world needs you.
You cant need a "cult" when you are the dominant entity by far. There is no function for that sort of entity to the current "winners".
It's also true in religion. The only reason the major religions arent called cults is they have established themselves at high enough #'s. Still same religion, ideology, etc. The only difference? #'s.
So, the massively dominant group of people that run windows/MS products sort of "are" the cult... but have already reached critical mass.
In some other reality where apple became dominant... then you could see a MS cult. But not happening... most of apples success if playing to the idea they are somehow an underdog little comapny that is cool.
Men used to name their ships and grow attached them as well. They didnt need to give them rights. It is easy for the human mind to notice "personality" in objects though, it's in out nature to see these things.
I understand robots may be more humanoid, but if they start getting rights, I'm moving in with Streisand. Wait, that last part isn;t right.
I remember a recent post about goemetric shapes in the galaxy, on a planet, etc. I wonder if somehow harmonics are causing this amazing anomoly is these places somehow.
sorry, star wars kill serenity, and i enjoyed serenity.
but the readers of that magazine are hard core sci-fi people,a nd we all know how well the new SW movies went over with them.... so yeah, if i took a sampling of that magazine, id sure as hell expect them to be on the backlash bandwagon even more than the geeks here on slashdot.
ask normal people, and most wont even know what firefly/serenity is.
you'll get star wars and star trek. and sorry, but fanatics are that because they are a minority. would we be shocked if mormon was the #1 religion, when polled at a ward or temple? nope.
The judge should see if the first has a case, and tell the other "if you want them to do the same thing, you need to sue them".
If I hit someones car with mine, and then they hit my car, I can certainly file a claim. If they want damages, they need to file back. They can't just say "we both hit eachother so theres no claim at all". Sure the damages might be equal, but most likely not... for instance, comparing YouTube to Ifilm are not equal at all in infringement. The article aknowledges YouTube has many more infringing content.
"I don't like the fact that scientists say the world is round so I'm going to petition my local government to enact legislation to make the world flat. Does that sound right?"
Which church are you meeting at?:)
Yeah, I've tried, but thats not the question.

"Has anyone tried listening to her side of the story?"
has anyone tried to listen to it without laughing... thats the hard part.
What I love about this story is she gets aaa wig, everything you need to kill and torture someone, drives forever to meet her... and the weird part is diapers that isnt weird for her or her job... like none of that other stuff bothers anyone.
Clearly, we are desensitized to murder and all that... but adult diapers really gets us.
"I find the difference in approach interesting, though. The California proposal, judging by the press releases, seems to be about banning sale of incandescents. The Australian proposal is simply upping the energy efficiency standards to the point where incandescent bulbs no longer qualify"
Thanks man, I'm going to use that one today. "I'm sorry babe, just remember, we're not breaking up, I just upped my standards till you no longer qualify."
the problem is right now that these can't be found. And, they may be linking to pages that are updated themselves.
so, whent he problem that they cant be found is outdated, you wont have to go to this site anyways. i dont think this is intended to do anything but address the current problem.
At first I thought the US government might be using it's PageRank power to make terms like "nuclear threat" bring up URL's like iran.gov (or whatever their whitehouse.gov correlary might be). In fact it was just a weak attempt to use the word bombing twice and mislead.
Instead, the US is just aknowledging that attacks on it's internet infrastructure can be responded to just like physical attacks.... by military attack.
Is anyone suprised that if one place was pinpointed as the source of the attack on any countries infrastructure it might be a target? I'm not. The net is more important than some buildings at this point.
The only thing I'm suprised is to expect any attack to be from one place... I'd expect it to be distributed. But thats ok, we have bombs for that too. ouch.
ah yes, because the doo doo head thing would be my opinion, the babies death would be a lie... and thats the defamation. im allowed to say you're an asshat in my opinion.... just not a murdering asshat.
I believe defamation is when you say somebody did something they -didn't- do. otherwise you're just stating a fact. (I could be wrong though.)
For instance, I could say your post was legally incorrect; and if I'm right, then that is a fact, not defamation. If I said you're a big doo doo head for doing that.... defamation!
(making it the first declaration of defecation description defamation ever).

be prison break, where it's a fantastic show, with a VERY clear end point... right in the title!
and then... break out.. loosing all end game, and drag it out to suckdom forever.

what, did a bazillion people stop playing WOW and I didn't hear about it?
as far as I kno,w blizzard is just fine.
The real world application of this will be truly shown when they find the exact frequency on beer.
Then, gaze upon its brilliance.

... for the US elections
"65535 votes for X in this voting machine??? errr! Must be the solar storm..."
WHOAH! WHOAH! WHOAH!
How did the solar storm know which republican to vote for in florida?
I believe the law takes things case by case.

First they do this... and then they train the dogs to sniff out the actual pirates.
Once these dogs have the secent of basement dwelling teenager with poor hygiene... it's all over.
RIAA is probably training them now. What exactly is the scent of p2p?

I'd like to mod it +1 hindsightful.

lol, relax, it was a joke.... just like the first one YOU DIDN'T GET.
It's not often your subject comes to the aid of making your point, but be sure you have my thanks
something tells me you wouldnt be hired where they require the sense of humor.
ah yes, because the doo doo head thing would be my opinion, the babies death would be a lie... and thats the defamation. im allowed to say you're an asshat in my opinion.... just not a murdering asshat.
so not entirely backwards.

Or does the stock not yet exist either?
while I see where you're coming from, remember that "tags" to regular people are whats on clothes.
In macy's, the label says who made it, the tag says how to clean it.... aww crap, then we get price tags.
I'm pretty sure thats where it's all going.
"I don't get that. You want a woman right? Above the age of 11?"
:)
Sometimes I forget that there's alot of eruo people here too
jk guys.
or I'll bomb you.
jk, really.
"What is confusing, and troubling, is that this is just the latest in a long line of disappointing Trek games."
It seems like they are just mirroring the actual shows pretty damn well.
