I love Mel Brooks and tasteless comedy, but I found The Producers movie to be fucking DULL. A few good laughs and that's about it. What works on stage does not necessarily work on film. I probably would've enjoyed the stageplay, but the movie just plain sucked.
The guy didn't make these kids pick up the gun. However, you have to admit, that game was in very, VERY poor taste, and I question the integrity of the guy who made it. Hell, even I think so, and I love all kinds of horrid, tasteless humor. Like I said, he's not responsible for it, but geez, it's only a matter of time before Jack Thompson finds someone to sue him.
Yeah, it is like another shell: Mac OS X. Some of the UI implementations are such blatant ripoffs that it's not even funny. I'd like to ask these guys what it's like to use Apple as their R&D department, even when they're spending BILLIONS in their own R&D.
Maybe the Che Guevera reference was to show that only idiots who don't know what they're talking about use it, much like the twats who wear Che Guevera shirts?
No, it's not a porn site. It's a 70 year old lady who's been playing video games for 20 years now. www.oldgrandmahardcore.com. It's funny to watch her swear like a sailor when playing them.
I'm glad it made number one. I work in a computer lab as a student at a university, and Myspace is responsible for more browser hangs than everything else combined. That site is a festering cyst on the asshole of the internet.
Yahoo has the worst customer support I've ever seen and their services are utter shit. Yahoo Messenger was the buggiest piece of shit software I've ever used until they finally tossed OS X users the 3.0 beta after three fucking years of stagnation. Their games have some glaring bugs and oversights that are staggering to behold. Did they ever test them? Oh yeah, and I got locked out of my goddamned Yahoo email. One day, my password stopped working. My "secret question" didn't work either. After finally getting through to a human being after several canned emails, they basically said that they couldn't let me in. Great. Over two years of emails gone right down the drain, forever locked away. Thanks a lot, you bunch of fucking incompetent assholes. I guess there's no procedure in place for when their servers corrupt user information. I utterly loathe Yahoo and their braindead, flunkie codemonkeys.
Seriously, voting machines don't have to be complicated. A very simple, stripped down OS that gives you a screen where you punch in your info, then cast your vote. WOW! I cannot fathom how the fucking idiots who write this software can't just make them WORK. It's not an entire computer people, it's just a very simple kiosk. Christ, I could probably write some software that would do the job better than these boobs.
That guy is hit and miss. All the good he's done in film cannot atone for that atrocity known as Pearl Harbor. He also produced Kangaroo Jack and Coyote Ugly, both lesser sins. The guy doesn't always have the golden touch.
Yeah, but Motorola and Freescale had the very annoying tendency of NEVER GETTING ANYTHING DONE ON TIME. They'd announce a new gee-whiz chip...and it took a lot longer to get to market, and at lower clock speeds than promised. Then it takes an eternity to scale up. Case in point, the 74xx lineup, otherwise known as the G4. Hell, even the latest incarnation, the 7448, was supposed to ramp up production by October of last year. Yeah, kinda took 'em six months longer than that to start trickling out of the factory in any kind of volume. If someone wants to buy Freescale, here's hoping they FINALLY whip them into some kind of shape.
I'm guessing that Apple has seriously clamped down on Widget resource hogging, or at least they'd have better done so. I know I'm gonna have a lot more widgets now, and I don't want them chewing up a lot of resources in the background.
I'm just wondering how the hell you steer the thing. You know that a bunch of idiots wont be able to figure it out and will splatter like a loogie on the side of a building. That's probably the biggest reason the FAA is going to give a big nono to this.
Believe it or not, there ARE people out there who are interested in this kind of detailed history. Simply because you're not interested doesn't mean that others don't want to read it.
Our University has over 700 Macs and upgrades varying labs every few years. We were looking at replacing some old labs with Core Duo Minis, but this is actually cheaper as we don't have to buy LCD displays for them and get more and better features. No need to buy a new keyboard and mouse, too.
I use Azureus for BitTorrent and Slimewire if I ever need P2P. Both cost nothing. I'm on OS X. Some people will always try making a buck off of people who will pay for a nicer looking interface. Yeah, I know Apple allegories will be brought up on that, but I think there's a huge difference between all the functionality of an OS and a damn P2P/BT app.
It would be nice if it didn't constantly nag you to cough up $18 for a damn P2P/Bittorrent app. I'm sorry, but I don't care how pretty Acquisition is, I'm not going to cough up $18 when there are free apps that do the exact same damn thing. Maybe if it was less than $10 I might feel gracious enough to pay for the pretty interface.
No, but just the announcement and demonstration alone would make the stock price shoot through the roof. The price would eventually drop, but there are enough people who are paralyzed that could afford it. Money shouldn't be a concern? Well guess what, it is. That's the way the world works.
If you think that major drug/medical companies aren't researching this like mad, you're seriously deluded. Whoever is first to market with a cure for many types of paralysis (among many other ailments) will see their stock price skyrocket into the stratosphere, and they know it. Federal money isn't necessary if it's something a private company wants to do.
It was those darn consumers who didn't like utterly nutless cars that had much less oomph and range than regular gas powered vehicles. They died out because they sucked, plain and simple.
Bullshit. Apple doesn't make the music, they just distribute it. You can buy the same music from a huge number of other vendors. Now, if Sony were to make their movies Blu-Ray only and, on top of that, SONY Blu-Ray players only, then this analogy would work for them, but it doesn't stick for Apple. The guy used a very crappy analogy.

Uh, not really. I just used that as it's a particularly nasty image to describe an equally nasty website. Didn't know that Rush had an anal cyst.

Didn't they already do something like this at NIMH? Maybe they named the smartest one Nicodemus...
Overclock the hell out of them! You're running in an air cooler's wet dream!

Well, seeing as this is a moon, it could just be prairie doggin'. When it finally squeezed that bulge out, we're all gonna be fucked.
