Don't forget Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune-that-never-was. On the plus side, we would have gotten a Pink Floyd soundtrack. On the other hand, Salvador Dali as insane robotic emperor Shaddam IV with toilet as throne, and Jessica impregnated by Leto's severed testicle via a bull's horn in the corrida.
I don't think that is really the main the reason. If Microsoft wants to defend a charge of vicarious (i.e. they assisted others) infringement then they need only point to Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984) [wikipedia.org] aka "the Betamax case" and make the Res Ipsa Loquitur [wikipedia.org] (the matter speaks for itself) case that the Windows OS has "substantial non-infringing uses".
Great. Now I need a new fuse for my sarcasm-o-meter.
Chronicles of Riddick -- it's not as if Pitch Black was a particularly good or well-known movie. It wasn't even promoted as a sequel that way. Not saying Riddick was great, but it was better than Pitch Black.
Riddick, better than Pitch Black? How so? Pitch Black has a gritty, lo-fi feel similar to the initial Alien movies. Chronicles feels like Yugi-oh on acid.
I'm going to alienate Serenity fans, but Serenity just doesn't measure up to the average Firefly episode. Compare to Objects in Space or Out of Gas. Serenity's more on the level of Heart of Gold or The Train Job. Not stellar but better than The Message.
that's because Stephen Donaldson was brutally arrested during a civil protest,
Can't vouch for the validity of this
put in a cell with known rapists by the vindicative police , raped, beaten, contracted HIV,
Or that
and later died of AIDS.
However, I can state that this was not true as of June 2004, having met the man at Elohimfest, a Donaldson fan gathering.
He writes about rape to educate people on the horror of it.
Possibly, but I'm quite sure that's not his primary focus. Don't have the audio available, but I seem to recall Donaldson mentioning rape as a sort of shorthand, an abstraction the of worst-possible-deprivation of value of another human being.
Nooooobody expects spyware! Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise, and Internet Explorer exploits... Exploits and surprise. Our two weapons are surprise and Internet Explorer exploits... and uncaring users.. . Our *three* weapons are surprise, IE exploits, and uncaring users... and an almost fanatical devotion to an annoyance-marketing based business model. Our *four*... no... *Amongst* our weapons... Amongst our *weaponry*, are such elements as surprise, IE exploits... I'll come in again.

RE Dungeon Keeper-- check out Dwarf Fortress.
My all-time favourite phrase to enter into case notes?
"massive pyrotechnic failure"
Have used it twice, at different workplaces.

I'm with you on Buffy and Matrix tho.
I'd take it over WinME any day
Good point. And I'm not even British...
8*10^4 * 2.5*10^5 = 2*10^10. Twenty trillion dollars.
cha-ching!

The trick with qttask.exe is that you've got to rename the executable. qttask.exe.bak or the like.
Even with Sysinternals' ProceXP, Spybot, Ad-Aware, BHODaemon, Hijackthis, ect, I can't find the damn thing's entry point.
As far as Real goes, I'd recommend Real Alternative instead.
I think... I hope, you meant "figuratively".
Replying to cancel my mis-mod...
This made me chortle.
