As a matter of fact, yes - yes they did consider the scifi writers. Now, with this new report, those very writers can start talking about the vast government conspiracy to cover up the truth about dark matter and those big bad aliens hiding in it until they attack us.
But, on a serious not, just give it some time. Nikon, if they have half a brain cell, will realize the mistake it would be to stand in the way of Adobe fully supporting all of their products. Photoshop and Nikon's cameras are, after all, complimentary products and not competing ones. If the quality of one company's product goes up - all the better for the other in general.
Exactly.... it worked for me and now my career is going great.
You can party more often because you won't need to study and best of all, that MIS degree will boost your popularity with those who stayed in the CS program.
Oh, and don't forget about Xur making that holographic phone call to the ambassador after the briefing - a blatent ripoff of the scene in Empire Strikes Back between Vader and the Emporer. Oh, and what about Xur being a bad guy who betrayed his own people?? Another blatent ripoff.
Don't you just love having your childhood memories screwed with?
Only if we follow through by creating a whole new paradigm (sp?) in which employees are empowered to leverage their abilities and thus work smarter, not harder.
You're right about that. It was in Diamonds Are Forever. Bond was posing as a diamond thief, if I'm remembering correcting, while meeting with the real theif's contact for something. The real theif and the contact had never actually meet face to face before and the only identification she had to verify his identity were his finger prints. So, Q mad a set of fake "press on" prints for Bond.
That sort of reminds me of a t.v. ad a while back (not sure what for) that showed a company's billboard saying 'We're Number One!!!' The announcer told the audience what can happen to companies when they get complacent while some of the billboard's letters started falling off. At the end of the commercial, all the billboard said was 'We're Numb ! !'
I thought that was HAL who said that ( speaking of computers acting a bit weird - that sort of thing happening is probably in Microsoft's future )..... I could be wrong.
Well, you know what Sun-Tsu said about knowing yourself and your enemies ( he who knows both is assured a victory ).
In a computer's case, it's knowing as much about the program you're about to install as you can and monitoring your computer to see what's going on with it. That way, malware stands a smaller chance of screwing with your system.
That'll be how you recharge them. Once they die, just stick them under your arms for five minutes. Either that or leave them in my kitchen for a few seconds.
That reminds me a bit of a quote I once heard. I can't remember who said it, but it makes for a good statement as to generally what should be done.....
"In technology, reality must take precedance over public relations because nature can not be fooled."
Slashdot Mirror
How about instilling that same sense of morality into our president and vice-president?
As a matter of fact, yes - yes they did consider the scifi writers. Now, with this new report, those very writers can start talking about the vast government conspiracy to cover up the truth about dark matter and those big bad aliens hiding in it until they attack us.
Now if only everyone who was about to tell an old joke on Slashdot would just say that!
Surely Nikon aren't going to sue
Well, you never know, this is America....

Big f'n surprise. I'm astonished! Absolutely dumbfounded!
About what? The lack of SCO's evidence or the dupe on Slashdot?
Personally, I'm surprised at the dupe.
uh, shawn(at)fsu, we're over here to your right - that's the coat rack you're talking to.....
Exactly .... it worked for me and now my career is going great.

.....American cars won't have ejection seats, machine guns and rocket launchers.....
Why bother using a foreign car to blow stuff up and get tossed into the air? Buy American - get a Pinto!!
Don't you mean the horse's a$$? After all look at what comes out of each of them......

No, somebody ran that vbs script to rig the "letter" election. Instead of the c coming in first, the h did.
Only if we follow through by creating a whole new paradigm (sp?) in which employees are empowered to leverage their abilities and thus work smarter, not harder.
that makes sense, both Microsoft's blue screen and the Star War's I and II movies shot in front of one both cause the same sickly reaction.
But, wouldn't that be a waste of a perfectly good jet engine? Well, that is unless you actually went those few hundred miles to recover it.......

What kind of ludicrous question is that? Of course it won't. You'll only go plaid if you're trying to reach orbit.

Why bother with a simulated one? I'm sure the real Gestapo.....er.......RIAA will be glad to lend their 'services' to the simulation.
I thought that was HAL who said that ( speaking of computers acting a bit weird - that sort of thing happening is probably in Microsoft's future )..... I could be wrong.
Maybe JFK had it right.....
.....Whatever man must undertake, free men must fully share.....
Or something to that effect. This little quote was from a speech JFK made to congress about the space prgram.

Maybe, maybe not....
At the moment, I'd say no mainly because these cells are apparently only half as efficient at producing electricity ( 10% versus 20% ).
But, then again, these are only the first run cells. The efficiency should improve a bit with time, which will help.
