how does one come up with these numbers when the two highest selling movies of this whole year and possibly all time (Matrix Reloaded and Return Of The King) are pure 100% plot...? How does 10% of that spell success?
so, basically your saying that as a user of NetFlix, if I do not have a cue of at least 100, then I am getting screwed and i will never get the movies that I want? or, if everyone has at least 100 items in the cue, then anyone who doesnt realize they need to do the same thing would be getting screwed?
Netflix needs to start a "used movie" sales model if they want to compete with video stores. Netflix should stock up on popular movies and then unload them when demand for those movies decreases, otherwise they will never be able to adjust to demand... NEVER ever....
you can turn the floppy into a starship WITHOUT using scissors if you wrap the head mast supports "wrapped around the top from the bottom and putting the 'very thin' strips through the center hole in the ship bridge/head"
in reply to "Come on, stop this silly war, it will just bring more terrorism"...
the whole point is to scare the world population into thinking terrorism is wrong. it doesn't matter if we create 100 bin-ladens because the important thing is that the governments that host these terrorists are afraid that the US will put a stop to it. that is the only way that we can coerce these terrorist supporting countries to police their own territories. unfortunately, these countries support terrorist networks and do not think they cause a domestic threat. by threatening US intervention, they may start thinking that mabye , just mabye, terrorism is a bad thing. go figure. who would have guessed?
yeah, i just installed it also, and its really easy except it eats up way too much memory in its default configuration which has a bunch of not very necessary processes running in the background like alarm daemons, kwrited, khotkeys, artsd, kxkb, and some default docked applications.
i think that out of the box, most of these should be disabled. they consume too much memory. the memory usage could be cut by as much as 100MB if this was taken care of.

ok, this scares me. if its that easy for some random University professeur to get a hold of some plutonium for some experiments at a university, then how hard is it for a University student to get a hold of this stuff? how tight is the security on our nations stockpile of Plutonium? well, it seems that its not enough!!!!
Does a FREE, web based, "white list" email service currently exist anywhere on the internet? If it did, I might consider changing from my Yahoo mail.
As a matter of fact, it would be nice if Yahoo mail would give me the option of toggling a "white list" on or off, for my account. That way I could filter out junk mail forever.
i use a thing called MailFiler, which keeps a white list in a small Microsoft Access DB. It works fairly well, it filters about 60% of my junk mail correctly.
there is a reason why, in all schools across the country, that students in physics classes average nearly 30% on tests and quizes.
Its because, by making the curve that deep, its much easier for physics departmental heads to NOTICE a student who is conceptually able to rise far above the other students. A physics student with a high IQ can be very valuable to a schools physics program.
it would be nice to be able to browse the internet at work through a completely encrypted proxy so that the only thing the company sysadmin could possibly see is the domain name of the proxy machine and the amount of traffic...
i am comfortable with my ability to handle any administration problems that might arise from implementing a very large mail limit. anything larger than a CD-ROM in size is too large though. i won't go past that.
what makes this book so good is the way that tolkien makes the story seem very possible and believable (because he spent 10 years working out all the details), he doesn't cast redundant details at you on every page (which most books do and that wastes time and space), the main group of characters splits up into the two towers and so its almost as if your reading 2 or 3 books as you approach the end of the novel, and WHAMMO!, it all comes together at the end beautifully. the book can make you laugh, wonder, cry, and pee your pants. there isn't any superfluous details, sex, unneeded violence, stupid characters, or things that defy physics (besides magic). all in all, you get a book that doesn't insult the intelligence of the reader. some people wont have the spatial intelligence to contain the book as they read it, and those people will come out of it wondering why they read it, or quit before the 4th chapter. its too bad for them. this book is an achievement. these movies handle the books as well as the godfather handled its original book. a mighty achievement. the only thing i would have done differently is to NOT have the stupid "super orc" in the films, because he wasn't in the books, and that hollywood piece of shit wasn't necessary.
the reason this is so hard to understand is that your not taking into consideration of the factor of time. m=e/c2 right? c can be described in terms of distance/time and so you see the importance of time in this factor? as an object approaches the speed of light, its energy increases, which in turn says that mass increases, which says that time increases as well???????????
your right. does this game work like the real world, where market demand for money is effected by the supply? you can graph this with a simple micro-economics graph and show inefficiency of the game economy...

Just my two cents...
actually, "Morphix Linux" at distro-watch does this exactly. you should look into it...

i agree. the open source community needs to be a little more serious about the game market...

you can also use HTTrack to do the same thing as WGET...
This is an interesting coincidence since Beowolf is also being made into a movie, in addition to lord of the rings...

at $3.25 a shot, im sure they are sold out.
im paying $5.50 a shot in Portland, or. consider yourself lucky.

does this kind of thing exist?
it would be cool if you could connect two controllers together so that you can play two player games like Combat...
it would be even cooler if these things took flash memory...
yes, i run a Hitachi 823 at 1280x1024 at 85hz... and i cant run any less without it being unconfortable. a incandescant light helps also.
is it true that LCD screens do not flicker? if so, that sounds like the ticket to me me.
we are finally implementing SAML in our architecture, right now, as you speak.
this gave me a good laugh. thanks for the witty humor.
be careful, do you believe everything you read on the internet?

when will the media industry learn and invent something new rather than create something that was tried before and failed?
