This is good example of the difference in cultures. Europeans are very comfortable with nudity, but violence and guns are a no-no, or are considered shocking. The US is a bit in between, but lean to being more comfortable with guns and certain kinds of violence. it seems that East Asians like violence, but nudity is right out.
As far as the blue penis was concerned, it really served no useful purpose in the movie, so why not leave it out.
Yeah, there should be plenty of private money for this with Gates and Buffet trying to get the super rich to give their money away. Doesn't the Gates foundation fund medical research?
Absolutely, Polaris. The Polaris project was one of the BIG drivers in the 60s in the area we now know as "Silicon Valley", although they (the lefty techies) don't like to admit it.
Heed this!! He holds the purse strings holds the power.
This can be really difficult to do though. I think there are like two colleges in the entire US that do not take ANY federal money. (Hillsdale college in Mich is one, I believe.). Even their students as individuals cannot accept any federal money as that would drag the entire weight of federal regulation onto the college.
two comments: 1) Yeah, get the original voice actors to overdub.
2) I was watching the 70's movie "Death Wish" starring Charles Bronson, and one the three punks who kill his wife and rape his daughter had all the right gangly moves that Spike sometimes has, the actor was none other than Jeff Goldblum. Too bad he's far too old for the part.
Sorry Nilbud, Other countries simply "the Interior Ministry", or MI5, or the Committee for State Security. In good ol' socialist China they have far fewer locked up because they simply execute them for fraud, and other minor felonies.
Maybe this is why you can't buy this on DVD. IIRC when I saw this on broadcast, I wondered how long the network would put up with the biting satire of network TV.
Frankly, I think the UK problem is far too many people on the dole. You've got to support all those 14 year olds who want to be pregnant as a fashion statement.
Just remember this when you buy Toshiba goods, as they were the ones (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/VIPPS/VIPPSUSJ/publicat ions/Toshiba%20Machine%20working%20paper.doc) and in this paper the tools were sold to the Soviets.
Hmmm.... I've got an idea--Why doesn't every one simply use the Library of Congress Subject Headings, or if you are French-speaking, RVM, or if you are Spanish Speaking--BIDEX. What? too restrictive? Not relevant? We don't like no stinkin' control.
If you allow uncontrolled assignement of "tags" (aka keywords) you will get junk. Some people will be conscientious and try to do a good job, some will be "cute" and tag will the latest slang for their domain; some will take advantage and tag for their own nefarious purposes. You will have to deal with the junk/crud/cruft.
If you impose some sort of control, you will have to deal with those who will flame about the restrictions, you will have to deal with endless discussion on what the correct "tag" is for any given subject and whether or not it offends some group or not.
There is a term for this area of endeavour--Library Science! There has been discussion and work going on related to the web and indexing schemes for at least 10 years. try searching for "Network Knowledge Organization Schemes" or some variant.
Nope, unless you deal in change only. Paper money already has serial number on it and these can be read. Since your RFID in your state required ID card will be read at the cash register (new meaning for that device) the serial numbers will be associated with your ID automatically. Oh yeah, don't try to use counerfeit $$ as the serial numbers are not likely to be valid.
OK, you can put anything you want into your body, but don't ask me to pay for the consequences though. If you choose to smoke, you better start saving up for all of those lung cancer treatments you are probably going to need. You decide to ingest LSD and go fckng bonkers like that recent late Syd Barrett; I hope you have some rich friends that will pay to keep you warm while you drool into your shoes. If you take the responsibility to "self-medicate", I do not have the responsibility to take care of you.
Of course not. CS programs in the Big universities want Profs who bring in bunches of grant Money, and who write lots of Papers. Teaching be damned. If they can't speak English who the fcvk cares as long as the NSF keeps pumping money in.
Also, let's look at who generally are CS majors--guys. enrollment for males in college has dropped to the point that it is now in the low 40s percent. Fewer males => fewer CS students.
Possibly another way to look at it is: Programmer will come out of application areas. Geologists wil write geological oriented software for say oil discovery.
Another semi-random thought on CS education. If you want to be a good programmer doing interesting programming--get an engineering degree. You will have a more rigorous background, and you will probably get better problem solving skills training. Alternatively, look for a school like Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (I am not a grad). that focusses on what makes an employable programmer, and subsequently get great support from industry.
ALso consider Venezuela, they have Huge reserves of Very heavy oil that is not economical to pump and refine until the price per BBL is above $50. THis why Hogi Chavez (may he rot) wants to stablize prices at that level.
Michael Jackson owned only the publishing rights to the Beatles' songs. To raise the money to start Apple Records, the group foolishly sold the publishing rights around 1968. Michael has no control over the recorded versions themselves. The publishing rights changed hands a few times and eventually Michael bought it by secretly outbidding Paul McCartney by a lot. Paul has said that he tried to get Yoko to offer more as he felt that as John's widow she should own half of the publishing, but Yoko wanted to get them cheap and refused to pay what Paul thought it would take to get it. While he was trying to talk Yoko into paying more, Michael offered maybe 3 or 4 times what Paul/Yoko's offer was and the guy who owned the songs jumped at it.
AFAIK: MJ out bid Paul by about 3 million us dollars. Something like 43 million vs 40 million.
Au Contraire. No license is required for assigning numbers to books. In fact, you might look inside the book for a CIP, Cataloging in Publication, and yuo will find a Dewey Number assigned by the Library of Congress, as well as and LC classification number. The problem with Dewey and LC is that they do not handle fiction very well. What costs with the Dewey is to buy the books or to use OCLC's online system. You Library might have the Dewey--4 Volumes in their reference section.

Uhhh ... at $0.99 I might buy a copy just skim it to see if it is worth reading further.

Many theories, but few empirical facts.

before going to Jupiter. Space exploration is all well and fine, but they are dropping the ball on the weather satellites.

And it was Apple that imported this term into the computer sales realm, ala Guy Kawasaki.

How many of you scream about privacy, and on the next breath say "Take away my guns!"
Of course not. CS programs in the Big universities want Profs who bring in bunches of grant Money, and who write lots of Papers. Teaching be damned. If they can't speak English who the fcvk cares as long as the NSF keeps pumping money in.
BTW: it ishould be fewer college students.
