Funny how in that video of the John Knoll interview, you realize that one of the people filming is actually Guy Kawasaki. Well, at least that's funny to me anyway.
If I recall correctly, they haven't served peanuts on Air Canada flights for at least 4 or 5 years. I wonder if they could actually stop me from eating peanuts that I brought myself.
So how many of these 11 arc-minutes squares are there in the sky? And while you're at it, can you count the number of galaxies and multiply by.....
thx.
Step 1)
Recruit my fellow co-conspirators (in person).
Step 2)
Establish a set of strict protocols for communication. This might include drafting up a cypher system for anything written.
- never use the phone
- if you need to communicate long distances, only use ciphered craigslist ads
- ***DO NOT USE FACEBOOK***
I enjoyed the previous movie very much. I was hoping to enjoy the sequel as well.
I'm not quite sure about your comment about 'pre-judging a file based on another is extremely short-sighted.' If I don't like the work of a certain actor/director/whatever then why should I continue to see movies with them, hoping that one of them will appeal to me?
So if you liked the first Hellboy, why didn't you go see Pan's Labyrinth when it came out?
I am very picky as well with films and I usually read a multitude of published reviews to get meaningful insights and analysis. Film makers can be wildly inconsistent from project to project. You can't just look at someone's previous films to decide to see the next one, there are many variables which come into play that will affect the end product (budget, studio, script writer, director, actors, market).
An author writing a book and a director doing a film is very different. An author has almost complete control of what the end product will be, a director has much less as there are many more factors and stake holders to answer to. Many times, a director might not have the final say.
Oh what a shallow Hollywood world we live in... everything has to be spelled out and spoon fed. American consumers are so simple in their tastes: watered down artless drivel.
I don't suppose you've seen Terry Gilliam's "Brazil"--guess what, it has nothing to do with the country (which by the way is in South America, no, not the south of America, but actually ANOTHER continent entirely).
So do you actually read real reviews when deciding whether or not to see a film? Pre-judging a film based on another is extremely short-sighted.
FYI - RottenTomatoes rates Pan's Labyrinth at 96% Favourable.
A) Work with all documents remotely.
B) If you really need to have your documents locally, just get a Mac and use Bootcamp and set it up to have one of the partitions blank, or nearly blank (a "dummy" bootup). So when they ask you to show your documents, you can show them that its a blank laptop. I doubt that they would be able to tell tell that there are other partitions on there.
The important point is that you need to appease these customs people on the spot. DO NOT show any sort of defiance. Just play along and show them whatever they need to know in a calm and collected manner. Its very easy to fool them. Yes you can beat the system - it just takes a bit of planning.
...and don't forget to maybe make BETTER fucking music.
C'mon, "rock and roll" is so damn stale with the same three chords and the same tired instruments and lyrics.
What ever happened to progress?
oh wait!!
There's a whole universe of modern music out there by artists who are true to themselves and make no compromise as to what will appease the masses. Artists who make electronic music which is truly at the forefront of their respective genres. Such music can be found at

(where the artists actually own all of the music and get profit from every download purchased)
It would be fantastic if Gmail would offer this encryption as standard.
Right now you can get this as an extension http://www.langenhoven.com/code/emailencrypt/gmailencrypt.php ...but its a bit of a hassle to do this manually.
What if all the ISP's and mail hosts decided to use encryption? Would the government demand to have a back door?
If one were to to plan a terrorist attack, wouldn't it be safer to communicate using cyphers anyway? I always wondered how these plotters get caught. Were they not being careful in their communications. I mean how hard can it be to write a coded letter that just blended in with the rest of the noise?
Or, are the government able to really crack all these methods of manual encryption?
Someone should do a test and plan an attack as part of a performance art, just to see if they show up on the radar.
According to the article, these cats only look that way under ultraviolet light.
People often confuse FLUORESCENCE with PHOSPHORESCESCENCE. The latter is transmissive and the former is refective.
From Wiki:
Phosphorescence is a specific type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. Unlike fluorescence, a phosphorescent material does not immediately re-emit the radiation it absorbs. The slower time scales of the re-emission are associated with "forbidden" energy state transitions in quantum mechanics. As these transitions occur less often in certain materials, absorbed radiation may be re-emitted at a lower intensity for up to several hours.
In simpler terms, phosphorescence is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. This is in some cases the mechanism used for "glow-in-the-dark" materials which are "charged" by exposure to light. Unlike the relatively swift reactions in a common fluorescent tube, phosphorescent materials used for these materials absorb the energy and "store" it for a longer time as the subatomic reactions required to re-emit the light occur less often.

Frack. Nothing worse than slowing down to see the accident and the wreck has already been cleaned up. No blood stains, nothing. Lame.
I went through all 31 comments from the article and I didn't see any anonymous ones. Now you got me all curious...
Will PeerBlock/PeerGuardian still work? If not, what counter measures does one take? Also, does this apply to the USA only?
there were at least 2 or 3 other banks out there who offer these things called "checking accounts" to all kinds of businesses.

If you read the article, you will see that one doesn't really *own* it, as it locks you into a lease agreement, with early termination fees etc etc...

I also faintly recall an article in Scientific American in the 80's on this very subject.

I go to http://www.beatport.com/ and http://www.dancetracksdigital.com/ Both excellent sources for underground, cutting edge dance music (this means no crappy rock, hip hop etc).
This was the basis of an episode of Numb3rs season 2, where they reverse-calculated the movements of several gunmen in a school.
Can't wait til the hackers of the world try to hack into that one. I wonder what laws would apply? Are there any "space" laws per se?
