You can opt to buy an unedited version of a movie and enjoy it the way the creative person at the other end intended it to be. However, this is not true for movies shown in theatres and videoclips shown on TV. Very often they produce an European and an American version.
I prefer European versions. I like to watch sex and violence (although maybe not the combination of the two). This stuff doesn't happen to everyone everyday, it triggers the imagination and can spice-up or even make a story. If you don't like it, stick with Disney, but I hate it when they try to force their "the world is a nice place" vision upon me.
I wonder what the Disney version of my all-time favorite, master piece, "Natural born killers" would like like.
I am willing to learn that language. Men, I'm willing to learn that language so bad, that I would even take it, if it it was in reverse polish notation with the manual pages inside out flipped in reverse complement. I would devour it, know it like I know my own mother, I would live, eat, and sleep with the documentation, preaching it in public places on sunday afternoons. Men, I would even defend Bill Gates in public hearings, support the DMCA, volunteer for the RIAA and use only non-GPLed software for the rest of my life.
Now if they don't want it, can I please have the 10 million dollars now?

Why release a product 4 times better than your competitors
With these models, they want to reach a new market, the professionals who have never bought a digital camera before, because current digital cameras are just not good enough for them. This market is not as big as the amateur market, but professionals are willing to pay much more for good equipment.
Willingly delaying the introduction of quality camera's could cost them market share.
Most of these computations are pretty intensive in CPU and memory usage. Network speed and disk speed are less important (although you need lots of storage). I would like to try one of these babies, must be fast.

Now this is funny, and especially for you. I thought you could appreciate some of your own humor, perhaps. Which I'm quite sure you will. Sad, that you're the only one to appreciate it. More people should have the same refined taste that you so obviously have.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so original! You make me laugh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man! I like you jokes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow... my sides are hurting with that funny, funny quip you just threw down on us like some clever maniacal funny man! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Someone will even probably mod you as funny to show how funny you really are to the rest of us! Quip, quip says you! Everyone! Over here! Look at the funny man! He made a funny about the visual representation of Windows! Get it? visual... representation... toddler.... artwork... Windows! HAHAHAHAHA! It's a reference to Windows... yes, how it's like 'toddler artwork'... HAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I am not sure where this guy is from but boy is he funny! Who invited him to the party? We gotta have this guy over more often! Honey? Come down here a second and listen to this guy 'tell it like it is' in a really funny way. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! "M$", that's priceless. "I see enough toddler artwork." Gold. Just pure gold. How do you do it? I mean, so many people post on Slashdot but then you see a funny gem like this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pure hilarity. When's the last time you actually used saw the insides of the Windows kernel and so wittily remarked about it? If you'd ever seen the Windows kernel in any way shape or form this wouldn't apply and hence your joke would 'have no teeth' as it were. But the brilliance of you tying in 'M$ Windows' with kernel maps and toddler artwork had me splitting my sides. And your Slashdot handle? Fascist Christ!? Jesus Christ!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man. So clever, so very very clever. I'll bet you were the funny man in high school too. Wow. You still got it!

So please, enlighten us, by telling us your standards of humor. Yes, do us all a favor and post arguments why you don't like something, or else STFU.

Yes, there is about 5.26e+36 different ways of putting the pieces on a board. A harddisk that could hold this data (and subsequent best moves) would take a significant amount of our solar system and surrounding stars, even is we could encode a bit a single atom level.

The first six months of life are the most critical for a developing child. It is during this time that all neural pathways are developed through the sense of touch. A baby's mind, body and trust is developed by being held and loved. This is why breast feeding is a major advantage to any child.
She might be a women, and even be cool, but she obviously doesn't know a lot about breast feeding. Of course touch and feeling is important for a child. However, maternal antibodies in the mothers milk do most of the good work. They give a child protection against inflammation and help build the immune system.
Now, of course, if you give your infants kool-aid, they may become/. readers.
Well, sorry you disagreeing doesn't mean you're correct.
Every time I eat and take a dump the day after, something new has come in and something old has gone out. Everytime I breath O2 comes in and more CO2 (C as in carbon) goes out than came in.
It doesn't have to with cells, not dying. They actively maintain themselves, replacing proteins (made of amino acids, mostly carbon-based). I'm sorry you are not the same carbon atoms you were two months ago.
Eating radioactive C isotopes, for example, is not a good idea. They will be incorporated throughout your entire body in a matter of hours. Would be funny to do some calculations on carbon flux in the human body.
Each day that passes, millions of cells die and millions of new cells are formed within my body; my cellular arrangement is not the same it was yesterday. They synthesize and degrade proteins, absorb and expel molecules, etc. The molecular/atomic composition of my body changes continually. Like a river never has the same water, the body and the brain are not static, they are constantly changing.
IOW, the carbon atoms in the diamond, have probably only been incorporated into the body of the diseased person, the last one or two - often miserable - months of his/her life. Do you really want to remember that?
C'mon this is ridiculous. You'd rather remember someone's face, good times, memories. Not the material the person happened to made of. You might as well turn yesterdays garbage into a diamond.
Using Perl is not even neccessary. The following thing will work just as well (using *nix of course).
