The real point is to sit around with your buddies for a couple of hours, and drink a few beers. If sports were really that interesting to watch, you'd stay sober and tell your buddies to fuck off 'cuz you're busy.
Amen.
I live in Australia. Sport is the unofficial religion of the country. Unfortunatley I am a heretic - I have never understood the point of either playing or watching sport.
If I want to sit around with my friends getting drunk - I talk to them, I don't watch sport. If you don't have enough to talk about with a friend (and that bothers you) then you either need to spend more time talking with them or you need to find new friends.
The standard also paves the way for optional content protection, which is not automatically part of the standard, Lempesis said. Instead, a module could be added by manufacturers to prevent unauthorized content from being viewed on the display--a feature surely to be a hit in Hollywood.
God, what is with the constant ball sucking of hollywood? Who gives a shit what they want? It would be nice if the RIAA/MPAA actually dealt with their own problems for once instead of trying to get some non existant magic bullet.
I'm not worried.
China makes pretty much every bit of tech I own. China knows that anything that degrades my user experience (just like region encoding) equals an automatic no buy and China doesn't give a fuck about hollywood or copyright. God bless China and all who sail in her.
Seriously though, if you want something that just works - buy old gear. It's been around long enough (in some cases 6 months) that the hardware and driver bugs have been ironed out.
Male egg chicks are at least disposed of quickly, but usually not disposed of, generally just discarded, i.e. in a dumpster or elsewhere.
I saw a documentary on chicken sexing, in which the chickens were sorted into a kind of metal double funnel. The outside funnel was for the females and lead to a holding pen, the inside funnel was for the males and exited into a high speed grinder. The resulting mess was dried and sold as blood and bone fertiliser. Moral is, nothing gets wasted on the farm.
I don't care much for the windows vs. mac argument but you don't see many people getting into a riot over windows boxen. Maybe they're just more reserved?
Civil liberties, who cares? Call me when I can store my files on it - I would voluntarily get a storage device installed. Preferably wireless and able to play my Mp3s directly into my ears.
I was in some stupid 'team building' meeting at work the other day. It was one of those things where they hired a motivational speaker to come in and tell us all how to be good people.
I hate 'team building'.
My personal favorite is the activity where you're supposed to image you are in a boat in an emergency and you've got a list of things to keep/discard. I always keep the most valuable thing and tell the others that I would eat them so that I would be both well fed and rich when I was rescued.
Oh, that's right... the frozen embryos have souls or some such shit. Yes, this is a hateful post because I simply can't fathom why this scientific area can't be advanced without controversy in the US. I really, really don't get it. I'd love for somebody to explain it to me. Please!
Clearly it is thus, research = thinking = the work of the Devil. God loves the ignorant above all others.
Now cover up those dirty pillows and get in your cupboard and pray!
When it comes to women, it will still just be a matter of how much you are willing to spend to get a piece of that self-absorbed, attention-seeking, validation-needing ass.
It's times like this that I'm really happy to be gay. No man has ever wanted a diamond to put out, most don't even require an alcoholic beverage.
speaking from AU, I'm glad that the UK folks made it available - I never would have been able to see such an excellent series otherwise.
The networks here don't give a damn about the viewers and seem to change a show's timeslot every five minutes. Who's got the time to chase the network around to see the shows they want? At least this way I get to see the show on my terms.
You guys simply have to sell the idea to game developers.
Hey guys, you know what would be a great idea? Lets target an OS used primarily for servers, that's build around the ethos of free software. That should fill the coffers.
Selling the idea is one thing, making a sound business case is another.
But in the Australian case, if there is a free trade agreement, either you or US customers can argue that not being able to buy their DVD in the other country, due to collusion between producers and manufacturers, is a restriction to free trade between Australia and the US, maintaining artifical prices. Thus, you have an even better reason to repel this system...
It's called a 'free trade agreement' when it should be called 'protection for American trade and a severe arse ramming for Australian industries agreement'. Search slashdot if you want to read about how bad the FTA is.
The market will set the price, and right now it has done so very efficiently for DVDs.
Maybe where you are, but region coding exists solely to ensure that the highest possible price is payed for that corresponding market.
I live in Australia, where the free trade agreement with America is about to come into force and make region coding legal here (after it was struck down by our consumer body the ACCC). Do you really think that is going to drive DVD prices down?
God I hate our politicians, they've made my country into America's bitch.
Yeah because clearly the company that you work for is more important then your children. If my boss ever gives me shit about showing up late or leaving early because of a sick child I'll hand in my resignation on the spot. Your family is a million times more important then your company.
It's amazing how many managers baulk when you tell them that work isn't the most important thing in your life.
You can always get another job, you can't get another life.

Here's the easy rules for graphics hardware:
Yeah, but three times is the charm.

See, it's all so clear.

I'm afraid so. DuPont, Monsanto, Bayer CropScience

That's why it's called "scoring".
So how is the job at the Utah tourism commission going?

No, Devs and Admins have differences. The entire IT dept is mortal enemies with Sales, Marketing, Management and HR (in that order).

Unless your side wins, in which case you're a freedom fighter.
The advertisers see you as an untapped market.

Snap, crackle and pop.

That, is what we refer to in Australia as 'speaking out of his arse'.
