I wonder if Hayden Christensen isn't actually a good actor, but he was following some crappy direction... he may surprise with some future, non-Lucas stuff. But I could be wrong. Very very wrong...
It's a liability issue, people

I think we can all agree this is silly. TFA makes it to be a liability issue. So though it may be silly to try to protect kids from simple games, it's worse having to do it because someone could sue and possibly win substantial money for what we know are scrapes and bruses and such that are a part of childhood.
We have had a Vice-President who did not divest himself of his interests to Big Oil. He used his position to setup a sale of federal land to the company whose stock he owned. It was Al Gore.
How about corruption? How about Gore having money laundered through chinese monks for the oh-so-pure Democrats? Gore's fundraiser, Maria Hsia, was conviced on all counts.
Speaking of stealing elections, why is that the Democrats are the ones who push to ease registration (such as "motor voter") and yet oppose any Republican attempts to require people at the polls to actually present identification to prove that they are who they claim to be? Photo id needed at Blockbuster, but we'll take your word at the polls!
hmm destroying the world? Maybe that means something like voting against Kyoto? the 95 votes against it in the Senate would suggest that there are some democrats out to destroy the world too. Rove must have waterboarded them...
It wasn't long ago when the introduction of the PC to the workplace was putting a lot of people out of work. Where will typists find a job? What about the typerwriter salesmen?
The pace of innovation is speeding up so rapidly that there will be opportunities in 20-50 years that we don't recognize now. If you do recognize them, well, it's your chance to become rich.
Ok. I was warned it was bad but I feel a little part of my life has been torn out of my chest. I guess I assumed it was good bad... but now that I re-read your post, you never made such a promise.... This is so bad as to give bad videos a worse name... It could only be thought of as creative by the progenetors of clippy(tm). This is to video entertainment what windows ME is to operating systems.
First thing is for those who feel such ritgeous indignation about this to examine their reaction to the carnavore program under Clinton. If you were just as outraged then, good for you.
Let's look at the current situation. Say somewhere abroad we capture a laptop of one of the bad guys who is planning a nasty attack in the United States. The laptop has the numbers of the people he has been calling in the states. Clearly there is the need to be able to identify who the guy was talking to here quickly. There is no wiretapping.
Amen to that. Not to mention that I don't want to run a space heater in the middle of summer! I would sacrifice speed for coolness and quiet, but if I didn't have to, that would be even better.
That is funny, but there is a real answer. People like those in the special forces and pilots and such get as part of their training treated to worse things than anyone at Gitmo suffers.
I will be even *more* nerdish by responsing to my own post... I think your taxonomy reflects how the erstwhile regional difference in usage has pretty much evaporated...
Very well done, I'd say. But being a geek (or should I say nerd), I have to inject a trivial fact, though no one asked me to. It is this: there was back in the day a regional difference between nerd and geek. On the west coast, the geek was the cooler of the two, whereas on the east coast it was the other way around. Thus, slashdot is news for nerds, revealing that its roots are east.
The way this will be used by pythonistas is not to convert 13,412 lines of code blindly in to C++. Rather, it provides a pythonic way of getting some speed benefit for those parts of the program that need it and that code will also be accessable to C++ programs as an added benefit.
When companies want to curry favor with Microsoft and become a Microsoft Certified Partner, they need to have a certain number of MCSEs on staff. In making other deals, Microsoft sometimes asks for a greater number of MCSEs.
So, yes, there is a case when a company (particularly a start up) might have a reason to prefer MCSEs.
Whether or not you should cultivate a relationship with such companies is left as an exercise for the reader.
By the way, when I was getting started in Linux years ago, I was in Fry's trying to pick a network card that would work with Linux. Of course the Fry's guy had no idea. A fellow customer stepped up and said, "Most of these should work. They have Linux drivers. I wrote them." Even though I was a noob, I knew enough to know who he was.
While I am going on this way...
I saw Linus outside of home depot with his kids and wife. She saw me see him and stand there kind of slack jawed for a moment while I wondered... is that someone I know.... is that Him? and she knew... yep another Linux geek....
Slashdot Mirror
THE CAKE IS A LIE!
Every time a user scraps Linux and goes back to Windows, the baby Jesus cries.
Listened to some of your music. Good stuff! Inspires me to get out the old guitar again ...

Better make that, don't read Slashdot article about not googling
Bravo. very well done

Does it run in Emacs?

Of course not. For that you would need a best of bread enterprise solution with lots of buy in from those who will take ownership to solution flexibly
