Well, you're our first patient then...quick everyone set their computers to research internal "warm and fuzzy" feelings...could take a lot of CPU cycles to crack this one...
I agree, just because it is "Toy Story" doesn't mean it will make a ton of money - if it is poorly done and doesn't entertain kids AND adults, it will flop. If they can't get the original voice actors they are in trouble, and I don't expect Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are going to be cheap. They have their work cut out for them.
Pixar is now in the same position Lucas is in at Lucasfilm. Does Lucas have trouble finding anyone to distribute "Star Wars" films, no, 20th Century Fox is happy to do it, they know they will make lots of money. The same with Pixar, I would be AMAZED if they had any trouble finding a distributor.
I did, in the first paragraph he states to not judge the book by its cover, and then goes on to say the cover is not good...thus judging the books cover...get it?
Well, they still have the Patriot Act, at least for now, so if he wants to look at someone's email he still can. They just need to be someone he considers a person of interest.
I'd say they are pretty high. The FCC is clearly out of it's mandate here and I would say the odds of defeating it are good, not on the merits of violation of consumers rights, but that the FCC doesn't have the authority for Congress to do this.
"If you're a parent and your child is withdrawing, you might wonder if your kid is getting into pot or cocaine," says Hilarie Cash of Internet/Computer Addiction Services in Redmond, Wash. "The symptoms are very similar."

Guess the roaches will have to get them some dogs to spot those robotic infiltrators...
I agree it's not one of my better jokes, but then again coming up with funny stuff when talking about technical book reviews is an art unto itself.

Not a good idea, there is already way too much stuff up there floating around, a good way to take out future shuttles and satellites.
Kingda Ka? When did they start using pig latin to name rollercoasters?
The White House?
Definitely a gamer.
And you forgot: generally filled with a lot of hot air.

Mr. President, do you think the Constitution should be amended to allow Presidents to serve more than two terms?
If I remember correctly, it was CTSS (or a derivative there of) that RMS hacked on at MIT, so it's cool to see it still out there to be hacked on.
All that money spent on R&D, and this is what they come up with?
