I think anyone watching the movies for the first time should watch them in the order IV, V, VI, I, II, III. However, after the initial watching, the order from I-VI is the best. This way, you preserve the surprises, but can maintain the chronology after that. I see the sexogent..sexology..sexlogy..sexogy.......six-part series to be a story meant to be a trilogy (IV-VI) and a set of back-story you watch later (I-III).
Would you date a girl that would likely require you to move into her 12x10 bedroom with cinderella sheets, n'sync posters, barbies on the shelves and her nutty parents across the hallway?
Are you trying to pull that "nerds and Trekkies are pedophiles" crap again?
Thanks for posting that. My girlfriend and I were just discussing where we should move after I finish law school and she finishes medical school: England, Canada, Australia or New Zealand or should I do my civic duty to the US and fight to save it. Between the two of us, we speak 6 languages. Unfortunately, the only language that overlaps between us is English, leaving limited locations to set up a family.
We concluded that either we stay, and I use my legal education to try to save the US, or we punk out and try to immigrate to Canada based on her 1337 d0ct0r skillz ("Skilled Worker Class Immigration" I believe it is).
He wasn't defining freedom of all. The great grand-parent said that America is "the definition of a police state". The GP said that if the US was the definition of a police state, then what would that make North Korea?
No, the GP was making the point that people choose not to see the movie in theaters, and instead wait for the DVD. I do this for all but the movies that basically require a great sound and video system to enjoy it fully (read: Gladiator, Matrix).
To be fair, Japanese CDs run around 10 dollars more per CD than in the US at retail. If you go to Tower Records in the US, you should expect to pay 18-20 bucks a CD or so. If you go to Disk Union in Japan, expect to pay 25-30. Asian Kung Fu Generation's album Sol-Fa came out at around 25 bucks, if I recall. It's been out for months and is still expensive! In the US, I think the price would have dropped a couple of bucks already. Utada Hikaru's English album was running around 30 bucks, I think, when it came out in Japan. This is why CD rental shops are so popular in Japan, I'd wager.
That being said, I am willing to shell out a few more bucks to get a sweet CD insert with nudie pics of Momusu (just kidding) rather than a crappy insert made of grade Q paper of Goo Goo Dolls in the US.
That reminds me, I saw a Sno CD (that white rapper from Canada) in Drama the other day, and thought about buying it (100 yen? Why the heck not?) just to relive my days of listening to "Informer", and pretending I knew the lyrics. Japan is the best place to buy old music from America. Hell, it's the best place to get ANYthing American that is vintage. I've seen Elton John records in pristine condition for about 5 dollars and 50s albums (think: Buddy Holly) for even less! Not to mention X-Files trading cards and Smurf action figures (the best is "Black Smurf", who is...well...a black smurf;)
By "nobody", I can only assume you mean "everybody". Seeing as how 80% or more of the computer users in the US are Windows users, they will upgrade, and willingly accept protection from spam and viruses. Furthermore, "if you pirate software you are a terrorist". Who wants to be associated with terrorists? No one. It's simple: You either like Trusted Computing, or you Hate America. Which are you?
Because you aren't paying for the system when you buy it. You get a great deal in the hopes that you will shell out huge bucks for games. It's called a "loss leader", and the freaking poster of the article mentioned it in the summary.
I wonder now... What will people who were Intel haters AND Apple fanboys say now on/.? I mean, it seems that many of the same people here fellate AMD and Apple in the same postings. What to do? What to do?
Note for the humor impaired: this posting meant to be ironical;)
This is not true in the countries that signed the Berne Convention on copyright (ie nearly every country on Earth). Copyright is automatically conferred unless explicitly rejected by the creator.
However, perhaps you meant to say that your ability to assert copyright is at risk if you cannot produce proof that you have had a hand in the creation of the work.
But there are teams from Canada! And what's up with calling the NBA the "National Basketball Association" when Canadian teams are in the league as well; is the NBA trying to imply that Canada is the 51st state?
eminem is the first serious white rapper I can think of
What about Beastie Boys? And you think "Informer" (Sno) is any more "serious rap" than "Ice Ice Baby". I can buy Sno's album in Japan for under 1 dollar. That is not the sign of a good artist.
Considering it is their parents' money they are spending, I think the parents have a right to know. If you are seriously trying to argue that parents don't have a right to tell their kids what to do, I hope you never have kids. They will probably grow up to shoot up their school because daddy never told them they shouldn't. And yes, I really do mean that. I blame weak parents for nearly every societal woe today. And by weak, I also include parents who were overly harsh (and hence, weak, or ineffectual, parents).
Woah, where did that "when no one is looking" part come from? And if you remove that one bit from your analogy, then it is obvious that the guys did nothing wrong. They went to a URL using their username/pass (IIRC from the article a few months back).
How is the parent's analogy horrible? It meets the criterion that if you know the applicant's vital information, you can access his status. This is the only criterion needed to be matched in an analogy.
Opening up a file cabinet entails going through someone else's property. However, if you can access something with a URL involving your own name/pass combination, then it is exactly the same as having the data posted in a public place, requiring knowledge of the applicant's data before you can discern their status.
Imagine if the email from their friends had said "Your admission status is kept in the filing cabinet in room 306 of the admissions office, and the guy who works in that office leaves the door unlocked when he eats lunch at noon every day."
No, the correct analogy is Imagine if the email from their friends had said "Your admission status is posted in the hall of the Natural Sciences building, indexed by SSN".
It's Russian. It says something like [...] problem in the instrument room with the connection of tablet to the projector... So it was not the fault of Microsoft:) and on and on the writer goes about the incident.

Yes, and he said that in his post:
The Soviets solved the problem another way: They used a pencil. The story turns out to be (mostly) urban legend, but the lesson holds true.

No, the Electoral College prevents "Florida 2000" from happening to the entire country.

SHUT THE FUCK UP, PLATYPUS!
I don't think so. Read especially the part about how "AMD eagerly signed on."

I've been meaning to ask: what does your sig refer to? It somehow reminds me of Eliza, but I'm probably just on weed.
