They had a sketch about the "sequel" to Soylent Green, Soylent Green 2, with Phil Hartman:
"Soylent green is STILL made out of people, . . . they didn't change the recipe like they said they were going to! It's still PEOPLE! " - Phil Hartman as Charleton Heston in the never-before-seen "Soylent Green 2".
Hollywood is going through a transition and struggling to find its next niche.
Maybe they could go back to being creative...that seemed to work well. It's the boatload of sequels (often sequels of pseudo-flops) and remakes that's killing the industry. Sure, they want to guarantee a profit, but relying on sequels usually doesn't work, with few exceptions.
It sounds like one of many tutorials that are readily available on the internet. I find it much easier to learn by example, but even those that prefer this method can find a tutorial to suit their needs. Actually coding is the only way to really learn the language and its nuances anyways. It seems like a book would be pointless given the vast amount of information available online, and the speed with which the latest information (as new versions are released) could appear online versus in a book.
While they say more positive reviews are kept than negative ones, there can be an explanation. Positive product reviews tend to analyze the product...not a lot of people posting a review say something simple like "It's great!". On the other hand, negative ones tend to just say "this sucks" or something to that effect. It can be because someone's just spamming or something. So if messages are removed on the basis of being too vague or critical without insight, more negative reviews will get rejected. At least that's my guess.
Can they really stop you from talking with your cubicle neighbor on the bus home, if they can't even stop you from reading Slashdot while on the clock?
The poll commenting had been having problems a while before (I think a few days) the moderation problem. Also, wouldn't article comments also be affected? Still, that's the best explanation I've seen so far:)
Yeah, it seems like since sometime yesterday afternoon, nothing can be modded (up or down). And the poll comments are still broken. Slashdot's coming apart at the seams!

Dear plarsen,
Send me a list of your friends names and addresses, and I will get the problem resolved immediately.

At this rate you'll have to by 3 versions of each of the 3 consoles before you retire...and possibly more!

So how much has he actually lost, and how has he been beating this?
He used to weigh 600 pounds. Now he's normal weight.
It seems that the market is fucked up in such a way that the only thing companies can come with are SEQUELS.
:)
Was that the video game market, or the movie industry you were describing?
Then what happens when one of the "sites you want" wants to update their cookie?
Its obvious to anyone who listens
In other words, it's obvious to anyone but the RIAA.
What a coincidence. The same "random" thought can be found here from a similar article just a few days back.
Moving the plugins into the optional folder creates dramatic speedup in start time. See here
This isn't Windows!
Unsurprisingly, that scale covers all possible topics of conversation (not just Slashdot topics)
And of course I neglected to mention for (approximately) the same information:
Learning online $0
Using the book: $30

it's be an SBC-Yahoo DSL monopoly. SBC's not the only one benefitting.

Think of it as the chance is .0000000000001% * X, if X->inf, then we get, eventually, 1.
Actually, that'd be infinity. But really it's not infinite, just really, really large, so your argument still holds.
the motherboard does indeed have an Infineon Trusted Platform Module [infineon.com] controller right on the motherboard [imageshack.us]
I'm sorry, I'm gonna need a more detailed image. I can't make anything out in that. Were you standing 30 feet away when you took that picture?
As long as you don't get sick with your co-workers, that's fine.

Not a chance.
A soon to be shotty OS?
That's a shoddy way to spell shoddy
The only thing it gives perspective on is inflation. If its actually appreciated (beyond inflation, like a house) that'd be a different story.

It was using a makeshift hand....fashioned from duct tape, toothpicks, and Doritos.
FYI: This would be modded +5 funny if moderation weren't currently broken.
