Given Ms. Kriedel's conservative Mormon roots, one can understand why the family might be giving it out that she died of natural causes.
I assume you're point is that suicide is considered an unforgivable sin in Mormonism?
If so, and if they really believed it, I would expect them to be far more worried about their daughter's eternal fate, than what the community thought.
(Movie was a moderately faithful adaptation, as such things go-- unlike some SF movies, where little is taken from the book other than the name, and--in the case of Bladerunner--not even that.)
Yeah, it really grinds my gears the way that most movies and books differ in both content and title.
'For a variety of reasons some development expense, some quality assurance and some business reasons Nvidia will not support GPU accelerated PhysX with Nvidia GPUs while GPU rendering is happening on non-Nvidia GPUs.'
It seems to me that for a number of years we've been living as though Autodesk's position is the legal one.
So is it maybe the case that if Autodesk prevails, we pretty much keep the status quo, but if Autodesk loses, we have some of our freedoms reaffirmed by the courts?
It sounds like we should be glad this is going to trial.

Well I suppose it depends on how you define natural causes...
Lead poisoning?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
C'mon you Americans, it's not like you don't defend your national pride in space either! :-)
Bad premise. Since the Bush administration, most of us don't have any national pride.
It's called acceleration. Duh...
Damn, now PETA is going to bitch about what happens when dolphins use these laptops.
Oh quit the moral bullshit, people need to eat too and rent isn't free.
It's rarely the case that someone filing a patent is just trying to make the month's rent.
If it was truly a case of the guy being homeless and/or starving if he didn't file the patent, I'd be more sympathetic.
BTW, your view also has "moral bullshit" packed into it, just less explicitly. You're being an obnoxious hypocrite.
Your choice is whether to be selfish or decent. Are you going to stand on the shoulders of giants, but sue anyone who would stand on yours?
How you proceed says a bit about who you are.
The real WTF is that they're making fun of people with macroencephaly!
Hey! I'm a foetus, you insensitive clod!
I do not want to see how you run your network/power cables...
I'm sure there's some medical/advertising standards authority that'd like to rip them a new orifice for popularising morbid anorexia in this way.
Anorexia won't make your head bigger than your pelvis.

Stupid Russians...
I think most/all of us take the term "hyperdrive" to imply FTL speeds.
Yeah. Actually, it makes me think we're going to form the Galaxy Rangers and take on the Queen of the Crown and her Slaver Lords.
(Too obscure?)
Sadly, no.
Quoth Balmer, "Let's see hackers find our security holes in this address space!"
There's a hyperdriven black hole careering all around Northern Europe? That's a hot mess waiting to happen.
It's like that childrens' book, "If you give a black hold a continent..."
I think most/all of us take the term "hyperdrive" to imply FTL speeds.
This technology doesn't claim to achieve that.
Based on their past problems replacing their IT systems, my guess is that it's because he can't find his computer's "on" switch.
The US has lost the title of land of the free unfortunately its citizens have not yet realized it.
Many of us have. We're just impotent to do anything about it, and tired of our impotent rage, we try to tune it out and get on with life.
And the fact that South America never held the Olympics before.
You're forgetting the Georgia olympics.
No, the person wasn't begging for his life after being waterboarded.
These guys were not trained by our honorable military.
Yeah, it really grinds my gears the way that most movies and books differ in both content and title.
But maybe we're just purists.
Good point.
Why is this not anti-trust? ...
Because nVidia doesn't have a monopoly in the video card market.
At least he was 33.3% truthful.

Worth watching, if for no other reason than the quality of production.
George Lucas tricked me with that line, and I still have nightmares...
I'm not sure what I saw that night. It was so dark.
Here's an anti-texting-and-driving PSA video I came across.
It's a dramatization, but I found it to be uncommonly disturbing. Worth watching, if for no other reason than the quality of production.
