damn that must've been a rough moment, I can't imagine having to walk into that theater and try to calm them down.
My SW experience: a private screening the day before it came out, about 10 of us. I help a friend of mine test the movies when they come in to make sure they are in good condition.
I've been to 3 movies in my life that crashed. We got free tickets at 2 (the other was free already, a school field trip) and were allowed to finish the movies when they got back up and running.
shit happens in analog, too.
in decimal, "and" = a decimal

my little brother could send an email about the new System of a Down video. It could be short and sweet, something like this:
"Dood, you gotta see Boom. I just downloaded it. It fuckin kills. It's the bomb."
that would trigger a flag in a system somewhere, he would suddenly become suspect. they could then check his library records, find out that the had checked out "the anarchist's cookbook" (in order to get drug-making recipes). He is now a possible terrorist. The power they have to 'dissappear' him w/o reason, warning, or rights is worse than every in our lifetimes.
And how do your prove that you are not a terrorist if you you insist on telling the truth that you don't like our current elected leaders and their power-grabbing?
we moved offices and I was put in a huge room with 4 cubicles. mine was somewhat isolated and it made sense that it was mine. directly behind me was a door. That door was fully glass and led to the sales department. i almost quit over that.
the ending is NOT speilburg's creation. It is slightly altered but is from the second script that Kubrick wrote. Kubrick's ending was a little too bad, though. The fairy tale expert he had working with him on it was furious about his ending and stopped working on the project because fairy tales must end with the hero reaching his goal.
Kubrick knew that his ending was bad (yet 90% identical to the ending we all saw) and asked Speilburg to direct because, he said, if he did it himself, it would be too dark.
I don't need elementary school but that doesn't mean it's going away. I don't need training wheels on my bike but that doesn't mean they're going to stop making training wheels. I don't need one of those cool little sippy-cups, a bib (well, okay, sometimes), a booster seat, rails on my bed to keep me from falling out, etc, etc, etc, but NONE of that stuff is going away.
I don't need cartoons or flashy graphics on my TV shows and movies, but damn it I want them and they better not go away.
I've never had a guy in a butterfly suit on my computer, except for Arthur (from the Tick, a cartoon with flash graphics), but I think he was a moth.

LCD Overtaking CRT

broke users who demand quality.
cheap LCD monitors look like my old laptop monitor. I didn't complain too much about the laptop because it was only a laptop. No way I'm paying twice as much for a monitor that doesn't work as well as my dinosaur of a CRT.
"no way I'm paying" means "I can not afford", in this case.
the difference is the same as the difference between the two football teams in a championship game. They have different sponsors, different owners, but that is about all. Their fans pick a side and root blindly for their team.
I wanted views, stored procedures, triggers, etc. I wanted them badly enough to pull out my wallet and finance them. I wrote a check to Microsoft and bought MS SQLServer 2000.
In the USA, ignorance, although rampant, is not a viable excuse for a crime. It is unfortunate, but true. You don't have to know the speed limit nor how fast you were going in order to get a speeding ticket.
that's like having an article saying "greatest television show ever coming soon to TNN". Just because someone is trying to do it doesn't mean you should talk about it like they achieved it. If it isn't photorealistic, then it shouldn't be referred to as "a photorealistic computer-generated TV series".
you send me a spam at my hotmail address and you will not get a bounced message. Your message may or may not get to me, though, it depends on my filter rules. You send an email to me at my aol account and you prolly won't get a bounce message, more or likely, but I won't get your email.

were they hit by Nimbda? or just aggravated by it?
if you want the masses to use that format, you need to change the name.
Seriously.

It's great to see a newpaper outlet acting like the truth matters.
Now if only Nike and Fox felt the same way.

"...or buy a new system at an inflated price, that will do exactly the same thing your old system did..."
The 2003 servers will cost the same or, in some cases less than 2000 server. And you call that inflation?
the "2003" server was originally supposed to be released at the same time as XP Pro and Home. So, to answer your question, no.

I think it will eventually get the props it deserves. Hopefully the human race will still be around...

I just decided to buy this a few hours ago, and now I hear they're selling that branch.

welcome to US politics.
Other people have done bad things so nobody should mention anything stupid that Gore has done?

I thought it was. It's been a long time since I've installed it, but I remember the confusion when XP came out because IIS wasn't there after install.
Final Fantasy wasn't photorealistic. This isn't as good as Final Fantasy. That means this isn't photorealistic.
