Most viewers in the USA look at actors much more than directors, screenplay writers, or studios in picking a film. It's not world wide..
My experience tells me this is so because film studios outside California don't seem to as massive a budget for good talent. There are less good movies floating around, so you have to look harder to get your money's worth. I found myself starting to pay attention to the credits when I was living in France, as there are a lot more flops that make it into the cinema, e.g. super drab situational non-drama, etc. (Not an entirely bad form, as Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain was a really well done situational non-drama)
Personally I had no problem, but I bought old refurbished hardware. Find yourself an old WinTV capture card, those are well supported. Just apt-get install tvtime, and away you go.

Talk to dillo, she's schfifty-schfive, she looks like my daweg, but she gets it owwwn furious like, main.

You ohbviously haven't tried RATPOISON. That shit knocks your socks off, and you didn't take off your shoes, thats like schwoah and schweaty feet, schit main.
Implementing it corporate wide would be the real trick...
Actually, once you got it working, deploying it corporate-wide would be trivial. Simply copy or symlink the working.wine directory and the shortcuts to all your users. Its the "you need to save all your documents to Z:\, which is really your/home/user directory, yada yada" which is the trick.
Also, you'd be breaking the license agreement (only install on Windows), even though its requirements could be shot down in court, cause who wants to go to court with Microsoft?
There is no way I would ever consider teaching, I wouldn't put up with those brats.
Actually, I think you have your solution right there - dump the brats. Lets face it, keeping some kids on in the school system is a lose-lose situation. We're just beating into their heads that they're stupid, even if they just aren't academic thinkers. And, *suprisingly*, they hate it with a passion and rebel. Meanwhile, money gets spent to keep this poisonous situation in the classroom. Regular students get disrupted, teachers get driven insane, drugs become an issue, etc.
School should be a an honor and a privilege, not a prison sentence.
I agree, who wants to put up with the stoner stigma of Sponge Bob?;)
BTW, for the uninitiated, if someone who is not a slobbering little brat says they like Sponge Bob, you can be assured with 99.9% confidence they are a gigantic stoner. If you are in the 0.1% [the transitional period], well, because you are a stoner kind of person by definition, its just a matter of time before you join the rest.:D
Actually, I doubt it is a troll, it looks like an attempt at brassonry.

Right now K doesn't stand for anything, its just the "K Desktop Environment".
However, it started out as the Kool Desktop Environment. Read the 1996 project announcement on usenet, and the interesting replies.
Hehe I used that "feature" a lot too. I remember when they found out about that and disabled it. Of course, there was a workaround - camp on their 1-800 "find me a local dialup station", and use the internet from there. It maxed out at 2400 baud when 14.4 was in vogue, but hey it was free:)
This is backwards thinking along the lines of "I have to buy food to keep myself alive to experience the internet."
While these are true, eating food regularly and owning a computer are reasonable enough goals for their own sake, without any consideration of internet browsers.
You must find a regular source of food before the thought of computers will enter your head (try skipping food for a week and you'll know what I mean.) You must find a regular source of computing power before the thought of platform and internet browser choice will enter your head.
Seriously though, there is no getting past the Microsoft mentality for many folks. These are the same people that eat nothing but hot dogs and cheese sandwiches and complain about their poor health; marry and divorce the same kind of person over and again, even though they should know they aren't compatible with "their type"; refuse to seize a great career opportunity, but continue to bitch about their shitty jobs; vote for the entrenched Republicans or Democrats (I can't tell the difference anymore, its like Football nowadays), and then complain about typical career politician shenanigans.
There's an old saying that I heard awhile back, it goes like: Give the average shmoe a choice - in one hand, a silver plater encrusted with diamonds, and piled with gold; in the other hand, a paper plate full of shit. They'll take the paper plate full of shit, eat it, and come back for seconds.
I don't pretend to understand, but whatever makes you happy, right?:)
How much would you charge per week to drive some cases of coke to soldiers for Haliburton, knowing that chances are you'll be dead within a year of working there.
Personally, I'd accept $10,000/wk, but only with a military or mercenary escort.
You have to pay a lot to get someone to be a supply line for the military, because you might as well have a gigantic "bomb me please" sign on all sides written in Arabic.
Not quite, but you can bet that elementary school teachers are going to parade this article around to their students. They have now found their poster-child 10 year old girl who actually gives a shit about technology.

In any case, have you ever been interviewed? Were you perfectly coherent throughout? Say no.
Well, now that I think of it, there was one interview that went perfectly...the one that got me a summer stock job.
Manager: Are you willing to throw around 20-80 lb boxes for 35 hours a week?
Me: Yeah
Manager: Can you come in at 4 AM?
Me: Yeah Manager: Alright, if your ok with $7.50/hr you're hired.
Me: OK

If we can't say boxen for Linux boxes, then we can't say free software is libre?
On Windows, oh yes, you can. I've gotten into many computers on the university network with Adminstrator:[blank]. Haven't tried on Linux.
