Slate had a recent article about how they have buried this site in thier page and no longer link to it from thier home page.
If a suck-ass movie like Hulk gets distributed early and the box results tank because everyone learned early how bad it was, then the 'pirate' should get a medal for saving the American public billions of dollars!
Remember that old Sega holographic game "Time Traveller"? I wonder if Nintendo will use something similar.

It needed no glasses, but only played the scenes on the laserdisc. I bet such data could be generated on-the-fly today.
Well, the article that grandparent linked to about the swimmer who made it says he used an electromagnetic device to produce a 25ft sea-creature repelling sphere.
The story reminded me of http://verizoneatspoop.com/. Anyone know what happened to this archive of grievances by pissed of verizon victims? It was around for years and I'm pretty sure I looked at it as late as 6-8 months ago. Now it denies access.
As Jefferson wrote of copyright, "Its peculiar
character, too, is that no one possesses the less,
because every other possesses the whole of it. He
who receives an idea from me, receives instruction
himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his
taper at mine, receives light without darkening me."
everything in relativity seems to be relative to your frame of reference. So, the clock that was whirling around space at high speed, from its own perspective it is standing still and we, earth, the other clock is the one moving fast. So when they come together again, not only do you see that the returning clock has slowed, but it sees that you have slowed. Someone please explain that, cuz that has always been were I said the theory has to be wrong.
No matter how fast we might be able to annihilate North Korea, they still have thousands of artillery pieces aimed at Seoul right now. There is no way we could get all of them before they pulled the trigger. This would really ruin not just Seoul, but our whole relations with South Korea, I think.
Maybe school science experiments need to focus more on thier historical purpose... warfare. Teach the nerds to build tasers, laser dazzlers, and other devices beyond the brain power of football addled jocks.
Ummm... although I really hate to be in a position defending M$ product (does kinda turn the stomach), I think you are incorrect. Most Windows services can be controlled or disabled from services.msc
I agree with Grandparent. Though MS is evil, thier developement tools are pretty good. I'm still at a "first hit free" MS school, but have some experience with linux tools. Maybe I have just never seen the "good" linux tools, but I love working with Visual Studio.
I have had a lot of skeleton code inserted into my projects by the software and never had any trouble with it like you describe.
As to 1989... just what was the state of Linux/Unix IDE's back then?
I think the reason people disagree on the intelligence of cats is two-fold.
First, some cats are much smarter than others. They really have a wide variety of personalities and cognitive abilities. As a cat owner most of my life, I have had both very smart and bafflingly stupid cats. Most are pretty bright, tho.
Second, unless you have a close relationship with the cat in question it will not care about you one whit, except perhaps to stay out of your way and you'll likely never realize it's mental capacities because unlike a dog seeking approval the cat does not desire to impress you.
One of my cats seems quite smart in her ability to commmunicate weather she wants food, to go out, to play, to be petted. She sits and stares at me till i ask, "You wanna go out?" Stares. "You want food?" Stares. "You want to play?" MEOW! It's kinda cool.
So mebbe the smaller brain volume limits its potential, but the "wiring" should follow human patterns. Concievably, this could lead to more advanced thought than most mice are capable of. Of course, without proper education it might be difficult to tell the mouse intellect from a completely uneducated human mind.
Imagine having human-like thoughts but being unable to talk. Or lacking mouse survival instincts and getting picked on by the other lab mice.
Then it would need a built in scanner to scan the top of the original media before printing it on the ripped disc. Sounds perfect for a niche market like... mebbe china?

Am I wrong or would anything that explodes be a pretty useless weapon in a vacuum. Can you have a shock wave with no medium?
There is a shell extension (for Windows) to integrate your gmail account as a drive. http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm

Ya, but 10 million, billion billionths is 10e-24, right?
Well, they could be off by orders of magnitude, and still have the time nailed to within one second... how precise do you want?
And hot, let me tell ya, even give or take a factor of a million, it's still waaay to hot to touch.
Big numbers make people go all mushy in the head cuz they just can't conceive what they are describing.

That's what confidentiality clauses are for.

I bet the .NET download comes from M$'s servers. HAHA!

hmmm.... mebbe they do come down and we all ARE the Hulk.... ever see pictures of skinny, malnourished, gray aliens?
We must scare the hell outta them.

Has everyone forgotten what the terms "first-world" and "third-world" and the seldom used "second-world" really refer to?
The terms are leftovers from the cold war.
First-World countries are capitalist.
Second-World countries are communist.
Third-World countries are all other.
So, if the terms still have any meaning, NK is definitely Second-World.

Which means stuff like changing user (the Windows equivalent of "su") is hard and irritating to pull off
Well, if you enable "fast user switching", you don't even need to log off to log on another user temporarily.

Because the pigs are some of the most habitual law breakers around? Not to mebtion the only profession that gets to shoot civillians.
Mod that guy up.
