There was a big sign on the screen... after you had bought your ticket and sat down, of course!
At first I thought it was some new sex-offender legislation:-)
But then I thought, Oh, the studios are pushing some propaganda to (in the long term) make the population more fearful (ohmigod, I have a camera in my bag, I might get chucked into jail by the IP police) and resigned to think "intellectual property" is a meaningful term.
For example, Malfoy is a silly twerp in the film and Crab and Goyle are just kids - Hermione could easily take them out, let alone Ron or Harry. They don't have a feeling of being school bullies at all - so if they were your favourite characters you might think twice. Apart from that it's still a great film though. Snape is excellent, and the plot is pretty good. Perhaps it could do with one or two extra short scenes in the DVD edition, but they weren't integral.
Just by people I know watching Van Helsing and telling me that listening to the script/dialog makes you want to tear your ears from your head and unlearn the English language meant that I decided not to go and see it, despite the nice graphics.
OK, so we tossed away the computer, aerospace, and other industries.
But look at the popularity of the ideas we exported; why, in central London a pub has a sign outside saying it was where the Communist Manifesto was launched, and offering themed lunches (borscht etc.) (oddly I can't remember a similar sign outside the hofbrauhaus in Munich). Who would have thought that would take off?
Yes, briefly. i.e. after the immigrants from the USA colonised it, then rebelled against the spanish rulers, but before they rejoined their original country.
That implements distributed compiling which works fine. But many companies do not have it, because that would cost money. Maybe they think programmers' time is cheap.
That's not the only reason! The bar I go to mainly employs young and very beautiful staff. This is because they want to attract customers who fancy the staff. Sheesh, just having all the ex-boyfriends of some of them come along is enough to make a profit:-)
This strategy is less likely to work if all your staff look like Alice Cooper.
ActRaiser has a good tune, which I have put on my phone some time ago after faffing about with MIDI. But the phone is too quiet when it starts ringing:-(
The slashdot timewarp strikes again... what you're describing has been happening for years in Europe, it's a huge revenue earner for the record companies.
Surely the point is that now we can compose our own music and download that, instead of the current pop and classical tunes which are advertised for download in every newspaper and magazine on premium rate numbers and have been for years.
I have a T610. It takes one second to start ringing and 29 seconds for it to climb to over 30 decibels and be audible to human hearing, at which time it instantly switches to voicemail. Argh!
They like people who chat and use mobile phones in cinemas and concerts. They chose a rock concert rather than a Beethoven symphony to illustrate though (hint: dynamic range).
They don't like bus lanes/car-pool lanes, and the ability for fire engines to go "wheeoh" and everyone else to pull off to the side of the road to let them get past.
You are allowed to use "reasonable" force. That generally doesn't involve shooting them in the back as they run away, if you are referring to the Tony Martin case.
Thanks for pointing out that website! After seeing that Richard Stallman was speaking in London tonight I went out to listen to him and it was very interesting!

But with these machines, you will get proof that America is behind the president 110% !

It's a suburb of Malmo, isn't it? I believe there's a bridge...
Ik vind je Ardich. Een cola alstubleft.
Yup, on slashdot you can misspell in any language!

Too right, it's Manaus isn't it? Well, somewhere far away from the people anyway :-)
Oh wait... that is actually how it looks at the moment.

Like the Czech guy who went to the Nigerian embassey and started shooting random Nigerians cos he was sick of the spam?
Sorta like the Meyers-Briggs personality tests we have here then... or handwriting analysis. Who knows maybe phrenology will make a comeback!
Just as well I use metric then :-)

Only in even-tempered scales.

That's why I only breathe LiquiVent instead of that "air" stuff you common people breathe...

Certainly function pointers are treated interestingly on my machine (they are a 16 bit pointer to a 32 bit pointer, for ease of sloppy programming).

When I do my shopping there at 2am there are no screaming kids :-)
(plenty of pallets blocking the aisles though).

I just saw a huge napster.co.uk logo being projected in Chinatown in London tonight. So I guess that's what that was all about.
