I don't know if common themes will be missing; until I can watch the movie myself, I'll have to take your word for it. However - are those themes different because DA made them so, or were they made so post-humously? Isn't a very short list of people who have read the screenplay as DA wrote it?
for someone who says they spent 20 years studying DA, this person sure is oblivious.
Why compose a list of things from the "radio plays, records, books and TV series that have not been included in the movie?"
Quick - a show of hands from the/. crowd: how many of you have done anything other than read the book? {waits for the couple dozen people to raise their hands} So you that are still raising your hands...it was the radio show, right? How different was the radio show versus the books? Almost as different as it was from the TV show, the records, and the video game. How in the HELL is the screenplay, which DOUGLAS ADAMS HIMSELF WROTE, supposed to be exactly like the "radio plays, records, books and TV series" when the "radio plays, records, books and TV series" are very little like each other? Sure the screenplay has been changed a little - always happens. But not much, and it is from Douglas Adams himself you'll find that the screenplay (aka "movie script") is supposed to be different. Movies are a different medium than books, video games, tv shows, and radio shows. Of COURSE it's different.
form 1040, line 13: "Capital gain or (loss). Attach Schedule D if required."
Then see schedule d. That income does have to be reported, and will be captured somewhere. Dividend income is capped at...28%? hell, I don't remember...but if you exersize options and sell the stock, or flat out sell stock you own (a long-term gain instead of short-term), you still pay taxes.
And as far as FICA and medicare...FICA is what, 7% of the first $120k? Think the $8,400 is really all that big to someone making hundreds of millions? Medicare is similarly only taxed for the first bit of income, I just don't recall what the cutoff is.
All in all, they're not really cutting their tax burden. If anything, they're shifting from short-term to long-term, which only puts off taxes really - which maybe hints they plan on retiring in a few years? Who knows.
Maybe with vast (!!!!) improvements in technology...
Then this is a good thing. The Sony patent will expire, then when the technology actually is possible it won't be patentable anymore - it will already be public domain. Patents expire in 20 years, after all...
sans the fact that for some people, sex isn't just about the sensory input, but is also about dominance and submission. And then there's the weird people that do it for bonding reasons - shared positive experiences, and such. Friends bond when they go to theme parks together, lovers bond during sex...
I know you get a smug sense of self-satisfaction by just stamping "WRONG!" and wiping your hands of it
really? Must be nice to know what everyone else is thinking. I'd get to Vegas if I were you; you could make a mint. Then go into politics, become head of the UN, and solve all the world's problems.
do you realize that Star Trek used them because it has been standard practice for a long while? The election of the new Pope - every vote that doesn't pick someone will be signaled with black smoke. One that does pick someone will be signaled with white smoke. Smoke canisters demark certain types of activities. Green light means go, yellow means caution, red means stop. Color has been used as a quick way of alerting people for long before Star Trek.
what does that have to do with the article? Do you think fly-by-night, get-rich-quick, screw-the-world folks who sneak malware onto your system care about that?
And do you not think the internet will persist regardless, and will instead create another AOL type sub-internet (like China) with filtered content?
the mod adjectives have needed to be changed for years. What do you do when someone isn't flamebait or trolling, they simply don't know what they're talking about? Mod them "overrated?" But what if they're only a 1 or 2? There are other problems. I generally have a pretty damn hard time modding most posts. I don't know how I spent as many points as I used to have.
like: Last year, 315 developers had voted by this point.
What is generally implied by the term "stage" is, well, "stage." If I'm building a house, there's the planning stage, the design stage...saying "holy crap, we're THIRTY FREAKING MINUTES into the design stage, and we've only spent $5 so far compared to $10,000 the last time we built a house!" Valid response: "well, was that by the end of the design stage, or..? Because at THIRTY FREAKING MINUTES into this stage, its very unclear how valid the comparison is.
Why are you harping so much on my wondering how he's defining "stage?" Are you simply bored?
did read it, must have missed it, but "stage" really isn't clear. Is "stage" the second week, now that we're 30 minutes into it (as of the writing of this article)? How far into that "stage" was the 315 number last year? Were we in hour 355, only half an hour away from the 2 week mark, and only a full hour away from a week later from now ("now" meaning when the article was written)?
I don't want to know stages. After 1 week and 30 minutes of a 3 week period, how many votes were there last year? Clear answer, please.
And good lord...people are still 2 weeks away from being "tardy." Mayhaps the definition of that word should be researched as well?
there's 3 weeks to vote. 1 week (and 30 whole minutes) have passed. That leaves 30 minutes less than 2 weeks to go.
any chance people will simply vote within the final 2/3 of the time alloted? No mention if this is the lowest turnout after 1/3 the time had past, or if she's comparing 3/3rds of the other times with 1/3 of the time this year...
the only thing I can figure is that we (us gentoo folk) feel like we're not using our computer properly if we don't have it spend at least 10% of its uptime compiling things. I don't know - kind of silly, yes, but...
this topic is about gender, though. So which is better - a male, or a female?
A "perfect" baby is such because it fills your preference. If you want a baby girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and you have a baby boy with blue hair and red eyes, then you didn't get the perfect little baby you wanted. You also have a serious problem of another sort, but that's a different matter.
a very interesting question...

Our images illustrate an important puzzle: why do we see a corona form at all? At the substrate surface the liquid momentum points horizontally outward. Without a layer of fluid to push against (such as in the photographs of Edgerton), how does the expanding layer gain any momentum component in the vertical direction?
That is an interesting question...sounds like a potential thesis for a few people out there.

good thing we don't have anything like global warming to worry about, with as much heat as that would release...

your sig is funny. Just thought I'd point out though that while there may not be a "we" in "team," there is a "team" in "team."

I actually used to have someone that would tell me that stupid little saying. It was annoying crap like that which made me unable to work with him.

KDE might have been CDE-like back in the day, but it is *nothing* like it now. Nice attempt at being witty, though.
