Well, the article says graphic artists use CRT screens. I suppose whoever came up with that idea is using a 386, or perhaps couldn't read what he was typing on his gigantic dark display. What was the motive behind all that? Sometimes I wonder about those/. writers.
Real: "Ha! We hacked your iPod purely for the good of the people! Now it's open for everyone to use! Incidentally, we're not revealing the DRM method." Apple: "You suck! I hate you! You know what? We'll see who gets the last laugh after we SCREW ALL OUR CUSTOMERS!"
Y'know if I spent my days debunking every sadistic anonymous moron who wants 'freedom' to be when everyone to suffers and dies at the hands of political masochists, where would I be? I can't reason with people who want to kill every person trapped under a government that will encage all who take a shit without its permission. Please keep in mind that you can go to Hell if you love supporting torture.
998 of these functions have one- or two-letter names
Google was always effective with minimalism, which makes sense when you've got all that code. Every letter is still a byte to download and process. So, the Google programmers are really smart with their variable/function names. Just look at the google front page - the id's and classes are all one or two letters, and the name of the text field is 'q'. Why do you need big variable names? They just take up space, are harder to memorize, and you're going to have to look back through the code to see what they do anyway.
I know my life is much easier when I use one-letter variables, although I don't know about one-letter functions. Maybe it partly IS the result of a designer application.
This post wins. Jon's best bet is to tell his brother in law to go sodomize himself, and maybe bring up that there are better things to do with your life than finding new ways to screw your kids and make their lives miserable in fun new ways. His bro wouldn't be too happy about hearing this (which will likely be taken out on the kids soon-after), but it beats being an accessory to all this.
The 'according to need' thing has pretty much no place in communism. That's just a gimmic to keep people duped, much like the 'people have a choice' concept of democracy. Communism is essentially where the state owns what you have whether you worked for it or not. American - and just about all - copyright is where you buy a CD or hard drive but the company still governs what you're allowed to do with it. The company owns what you paid for.
A system built on this principal means you get the bad aspects of communism in exchange for the good aspects of capitalism.
Looks like someone got hit by a troll with mod points. Any meta-mods out there? I know it's never going to stop Slashdot's system of ruining posts by supporting troll-mods, but at least it'll help a smidge.
Since when did federal law apply to corporations? Meh. It no longer surprises me to know we're living in a communist dictatorship where companies own everything you pay for.
Uh, no. If I - let's say - broke a window in my house, only a clueless moron would blame my roommate for it, and it remains that only a clueless moron would blame a bad script on somebody who didn't write a script. See, when somebody doesn't do something wrong, what does it mean? It means they didn't do something wrong. I really can't make it any simpler than that.
Good Fucking God! Tim Burton was just the fucking director! How much is someone supposed to do with a doomed script? Why doesn't anyone who saw Planet of the Apes know what a fucking writer is? It's absolutely astounding how clueless this crowd is.
Planet of the Apes was completely a writing failure. People really need to remember that a director can only do so much with a bad script. The writers in this case were Mark Rosenthal, William Broyles, and Lawrence KonnerScreenwriter.
Unfortunately the biggest name involved in a lackluster movie tends to take the blame. It's really not the first time Burton was caught up in that situation.
Okay, from the top: Tim Burton is a director; he is NOT the WRITER. Burton doesn't decide what Wonka acts like; Burton decides how he's portrayed here and there, but John August decides whether he's the sadist you want him to be. And you'd have to be the most clueless person on the face of the Earth to believe Burton wouldn't have the guts to make a character look like a sadist. That's gotta be the most naive thing I ever heard.
All the same goes with Big fish on those points.
So I just thought I'd enlighten you to the world of movies. Also, don't watch remakes if you hate remakes. Is this so hard to grasp?
Poor academic performance has always meant the person in question is not the mindless zombie they're expected to be. Computers, unfortunately, let people access information about nearly everything known to man. When they want to find out how a rocket is made, they can look it up. This is very bad for the school system, as knowledge faults a person's obedience to authority and makes them lose interest in learning useless half-correct information, so grades go down. The worst part is that computer screens nearly make paper obsolete (nearly) and typing lays waste to manuscript, so a person's ability to write lines for no reason is skewed.
Also, shouldn't people be a little more skeptical before they act on every single study there is?
Isn't it easier to just rent it? I mean, I just run out to Blockbuster and choose a game. The fact that someone else likes or dislikes it doesn't mean much.

I'll fill up my ice-cube tray!
Well it rocks so far. Tons of results.
Someone said other engines have had this before. Why hadn't I heard? I'm in hog Heaven right now.

You could just learn to program. Who's going to hire someone who can't remember a letter?
Compiled languages...
I was talking about Javascript. 1000 lines or so to be specific.
Sometimes I wonder why I read replies.

You sure are dumb. Your opinion is the equivalent of "I think 1+1=11 and that's my opinion so nobody dare correct me."
And the fact that somebody knows a lot more than you doesn't mean they know everything. Big difference.
Zareste - out.
I always wonder why I bother reading replies
Heh, it's funny cause I didn't mind the ending at all. I always like it when shows do really abstract stuff when it looks like it should be serious.
I'll bet they were just thinking "Ah fuck. This movie's screwed either way, let's just goof around with it."
Uh, no. If I - let's say - broke a window in my house, only a clueless moron would blame my roommate for it, and it remains that only a clueless moron would blame a bad script on somebody who didn't write a script.

Do you know anything about movies? At all?

Also cause we can't make a Lincoln-logs building without getting the death penalty for patent infringement. But hey, both work
Great. Now if we could just figure out how limestone came from tree bark and why the sun diverged from the Pacific...
conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and conspiracy to traffic in a device
:(
Funny how the government makes all sorts of conspiracy theories but when one of us points out the obvious, we're off to the nut house

Ha, I see. In that case I'd play the demo, but I guess those give limited results.
