Haven't read the article yet (gotta get that karma, baby!) but I think the movie Primer is a great example of a niche movie. (And the niche is us geeks.) It's a hard movie to follow and is definately geared towards smart folks, so the audience is bound to be small, but it will definately generate a profit. Dig a bit and you'll see why...
Oh yeah, it's being released in Dallas and New York on Friday. More cities to follow.:)
This has nothing to do with W's claims. I'm talking about post Gulf War inspections (UNSCOM) that resulting in the disarming of Iraq. Check it out. Note 11 Dec, 1991: "Iraq releases information on its nuclear program"
Please try to be informed when you argue your points. The best way to counter lies is with the deft use of incontrovertable facts.
But the scope of the site is based around technology...
The scope of this site is no more and no less than what the editors and Rob Malda want it to be. They've stated this several times over the years. Just get used to it.
I can't help it if you're one of the millions of drugged up...
Ah, but you can help making assumptions about something you know nothing about, like my lifestyle. Possibly you should take your own advice and take responsibility for your own irresponsible leaps of "logic."
we need to work on a cure for stupid so that stupid people don't get themselves addicted to things in the first place.
I agree with you there, but the cure is probably going to be chemical and/or genetic. If there was an effective behavioral cure for stupidity we would have found one by now. The human race has been searching for one since we gained sentience. If we were going to find a behavioral solution I think we would have by now.
Seriously... is there ANYONE in ANY part of this country anymore that just takes a little bit of responsibility for their own goddamn actions?
Seriously... is there ANYONE in ANY part of this country anymore that doesn't realize we're physical beings and that our actions are completely caused by brain chemistry?
You know what's pathetic? There are still people out there who don't know that their brain is made up of a highly complex mix of physical connections between neurons, electrical impulses, and chemistry. They don't realize that the substances we ingest can alter that system radically, or stubbornly hold onto the silly notion that what you injest cannot affect your personality or the choices you make.
This leaves a great opportunity for those of us opposed to silly business process patenting: patent the process of licensing patents.
If you can patent one licensing process, why not patent another? Let's patent the process of licensing patents in as many "novel" ways as possible. Then start patenting the licensing of a licensing patent. Or maybe we can "fractal patent" up the entire infinite patent-license-patent chain...dunno about that...
if you can't live with a clawed cat, Kill It, it's more merciful.
Now, that's a tad extreme. I declawed my cat. It's wasn't my finest hour, I'll admit (did it to please a girlfriend) but my kitty has done fine in the years since. He was a badass mutherfucker before, and he still is. He just wins fights by biting instead of clawing. The fights are actually fair now. (He hasn't killed another cat since being declawed. Before, though, he had several notches in his belt...uhhh...tail...)
We could easily eliminate the need for nuclear power by conserving more energy.
This man is out of touch with reality. I'd love it if the American people were less addicted to energy consumption, but they are, and that's not going to change. Never, in the course of human history, has a society reduced it's consumption rate without a catastrophic change coming first. (i.e. plague, war wiping it out, etc.) Making policy based on hopes that human nature will change is a fool's errand.
Now we just need to be able to build Eclipse itself using Java 1.5.
I just tried doing this from the Gentoo ebuild of eclipse 3.0.1. Bad idea! They use the variable name "enum" hundreds of times, generating tons of compiler warnings, for one. That didn't stop the compile, but it failed for other reasons.
Do a Google news search on "terrorists could" and check out the results. When I did it, 8/10 links were about "Bush says terrorists could..." Coincidence?
The plane's two pilots reported that the Boeing 737 had been five miles from the airport when they saw a laser beam inside the cockpit
If I read this right it says there was a beam (a visible point of light) inside the cockpit. This may not be the case, but it is one possible interpretation.
If this is the case it's pretty serious. Think about it. What kind of tracking system is necessary to get a laser beam into a cockpit window of a flying plane from the ground and keep it there long enough to be seen by the pilots?

You bet I would, and unlike our president you'd be sure and correct. :)
It helps when your incontrovertable facts have something to do with the discussion.
Here's the discussion in question:
Them: "we tried that for OVER A DECADE and it wasn't working"
You: Did we find any WMDs? NO!
In the context of "over a decade" saying we did not find WMD is demonstrably false.
Look, I agree with you that Bush is a tool, but you should argue with more precision and care.
You thinking that I'm upset is pretty amusing, too.
And, you're welcome.
...support W's claims?
This has nothing to do with W's claims. I'm talking about post Gulf War inspections (UNSCOM) that resulting in the disarming of Iraq. Check it out. Note 11 Dec, 1991: "Iraq releases information on its nuclear program"

Did we find any WMDs? NO!
Actually we found a lot. We cleaned up Saddam's chemical weapons program and discovered he had an active nuclear program.
So don't go saying we never found WMD in Iraq, we did, back in the late Bush Sr administration and Clinton years.
This points out an interesting fact: the inspections worked. Saddam was contained, his weapons programs destroyed, due to inspections.

4 months in Vietnam and he's a war hero.
He was there for one year and four months. The first year was served aboard the USS Gridley offshore from Vietnam.
Considering the utter shit that Michael's been approving lately, I'd just about decided to kill the bookmark to the site and go my merry way.
It's really hard hearing viewpoints you disagree with, isn't it?

Screaming, "IT'S YOUR FAULT" doesn't solve shit, so shut the fuck up.
p.s. If you're angry with me IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I'd love to see a code example for that.
Here's mine:Leave the declarations out and it's one line. Regardless, there are no objects or containers involved.
Are the rest of your assertions so flimsy?
That's certainly one possibility.
I wonder why that is, eh?

Why doesn't the Green Party support nuclear power?
With John Kerry, I do not know where he stands and thus can not evaluate where his views and mine might meet.
In this day and age you have to be willfully uninformed to say that. johnkerry.com, d00d.
