Seems like the bigger the film, the more of these glitches surface as they rush to the box office.
Nah, the bigger the film, the more nitpicky people get. If a movie sucks, then noone's going to point out that the dead guy's Michigan license plate is post-1998, when the movie was supposedly set in 1997.

Is Caps Lock Dead?
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
The caps lock key *is* useful, but it is more trouble than it is worth. Do you know what the #1 tech support answer for everything is?:
"Ok sir, your password is not working? Ok then, have you tried turning off your caps lock? Yes sir, the caps lock key. That's a key on the left side of the middle of your keyboard. Try pressing it once and then typing in your password again. Working now? Very good sir, have a good day."
Productivity in the US may increase by 10% if we got rid of the stupid thing. If you *need* to type in all caps, pick a menu-option in your word processor or other application.
Coincidentally, I just created a new journal entry on this very topic. Hopefully, a good discussion will develop. We'd all do well to learn more about the world economy.
This particular analysis does not tell us exactly how accurate the rest of the model is, and several other professional statistician shortcomings. Remember, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics; this is just another statistic.
In other words, they are saying their numbers are also probably wrong. At least they admit it.
That is a very bold statement. Would you say the same about Super-String theories? What about black holes? At what point does something become observable ?
The first Mars Scout mission is planned for launch in 2007 with arrival at Mars in 2008.
Wow. If this succeeds, there'll be "space plane(s)" on Mars by 2008. I'm extremely curious what the required budget is for this project. Anyone know? 10 million USD? 100 million USD?
This though experiment also assumes that the hole doesn't just close back up within 50 milliseconds. Even if this probe were to continue burrowing downwards, after it hit several miles down, I imagine that the empty space above it would simply fill back in.
This is especially true if the probe just "burns" through whatever is beneath it. Even though the probe is passing through the "burnt" earth, that doesn't mean the burnt earth doesn't just re-solidify after the probe passes through it.
A significant number of nominees said that for a variety of reasons they were reluctant to travel to San Francisco.
They are probably afraid to travel to San Francisco, or anywhere else for that matter. If they leave the office for more than a day or so, many of them are probably afraid they'll be replaced.
And with the antitrust case against Microsoft settled, DeGroot added, "There's less of a need for Microsoft to show interest in keeping independent software vendors going."
That's the heart of the issue, right there. So ironic.
... the flat limestone plateau of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula
In this particular case, though, this research is verifying a long held belief that a giant asteroid/comet hit the Yucatan Peninsula. This is not news of a new asteroid.

Is this the same movie?: IMDB link. Or did Steven buy these guys out?
Yes, but most of those people are multi-tasking with a TV show in the background.
Amazon is at the top of list list for silly patents.
Here is just one of many places: Play Zork.

Here's a cheaper way to get a Segway ;-).
Walmart was the third most searched for retailer last year (via Google). People are certainly willing and able to find Walmart on the internet.
This one is headquartered at Peoria, IL.. I don't think this one is in 3d.

On a related note, here is the history of Usenet. Unlike the story-linked-site, the Usenet site is a real history, and is in many ways funnier.
Microsoft's attempt to "lock down" the Xbox's parts is a prelude to using similar techniques to keep PCs from running anything but Windows.
Could this really happen? How would Microsoft deny having a monopoly if they went this route?
