Seriously? It looked like it was filmed in 2D and the 3D effects were added as an afterthought. Objects all looked flat but the scenes were separated into 3D planes. I'm pretty sure the two scenes you mentioned were the only ones actually filmed with a 3D camera.
I liked the story but wish I'd gone to the 2D theater. As opposed to Avatar, where I liked the 3D but the story was disappointing.
And NOT worth $32 for two tickets. More for IMAX. More for 42fps, someday. They're just guaranteeing that I'll wait for it to come out on Netflix.
Oh, public service announcement: DO NOT TAKE YOUR PREGNANT WIFE TO SEE PROMETHEUS. Don't ask me why. Just trust me and don't do it.
Why would you need more than 128MB to connect to a VM, that'd be a simple dumb terminal... I'm pretty sure dumb terminals at that resolution can run just fine with those specs.
Once Corporate IT gets ahold of it, it'll need 4GB and a couple of cores just to keep up with Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Luckily I reload all shots myself that I use in crimes.
Additionally I use revolver or if I use a pistol, I use a brass catcher.
Collect a few hand fulls of spent casings from the range and scatter them around the crime scene. Bonus points of the calibers match. Extra bonus points if you use a brass catcher for your own shells.
That would really throw off the investigation. One victim with one wound, and 50 spent casings with all different registration numbers. All wrong.
To demonstrate to your future girlfriend that you aren't a slob.
In the overwhelming majority of male/female relationships I've observed, the man is actually much more tidy than the woman. So I get really tired of this stereotype that I can't keep my house clean.
Be sure make a surprise visit to your girlfriend's place. It will be a mess. That mess is what you will deal with every day of your life once you live together.
99% of software jobs involve taking database column x and putting it in text field y.

You're right. I did NOT do the same things you did in your CS classes. I'm STILL not doing any of that, and neither are many other people.
"He is doing stuff now that a lot of people I graduated with (I was a CS major) could not do when they had a bachelor's degree"
When I was in the IS program, the CS students would come over from the math building and take our courses so they could learn to write code that actually does something.
I have seen children who have made it to 3rd grade not knowing how to read due to dyslexia but the school did not know because of clueless or careless teachers
Please be aware that teachers are not allowed to make those kinds of determinations. My wife is a 2nd grade teacher - with a masters degree in special education from a very prestigious university - and is required to refer students to the administration for screening. If the parents don't want their obviously autistic child tested, it doesn't happen. A lot of parents don't want their child labeled with a learning disability, even it it will help them in the long run.
Public school. Then do your job and continue teaching your kids when they get home. Stop depending on the government for everything.
My wife is a teacher. Half her kids are english-second-language even though they're born in the U.S. WTF?!? How is she supposed to teach science to these kids when they can't even read? Most parents spend more time training their pets then teaching their children.
Home schooling is for parents who's religious views are so extreme that they cannot integrate with normal society.
What you're doing is called parenting. Well done. The people complaining here are expecting too much from schools. It's not there to take over your responsibility as a parent. But it's par for the course on Slashdot to expect government to solve all our problems (and then complain about it more when it tries).
I landed a job in Arlington, VA and was shocked to find out that to qualify to rent a 400sq' efficiency apartment (1 room with a stove and a toilet), I'd need a roommate. So I moved to the 'burbs and bought a house.
Now the uppity city people look down on me and say that I deserve the traffic I sit in because I chose to live so far from work.
I already purchased a license to use your product for personal non-commercial use when I bought your CD. A wedding is personal use. Doesn't matter how many people are there or what they're doing.
If the DJ is supplying the music, then take it up with the DJ. Not my problem.
I used to eat a double cheese burger and large fries for lunch every day, then wash it down with a 32 ounce diet soda. Then I got married and my wife nags me into eating low fat balanced meals. Now I've put on 20 pounds of fat, and I miss the burgers.
I'm in the second category you mentioned, and I'd take a job making substantially less money if it came with a more pleasant environment. I want more vacation, or Fridays off, or an office with a window. Seriously - I have enough experience now to get all the work done by 2PM and then I want to go home. Instead I work in the same shitty cubicle I had straight out of college and get 10.00 days off per year. So I make it my mission to squeeze every penny I can get out of my employers because it's all I'm going to get. (Want me to wear a neck tie? That's going to cost you about $20k extra a year. Hope its worth it.)
You can deduct foreign tax paid from what you owe to the U.S., so in the case of U.K. it will most certainly zero out any tax due to the IRS. Knowing that, it's probably not even reported or looked into at all.

So don't blame the teachers.
That's the fault of your community, not public school systems. Sounds like an awful place to live.

They really shouldn't mess with the clbuttics.

You know why men usually die before their wives?
Because they want to.
Eating fat isn't what makes you fat.
And it's funny how all the vegetarians I know are obese.
Does the math take into account that I always fill the cup 2/3 of the way with ice first?
I used to eat a double cheese burger and large fries for lunch every day, then wash it down with a 32 ounce diet soda. Then I got married and my wife nags me into eating low fat balanced meals. Now I've put on 20 pounds of fat, and I miss the burgers.
I heard it said once that smokers don't cost any extra in health care than non-smokers, they just incur it over a shorter period of time.
Out of general curiosity, I do all that except Ruby on Rails and Eclipse plug-in. If I nailed an interview on everything else, would you hire me?
People vote themselves bread and circuses and no taxes.
No, people vote to collect and spend other people's taxes.

If the investigation is still current, that step doesn't have to be repeated. And that's the one that takes most of the time.
Consider yourself lucky that the janitor didn't quit.
