The REAL reason movies suck is the mentality that lead to these POS's...
The Dukes of Hazard
Charlies Angels
Mission Impossible
Starsky and Hutch
The Shaggy Dog
Herbie: Fully Loaded
The Pink Panther
When a Stranger Calls
Do I really need to say any more? Do you see where this is going?
I work in a cubicle right next to a guy with Tourette's...
Sporadically cursing and banging on his keyboard.
While it is mildly entertaining (though somewhat frightening) i would give up a lot for an office with a door. Even if i had to share it, just not with him.
I hope he doesn't read slashdot...
I hope he doesn't own any weapons...
Truckee California is very often the coldest city in the country. Even outnumbing upper Maine, NY etc..
"Just for the record, out of the last 16 years, Truckee, California has made the top five ranking 11 times. And three of those years, 1991, 1993 and 1994, Truckee claimed the dubious honor of coldest spot in the nation, excluding Alaska"

As far as communicating with other species, we really suck. Really suck bad.
"WE" haven't learned to communicate with a single other species on this planet. Those we do communicate learned to communicate with US. Seriously, chimps, gorillas, hell, your average Golden Retriever has learned to communicate with US, not the other way around. Even my dog is better at it than we are. My dog understand some 15 or so words at least. I havent figured out a single damn bark/growl/whine yet. Not with any specificity. So, maybe the aliens have looked at us and decided we aren't capable of communicating with them, and so...don't even want to bother. Maybe we just can't for some biological or developemental reason.

Well, I can only speak for where I work. EVERYTHING that manages, provisions and monitors every DSL line in 13 states is on a Sparc server running Solaris. Thats quite a few boxes.
I also happen to know that many systems run by a local D.O.D./D.O.E laboratory are Solaris on SParc.

You failed....
At least read the blurb under the headline. It says right there...

Now, I KNOW it didn't take you 2 minutes to read that far. As to the main gist of what you are saying though, yeah, I hate that too.

Tell that to DeBeers. They seem to have figured out how to do it. Stockpiles and market cornering. Then just trickle them out as needed.

personally I prefer dogpile. I like the organization of results much better.
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a "dictionary attack" as it applies to spam?
I understand a similair reference when applied to trying to crack a password file but not this.

Worst Link Ever! Could they have made that any more annoying? I couldn't even read the stupid text before jumping to a new add.
