Ok. Fair enough, have a pop at the licence fee, personally I'm happy to pay to recieve quality TV but it should prehaps be a choice. On the other hand:"propaganda masquerading as news"?
Come on! BBC news is excellent. Name me a better news provider.
Thing I never got was why not make your lightsaber 'blade' 40ft long and 6ft wide? Switch it on, wave it back and forth - end of duel.
As far as shooting them, Jedi's can deflect blaster rounds with their sabers right? What's wrong with a good, old fashioned shotgun? click-click BOOM. Deflect that.
I never got why thaey bothered aquiring the I, robot rights. I mean it's not like anyone who has read the book was fooled into thinking that it was going to be anything like it. All they did was piss off a bunch of Asimov fans (myself included) without bringing in any extra audience.
65536 rows each with 256 columns = ~16.8 million pieces of data. If you need to work on more individual data elements than this you shouldn't be working in excel anyway.
There's some thing much coooler about the idea of riding into space on top of a series of A-bomb explosions. Bit of a public relations nightmare of course but you can't have everything.
Someone is going to make an assload of money from internet film downloads eventually. What if google just decided that it should be them? They've got an obscene amount of cheap bandwidth and storage
Give everyone a couple of gig upload space, load the download pages with ad words and knuckle down for the court battle. They've got a lot of money at the moment- if they throw it all into a copyright law war chest things could get interesting.
Recently here in the UK there's been some car commercial (don't know which brand) with a car which transforms into a dancing transformers style robot. It looked so cool that I knew that someone had to exploit it for a movie, yay!
The old Crays used a freon like flurocarbon which was liquid at room temperature. As these are the same fluids which were proposed for liquid breathing systems (like in the the Abyss) your swimming pool should be able to support air-breathing life (hamsters?)never mind fish - so long as you oxygenated it of course. It's about $400 a gallon. An olympic sized pool contains ~2 million litres so it would cost ~160 million dollars to fill unfortunately.
Jesus. Fuel here (UK) is ~88 pence a litre at the moment (that's about $8.30 a gallon). I guess electricity would win in the cheapness stakes over here.
See, now this is why I hate april fools day. I have to actually read the damn article and actually think for myself before I can work out whether this is real or fake.

You should eat it with very strong coffee. I love it.
Pah. Most of the coders I know are stoners.

Ah ha! Enough time has passed that people can get away with jokes about the WTC

If thiis doesn't make it one of the worlds most important companies, what does?
The bandwidth's free.

One of the best case mods I've seen.
I thought the actors were wired and the boards just strapped to their feet?
The boards in Back to the Future were wooden props and the actors were suspended from wires.
If you didn't, did someone else?
That's badass. Another reason why I wish they'd hurry up and roll out global google maps.
I'm sure that the ISP's know that a lot of pople will do this so there's no way they'll stand for this.
It's a film by some swiss artists called "The way things go": http://www.frif.com/cat97/t-z/the_way_.html

Yep. My windows XP install is fine now I have a linux based firewall/router in between it and the 'net. Oh wait...
