Can Tobey MCGuire even stay awake long enough for another movie? I remember watching spiderman and thinking it was some sort of joke or something. I always thought of spiderman as hyper-energetic and outgoing, but I guess a lethargic spiderman was kind of interesting.
The best way to defend from internet attack also works in the real world. Its called "Don't make large groups of people angry."
This seems like complaining that the internet allows collaboration of large numbers of like minded people. Yeah, thats the point. The failure of this article is to understand that it is not organized. Thats like saying that all the death threats the Dixie Chicks got all came from one organized structure.
Hundreds of thousands of people are not going to conspire to commit a single crime (Anthrax letter example). That's ridiculous.
To suggest that just because a large number of people are equally angry and respond in a similar way (through mailing etc), that the response is organized is stupid. People who want control set up straw man organization because they can't compete against 100,000 individuals. How many times have we heard "Those protests are completely organized by organization XYZ, they have buses that bring people in". Or in labor problems: "Its XYZ union that is causing the strike, most of the workers don't care" By using the tactic of combining the perception of voice down to a single entity, detractors can be more persuasive in gaining mindshare.
Have you checked walmart or target? The filters will easily last several times as long as the box suggests unless you live in the desert or something. put it by the dust source such as the door or air AC vent.
Its funny, but most C++ classes around here use gcc to compile and msdos edit for editing. The only reason they don't use notepad is because it doesn't have line numbers.
Will unix ever have an editor as simple and easy to use as dos edit? And if this phenomenon were to occur could we find one unix guy who wouldn't denounce it as a "child's" application?
This trailer dissapoints. It looks like a money grab movie. It looks like it might be Pg-13. It seems to have the T2 plot minus the interesting parts. It has almost no actors over 25. Sexism aside, the thought of a young, hot female villain doesn't work. The thought of Arnold fighting a 20 something girl for an hour and a half sound boring. The sets in the trailer look very cheesy (esp. the military hq with the plywood looking consoles and switches from radio shack). Theres no T1 or T2 actors.
Terminator is a war movie, this is going to come off like "The Tuxedo".
Yes but outlawing it puts everyone at risk of being sued when they email someone they don't know.
Just like phones, the same objective can be accomplished with do-not-email lists. Thats not what these people want. They want laws saying that no one can mail them unless they allow it.
If all the people that drone on and on about spam would put 1% of their effort into this we would have Internet 2: spam free edition by now. Instead they think somehow getting laws passed is going to miraculously stop spam.
The way some sociopaths talk, you'd think spam was the most important issue regarding technology today. This is because it IS the biggest thing in their lives. If spam is the biggest problem in your life its time to power down for a few.
If you buy something relatively cheap such as two packs of CDR cases, send them in separately, purchase separately so you have two receipts. Otherwise you will get a card back with "Sorry you have exceeded the rebate limit per household..." etc and they will keep your receipt and send you zero for even one package.
To understand the majority of motivations of a secondary student we must look at primitive man. What are the goals of primitive man:
1. Survival 2. Procreation 3. Control over their environment and peers (promotes survival)
All people strive towards these goals every day to varying degree. The majority of students in secondary school are interested in the shortest path to these goals. They go to school to socialize in an attempt to better position themselves for 2 and 3. This could be termed popularity.
Thus, every student at the school is seen as competition for societal control and procreation. Everyone faces the same hostility that so-called nerds face, however nerds make no attempt to mitigate it. Nerds are people see all the posturing as futile. They don't want in on the contest to be the top primate. I hate to say it but there is a definite intellect barrier. Asking why a nerd doesn't get involved in social circles is like asking why Jeffrey Daughmer didn't feel remorse when cutting people up. They just don't see the point. Nerds have an "i'll win later when I have the advantage" attitude.
This doesn't mean the nerd is intentionally avoiding socializing. Their minds are just running programs in the background just like everyone else. Thus once the "win" threshold is crossed in the nerd's mind, they immediately go into overdrive mode. Get them out of the school society, give them lots of attention and suddenly the become King Caesar. The opportunity for societal gain is too good to pass up. The advantage has been gained.
Basically in nerdese: non-nerd is to zerg rush as nerd is to battlecruiser
"When has Europe, as a whole, stood up in a meaningful way and taken a stand for against anything?"
Europe isn't supposed to 'stand united'. Your forgetting that Europe is comprised of several different countries each with their own language and system of values. And what, exactly, are they required to take a stand on? Simply surviving, pursuing happiness, and prospering is not enough? The common theme that I keep hearing is "Getting tough for getting tough's sake" is not logical.
"At least they've got the courage to a) say what they mean and b) act on it."
Does a dog know what its doing when it tries to hump a person's leg? It has acted on something, is it courageous? I could say I'm going to take a dump, and go take a dump. Am I courageous? Hitler could have said that he was going to exterminate all the crippled people and then he did it. Was he courageous? Your definition of courage is worthless.
The administrative branch, by your definition, is not courageous. They want to "disarm" Iraq which can be accomplished today with the air power in the region and those nice b/w photos. However, what they want to do is remove the government from power. Two different objectives. They will not come out and just say "We want to remove the government and instill our own government" They keep using the word disarm.
What an original idea, lets call them "Old Europe". How did you get this amazing new idea!?!? You must be prowd that the right wing of the government has latched on to your idea which you obviously came up with just last week. Are you a speech writer for Rumsfield?

lightsabre-wielding is one of those phrases that became commonplace that shouldn't have.
Its like hearing some little kid calling another kid a dork on nickelodeon even though it means dick.

I played this way as well. We only had 15 minutes in the computer lab and it was the only way to make it to Oregon.
Banker, Max Oxen, grueling pace, no hunting, toll roads and ferries. 15 minutes.
"over 18,000 pieces of spam"
Maybe its time to stop posting your email everywhere on the net.
Have you checked walmart or target? The filters will easily last several times as long as the box suggests unless you live in the desert or something. put it by the dust source such as the door or air AC vent.
Thanks I'll give jed a shot.

So which sucks more, vi or emacs?

"customers like video games better than a CD and would rather spend 50 bucks on a game than buy 3 CDs."
Its called value. Its what takes over when the price fixing is eliminated.
Someone posted it in the PA forums. Freakin Hilarious.
Yes but outlawing it puts everyone at risk of being sued when they email someone they don't know.

Geez, I guess the truth hurts. Instead of moderating why not see a therapist.
Are you really angry because all you get is spam, or are you more angry because you don't get any non-spam?
If all the people that drone on and on about spam would put 1% of their effort into this we would have Internet 2: spam free edition by now. Instead they think somehow getting laws passed is going to miraculously stop spam.

Not until a judge says you are.

" Does anyone know what the story is with Valve?"
Yes. They got all monied up after half life.
When you die we'll write

I would expect a placeholder salary to go along with a placeholder name like John Smith.
Kevin Mitnick would have done a lot better by turning himself in and fighting back instead of running and pleading guilty later.
Oops, I meant to say Ralph Nacchio as in Joe Nacchio, frmly Qwest.
"But what happens when the laws requiring companies to provide certain quality of service are incompatible with profitability?"
In this case the companies will just have to suck it up and NOT pay Ralph Nacchio $300 million over two years.

HA,
"Old Europe"
Everyone jump on the bandwagon now.
What an original idea, lets call them "Old Europe". How did you get this amazing new idea!?!? You must be prowd that the right wing of the government has latched on to your idea which you obviously came up with just last week. Are you a speech writer for Rumsfield?
My point is that you are a sycophant.
