Imagine the following difference in job offers: hey, you're pretty
good, stick around for 3 years, and we'll see if we still want you, or
we believe in you, here's a job for life.
The reason you don't want such a model of employment is because is does not
encourage achievement. In fact, history has shown that in most cases, it
breeds corruption and neglect. It's why most modern governments don't have
lifetime positions for their leaders. Okay, the Supreme Court is an exception.
However, the reasoning behind keeping justices for life doesn't apply to
professors. At least, they don't anymore. Tenure was meant to keep
professors with non-conformists ideas from getting fired. Now thanks to
terrorism and political correctness, no professor is safe from firing due to
perceived misconduct. Tenure only remains to keep the lazy employed.
Sad, but true.
Money didn't "flow" like that at all when cable was in its infancy. One of the selling points was that aside from the local stations, none of the other channels had commercials because you were already paying for it. What channel operators did was to take advantage and "double dip" without passing the savings onto the consumer. Yes, channels like Nickeloden are on basic cable because they're cheaper than HBO to the cable company, but I'd rather have no commercials and pay per channel for the ones I want rather than be forced to flip through 50 spanish-only and home shopping stations I'll never watch.
Bakshi is a hack. Other than the two Fritz the Cat movies, none of his other work is worth mentioning. He's one of the most overratted animators in history.
"I think there are at least two public exploits in circulation right now,"
said Zalewski, in a telephone interview. "They just got released about a month
after the advisory. And I know there are some that are not public."
I though security through obscurity was something only Microsoft did? Why
are there ssh exploits that we (the users) don't know about? Everyone has
access to the code so where are these millions of eyeballs? It appears
there's only a few who are able to really decipher the source code and
understand it.

The only way an OS is going to work properly on this box is if it's got as heck of a lot more RAM.
No, GreenPeace will try and prevent the spaceships from launching to protect the intersellar bacteria living on the meteor.

3. Profit!!!
Tell me again why people who think the airline industry is a good place to turn a profit have a viable business model here?

Don't have a throm-bo...

I have! Light my way...
It's not like we're bastardizing The Oddessy...
I guess you haven't seen "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Based on that description, they already made a live action movie like that. It was called the Last Starfighter.
BTW, considering the amount of special effects used in movie action scenes these days, is it really considered "live action."
I don't buy into that. If there are other ways a bug can be exploted, the "public" should know about it.
In this article, I'm surprised by the following quote:

They must have used FrontPage, then.
Gentoo what??

Ever hear of a rehtorical question?
(Let's see if the mods understand the joke)
Do stairs? Put itself away when it's done? For a grand, it better empty itself in the trash bin, too!
You sir, are full of shit.
Didn't ebay sue auction spiders becuase they used eBay's resources? How the heck are price scrapers any different?
Yeah and the fact that he probably tried to glom off the name "KMart" since they were around before Walmart.
And when you hear a token hit the bucket bottom with a hollow, bassy sound, you know the person just voted for the Communist party. Arrest him!
Here in New York, we use a mechanical switch voting booth. Why isn't that considered unreliable, too?
Bug?! Since when is a bug intentional? A bug implies a mistake. ATI's rendering of Quake III was no mistake. Nvidia's problemss might be.
Madcatz makes one called the Microcon that is even smaller than the "S" model.
Surprisingly, most people didn't flinch when ATI did it. (Remember the Quake.exe vs Quack.exe story?)
