What a crappy movie. NO math, NO science, NO computers, just a bunch of crap from people who can't tell a CPU from a power supply fan. Just a bunch of Jewish mysticism (WTF?). Pi was the last time I made the mistake of actually paying money to see an art film, and I got burned pretty badly. It was obvious they were intentionally playing to a tiny audience, and that I was not at all welcome to participate.
Ever think about the fact that indie films are way, way out of touch with anyone but themselves? Maybe that's why they don't address relevant issues and instead spend their time advocating hard-left issues instead of storytelling. It's an insular business, and anyone with different ideas will not be welcome at Sundance.
Nah, criticizing the system is fine. We're doing it right now! But the U.S.A. takes an extremely dim view of advocating the violent overthrow of the government. As a looney hard-left type, I'm sure you are fully aware of the fact that the only government in the world that does this is the American government. Going to trial would have been a disaster...he was guilty as hell of the crime he was accused of, and the U.S. Attorney's office maintains around a 98% conviction rate.
My, we are pretty parochial, aren't we? Assuming everyone knows who "Sherman" is, without even a link? Let me guess...it's a weblog somewhere. I'm sure it makes for interesting conversation down at the Starbuck's.
In MY opinion, he's waaaay too much into the whole slashdot thing. His bland comment about other techs not reading slashdot was a real eye-opener. You know, it is actually possible to have a rewarding career in computers without ever ONCE reading slashdot. He makes several other offhanded comments that reveal just how parochial his world-view is.
Besides, who wants to do windows tech support for a living? That's what it is, doing freelance support for small businesses. They only call when they have huge problems and then they never have application support because they got their software for free. Try troubleshooting a problem in QuickBooks without being able to call QuickBooks support! And no thanks on the 50-70 hour weeks.
In conclusion, small businesses are ghetto. They're frequently late with payments, as well.
PCs rule. Why would anyone want to use anything else? This is so beyond my experience I have no comprehension of real computers. I can't even fathom the need for such a machine.
Didn't Sun basically buy out or hire away a bunch of Cray, Inc.? I always heard the E10000 was actually a Cray product.
Oh, and just to brag, I have a blue jacket with a picture of a Y-MP-90 on the back with the words, "CRAY - WORLD'S FASTEST SUPERCOMPUTERS". Too cool for words. Ebay rules.
While tempting, those are obvious failures, with simple remedies. Running wlan jack at a Starbuck's would provide endless entertainment while being difficult to diagnose. The looks on the faces of those richers while they reboot their laptops trying to fix the problem...priceless.
This is how the lawsuit industry works, silly. They're flush with cash from the tobacco settlement and there are dozens of firms out there right now filing class-action suits right and left. Most you don't hear about because the company settles for a few mil.
Oh, it's a great unit. Especially with full color. It's designed to sit on the dashboard while driving (hence the name StreetPilot), as opposed to other GPS units which are designed to lay flat to go in the pocket for hiking (eTrex, Ique). It doesn't matter if you're moving or sitting still...I've acquired satellites on an airplane moving at 550 mph and it didn't take any longer than usual. It's rare you find an address it doesn't have...it's happened to me once as I remember, and that was in a newly-built area.
If you're interested in buying it perchance, I'd be willing to entertain fair offers. I'm leaving the country soon and where I'm going I won't need a GPS. It's in top-notch condition...it's been my favorite posession and I've been quite anal about keeping it safe (and the faceplate unscratched).
Dang...my color StreetPilot seems to be obsolete now. The only thing it has left going in its favor is its shape, which sits well on a dashboard. I paid $530 for it back in 2000, and it serves me well. I knew a guy who had a lay-flat GPS, and it was a pain for him to drive and watch it at the same time.
It's interesting to consider the Holy Book of Islam, the Koran, is still pure. It's written in a living language that has never been lost. Most of the Arabic-language classes in America are not conversational, they are specifically designed to allow the student to read the Koran in the original. So when the Koran says something like, "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned", it has real weight with the true believers. This is where you get the justification for driving a truck filled with explosives into a hospital.
Yes, but the reviews on amazon.com are typically written by twits. This review is by One Of Us(supposedly).
You might as well decide your movie viewing habits by reading the reviews in imdb.com. Imdb is a useful place, but its reviews are garbage written by mentally-masturbating graduates from film school who have weblogs. There's nothing quite like reading a sniffy, condescending film school review of of a movie like UHF or Evil Dead 2.
Have you ever actually tried to collect a judgement before? STFU about this 'credit report' nonsense. If you've been there, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Bah, a small claims judgement is crap. Your typical shady company that ends up in small claims in the first place won't pay. Just try collecting on it.
Slashdot Mirror
Er...they control the planes from the ground. There is such a thing as a weather report.
Ever since the advent of that newfangled Doppler radar, airplanes fly around storms.
Why don't they just build a dozen of these, and launch them an hour apart. The whole advantage of small inexpensive craft is the "swarm" approach.

It's "fur" and "agin". Everyone knows that's how hicks from Texas speak. Oh, wait, the Bushes are actually from Conneticut. My bad.

You call yourself a nerd? It's "Elvish", dumbass. And besides, you didn't even say if it should be in Quenya or Sindarin.

Sorry, I don't know where to get more of them. You're out of luck.

Secondly, the people in the hospital were not innocents. They were Russians.

I find your views intriguing, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Communism != works
Now run along and go back to the Marxism seminar at the university...controlled economy my ass.
Just wrap your hard drive with a few windings of 10-gauge wire and hook it up to a car battery. If the feds come, flick the switch.
