Exactly. When was the last time you saw a trailer that sucked but the movie was great? Ever? OTOH, I can't count the number of times the trailer was great but the movie was a POS.
But hell, even if the story isn't everything it *could* have been, at least we'll set some breasts and shit blowing up.
Plagarism gets you kicked out of college. This is a case of copyright infringement plain and simple. He'd be wise to kill the site now. Take a look at the source code. He even copied the unused code that was commented out of the original website. No wonder the lawyers have come knocking.
Parody sites are great, and this one is quite funny too. But to just copy their code, Photoshop a few of their images, and change a few URLs, well... that's just plain stupid.
Either you're a fool or a troll (and I'm the fool for responding), because that's the funniest shit I've heard in a while. Like the accountants for Enron/Global Crossing/Tyco *must* tell the truth, because they are accountants for a public company and therefore accountable to the SEC.
Damn, that's some funny shit. Know any good "In Soviet Russia" jokes?
I thought so too at first. But then I went back and reread the replies as if he were actually speaking them (in.... that slow..... and..... choppy voice). The replies were much longer that way.
Cool interview. Good to see "Clever" chime in too.
Be careful trying to double your refund. I belive Newman and Kramer have a business process patent on this technique. The licensing costs may negate any potential profit from the refund.
If the recycling company paid you for the cans, they were idiots. The cans that you pay a deposit for are clearly marked, NH cans have no such marking. Any of the automated can crunching machines will reject them (I have relatives in NH, and sometimes the NH cans get mixed in with the 5 cent ones).
Good to see you did the "honest" thing though, being boyscouts and all. But why didn't you just go to Mass and collect legitimate 5 cent cans that the insensitive clods throw out.
"Are you OK with all the Web sites, and people walking around wearing your face on their T-shirts?" "Oh, whatever, I think it's kind of funny. These people don't have lives..."
What's that sound? Ah yes, the sound of 1000 slashdotters being stabbed through the heart.
Well, at least Natalie Portman still loves you.
These might be nice if they weren't so damn expensive (3 for $14.95 AUD). Even if you purchase 500, they still work out to $1.80 each. Much cheaper to mass-burn copies and trash them when they get scratched.
To that end, these scratchless CDRs look promising. They have small bumps
around the edges to raise the disc off whatever flat surface the careless user puts them on, to reduce the change of scratching the disc. A 40 pack is only 25 bucks. Sure, standard CDRs are cheaper, but if it reduces the number of discs you have to burn, it's probably we'll worth the extra expense.
Lawyers for Winona Ryder have filed a lawsuit against Peter Chernin, Fox, and News Corp., citing Chernin's slanderous and defamatory remarks made during the recent Comdex conference in Las Vegas.
Chernin is quoted as saying:
"If hundreds of thousands of dresses were stolen from Wal-Mart, the police would assemble a task force that would have Winona Ryder shaking in her boots,"
"When questioned about the possibility of supporting Linux in the future, a Movielink reprsentative replied, 'We have no intention of supporting Linux at all, since everyone knows that all Linux users are a bunch of hackers and thieves' ".
Oh come on. Grow the hell up. Do you even have kids?
Yes, parents need to supervise their kids and be responsible, but no parent can watch their kids 24 hours a day. If this creates a kid friendly environment and helps parents, I'm all for it.
All this talk about censorship and "who decides if it is hate speech" and similar arguments are complete bullshit (not in general, but specific to this discussion). If you even have to *question* if something is hateful or inappropriate for kids under 12, then it most probably is.
The rest of the world can do what they like on.com and the rest of the TLD's. This proposal has nothing to do with infringing on free speech there.
"If my neighbors are sniffing my traffic, they haven't bothered to tell me about it."
Sorry. I've been meaning to tell you about it, but figured that when you go the credit card bill for stuff you never purchased, you'd figure it out yourself.
Photographer (to model): Can you raise the laptop about 6"? Model: Like this? Photographer: Yes, Perfect! Client: Why do you want the laptop held in such an unnatural position? She looks uncomfortable. Nobody carries a laptop like that. Photographer: If you want to sell these damn things, we need her tits in the frame too.

Right. He said he had satellite, and wanted to get local channels from CABLE, which is what I was talking about. Since you can't get local channels on satellite in many areas, subscribing to Basic Cable is a common way to get them.

Are you sure? I thought cable companies were required by law to offer "Basic Cable" which is just local channels, public access, and maybe a few "cable" channels thrown in to make it interesting. This is usually priced around $10.
Of course, this is for analog cable. If you want digital cable then you probably do have to subscribe to their overpriced 30+ channel digital package.

In particular, this looks like it might be an ideal solution.

Maybe we should call that "Matt's Law"
