Seriously, what ever happened to the Ed Wood/Roger Corman school of directing? The last really really great, lovingly trashy film I saw was Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers", and that was far too long ago.

Captain America only works in the context of World War II in Europe. His only "real" enemy was the Red Skull, who was Nazism personified. You have to think of "Cap" as a historical artifact.
If you haven't seen David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. you haven't lived. This turkey leaves "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in the dust as the "worst film ever made". Next time SciFi Channel runs it, make a point of it. You'll have more fun having a do-it-yourself MST3000 than words can describe.
Actually, it was the first killer app. Accountants who knew nothing about computers would go in and buy VisiCalc, and "oh yeah, by the way, an Apple ][ to run it on". Other groundbreaking programs like Electric Pencil and Vulcan ran a distant second.
Funny you should mention that. The third link on the FEMA.gov "Volunteer or Make a Donation" page, under "Donate Cash", just happens to be Operation Blessing, who's chairman is "MG Robertson," is none other than the Rev. Pat - Marion
Gordon Robertson is his real name - while Pat's wife DeDe is vice president and son Gordon Robertson is also on the board.
I feel certain that 100% of any and all donations will go directly to New Orleans.
I can see you'd prefer to believe your own Republican "Psst! Hey guess what" big-lie psuedo-science babble, but if it's proof you want, you could start
here, or here, or here, or even here. But I'm sure you don't wanna get bogged down by facts.
Oh - and Darwin was right, too - except in your case.
Nevertheless, three quarters of the carbon dioxide that has been pumped into the atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution is still there. Sooner or later, the chickens will come home to roost.
You're right. What Snopes says is that the exam "demonstrates a shocking decline in educational standards" is "false". The exam presented is the eighth-grade final exam from 1895 from Salina, Kansas. Snopes' argument is that unless you're (recently) steeped in the subject matter, you couldn't pass the test - which is true enough - I know I couldn't pass one of my daughter's geometry exams, but I once could have.
OK, so two years ago, Linux on Itanium (kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth, dosen't it?) was cost-effective against other big-iron Unix implementations, and today that's no longer the case. Meaning that Sun/Solaris, IBM/AIX, or HP/HP-UX on their own platforms have decided they want the business and have come down enough in price (in a REALLY flat market) to be competitive today. Can't say I'm blown away by the news.
I'm curious how tightly/predominantly this is going to be bundled into Longhorn. I suspect that Microsoft VoIP on the desktop is one of the features that will ship on time.
Either way, given that WebLogic and WebSphere cost a fortune, JBoss is the only "real" app-server that can be had for no dollars. It's good to have a cookbook out there, so the do-it-yourselfers can learn how to write for an app-server on their own. Plus, the low-budget crowd can put up a real app-server. If JBoss won't scale to the traffic and you have to buy one of the big boys, well, that's a good problem to have.

That's right, goddamnit. If it didn't happen in my basement: it didn't happen!
Sure. It's called "Trusted Computing". It's another name for "Disney Rights Management". I hope you enjoy getting what you're wishing for.

OK, I got the male and female pink unicorns on the boat. Tell those giraffe herders to hurry up! The water's rising!

Thanks for the terriffic link! Great stuff!
I suppose this means I'm not going to make any money with my floppy-disc car key patent.

Doesn't it hurt when your knee jerks like that?
Dang! I said "wrong". After all, I had a 50% chance of being right ;-)

To say I don't trust "Trusted Computing".

Nah, Microsoft Office was "dumped in the proverbial ocean" because Teddy was driving.

Sure there are: virus writers, phishers, identity thieves, etc.
Uhhh, actually, you are

Sounds tasty, but I still think I'd prefer him slow-roasted on a spit.
