There was the game Final Fight. Then there's the series Final Fantasy. Actually Final Fight had several versions so it could be a 'series' too. So now, you have a Final Fight game and you have Final Fantasy. Both involve fighting. Confused which is which fellow gamers? Think not.
Same idea/point as your post but didn't they also do the same thing with Nick Fury... or it just the "Ultimates" universe version of Nick? They made him a completely different person as a white guy than a black guy, long before Samuel Jackson has been playing his role in the movies. In a sense, the new Nick in the comics is an interesting character.
I'm was just shocked at the change when, as I grew up, I knew Nick Fury as having a certain personality and all and now he's completely different.
Another sign..... that bribery works to get what you want out of the legal and political system. No surprise.
What would be interesting is every American gave $1 to fight this lobby group. $300 mil would hire a nice team that could rid the MPAA and RIAA in short order methinks.
"Basically, the article is far too light on details."
So is your comment since you only detail the power consumption. You fail to mention how many Libraries of Congress these systems can process. This is the all important benchmark on Slashdot and if you can't tell us this then I hope you don't get modded informative.
I should be modded informative since I will inevitably inspire someone to respond to this post with the correct answer to "How many Libraries of Congress this system process?". `
I know the capacity is small, but I think the best format so far are the Sony Mini Discs. Too bad discontinued. The cases didn't take more space than the disc and for some of them you slid and snapped it in. No Scratching the media to worry about.
Sorry but this dude is asking for it. He has a similar last name to the bad guy from the Zelda games. The cops are doing us a favor. Think of the children!
Preserving the existing aresenal is all fine and well. I'm not for eliminating it. The current warheads have x number of years left in them. What's it going to cost to restart the program?
If I remember, there 's little or no capability to make the nuclear material anymore or at least the tritium to add to the weapons. And I don't think this is a process where you're "Hey, we need tritium" "Ok i'll have it for you tomorrow."
So if we maintain and THEN need to build new bombs, whats it going to cost? Probably north of $1 trillion/yr.
Yeah he looks better this season. Thing is though, that they had a "special" 2 hr episode of Sam Ax when he was a SEAL. The time line was about 10 years prior to Burn Notice. He didn't seem to have lost the weight before the show. Which makes him a bit less believable as a SEAL. Michael just grew a beard!
Its actually the same problem with intelligence agencies and heck the "information age" in corporations. We have more data that we have to look at. There's always more data. So we need more computers and more employees.
Its not bad for the economy in a sense. But it usually works out better for the firms that end up getting the contracts to add the computers. And in the case of government, great for the careers for those in departments that are trying to make themselves feel more important by getting more money to spend on important things. Important is subjective here. But its the way government spins.
Here someone else is ranting and raving on Slashdot without thinking.
Haven't you thought of the children in your post? Encouraging internet cafe use is bad. Cafe's serve coffee. Coffee has caffeine which stunts growth.
How dare you encourage a new generation populated by a majority of midgets* in order to screw over Big Brother for monitoring Internet use!!!!
*We know they will be a majority population because geeks won't go to a cafe. They have a coffee maker in their mother's basement next to their computers.
I agree with your point. But, the fact of the matter remains that contracts are too bloody complicated. We should opt for universal language in employment contracts and make them easier for the employee to understand. One where for most workers can confidently sign the contract knowing they understand all the rules and regulations without having a contract or (as some people do) believe what their boss or HR is telling them it means without even reading it. Exception being C-level positions where they can afford a lawyer.
Every place I have worked has significantly different wording in the contracts even though I'm doing the same type of work in the same industries.
In my carefully controlled laboratory (the basement of my parent's house), I decided to try things that would enhance the wireless connectivity. "Scientists" tend to only focus on the negative. Who wants to read something that very craftily calls us idiots? Summary of article the article I didn't read: "Want better wireless? Get rid of the microwave, dumb ass!"
I'm going to write a paper. But my parents want me to clean up the basement first. I don't feel like it...... so its going to take a while.:)
In writing this more positive paper, I felt gold dust would be the best stuff to sprinkle in the air to enhance wireless signals. After all, this stuff works *MIRACLES* for stereo cables and computer cables. Why not wireless signals?
