If you are a celebrity and want Wikipedia to have a good photo of you, provide one with the appropriate license and stop bitching. Problem solved! If you can't provide a picture under a free license, don't complain when someone else puts up a crappy picture. There is no problem here.
Not only that, but did you know that a HUGE chunk of movie "costs" are to pay big-name actors? These celeb wages are just ridiculous, they could easily cut down a lot of costs by lowering their wages down to something reasonable, or using new actors that aren't as spoiled and greedy.
Why stop there? Why not build a full-fledged home-control system. Control the lights, turn the TV on/off, lock/unlock the front door, etc, etc, etc. All from a neat web interface. (just make sure it's good and secure so someone won't start blinking your lights through the internet).
I got fed up with this region crap long ago. You would have thought now that there's no technical reason to do this, they would want to serve their customers in the best way they could. Of course not. That's why there's NO FUCKING WAY I'm getting a PAL anything anymore. Oh and since I'm venting, I might as well say; dear Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. FUCK YOU RIGHT IN THE EYE SOCKET WITH A BIG FAT RUBBER DICK!
To be honest, a fully functional 100 megahertz/ 16 megabyte machine today would be awesome. You don't really need a powerful machine for school-related work. Unless you're running intensive weather simulations or something. A 2009 laptop will work just as good in 2018, provided it doesn't break down.
However, it is true that you don't really need laptops for learning. Laptops are highly overrated for education in my opinion.
Too bad you get NO additional background pictures to choose from. You can of course use any picture you like, but by default, you have a choice between
1) the brown default picture or
2) solid brown.
Would it really be so difficult to include maybe 5 different pictures?
I don't care what any grammar nazi says. It's just not logical. It doesn't make sense. Whoever who thought up that rule clearly hasn't programmed at all.
The DSi is to DS what Gameboy Micro is to the GBA; no more backwards compatibility, but a better screen.
Personally, I would rather go for the DS lite which has only a tiny bit worse screen than DSi but still really good, and would recommend the same to everyone.
You would need an impartial observer to make such an experiment. Perhaps some kind of machine that can measure such a force? Then do the experiment with two groups, etc. If you do not have that, then there is absolutely no functional difference between such a "force" and faith/placebo. Unless of course if such a machine doesn't exist. So the problem isn't with science. It's that we don't yet have machines that can measure everything. When we understand consciousness better, we'll do experiments with that as well. Or would you prefer we all went with faith instead? That isn't science.
I don't know why you say that James Randi is not a man of science. Yes, I suspect that you do, as do I, perceive him as kind of cynical and dismissive of paranormal arguments. But then again, so would you be if you had been dealing with the world's biggest crazy nutty self-deluded crackpots for the last 50 years. And it doesn't really surprise me that no one won the prize. After all, it would be about the most important profound scientific discovery of recent times if it ever happened.
Even if such a massive boycott took place(which will never happen), the RIAA would be all like "Shit, look, now everyone is pirating out shit!!!111 ZOMG!" And then they would sue everyone on earth who has an internet connection.
..which is really stupid when you think about it. If you are at war, you've already forsaken any honor and reason you could possibly have anyway, so why bother? It's like that thing with sterilizing a needle before using it to inject someone with lethal poison.
I think it's because humans simply don't want to be fighting each other, so they try to hold on to their humanity somewhat even when it contradicts the situation.

Wait, shouldn't the moon then be ... less ... uh, cratered?
Sounds like a problem with your workplace rather than with Wikipedia.

Because of the way Morrowind is designed, playing it feels like walking through a fancy database.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!

Why would you import a PAL Wii to anywhere? That's retarded.

Sorry, there is no such thing.

Just don't walk on grates while wearing high heels. It's a grate hazard.

Go to gmail.com, and make a new account. Go on. Then tell me if you still think CAPTCHAS are not annoying.
I don't recall saying it was bad to have choices. You do have the freedom to choose any license you like. That is a good thing.
That's your choice of course. I guess I'm glad not everyone is like you.
That's fine, but if you're using any free software at all in your life, you should think about your attitude.

Forget about Randi's challenge. Just prove scientifically something paranormal. Get a Nobel prize (or at least some recognition).
Laser beams, dude. Frickin' laser beams!
And what happens after you have downloaded 3 Linux distros and then get your internet removed for "illegal downloading"?
