The linked article says Jake Gyllenhaal has been lined-up as a possible replacement. While he was previously typecast into creepy character roles (Donnie Darko and The Good Girl), he proved in Moonlight Mile that he is a thousand times the actor of Tobey Maguire. Not that I wish any suffering on Maguire, but I do believe the sequel would be better off without him.
NASA has put forth numerous lies about the space program, such as spreading the idea that the "Moon": is not a ridiculous liberal myth.
It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors.. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt.45 and a.38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
I don't believe a word spewed from the mouths of those bureacrats.
Apparently, the only way Farscape will be saved is if UPN picks it up for season five. This will only happen if the remaining season four episodes get high ratings, which doesn't seem likely without publicity. So write to UPN and encourage non-geek friends (or those who happen to have Nielson boxes in their homes) to watch the show.
Nobody on their death bed ever said "I wish I had spent more time alone in front of my computer".
I imagine this guy would have said something along those lines.

The transfer speed of USB is limited to 1.5 Mb/s (theoretical, in real world terms it's far lower), while a high quality VCD (MPEG-1) is nearly twice that. If you have a Mac, why not take advantage of the built in IEE-1396 that has come standard in Macs since 2000? Faster speed potential is your friend, especially with video. It's hard for me to imagine something inferior to VHS able to replace a VCR (in terms of ease of use and quality).
And here's why: By default, every network service is turned off in an OpenBSD install. So of course it's going to be secure! There's no possible way for a machine not connected to the 'net to be hacked into! Contrast this with Microsoft's method of enabling every network service in the default install. This is the reason why so many NT boxes have been exploited; not because of inferior products, but because of the fact that tens of thousands of people are needlessly running remote access software on the desktop.
In my with securing servers, Mandrake 8.0 takes the least amount of effort to lock down while still providing a useful server after the default install. The BSD community should take a hint and start gearing toward usability rather than "superior" security.
Despite looking "hi-tech" (since when did that become a noteworthy style?) these things look like they'll be hell on your hands/wrists/arms. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a very real problem, but unfortunately many people are under the false impression that it is caused by keyboards and not by mice. I'll stick with my old mouse and not leave my health up to the whim of fashion, thank you very much.
But why only the optical version? Optics in mice has yet to develop enough to become sufficient for higher end graphics work (hell, even Logitech is still making "old-fashioned" roller ball mice). Accuracy is important- why are mouse manufacturers neglecting pay attention to such a significant number of potential customers?
Instead of spending the time to create a guide through the installation, it might be a better idea to make a more intuitive installation system. That's one thing RedHat/Mandrake have over Debian. If Debian wants to increase its market share, it will have to follow their lead and "dumb itself down" a little for less experienced users.
The average monthly salary in India is somewhere along the lines of $37. A person earning that much could hardly afford the luxuries of such a handheld, even if it could be attained for the paltry sum of $200. Pennies to us, but to them it could take a lifetime to acquire that amount of savings. Until we work to attain far cheaper methods of building computers, these people will be unable to experience the very joy we take for granted. Of course, this is a noble effort and no doubt will further number of Indians able to participate in the IT field, but further effort is needed.
When are these studios going to get it through their heads that these ridiculous copy protection schemes don't do anything but instill bad faith? The IP address restriction seems silly, the IP address has almost nothing to do with the country of origin. I can think of a thousand different scenarios in which a person may appear to have an address located in Hong Kong but is in reality in the United States. And the 24 hour playtime limit? There is a reason Blockbuster just extended the rental time from 5 days to 7. That's how long people want it! Some people say it's good that studios are beginning to get the picture, they're becoming less restrictive with digital media, but a compromise like this is just bad taste.
Spending all these resources investigation such distant objects in outer space when there is so muchso close to us that we have yet to get a good view of. Walk before we run people!
By engaging in this limited censorship they are opening themselves up as being liable for not censoring other "controversial" sites? IIRC, that's one of the reasons universities choose traffic shaping over outright blocking- to avoid legal complications.
The first time I went to install Debian it was pretty intimidating with dozens of packages all over the place I didn't know what the hell was going on so I decided to go back to good ol' RedHat 6.2. Trusty and reliable I always say!

A more useful approach, instead of building the station 5/6 of the way, would be to simply build it on the surface of the moon (not the dark side). If you're going to bother with a multi-billion dollar project, you might as well put it somewhere useful. Besides, where better to have an international space station than an international planet?
They won't have to worry so much about radiation, either.
Why not just get a notebook with the same features? It won't be that much more expensive and would be a whole lot more useful than a portable DVD drive without a screen.
But every VAIO I've used/seen has felt like a cheap hunk of plastic. A friend of mine bought one about a year ago, and within 3 months it had to be sent in for various parts breaking twice. I think they should focus on making these tiny suckers durable, I mean, with something that small, it's bound to find itself in undesirable situations.

Good lord, that's the last thing I want to imagine the /. crowd doing.

This desire to see bloodshed between our heroes is obviously human nature, take the popularity of MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch.
So why haven't we seen more things like exhibitional wrestling matches between Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, and Bill Gates?
Or ESR and RMS?

Sounds like "for 12 monkeys with kazoos."
No, I take that back. It didn't sound that good.

I guess this makes the demise of AIX official.
IBM is pooling all its resources into Linux now.
I suppose that's both a good and a bad thing.
Just download the shockwave file.
Carbon monoxide? Carcinogenic hard drives! I was worried about my computer being too safe.
