I think they should do an entire HBO vignette series out of the Silmarillion. There's lots of good fodder in there that would distill down nicely to a 3-story episode, or a multi-part story arc or two. Plus they can bring on multiple actors, directors and writers to suit the individual stories.
And can you seriously tell me that you don't want to see an epic battle against a horde of Balrogs? Or an invasion of an armada so vast that the only way to defeat them is to crack the planet?
Here I question why the parent post got modded insightful, when it was funny, prompting a lecture about Slashdot's karma system. My post will, ironically, be modded funny, and in doing so, will start a flame-war about the proper use of "ironic".
On Cheap-Ass Gamer, a video-game deal discussion forum, their "swear replacement" is the Shaq-Fu symbol. IE: I don't like you. Go SHAQ-FU yourself!
I've seen it so often that my mind automatically re-substitutes the swears. Browsing through piles of old Genesis games makes for an interesting experience. "NHL 92, Madden 91, Fuck You, Sonic 1..."
Has anyone tried to quantify this? If you put all your RFID into a contained that has a receiver, it can detect each time the RFID is interrogated. You might not know who is grabbing the data, but at least you'll know how many times a day you're "detected" just by walking around.
I see this as a good thing. Screw the cheating aspect... if I have to go through one more exam with someone gnashing away at gum the whole while, someone's going to end up insane or de-jawed. (And yes I do ask them to stop, and yes I do make a request with the TA/Proctor. Some people are just jerks).
I work at Woolworths (The parent company), and I really wonder if I start blowing my trumpet about this, will:
a) Anyone in management have a clue what this means.
b) Anyone be able to track down someone who can actually DO something about it.
c) (sadly) whether anyone will actually care enough to make a change for the better.
You forgot, given how corporations treat people with knowledge of vulnerabilities
d) You get fired for hacking and criminally charged

I swear I want to tie off one end of a long length of barbed wire, make the developer swallow the other end-- and when it's passed through, give them a full body floss.

Could the "above elevation" spots be useful for reducing the cost of a launch into space? Would that "80m less of gravity" make enough of a difference to be worth building a launch pad on? Hmm, did the calculation (I think) and it seems you'd get a 0.003% reduction in weight. I'm going to guess no?
Speaking of marketing, am I the only one who thinks that, given the recent rash of malware pre-installed on media, calling this device a WORM is a bad idea?

I read the title, and thought it was an obituary with a "clever" play on words. "Unload your dead", shouted the garbage collector.

... if it weren't for those meddling kids.
Two million malware distributors want an early start on the game...
Great, now I want to know if they will. If they do, post the story to a blog and submit it! "Oldest Video Game Preorder Fulfilled"

If all I can do is follow the links, how I will get to the good ending of Inside UFO 54-40?

And now that Dell's looked at the files, they've been read. There goes that theory.

Yes. Yes you can. Privacy settings & permissions

So the correct answer is "That depends. Is your other child a boy?"
If that's the type of person they're going after, they'll quickly discover what it's like to be on the "cheated" side.
Shhh... I'm trying to keep them off the trail of the good stuff.
"Scour"? It's the fucking Internet. How hard can it be? Start here! Let everyone know when you're done, ok?

Yeah, I'm waiting for the "First X Elected to Whatever Office", where X = "First X Elected To Not Be Explicitly Mentioned as X".
