The food and drinks at the movies cost so much because that is the only way the theater makes money. I know because I know theater employees and a franchise owner. Whenever we show interest in a movie they will let us in for free, but it's understood that you buy something at the concession stand. Even though tickets are $8 to $9 dollars, the theater only sees a few pennies, and as we can see volume isn't what it used to be.
It isn't the greed of the theater owners, it's the greed of the MPAA or whatever cartel controls the ticket prices and profit disembursments.
If the theater workers are polite and clean, buy some Sno-caps or something.
I think I misspelled 10 words in this post... I'm to lazy to look words up today.
You know, this is a real problem. I've been trying to help a family member of my girlfriend buy a computer (after their hard drive melted and 2000 BSoD'd in/on their PIII) and it seems that the only thing they "know" is that you need the extended service plan and that you need at least 512 MB of RAM.
The second point I agree with. In fact, I asked her to *only* look at computers with more than 512 MB. But aside from that it's hard to not grab these idiots and punch them in the face when they ignore other factors or say that the Pentium 4 is essential or forget that the speakers come in the box and have no idea what the FSB is and so forth. Maybe I need to get a nerdy ThinkGeek shirt to wear when I walk in - that way they know not to push crap on me...
Maybe we need to take these jobs from these loosers at Circuit City, Best Buy and so on.
I'm not suprised either, because it is what people want. In fact, I never saw Apple computers in a retail store until I walked into my local MicroCenter.
But then again, the people in the Apple section were always a little snobbier than the rest. I can't wait to see their Linux associates...
With the right setup, your servers will supply and receive data they need to complete the replication process.
Think, even though they are servers, they are all clients - rather peers. I know the protocol is entirely different - but the concepts are the same. Once again, with the right setup you can direct how the data is distributed throughout the network and when. The central server (root server) never needs to be contacted with the right setup.
Really, their server products already use a P2P or S2S (Server To Server, servers being each other's peers...) technology for domain replication. Windows 2000 is pretty darn good at replicating its content even when the original copy isn't available.
to purposefully obfuscate code is the same as a painter purposefully maasking the meaning of a painting. it's absurd and reeks of evil.
You are pretty much on target with the rest of your thinking but that point is "off base". When painters hide the true meaning of a painting... well that is just damn cool!
I pretty much was let down by the Spiderman movies. The first one was pretty good, comical, action packed and featured Stan Lee (!!!). I think it was William Dafoe that ruined it for me, if not the entire Osborne family - both of them. It wasn't really that I hated the movies, but I'd take X2 over Spiderman any day.
Again, just my opinion. Maybe I just need to watch them both again?

Roger Ebert even gave it 4 stars (although he is admittedly something of a teenage boy when it comes to superhero movies)
That is true. Ebert said that Spidey 2 should win a best picture Oscar! Not that I don't like Spiderman but I thought both movies weren't that great - as far as movies go.

Not all copies of Episode I suck!
In fact, some are quite good.
Let's be honest.

Gives a new meaning to hack!!!
Second, satisfaction is its own reward sometimes.

So...they've figured out they're not going to stop dedicated music pirates.
But if there are too many steps involved then you will stop some dedicated action. Full time pirates will just skip things that aren't economical...
Well, I for one welcome our Microsoft sponsored hacker overlords...
Okay, I think you've added that sig so you can get modded up in this discussion...
I've done Northern Lights, and saw plenty of colors in the sky....
What I was basically saying is that once the range gets big enough it's a 'cell' phone.
ahhhh... i got ya
I could be wrong (reply), but I always learned that Microsoft made the first commercial software suite for Macintosh. Any truth to that?
Hey, why not WiMax and put "cellular" companies out of business all together?
no, not really...

I'm not trying to fight with you *smile*
BTW: Love the cursor.org!
"Even Microsoft is developing P2P!"

Of course, YMMV, and the right setup is key.
I never read the comics... I collected them

Not to nitpick (I'm usually not a nitpicker)
No insult taken.

It's my opinion, I'm entitled to be wrong though.
ah, I see you visited my website ;-)
But if your server is in Texas and I'm in Maine...
Just think, most attacks are launched from the actual attackers PC or server.
