Oh, come on, name me one major hollywood movie with more realistic IT in it.
The First Wives Club. At one point in the movie, one of the characters is in her husband's office. She opens up a document in Microsoft Word and saves it to a disk.
...the fourth stronghold of Linux that Microsoft wants is the SaaS stronghold where Linux is the operating system behind a Java-based application server technology
Sure, that makes sense, especially considering the big announcement last month of JBoss partnering with Microsoft to build up interoperability with Windows servers and the JEMS stuff.
Lucas is credited with the story for Empire, but the script was written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan: IMDB. Jedi was officially written by Lucas and Kasdan: IMDB, and Lucas, Kasdan and Lawrence Kaufman are credited with Raiders: IMDB, while the other two (now three) Indiana Jones movies have Lucas credited for story, characters and as a producer.
My current travel iPod setup consists of a Belkin power adapter with a TuneCast plugged into it (sounds a little better than the iTrip, IMO). I want a car stereo into which I can plug in my iPod [maybe like an old 8-track deck:)] and control it through the head unit.
But iMS has always offered the option for artists to sell their albums as whole packages instead of individual tracks, so they're either misinformed or have other issues with the service.
IIRC - you only get the plea for Quicktime Pro once per day/24 hours - once you say "Later", it stays gone until the next day. No less annoying, though.
There was a bit on the Two Towers DVD regarding that. I don't remember it word for word, but apparently, the huge pipe from which they recieved the dailys ended short of where Jackson was staying and cutting the soundtrack/movie/whatever, and they needed to use IP-by-foot to get it the last mile.
Yes, but the store that offers them for $169 has ratings of "LIARS! THIEFS!" in their Pricewatch writeups. The more reasonable prices (~$220) offered there have much higher store ratings.
Proprietary for a portable game console is just fine.
True, but the Gamecube doesn't deign to be anything more than a game machine. If Microsoft said that it could only play Microsoft DVD's instead of any one you wanted on the Xbox, it might have affected sales (more adversely than they are now). Similarly, if Sony is going to trump up the PSP's ability to play MP3s or movies and require yet another new technology or data format, it will likely not offer enough motivation for customers to dump their GBA's for another portable device.
They come with Panther whether you buy it today or on Friday - Apple's site says it comes with it installed, and since the ship date is set to 3-5 business days from now, you'll definitely get it.
One quick note - unless they've upgraded it, it doesn't seem to block onUnload() actions at all - I still get "exit" pop-ups from time to time. I've also noticed that The Weather Channel seems to load pop-ups differently - perhaps via a Flash ad, which the Googlebar isn't effective against, either.
At least the movie industry is smart enough to put a list of don't on every movie. Interestingly enough, there aren't as many DVD rips out there.
I think this might be more due to the fact that a DVD rip is going to be maybe 200 times as large (or more) than an average MP3. I don't think movie sharing's ever going to reach the saturation point that music has, even when very fast connections are commonplace. A single track is only going to take up a few minutes of your time, and you can listen to music in the background. Movies are usually going to run at least 90 minutes and require a lot more attention, so I doubt they'll ever be as "collectable."
The copyinng of copyrighted music is forbidden, nothing said about the quality
No, it's not forbidden at all. The RIAA would love for the simple act of copying to be illegal, but this was hashed out maybe 15 years ago in Congress. Fair use says I can make as many copies of my CD's/Tapes/Records/8-tracks/wax cylinders as I want. It's the sharing of that music with which the RIAA is taking issue.
Probably a little late to bring this up (and I'm sure someone downthread's mentioned it) but the new SQL Server (Tahoe? Yukon? Some SUV Name) lets you write stored procedures in any.NET language you want. So, you could embed C# directly into the database without a problem. Hell, you could embed Python.NET directly into the database...
Special CDs that will ONLY play in the order they specify? You MUST listen to tracks 1-14 in order or the CD won't play?
That wouldn't be surprising at all. If you go rent (or own) David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" aside from the always-welcome hot lesbian action, the DVD has no chapter stops, you can only play it straight through (or FF a lot). Lynch explained he did it that way so you'd be forced to experience the entire storyline the way he set it out in order to figure out the puzzle/nightmare.
If DVD audio really takes off, I'd be willing to bet you'll see either new (or re-issued) "concept albums" that will only have one "track" and force the listener to sit through the whole thing.
I prefer Postgres over MySQL, but I will point out that there is a method of using things like foreign keys and transactions in MySQL - InnoDB. I haven't used it yet, but if anyone is using MySQL and may be needing transaction processing or the like, they can look into this.
Hmm, it took place in 1999, but the twins were driving an Escalade EXT which wasn't introduced until the 2003 model year. Not to mention Trinity, Morpheus and the Keymaker get away in a CTS, which is also a new model.

"Ow! OWWWWWWWWW!"
...and then have to find another soul to sell to afford repairs.

Anywhere from 2 to 3.
I like my coffee like I like my women: French, sugary and picked up at 7-11.
Obviously, you've never been married.

put the fruit in the totem's mouth and pay attention (but save first)
