Since Xena: Warrior Princess is a trademark of Universal TV Distribution Holdings LLC
and a copyright of Universal Television Enterprises LLLP, could they potentially sue for usage of a refernce to Xena?
I realize this is not going to happen, just curious as to the legal possibilities.
This reminds me of a Microsoft program from years ago which let you specify what type of music you wanted, what mood, and so forth, and it would generate a midi file for you based on your settings.
The folder browsing view where folders appear in a new pane on the right every time a new folder is selected, one after another. What's that called? Can I reproduce the same effect in linux?
PEOPLE!! STOP. Stop using "theory" in regards to science as a theory in the common definition. A scientific theory is very well backed up by facts.
"In layman's terms, if something is said to be "just a theory," it usually means that it is a mere guess, or is unproved. It might even lack credibility. But in scientific terms, a theory implies that something has been proven and is generally accepted as being true."
I will personally stangle the next person who does this. Pisses me off. Scientific Theory = Scientific Fact. Bitches. http://wilstar.com/theories.htm
Its just that college is bullshit.
That's the numbers they are tracking. All the smart geeks realize that certifications and other pieces of paper saying a person knows something in particular most of the time are complete crap. I've met many a MCSE or A+ "certified technicians" who don't know SHIT.
There are plenty of non certified, non college graduate geeks out there who know more in a lot of cases than their "educated" counterparts.
I currently develop multimillion dollar web apps for multinational corporations and state governments. I didn't graduate from high school. I didn't go to college. Yet I have a Doctorate of Divinity (thanks ULC!). Degrees are total bullshit. Book learning can be very helpful, but real world experience is the only thing that matters.

Surprise: People are more willing to buy movies if they don't suck, and are cheaper. So spend less money on the actors and LEGAL FEES associated with suing p2p people, and focus on plots.
Movie theaters need to post the actual times the movies start, they already started doing this in New York IIRC, and show only previews (NO ADS) before the movies. Again, even if the movie theaters cut prices, it won't matter, because people will actually COME to the theaters and pay a reasonable price for drinks of all sizes to be FREE REFILLS and respect theaters for not being dicks and triyng to rape the consumer.
We're not idiots, but they think we are. Then they wonder why we don't want to be sheep. DUH.
If you read the google talk about and developer pages, they clearly say that Google is committed to open standards. Skype is certainly not an open standard!
Listen, I haven't seen an elephant in years, and you know what? I don't care.
Nobody needs the stupid elephants anyways, they can just stay their ass in Africa.
"Megafauna" can "mega blow me".
(p.s. i love lions, cheetahs, and wild horses though!)
Let me get this right, if you look at something, and it catches your attention, for whatever reason..then...you can't focus on anything else. WOW. what a revelation. So you mean when I'm driving down the road and I see a porno billboard, I can't help to look...I really needed this research to point this out to me.
Slashdot Mirror
Why should we be worried about diseases if urine is sterile?
Is it not?
"But didn't Lotus Notes suck?"
:)
Yeah..but....look where they are now.
Opera should become OSS and work with Firefox to make an interesting new baby. :)
They just released the fucking product, get off their backs!
I 3 Google!
Anyone have a good reason?
Is anyone really interested in this?
I'm not saying its not a good game, just that it has no place on slashdot.
Kevin Mitnick's hack into NORAD inspired the film.

Anyone else remember this?
I won first place in both the ACTE, as well as the Computer Olympiad programming compteitions, years later they asked me to judge them both.
I'd be happy to answer any questions.
need i say more?
Anyone got one?

My apologies, I was only trying to convey the message of "theories" being misinterpreted.

ACTUALLY LISTENED!
Look! Pay attention all who hate on piracy and despise users for doing what they want:
Google listens, gives everything away for free, yet is one of the richest and most loved companies.
BBC is just now listening to what people say,
and now we must give them respect for doing that.
MPAA recently said that they could be wrong too, and that their movies sucked. They do.
What a novel concept! Give people what they want and they won't hate you so much.
Go with the flow instead of against it. Gah, haven't you people read the Tao?

Yes they do. Watch this.
1. Miramax to Theaters: Hey..if you want our movies..cut the high priced shit out.
Theaters: but..!
