According to a nice inverview on NPR this morning, it was the principal of the thing.

You can pry my books from my cold dead eyeballs. So, don't plan on recycling them anytime soon, paper or plastic. You can have my beer can when it's empty and not a moment before.
Abbot: What's the name of the the doctor? Costello: Yu. Abbot: Me? Costello: No, Mei works in Oncology. Abbot: You do? Costello: No, no, no. Yu works on stem cells, Mei works in Oncology. Abbot: Well, you're certainly not in the English department.

The value of a put goes up when the price of the underlying stock it is tied to goes down. Thus, the malfaiteur (sp?) in question was hoping his ex-employer's stock would plunge when their computers were destroyed, and he would make a bunch of money in addition to screwing the company.
>> While that's nice to see when laying on one's back next to someone you like, or just for the thrill of it if you're into astronomy, it's not enough to get most folks off their couches. Considering also it's mid-winter in the northern hemisphere the viewership is likely somewhat limited.
Translation: Unless you're going to get laid afterwards, it's not worth freezing your @$$ off for.
Yes! If anything, the poor economics of lighting this dark fiber is an indication that its owners do not hold a monopoly. If they had a monopoly, they'd simply raise prices until these projects became economical for them so they could recoup their otherwise stranded investment.
Yeah, to rephrase this excellent question a little more ambitiously, what's the low hanging fruit on the accessibility tree? What things can we do to provide the most accessibility for the least amount of trouble? An ordered list of five or ten items would be helpful.
No thanks. JRRT took a lot of trouble to build a beautiful, complex world that cannot be duplicated on film the way I see it in my mind's eye. If I were to watch the film, I'd be doomed to experience that world through the director's imagination and limitations film.
Ditto with Herge. The art can't be duplicated on film the way it can be drawn (witness "The Lake of Sharks" film), and any attempts at portraying the characters dilute them (e.g. what voice do you imagine Captain Haddock to have?).
Everyone associated with the LOTR films is cursed and I wish the same on whoever makes a Tintin film.
Yeah, he's really called Snowy in the UK/US versions. http://rbhatta.freeyellow.com/page6.html Shows a names around the world for several Herge characters.
And yeah, he'll really ruin this excellent comic totally. I'm not going to go see these movies or the LOTR movies for this very reason.
If American drug laws were more like those in The Netherlands, we'd have a lot more prison space and our convicts would be treated more humanely. Over half of American prisoners are incarcerated for drug crimes.
The GF wants one of these for Peak Retail Season. Given what a lousy year it's been for me financially, she's getting a PaperPalm instead, although I expect that means I'll be getting more use out of my palm too.

Make a bobble-head doll of yourself and send it to the CEO free of charge! That'll teach 'em.

We don't. We just need less bloatware.

Actually, my Mom uses an envelope because it holds in all the irrelevant newspaper clippings she sends me each week. Arrrrg....

Sending them isn't a big deal, it's bringing them back that bothers me.

This sounds like something that ought to be on Art Bell's show; entertaining, yet completely spurious.
