It features a female lead character who is genetically enhanced for the role of a specialist, and secret, courier.
There is a tortue scene in the first which I found quite disturbing, mainly because Friday, the female lead, isn't that bothered about being tortured, she is more annoyed that the torturer is rude!
I note that the glideslope for reentry is very steep. This enables planners to prevent a possible shortfall on approach. However, to enable the sharp glideslope many very sharp turns have to be undertaken. I feel that these sharp turns are dangerous because they encourage the failure of wing parts on that pointing into the turn. The consequence of a power shortage, hydraulic failure, or surface failure leading to heat intrusion, if occuring during one of these turns are higly likely to lead to a tumble. A fatal tumble for both crew and craft.

=========
Who Am I?
My name is Chris Chen. I'll be graduating from the 3 year Film & Television program from Humber College. Although I have directed many different genres while attending this school, my heart has always been in making action movies.
Where did I get this idea?
I was on a trip and I was in the backseat of a car listening to my tunes when I started to see these images as I listened to the song "Hero" by Chad Kroeger & Josey Scott. To me, this song made me feel a wide range of emotions such as anger, sorrow, frustration, and closure. As a film student at Humber College, I mainly liked to direct action movies. Some gun shooting sequences appeared in my mind as I heard this song. As I listened to it more, I pictured a whole choreographed scene and I thought that this would make a very cool action-packed music video.
But I wasn't too sure about how I was going to end it. I had two choices. I was going to have it so the hero would go in and raise some hell and save his girlfriend/wife or his girlfriend/wife is already dead and he avenges her death.
The latter reminded me of Max Payne and I thought that this is the perfect way to give tribute to one of my most favorites games, Max Payne, and one of my most favorite directors, John Woo. Since the developers of Max Payne really likes John Woo movies, I thought that this is the right company to give thanks to as they have done a great job on creating an action-filled John Woo style video game.
Pre-Production
I began to develop the screenplay storyline as it was only going to last a little over three minutes long and figure out what action sequences I would want to have. Once that was taken care of, I decided to look for companies that can do pyrotechnics as well as have guns that fire blanks. I thought "Who better than the same team that worked on John Woo's Once A Thief television series?" I talked to BFX and Movie Armaments Group about my project and what I wanted to accomplish. We discussed a few things and came up with a quote. Since I was a student, they knew my financial predicament so they gave me a good price and I was on my way.
Production
With the help of more than ten final year film students, nine industry professionals, and eight experienced actors, I was able to shoot this three minutes piece within four days at an average of twelve hours per day.
Since a major portion of my budget was going towards special effects, there wasn't enough money to do two takes on most shots. Any shot that involved something like a box being blown to bits was done on one take only. We would rehearse it a few times before we'd get our Super16mm camera rolling. One shot in particular was a little nerve racking. It involved a lot of pyrotechnics and a dolly. This means more variables to work with, a better chance of something going wrong, and that it can only be one take. There were suggestions on changing the shot or faking it but my heart was to go and try it because I was confident that it can work and I believe it did.
In the end, I hope my tribute is satisfying enough for fellow Max Payne and John Woo fans until Max Payne 2 comes out later this year. I also hope that this Short/Music Video is my stepping stone for future projects as I plan to make more films & music videos when I can...
I had a problem with an Excel XP workbook. It was in a total mess.
There was an urgent need to retrieve some figures which had disappeeared. I though, 'what the hell', loaded it into OO, saw that the figures had reappeared, saved it, loaded back into Excel, to find that it was now fixed!!!
So, OO is the toolkit of choice for Office users, whahey!

Not quite true, as you can still authenticate manually.
Which bit of Yahoo do I have to visit to get this voice function?
SUS does not patch NT4.
I wish it did...
Okay, you said enterprise grade, but you mentioned MrProject. There I can recommend GanntProject at http://ganttproject.sourceforge.net .
It is brilliant. The most important feature from my perspective is that it supports WebDAV, meaning I can share the projects file very very easily.
Did I mention it is written in Java, and can be deployed using WebStart? So you have cross platform support.
Try PORT1 for the queue name.

Its a stitchup.
My favourite Heinlein novel is Friday.

Anyway, get it, and read it. Then pass it on.
He was probably thinking of 'delayed group policy application' which effectively shortens 'time to desktop' but screws up the admin of our network.

Choose the power of Emacs with builtin web browsing!
Ah, but for that, we would need a national id smart card (carrying certificates), another of Faded Flunket's pet projects.

Incidentally, I was somewhat poleaxed reading the opening chapter, which features a catastrophic shuttle reentry. This seemed most prescient.

Presumably the first installation will be in Looe, Cornwall.
It rocks on decent hardware!
I remember the first time I saw Starfox on the SuperNintendo. It seemed jaw droppingly cool at the time.
In fact, I again played it again just a few weeks ago.
Do you think this version could be better?

Nuff said.
So, you are saying that this is Hitlers fault and NOT Microsoft?
And where am I supposed to sleep when I get drunk and can't find my way home?
Does everyone remember how Office 10 was promoted as the BIG XML release? And now Hailstorm has disappeared too.
Lets see. If I allow passerbys to use my WiFi dsl connection, and then they use it to crack into remote boxes, who are the Feds going to come after?
