We have a CineWorld in Bradford (West Yorkshire), and its has to be the worst cinema I've ever been in.
The screens are too small, the seats are just plain uncomfortable, and the sound, well I get better sound out of a pair of rubbish headphones. Infact, I've nearly walked out of a couple of showings because of the horrible sound, oh, and the smell of sick, that noone has cleaned up.
Now, the Ster Century cinema in Leeds city centre has huge screens, wonderful sound, and comfortable seats, and is probably the best cinema I've been in.
Of course, YMMV, but I'll be staying clear of all Cineworld cinemas.
'So, why did you pass the doorway of several brothels in Bangkok and was every girl who worked in each of them of the age of consent in the United States?"
If I pass several doors of brothels (I'm not going to, but hypothetically), but don't go in, how am I going to know how old the people working in there are? Or did you perhaps mean that this person went INTO the brothels?
Also, if I am in Bankok, I live by the laws of its country, not by the laws of my home country. Going by your logic, a person from the UK visiting the US, who is 19, can legally drink in the UK, should be able to in the US. but they can't, US law prohibits that. Are the laws of the US supposed to be the laws of the world?

You have a mail server set up at home, doing secure imap, which is the only hole in your firewall,
Why not punch another hole in your firewall for ssh? Then, when you're in an Internet cafe, its just a matter of grabbing a copy of putty from somewhere and connecting into your own server? Then you've also got all the tools you want right at your encrypted fingertips.
What about drbd? Its a mirroring thing, like raid 1, over a network. This way, the data is syncronised, and all you have to do is mount/share the data from the nearest server, by whichever way you want.
Try http://drbd.cubit.at/ this.
I think it can manage to re-sync everything when the network line comes back up, but I'm not sure.
I have a Creative Video Webcam Plus, its USB, uses the ov511 driver, and according to the module info, can support multiple cameras, and you can apparently turn off the auto brightness stuff, but I've not tried it.
Why not modinfo a bunch of webcam modules?:)
The idea is *just* to increase speed. Its for the pubs (or more likely, "trendy bars"), as pointed out here, where queues become a problem. From the ananonva article, its been done by the people who do Carling, which is a beer for people who don't like their insides very much (personal preference, I hate the stuff), and have both a short attention span and no ability to wait it out patiently at a packed bar.
I want my beer served at 4degC, in 117.5 seconds (or whatever the advert claims), with a little shamrock on the top;)
unless the copied Russian version is still flying.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure someone will, but didn't the first flight of the Russian copy crash, and put everyone off flying on Concorde?
If it hadn't crashed, there'd be alot more Concordes (probably), and maybe more super-sonic comercial jets.
Er, I don't think they did. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the samba team have to reverse engineer the protocol to get something that worked?
Hasn't its chatting capabilities been made obsolete by Instant Messengers and chat rooms such as Yahoo! chat?
I don't think that its "chatting capabilities" have been made obsolete by IMs, because with an IM, you only have your friends on your list, and you wouldn't meet any one new.
I can sort of agree with things like Yahoo chat, although I don't use it. Its kind of like IRC, or talkers (they still exist), but with pictures. The younger crowd (not the l337 h4ck3r5) who don't know about things like IRC or talkers, will use what they come across first, which is most likely, yahoo, or msn. They'll also use what their friends use.
So, I don't think IRC has been made obsolete, but uptake of it by newer users might not be brilliant.
Given that I have a couple of friends who knew it was released on Friday, and had downloaded it and installed it. I think the mirrors will have had time to catch up.
Also, I think that most FreeBSD users will be sensible enough to find a mirror, not all slashdotters are alike. Some are sensible, others are still learning.
Hacked code? Sure, I wouldn't like my code to try and remove a lump from my head, but from reading the article (go on, read it, it'll be worth your while), I don't think this is 'hacked code', more, actual code, thats been tested, over and over and over and (get the point yet?) over.
As the article states, this has been tested on animals, and cadavers (already dead people). If given the option, I would probably go with the machine, with a surgeon there to make sure the machine doesn't break, and if it does, to step in.
Although, I'd rather not have a lump in my head to begin with.
that might not like a video driver resolution
What? Are you having problems with Quake or something? The code would have no problems with the resolution, the windowmanager would simply make the window bigger than the screen, then its the surgeons / techs problem to sort out. I would hope that they'd at least run the simulation first to make sure they can see everything is working.
Mozilla - very good, feature packed, but no way near as good as IE
Are you talking about "IE faster than Moz", or "has more plugins"? If you're talking about speed, thats because IE is built INTO windows, Mozilla isn't built into Linux (or anything else), sure, its a little bloated, use one of the projects, like phoenix. As for plugins, sure, I can't get all the plugins to work, I can't see Realplayer stuff inside my window, but on my connection, that doesn't matter, it'd take a week to see a 50x50, 5sec animation. I'll figure that out one day.
Nautilus - Sure, its pretty, but I don't think its slow, I run the dropline-gnome package on my laptop, and its fast enough for what I want.
XMMS - better than what? Winamp?
I think its good, and have you seen Winamp3? I haven't seen the visualisation stuff (the little graphic eq) run faster than xmms on a 286, even on an Athlon machine. Maybe you're talking about plugins? Sure, they're easy to install for winamp, click, click, done. Linux makes you do stuff, which is half of the fun, but plugin installation has gotten alot easier recently.
We've had online stores in the uk for about a year now, maybe 18months. Initially, I think Tesco started off with a home delivery service, and its still going strong.
Later, other large stores have joined in the fun, incluing Asda (recently bought by WalMart), Sainsburys, and others (that I can't think of right now).
So really, I don't see how this is news for everyone.
The entire fish family essentially breathes water (the suck water in, take the oxygen, shove out water and co2). They aren't controlling their breathing like we can.
Pop quiz hotshot - what if I hack into redhat.com and change one line in the depths of the linux kernel...
Whats the ratio of people that regularly download their kernel from a kernel.org mirror, compared that those grabbing it from redhats network? The only people that would be likely to notice would be those that rely on redhat compiling their kernel for them, and that probably means they'll turn their machine off at night, so (systemtime mod 1000)==0 wouldn't be likely to happen that often:P
The Enigma machine was really useful for the Germans, until the operators got lazy. Maybe such words as those you've mentioned helped a little, but the operators encrypting the transmissions were the really weak link in the whole thing.
I suggest you read 'Enigma' by Robbert Harris. Or probably 'The Code Book' by Simon Singh.
and may be the only way wireless broadband will ever be achieved!
In the UK, there is a company called Tele2, offering WirelessDSL. The home user thing was 150Kbps symetrical, with up to about 1Mbps symetrical (If you have that kind of money). All you need is a dish on your house (about the size of a small pizza box) pointed at the local basestation.
Microsoft Mice are AFAIK, made by Logitech, or at least they were originally.... Maybe someone at Microsoft noticed that it said Logitech underneath, and told them to take it off..

As far as I'm aware, there is a LAN mode to the game, meaning all you need is X-Link Kai to be able to play "online".
