"Surprise surprise. It's hard to lie when everyone can see right through you."
While partly true we can see how divisive america is right now esp with fox news.
True. Disregarding the abuse scandal and all that jazz, it seems to me the Pope has a point regarding more general matters. Specifically, with the line "[new media] exacerbates tensions between nations and within nations themselves."
Does free flow of information always do more good than harm, for example? I recall a story from a while ago about how people can more easily find support for their arguments and position, and so the Internet actually divides as well as unites, while entrenching opinions.
once the html is in my browser it will be parsed how I see fit on MY machine.
Here's a thought, just to play devil's advocate. Is it legal to modify the content being transmitted to my own machine? I don't have copyright over it, so do I only have permission to transfer it for viewing? The browser has to render it of course, so there's wiggle room there, but what about Privoxy?
In the same vein, does the ISP have the right to modify, for example replacing ads with their own? In fact, I wonder if any ISP's are surreptitiously doing just that right now. Not necessarily different ads, just redirecting the cash flow. Who would notice!
You're getting me wrong. Putting a movie together is art, just as putting a cutscene together in a game is art. The backgrounds, sprites, and music of Super Mario Bros 3 is art. But is the gameplay art? Nobody would say that the rules of checkers are art, even if the board and pieces may be.
When playing a game, art may perhaps be created on-the-fly, but does that make the gameplay itself inherently art? I'm not sure myself..
For example, suppose I hand out flyers on the street, urging people to do certain things. Eventually, random people will walk around in certain ways, creating a large, intricate pattern visible in Google Earth. Are the rules I handed out art?
Now, Ebert may be full of it in TFA, but I think he has a point, at least.
Logging of vitals signs is both for good and bad, it might be a hypochondriac's nightmare. I'm looking forward to automated health monitoring myself, but before that, just looking at raw data is probably not going to be all that useful, as I'll see all sorts of "problems" going on that aren't really problems. Interpretation is key.
Eventually it'll progress to phone-sex with your kin. And before you know it, someone's hacked it, and you'll be forking little baby processes with your kin. A rather incestuous device, it seems.
There's a very good BBC documentary about Tourette's and its sufferers called "I swear I can't help it". Recommended watching for anyone interested in the disorder.
That's why it's a better idea to generate 52 32-bit integers, assign them to each card in the deck, then sort according to the generated numbers. It's probably clear why this is an adequate method, even for quite large card decks. I'm sure something similar works for Scrabble.
Yes, but your complement costs 20 times as much, for just one pad. It's a great idea, but the economics aren't flattering, even if the price drops to $200. Unless the iPad(s) or similar become ubiquitous, but I don't see that happening.
Nope, Citibank on Linux here. Anyway, OT but I just discovered the timeline feature. I had no idea about the explosion in popularity of the letter C around 1000 AD.
Coverups of the fuckups also happen, as the video shows. But more importantly, saying "they do it too" is the most cynical, small-minded excuse possible.
Put a water boiler on your desk, problem solved. Seriously, a cup of quality tea can be a significant relaxant, effective within just a few minutes. I've started using white tea myself.
That doesn't mean that there aren't particular kinds of speech that you may not engage in. And by "you", I mean the police officers, but it applies to you as well.

Would you care to quantify the risks of flying in this particular incident? You won't, because you can't. Who made you an expert, anyway?
Lisa del Giocondo, and Mona = ma donna.
Quicktime? Isn't that against some anti-proliferation treaty?

I think Ebert's point is that the game itself is still not art. The graphics, sound and atmosphere are, but the mechanics of the game aren't.

Not quite routine, since the engines are in an unknown state even if running.

This may be a dumb question, I have no experience with VS, but why is it called a solution file?
I think you're confusing anthropology with paleontology.
"Near infinite" distance? I live just beyond infinity, so that must be my neighbour.
Maybe this is what they are considering: some (a lot of?) people would switch back to Google anyway, so they'd lose money on that.
So, how's that war on religion going?
Not giving kids sex education is like turning off the airbags when they go driving. How's that war on kids going?

Try tea instead of coffee. Less stimulating, more healthy.

Exactly. Thus, everything except unlawful stuff != no restrictions.
Are saying that you can publish anything you like without legal consequences?
