It'll be released eventually. You don't spend $40 million to make a movie and not release it. Especially with all the free advertising it's getting through the media.

Two meetings in my career have stood out as examples of poorly put-together meetings:
The weekly status meeting in the room with an automatic light switch, where the lights went out because there wasn't enough movement in the room.
Another weekly status meeting (in another company) where my coworker got angry with our project leader, and threatened to continue the discussion outside in, say, a more physical manner.
We often hear about the 5 W's in school--perhaps those planning meetings could focus a little more on the Who and Why, as opposed to the What, Where, and When?
Oh, we were talking about corporate meetings. Never mind.
P.S. - instead of being fired, my coworker was moved to another project, working with newer technology and not having to deal wiith daily production issues. Talk about sending a message to the rest of the staff!
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government

enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a
crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws."
The FCC specifies limitations on bandwidth for amateur radio frequencies (see sections 97.305 and 97.307).
In general, you're limted to 300 baud below the 10m band, 1200 baud in the 10m band, 19.6K baud in the 6m and 2m bands and 56K baud in the 1.25m and 70cm bands.
Most packet radio activity I've heard of has been in the 2m and 70cm bands (there may possibly be some 6m activity, but I can't say for sure). These are VHF bands, so they aren't shortwave, strictly speaking.
So the short answer is: No, it's not high-bandwidth, but it's better than no-bandwidth.:)
I was wondering, given France's 35-hour work week, how they could legally have crunch times which are common to other game development studios.
A little Googling shows that Ubisoft has facilities in several countries and actually purchased two U.S. studios (RedStorm and Game Studio) in 2000-01.
It appears that they've been a part of the general consolidation in the games industry as well.
I also have to wonder whether the Feds and/or the EU would allow an outright takeover in the first place, given the antitrust implications.
However, there are laws that do hold officers of a publicly-traded corporation individually accountable, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Corporate officers who intentionally misrepresent the financial condition of their corporation can face fines and imprisonment.
Corporations are also taxed using different rules as opposed to individuals, and usually wind up paying higher rates (in theory) than individuals (although this varies according to the structure of the corporation.) As individuals do, they also find ways to minimize their tax burdens.
Ultimately, a corporation is responsible to its shareholders (owners). Governments can and do seize assets of corporations involved in illegal activity, and can shut them down.
And of course, corporations were originally created to shield their owners (shareholders) from legal liability beyond their investment in the corporation.
At the time, I worked for a Fortune 500 company that had begun its remediation efforts in 1997. In 1998, all of the company's IT groups had to certify that they were "Y2K ready". We had to develop and execute test plans on all of our in-house systems, and had to get vendor statements regarding compliance on their systems. As a result of that, some issues were identified and the necessary fixes were performed on the system my group supported.
They even had planned a four-day shutdown around January 1st in order to handle any issues that cropped up, even after all the testing and certification that had been done. This was a good thing because I spent 1/1/2000 at work putting in some last-minute fixes that didn't crop up during our testing, as well as identifying some non-compliant hardware.
I believe the Year 2000 issue could have been much worse than it was, but it wasn't because people recognized how bad things could have been and had plans in place to deal with potential issues.
If the ??AA didn't have to spend millions of dollars in legal fees, they could possibly come up with a better product. Then again, the more likely course would be that they would keep the extra as profit.
If Charter didn't have to spend millions of dollars in legal fees trying to fight the ??AA in court, they could possibly come up with a better service. Is it likely? No.
To your point, the products and services must be "good enough" if Charter and the members of the ??AA are making money. Otherwise, they would make changes. They will, eventually.
I have to wonder about the ??AA's choice of targets, though. If you're setting yourself up to share files and your upload speed is capped at 128K, the ??AA shouldn't consider you much of an offender. (Not that you're any less morally wrong than someone with a 6 Mbps upstream connection.) You can share your files, but it's going to take a looooooong time for them to get anywhere.
The 128K upstream cap may be different in other areas served by Charter, but we have that in place where I live.
Unfortunately, the things I don't like about Charter are also true about the competition; particularly, the high prices and no a la carte programming selection.
I am happy that Charter (for the moment) is able to resist having to release information to the ??AA, but you can be sure that their motives have less to do with "standing up for our rights" and more to do with retaining customers and revenue.
who are capped at a miserable 128Kbps upload. Please. Nice to know this is where our entertainment dollars are going. How about producing/selling something worth watching for a change?!?
Lest we forget, Paul Allen, the major investor in SpaceShipOne, also owns a controlling interest in Charter.
What Paul giveth, Paul taketh away...particularly when that massive cable bill shows up in my box every month.
I would expect diesel to hit $3/gallon here in the US (and remain there) before we begin to see major biodiesel production. For example, the Corvallis Biodiesel Co-op charges $2.75/gallon to its members.
They also mention that this doesn't include the 48.4 cents in state and federal taxes for fuel in Oregon.
One key element that appears to be missing is the qualifications of the manager or management team. Project management is a different skill set from design or development.
It's not to say that a good designer or developer cannot be a good project manager; it's just a different job, like asking a plumber to rewire your house.
I believe we are in the last days of NASA as being much more than a delivery service for military space payloads. If it won't support the "War on Terrorism", support the "War on (some) Drugs", or "Save Social Security", it's not going to be a priority.
The real problem is getting the government the fsck out of the way.
What I find cool about Del.icio.us is the ability for people who will actually use the pages to classify them in ways that are useful to them and potentially to others.
Now we have cottage industries built on tweaking the registry, removing crapware and blocking popups. On top of that, we still have to ask M$ for permission to actually use their bloatware, even after we have already paid for it!
I guess we should be thankful M$ isn't running the Department of Homeland Security. We'd have a 32-bit color-code terror threat system and spyware redirecting us to web sites to buy duct tape and plastic sheeting.

I wanted something like this but it costs $800. And requires a prescription.
From what I've read, the Dalvik runtime is going away with Lollipop, and not all apps run correctly (at least yet) with the new ART runtime.
So assuming that Lollipop is even available for your device (and relatively bug-free), will all the applications you use run with ART?
As we know, a shiny new OS does you no good if it won't run your apps.

They're almost handing out guns on the plane...like the air marshal who got suspended for leaving his weapon in the lavatory.
Maybe as a first project, they can simulate Qwghlm for us.

YMMV outside the US, since these are US rules.

The ability to also merge tags in a search is particularly useful, such as in the case of a search for Python packages (http://del.icio.us/tag/python+packages) as opposed to Python movies (http://del.icio.us/tag/python+movies).
As the site gains more and more users, I have to wonder about the S/N ratio, although merging keywords in searches will help.
Hopefully some scumbag won't figure out a way to make his H3RB4L V14GR4 page come up no matter what keywords you enter.

Sigh.
Hmm...sounds a lot like Palladium to me.