So I installed some fans in the basement to blow the gold dust around while testing my wireless network. I tried 3 different gold samples. 1) Gold bought from Dollar Store. 2) Gold bought from Pawn Shop. 3) Gold extracted from Monster Cables.
Total cost of materials (gold): $2000*. Acquiring gold from the first two sources was much cheaper than the 3rd (see Marketing Materials as reference).
I'm not going to bore you with the methodology. "What was the purity of the samples?", you might ask. I trust I'm getting 100% Gold from all my sources. They told me it is.
Suffice it to say, my paper will conclude (I'm not done looking at most if of the results just yet and don't think I need to) that sprinkling gold dust in the air boosted wireless signals up to 2 x 10 ^ 3 % (this is a scientific study so I must use scientific notation!). I'll leave the reader to conclude which of the 3 sources resulted in the best results. Frankly, I lost track.
True. I think the Defenders of the Crown and It Came from the Desert are probably the best versions released! Still though, there was never WIng Commander 1 & 2 for Amiga. Still one of my top 10 games of all time.
That's what I've been trying to figure out. How are they able to Trademark this? Has Disney or its affiliates at any time in the last 25+ years made anything in reference to ST6. I remember when I was a teenager in the early 90's reading or hearing about ST6. So how can you trademark that name?
There aren't a lot of industries that can just go to the government either and get special taxes setup for them for consumer purchases. These ideas also remain hidden until they are just about to be passed.
My entire purchased @retail or Amazon CD collection (300+ CDs) is all backed up using rips in FLAC. Why? Sounds good. And I also have one of the few MP3 players able to play it. So my entire retail purchased CD collection also exists on Memory Cards. I'm quited peeved at this news. I started buying a bit on iTunes since better selection than physical copies but even then, are they going to tax my Operating System for being able to interpret all storage media to play their bloody songs.
Screw you Music Industry Lobby! I how ALL of you lose your jobs when artists go independent of your labels.
Apple keyboards already have this predictive typing. It would explain the Apple "fan" sites and compliments Apple gets on its products.To start my explanation, i want to say I'm on a Windows PC with non-mac keyboard so its pure WITIWIG (What i type is what i get).
You see, when an Apple user really wants to write: "Apple sucks so much that I want to give Steve Jobs the finger, he sucks, all Apple products suck. ROT IN HELL APPLE!!!!!"
What actually shows up on the screen is: "Apple is super so much that I want to give Steve Jobs my hand for marriage. He's super, all Apple users are super. All is swell with my Apple products! "
Because of the predictive typing keyboard, all Apple fanboy websites are created on a Mac. Without exception - they can't type the truth. That's why all these web sites are basically PR machines. If you try and get smart and use a different keyboard on your Mac, OS X has software to handle predictive typing too. The real, true and honest Apple feedback comes from users that are using something other than a Mac.
If you look on Cryptome, you'll see some AP photos of the dead messengers. They're pretty gruesome so Hillary might be reacting to the wet-work of ST6. Just my thought. I'd caution if you have a weak stomach to not look at the photos though.
I have a lingering thought though that he might have been captured alive and not killed.
Personally, I don't really care what happened to Bin Laden. I hope he's dead but I'm not going to dwell on the conspiracies. I only think that the USA took care of him in a way they saw fit.
But, there's been pictures of the dead infamous throughout history killers, dictators, criminals, war lords, blah blah I think they weren't concerned with releasing photos of Saddam dead. Though there could have equally been 'security' concerns over that one too.
SEALS have some really specialized equipment. So do a lot of the other SPEC-OPS teams from what I've seen in the public. SPEC-OPS gets its own budget that they can kind of do whatever they want with it. So because of what they do and getting their own budget, they are said to build small batches of their own equipment. I'm sure paratroopers in WW II and SAS back in the day would have done the same. Not unlinke probably the spy agencies too. Come to think of it, wasn't the U-2 a CIA project?
Awesome idea. I've been thinking about different schemes since my stuff is an absolute mess and this is probably the best idea I've come across yet. Thanks!

Well, at least the cop wasn't allegedly beating up the 15yr old.
Or the Word 'Final'.

So what next Marvel writers?
Thor the Norse God of Thunder as a Rastafarian?

Can't be all that bad. What kind of country music? I don't mind the lying part. Besides, its only considered a lie if you know the truth.
By this time next year.... "EA announces today the release of a new Plants* vs Zombies* game"
* Plants and Zombies not included. Must purchase as a DLC.
