Not to mention he wasn't the genius behind Apple. Steve Wozniak was. In fact in numerous interviews about all Steve Jobs had a hand in in actually designing the original Apple computers was insisting that the power supply be a certain color for aesthetics. The real work was done by a man whom half the nation probably has no idea exists.
That's the whole point behind the Comedian though. For instance, in the US (not to bash it, or start debating politics, just using my own nation as an example), our government subjugates other nations, supports guerrilla fighters who rape, murder, kill and steal (and not always in that order). We deprive other people of their right to have democratically elected governments. We have committed genocide against the natives of our land. But we paint ourselves as the goodguys, and heroes using blood for the paint. Every time one of our soldiers kills "the enemy" they're still killing another human being, who likewise will be considered a hero by their side. It's all a pathetic farce. And the comedian was a parody of it. He knew that we're just apes attacking other apes around the obelisk. Such a cool character.
I don't know, they did it in inception. I mean, we're in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream! We can't get kicked out here, we're at the 234234th layer of dreams! We'll go to dream limbo! (Still bitter about that movie.)
Why? AFAIK there's never anything shown in the comic with the female anatomy outside of some booby-calendar's in the car garage. It's been awhile since I've read through them though.
I'd have to disagree to an extent. Watchmen stuck about as close as they could to the comic, and the comics themselves are works of art. I understand changing the catastrophe in the end, because, c'mon, I don't think people can really understand a giant space squid of doom (it would be considered jumping the shark). But big booms make sense. I don't disagree that Dark Knight wasn't fantastic, because it was effing awesome and possibly one of the best superhero movies of all time. However I wouldn't say that it was 10x better. The story was just as good, and dark knight did change a lot of fundamental parts of the comic to suit the gritty nature of the movie (the creation of the joker, for example).
As an adult, with years of nonstop data input you are able to do this. With literally years of nonstop data input, who knows what machine learning could yield. Remember, children are incapable of abstract thought up until at least age 2, and in some cases, much later. There are well defined tiers of mental development describing what growing humans can and cannot do. Its not that the machine is anything different from you, if anything, its starved of data.
A select few of us tend to sharpen ours. Having been several meters away from exploding ordnance, I can appreciate the comedy of life itself. When a gust of wind is all that separates you from potential death, little shit like people throwing rocks at each other is absolutely hilarious.
Thats a silly reason, every living thing dies. It is an ultimate, incircumventable fact. Losing your sense of humor because death is involved is like losing your sense of humor because 1+1=2, or because Newton's laws exist.
Does that include infrastructure? For instance, I work at a carrier and work on phone systems, and my job title is engineer. Lots of the citizenry is going to be using my work daily. For things like 911 calls. But i'm not a PE. So can I get arrested?
If he gets stuck with the misdemeanor I would love to see the landslide of cases like this following. Then again, i think any judge could see the dangerously slippery slope.
You're correct, except a lot of that data would be lost due to flow control and reliability. While in a normal download that isn't that big of a deal, over the course of a month I imagine a large number of ACK packets, lost packets, sliding windows, etc will bring that number down quite a bit. And if you're a comcast customer, RST packets too:)
Funny enough I submitted this very idea to google about a year ago. I submitted it as a project improvement since its damn near impossible to find an idea submission avenue. I got the idea after using Google street view to take a virtual tour of the Pompeii ruins (I highly recommend checking them out, super cool). So, I sent in a suggestion that they could do something similar with museums around the world, thus allowing people to visit exhibits they may never get to see face to face. I wonder if my submission helped spur on the idea? I never got any kind of response. I'm not really worried about money, I'd just like to know if my suggestion actually gained traction, or if there were a ton of other submissions or what. I can't wait to see how far they take it. I'd love to see it extended to other places. Super cool:)
I doubt it. All of these are administrative overhead, and NOT something an average user would care about. Hell, I'm surprised AT&T hasn't been sued because of SYN, SYN/ACK, and ACK packets yet which don't actually bear any data. And I don't expect Joe-enduser to understand. If he did, I wouldn't have a job. But if we don't expect him to understand it, why should we expect to be able to charge him for it?
I disagree that this is a BS lawsuit. If the user is not interacting with the phone at all, and the user is getting billed purely because of data that the phone is using in the background (not due to user interaction) AT&T should be aware of this. Even if its administrative overhead, the fact is the user isn't generating it and so they shouldn't be billed for it. If they are going to be billed, there should be a disclosure at purchase time stating "this phone will generate X bytes of data every N minutes even without user interaction, so be prepared to see that on your bill."
I understand that. However realistically he most likely still holds more sway in the country than Medvedev does out of sheer popularity. I stated that I wish he were our president because I feel someone who actually has had to work in the seedy underbelly of intelligence gathering as well as served faithfully in the military may actually make a far better president in the USA than a bunch of overprivilaged, pampered frat-boys.
More precisely its a conflict between Russia and separatists in an area that Russia has long tried (sometimes occasionally) to occupy. That the separatists happen to be largely Muslim is inconsequential. educate yourself.
Agreed. There's time for speculation in the future. For now hang your head a moment for the people who were needlessly killed because of the feud between a couple of powerful people. On the upside, Putin will probably execute anyone involved with his bare hands... wish he was our president.
You make whoever you present it to sign an NDA, which you get notarized before you ever speak to them. It's what I've done whenever I've approached a 3rd party with any of my ideas. It takes a day to do and is totally worth it.
Not always. For instance, look at the Vioxx cases. Because of them, pharmaceutical company backed peer-review journals have largely been outed and debunked. A number of companies created their own peer reviewed journals so that they could basically declare all of their research had been peer-reviewed when it really hadn't been. For the most part though I do agree with you.

Man, i may dump my savings into apple stock once it bottoms out after his death. There's going to be a massive unloading, we all know it.

Not always. Fifth Element has titties not once, but twice. And a PG-13 rating. Very nice Milla Jovovich titties. Mmmmm.

Obviously you've never babysat a child. You do realize that there are these things called "spite" and "arrogance" which teenagers have in spades.

I'll raise a beer to that.

I personally think its funny. In poor taste yes, but still funny.

hehe, I tittered.

Just I wanted, more exposure to radiation! YAYAYAYAY!
