It's actually -22. You forgot to add the 1, so that's one's complement, not two's. I'm assuming the "-21base2" instead of "-21base10" thing was a typo as well
I read the linked article, and wow that guy sure has Apple on quite a high pedestal. I could probably use some more colourful language to describe his attitudes towards Apple, but I'm generally more polite than that. Seriously, read it yourself, it's hilarious. Also, in an attempt to spell in a pretentious manner, he used "lessor" instead of "lesser". A lessor is someone who leases, not, as he intended, the inferior.
Look at the multiple attempts to adapt Hitchhiker's Guide. It's been done as a radio show, BBC mini-series and a Hollywood movie - all failing in various degrees to capture the humor and fun of the four books of the "trilogy".
There are five books in the "increasingly inaccurately named" trilogy. And the radio show was the original form, the books were in fact adaptations of that (the first two anyway). Everything else came after the books, true, but Douglas Adams worked on all of them.
I was working at yahoo in the early days and I got the job of working to integrate the stuff geocities was doing with some of our stuff. The moment I met them I was convinced these were the wrong sort of people to be working for yahoo. They developed on Windows by Crom! When anyone asks when yahoo started going downhill I point to the GeoCities acquisition.
This is just a production by Rifftrax, which has been doing this for a while now. The other half of the crew are doing a similar thing called Cinema Titanic I believe. From the headline, I thought both groups had reconciled and were doing something together.
Interesting. That technique saved my life when i was about a week old. I was born with a severe coarctation of the aorta which almost totally obstructed blood flow from my heart. I went into heart failure soon after I was born but the doctors were able to widen the hole with a catheter so that my blood could flow. Then when I was ten I had surgery to remove the coarctation altogether.
Please oh please someone mod parent funny. I haven't had any mod points recently since someone modded one of my posts troll. I've been metamoderating like crazy lately trying to get them back, but so far no luck. But the parent post just doubled me over in hysterics.
Somewhere along the line Disney sold their corporate soul. The magic is gone. I think that happened right about the same time they started threatening to sue day care centers for having Disney characters painted on the walls.
Oh, I know... Who in the heck could possibly believe that it was good business sense to eliminate a source of free publicity targeted at the younger side of their demographic which instilled in them brand loyalty about as early as possible, not to mention how this grinchy attitude negatively impacted Disney's reputation among the parents, teachers and caregivers of the little ones, i.e. the people who actually spent the money on their behalf. That has to be one of the most monumental PR blunders in history, right up there with New Coke.
THat's an interesting take, I'd be interested in hearing your reasoning behind it. Kind of brings to mind the whole debate over the order of the episodes of The Prisoner.
I'll name one, Monster-in-Law. It hasn't opened yet and it's getting pre-release reviews like:
"A deeply dispiriting movie, not just because it is grindingly bad but because Jane Fonda actually chose this for her comeback after a 15-year absence from the screen."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
and
"The experience of viewing this movie represents a one-way ticket into tedium and a forced 90-minute imprisonment with Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, both of whom give performances that can charitably be called cringe-inducing."
-- James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
I swear James Berardinelli is one of those that I see quoted in countless ads for mediocre movies, so if he's saying that... ouch.
And really, this is nothing uncommon. It's only the really really bad movies that studios will withhold fram pre-release reviews, because they know they don't have the kind of power to do what the parent is suggesting and that they wouldn't be able to stop a mountain of bad pre-release buzz. I think the parent is expressing a rather paranoid view of the movie industry, but I suppose with what the average/. user knows about them, that's to be expected. But reviewers are one group of people the studios want to stay on the good side of, so they don't tend to bully them.
I totally agree. I have a lot of comics and they're all pretty much worth less than toilet paper monitarily, seeing as how they're mostly black and white independent books that have nothing to do with superheroes, but I have no intention to sell them just like I don't have any intention to sell any of my other books. I like to re-read them from time to time and that's worth a lot more to me personally than attempting to treat them as a commodity or an investment.
from TFA: "At 3M, however, there is a long-standing policy that permits employees to spend fifteen percent of their time working on projects of their own choosing."
I guess Google can't be credited with innovating that (although I've never seen anyone claim that they had). I wonder how many other companies have done something like this?

But why, when we have GPS?

Well, I guess that's one alternative to dietary fiber...

Oh, no, sorry, turns out it's a little more complicated than that. Here's the story.
I believe Jackson sold them to Sony to alleviate some of his debt.
i use sharpkeys as well. i would also recommend it.
i got my 1987 model M for $4 from a goodwill in delavan wisconsin. i was so excited when i found it there. i heart my keyboard.
i have both issues of big numbers, so you lose your bet. neener neener. now send me money.
It worked for me, perhaps because I included the apostrophe. I guess the standard Google fuzziness doesn't apply to movie titles (yet?)

1980? geez, that means Romy had to be about 9 or 10 years old when she invented them.
So what does that mean for possible sequels? Would someone else play Arthur or will Martin continue that role, but take no new comedic roles?
