Congrats to John King and Candy Crowley from CNN, for not griping about staying up past their bedtimes, unlike certain anchors.
Fox news sucks so bad, they reported what they saw on CNN, on a 5-minute delay.
This is madcap. 100 million people cast their votes, and the whole election comes down to the votes of write-ins and dead people. The whole thing smells of large numbers of people casting reactionary votes. If we get one decent candidate for president, he/she will win by a landslide.
Now that most everyone can see what everyone else is doing, elections and campaigns are better sporting events than sports.

Good call. +6, insightful.
Whether or not breaches of copyright are actually damaging anymore, the enemy PR machines have pretty much succeeded in using the word 'Napster' to suck freedom of thought into an 'evil' setting.
(I know, I'm just bitching. but not for long.)
That's the closest relation I can think of. It's the 17-years later, scaled up game in the style of of the coin-op...
8-player Gauntlet, where the characters can pick up, buy, sell, and trade powerups and other items that improve their effectiveness, and spend 10 seconds per map getting beat up while your PC tries to load animation...
Iirc, the center was set up to monitor shipping lanes for icebergs, and try to destroy them if possible. There's some rather funny footage of US Navy destroyers trying to shell an iceberg; they'd have done better trying to break up a mountain. I think they had to settle for tracking the bergs and forwarding the tracking data to ships.
...where the class determines the algorithm(s) behind a bit of code.
I.E., instead of saying "This is [an algorithm], and this is how it works," say "This is code that implements [an algorithm], tell me how it works."
A next step along this line would be to take the same code example and task the class with "improving" the code's implementation of the algorithm, or implementing the algorithm in a larger project (which would also require implementation changes).
I'm completely amazed that he didn't wipe out any hard drives with casing dust/fragments. I keep looking at my PC, and it keeps inching slowly towards the door....it can read my mind, I guess.
It kind of reminds me of the time I did a system upgrade, got bored and ran the old parts with some other spares, on a towel for a week or two.
And it also reminds me of the friend who referred to the missing drivebay faceplate as a "gaping hole" in the PC....hehe.
It's 4500 less direct pieces of evidence that region encoding==market fixing. Or so they may think.
On the other hand, 4500 * $25.00(wholesale, number pulled from a hat) = $112500 in potential revenue for what's essentially a niche movie in the US, by adding an existing soundtrack. That's an easy call to make, if the disk isn't in print yet.
You know, if Disney wasn't an MPAA member, I'd buy this disk.
I haven't watched that many (most recently Ran and 7 Samurai), but the PM voiceover casting seemed like a (1954)Godzilla-style "Americanization". Duh. Billy Bob Thornton did do a good job, though.
I didn't know about this I read the review. She and Geoffrey Rush(?) made House on Haunted Hill worth the 99 cents I paid for the ticket. So maybe I'll catch X-Men in the matinee.
Seriously, though. The pictures I've seen of Wolverine show the claws protruding from the knuckles. Didn't the comic Wolverine's claws protrude from the top of his hand, or wrist?
Duh! total and complete DUH! Viewing the comments on a movie review article, then bitching about a (peter allen-style) plot synopsis, is very similar to sticking one's finger in a light socket and bitching about getting zapped.
The reason why DirectX makes folks sick is the once-per-30-frames blurb of "Microsoft is your friend...", which induces nausea in people capable of critical thinking.....
Seriously, though, I did get quite ill playing Turok at a friend's house last year. It was similar to what I feel like if I read in a moving car. Other than that, I've never had much of a problem with sickness.
My worst problem has been tunnel vision. I feel like I'm looking through a paper-towel roll when I'm playing FPS. I don't know if field of view is configurable from game to game, but I'd like to play around with that to see if it makes a difference.
probably either staged, or a disgruntled employee. Probably the latter, actually, because addresses check out on some of those leads described in the emails. I don't think those folks would willingly give out salary, employer, phone numbers, etc., without compensation.
Without seeing anything else on the site but a spash page, It looks like the Barbie brand is being leveraged. I also see two mistakes made so far:
They used the.com TLD, which may give "The BarbieCube" an extra argument to slip by an unsuspecting judge. Of course, that may be the only TLD available for that name, but that's a pesky detail at this point.
The game mentioned is Starseige: Tribes. If this was a Quake site, the torches would already be lit.
As for Mattel, the Barbiecube is about to assimilate some more mindshare.
It's really hard for plants to grow on asphalt or concrete. not impossible, but hard. I.E., we have a lot less plants and a lot more people nowadays. You could easily fit some of these on some houses, it's not like the roofs don't have the free surface area to support some solar panels....heck, I could fit one of those things in the trunk of my car if I wanted.
Breyer, in his dissent, attempts to apply "opt-in" and "opt-out" to cable channels...an interesting perversion, relative to the terms' usage to describe advertising. Other than that, it seems that every time I read a Scalia opinion, he comes off as one who does not acknowledge the separation of church and state. Depressing.
Slashdot Mirror
Divorcing to appeal the electorate isn't quite as sad as staying married (and quiet) to appeal to the electorate.
And yes, it is my business. It's everyone's business, because it's politics.
That being said, my earlier comment was more prediction than advocation.
Generally, I consider the US parties to align like this, with some overlap. Ordered from left to right...
Socialist
Reform(Hagelin)
Green
Democrat
Libertarian
Republican
Prohibition
Reform(Buchanan)
I put Libertarians in the middle, but really, they tend to vary.
The best thing Hillary can do is give Bill a pink slip. If Hillary does that, she probably wouldn't have to worry about re-election.

I'd rather watch a rover landing on Christmas Day than 1..n stupid parades.

'P' and 'L' were left unscathed. There's no word on whether or not this will affect 'T's current sponsorship deal with Sesame Street.

It had some Iowa-sized asteroid hitting the earth at a 90-degree angle, like God was taking a dump on the planet or something.

One on Starcraft/Brood War, one on Diablo.
U.S. Single, Male, Georgia, target.
Income tax: 28%
State tax (varies): 6%
Social Sec. Tax 12%
Medicare 1.5%
Total: 47.5% of income over $6750. Just, damn.
State sales tax is 4 or 5%, with local options adding 1 or 2 percent.
