How could you possibly tell the difference anyhow? If you're like 99% of the people in the US, you're just watching DVD's or (if you're really lucky) badly artifacted, low bandwidth signals from a satellite or cable provider.
Personally, I just think this is a really bad marketing move on Nintendo's part -- they should stick "HD compatible" on the checklist on the side of the box, and then not actually provide any increased resolution. That way, everyone with an HD TV who has never actually seen an HD signal can feel all smug, and pretend like they can see the difference.
Did you REALLY believe Lucas when he told you he had six (or nine, he keeps changing his mind) episodes all plotted out before he ever started on the first movie? Here's a clue for you: he lied!
No, the entire plot is exactly like Lucas originally imagined it, where the emporer is a dark and shadowy figure unseen until the 9th movie.

PHP is more powerful than ASP
As horrible as ASP may be, it's not even true that PHP is better.
Well, Carol is going to be very upset if she doesn't get to view the DVD, because its contents (the movie) are kept secret from her.
And, Alice is going to be very upset to discover that Bob is a DVD player, and really doesn't have any money of its own to buy copies of movies.
No, ultimately if you're going to have to let the person who paid for the movie watch it. Until you force the viewer to include her eyeballs in the same chunk of epoxy they're so deftly putting the decryption codes in, there will be an unencrypted version of the movie floating between the screen and the eyeball.
I'm guessing that a total accounting of all the costs to continuously deploy a carrier group to a specific location in the Pacific would greater than all of NASA's current budget. Those hundred-million plus annual dollar costs were just for one boat, not including the rest of the boats in the group, plus planes, training, rotation, support costs, etc.
There are reasons that America spends more on the military than every other country on earth combined, and carrier groups are part of that reason.
Note: the funding NASA has received over the last couple of decades is equivalent to the funding it received during the Apollo program in adjusted dollars, so it's not like NASA is the equivalent of the hapless panhandler many slashdotters make it out to be.
I applaud you for a troll well done, sir.
But you had better believe, regardless of any perceived sensibilities, that other posters may lay claim to, e.g., facts and figures, that you're wrong.
you don't want to do a few years of evening work to give yourselves a great leg up for the rest of your lives.
Some people would, and some people wouldn't. The question is what type of homework, and how much, gives people a "great leg up" for the rest of their lives?
It may in fact be that simply doing work helps -- digging ditches, filling out crossword puzzles, doing the same math problem for the 20th time, filling in the ditch again. Or, simply doing work may not help. I don't know, and neither do you.
OMG... the slashdot article continues under the advertisement.
Which begs the question -- is the slashdot page layout done by drunken monkeys? Or, did go nuts when they were flush with IPO cash, and spend the extra money for the superior crack addled monkeys?
Java client-side scripting works, but the LiveConnect object is undocumented, unsupported, and buggy on Internet Explorer.
Actually, that's not a huge problem, because LiveConnect was poorly supported and buggy on Netscape 4.x series, too.
I have no idea LiveConnect even exists on Mozilla/Firefox or KHTML.
And yes... VBScript, PerlScript, PythonScript, etc. probably all work on Internet Explorer. I'm guessing you'll find very few developers who write pages that depend on them, though.
Hell, ever see the movie "Old School"... According to the GP, that dude should be listed in a sex offenders registry!
Old School is a movie. In most of the United States, we don't yet list movie characters in the sex offender registries.
If you would like to petition to have imaginary people subject to the criminal justice system, please contact your legislators. If you live in California, you perhaps should petition to have a "cyborg robot from the future I once saw on the TV" prosecuted for attempted murder.
The age of consent in most of the United States is 16.
I kind of doubt there is a real person, with a real name, who lives in a real state, who is a real sex offender solely because he had sex with 17 year old girl shortly after his own 18th birthday.
No matter how fast a computer people here have, many of them will want to tinker with thier computers to make them faster. Like people who soup up cars.
If by "people who soup up cars" you mean "ricers", then yes.
OMG ROFLMAO KIKI I just overclocked my AMD K400 to 12 Parsecs!1!!!! Zerg Rush!
I'm not sure "parameterized queries" is what the GGP meant by "bind variables", because he mentioned that "bind variables" might only be used on "large applications." Truthfully, I thought everyone always used parameterized queries on all calls to the dabase, from all applications, large and small.
And yes, the Perl MySQL drivers have supported this for at least the last 6 years.

Skinny is 6' 1" and 120 lbs. But 6' 1" and 155 lbs is a normal weight.
if he's 6' 2" and 180 lbs and doesn't have a 300 lbs bench, he's a fatass.

Were you being ironic? Or was that an honest attempt at defending the Bible as the "universally reliable word God?"

I feel that you're over-reaching when you use the infamous "someone" argument against censorship.
Well, it sounds like that "someone" is "you."
Unless you see some other Texan around here who has started off on a pro-censorship screed...
As for the anti-muni bill, there are MANY places across Texas where access to even a POTS line is a luxury.
The point is that not five minutes after the state or local municpalities step in to provide broadband, someone is going to decide to censor it.
Oh, sorry, my bad. Texas is already trying to censor taxpayer-funded broadband.
Well, thank God this law failed, so that we're still able to protect the precious children!
Oh thank God. I was afraid Texas was going to have a hard time justifying censoring broadband.
But if it's state run, that's the perfect excuse.

Could provide his name, so we can look it up in the sex offenders registry and confirm your tale?
You're smoking crack. Client-Side scripting has always been in JavaScript or languages that look exactly like JavaScript.

I've read that Spirit and Opportunity combined cost around 800 million dollars. A manned mars mission might cost a trillion dollars.
In my book, that's about 2000 times the cost of one probe, not 100 times the cost.
And, frankly, if a mars shot was anything like the moon shots, it would just be a vanity mission. The people wouldn't add a damn thing.
That just isn't true!! I'd rather crash in a new mini than a new f150
Pickup trucks have always been insanely dangerous to drive. Many SUV's haven't been much better.
Statistically, you're generally safest in a mid-size or larger car.
You described "Parameterized Queries."
I'm not sure "parameterized queries" is what the GGP meant by "bind variables", because he mentioned that "bind variables" might only be used on "large applications." Truthfully, I thought everyone always used parameterized queries on all calls to the dabase, from all applications, large and small.

What the heck is a bind variable?
