The film was Tron merged with a Vin Diesel movie. And while some of it was good, and keeping Flynn having 80's exclamations as he's been isolated so long was a nice touch. Unfortunately the plot and writing hadn't evolved past the 80's like the graphics had.
Overall, I enjoyed it and the sneaked in references to 80's movies but I think they could have done better.
A large number of Sun developers worked on OOo but there was also a large number of other devs willing to work that couldnt' get their patches committed. That's why go-oo.org was created with a huge patchset. Sun had a large "not invented here" mindset that stopped a lot of open source devs from continuing to work on it.
Now that OOo is LibreOffice, perhaps the huge go-oo patchset can be committed and the unofficial "not-a-fork" can end.
I'm looking forward to all the new features and such that will be able to be added.
You want something that works? Write letters. Real, honest to goodness, handwritten on dead tree letters. And get others to do it. Not e-mails, faxes, automated letter writers, real letters created by a real person.
And get all your friends and other copyright advocates to do it. Send them to your representatives and copies to the local papers. Do it every week until you get a non-form letter reply. And then start doing it twice a week.
On-line petitions are too easy and have no weight with anyone. A handwritten letter means business.
That's just the first step! Once they get enough signatures, they'll print signs and hold protests on campuses all over Boston. From then, if ACTA isn't dropped, a e-mail campaign will be started to get people to forward e-mails to all of their friends!
Soon the international coptywrite cartels will be begging for mercy!
(Note: the findings herein affect WebOS 1.3.5. Palm has since released WebOS 1.4, which fixes these vulnerabilities, though not all handsets or carriers are running this version. Due to contractual agreements, the public disclosure of this information was delayed.)
OSSEC is what I've been using for years and it works well. IT's much more comprehensive a security package than fail2ban but uses log monitoring as it's basis.
Why not make the Internet itself illegal! Then they can slowly decriminalize individual ports and protocols with special identifications until they have complete control over everything.
Once that's done, nothing illegal will happen and all their citizens will be happy drones.
After all, Nielsen reports ratings so that shows can sell more advertising. If the show you're watching doesn't have the same number of ads, then it's useless in terms of advertising sales as it's not apples to apples.
Nobody in advertising cares if 500,000,000 people watch a show if no ads were seen.
No but Apple is a trademark in the computer hardware arena. "Nexus-6" is a fictional android in one book and movie,
I have a strong suspicion that the developers would have little to no idea that Nexus (centerpoint) One (first) was anything but how they felt about a phone. I think the PKD estate is groping for money and this suit, if it materializes, will be laughed out of court.
Hollywood needs consumers to buy more digital content. DVD and Blu-ray revenues contribute significantly to Hollywood’s bottom line, but spending on those discs is dropping sharply. It declined 3.2 percent to $4 billion in the third quarter of last year. Digital sales were up nearly 20 percent in the quarter, but amounted to a relatively paltry $420 million.
Let's do some math, shall we?
3.2% of 4 billion == 128 million 20% of 420 million == a paltry 84 million. Net difference? 44 million?
Jeez, looks like they got off easy. The economy collapses and their sales were down less than 1%. I feel sorry for them.

How's them sour grapes tasting?

Does that include the Database Error Page I'm getting constantly? Cuz I've seen that a dozen times
Microsoft also owns a part of Facebook so that would also force them to work together.
Apparently my router is currently sitting in the former main office of the major telco for my area. Which is across town from me.
And here I was thinking it was on my desk.
So, fail
who cares how it's pronounced? How man pronounce Linux correctly?

Umm, just in case the aliens do decide to land openly in my lifetime, anyone got a link as to where I send my resume to join his team?
You know... just in case... not that it's going to happen tomorrow or anything... really....

Ten Million is a steal if you realize how much you can make off renting it out. All those bedrooms, a huge garden, round the clock military security!
And close to historical sites for educational purposes!
I'm making an offer today!

It's worth a look.
It maybe pork but it's also jobs and I'd expect my representatives to fight like hell for jobs in this recession.
I've been using Zotero for a year and love it. The new version (2.0) is a godsend.
Nah, by his own words, he just multiplied the actual time by 4.
I take the amount of time I think it will take, double it and move it up a time unit.
So, if I think it will take two days, I estimate 4 weeks. If I think it will take a week, I estimate two months and so on.

But it is not clear whether the internet causes depression or whether depressed people are drawn to it.
So, what we have here is an article with no actual basis for conclusions. Nothing to see here, move along
From the article... Fujitsu, which applied for an iPad trademark in 2003
Intel also used to try to keep the lower case i as their own trademark (as is i386, i486, etc.) before Apple launched the iPod.
Apple doesn't own the legal or moral rights to the lower case i prefix, they weren't even the first to use it.

I'm still not going to ride a slime mold to work.
Every time. I had to watch Coraline with the glasses off and periodically put them on to see what I was missing in certain scenes.
I'm not bothering with Avatar, without the 3D, it'll just be another movie with animated effects and bad acting.
