I think a better career would be setting up a decentralized non-governmental spy agency. Basically a clearing (non)house for whistleblowers or even people who set out to infiltrate various governmental spy agencies around the world and then dump their dirty secrets out into public view.
There would have to be some sort of code of ethics regarding active operations, like notifying the agencies involved ahead of time that a specific operation/s will be compromised. Even then, I could see situations where agencies wouldn't be notified, because they have a nasty tendency for destroying evidence when it exposes crimes they themselves have comitted.
One thing that amazes me repeatedly is the sheer idiocy that gov. intel agencies get away with. Also, before you think I'm U.S. bashing, the most ludicrous example that immediately came to mind is French (Rainbow Warrior bombing and the subsequent manipulation of EU trade policy in order to retrieve operatives from NZ prison). The only thing the French could have done that would have been less 'tough' is if they bombed a pastry factory while wearing cross-dress disguises: "Sacre-bleau, Agente Jon Pierre, tu 'es plus sexi dans cette jupe. Cherche la vache!"
Few people realize that the end of Homo Neanderthalis was caused by a Conservative Caveman policy known as the War on Weird Plants. In fact, the name "Neanderthalis" comes from the phrase "anyone inhale this?", the most common utterance in a culture always looking for new highs.
SciFi is the Gateway Program to home repair shows, which lead on to the men's channel.
Once that happens, its only a short step to going to actual sporting events - one of the final steps in the masculinization of women.
This type of tactic was thwarted once before. STOP THE CRAB PEOPLE!!!!
That's actually a brilliant idea. Except just fire the reviewers (99% of them are annoying anyways) and hire the prisoners who are already in jail.
I would much rather hear what a drug dealer or carjacker has to say about high art film pieces such as Blow or 2 Fast 2 Furious.
All the movies are about crime anyways, and reviewers should always be experts.

6) Japan was seriously dragging their heels, taking weeks to decide, preparing for a defensive land war.
The Japanese leaders (mostly military) were actually trying to gain strategic 'wins' in the Japanese defeat by trying to get a favourable surrender through the Russians. They were essentially trying to negotiate a general surrender through Russian diplomatic channels while they were being attacked by the Americans.
Unbeknownst to them, the Russians were just trying to stall a Japanese surrender so that they could begin a Russian invasian of Japanese held territories. The Russians hoped to gain more spoils of war, and thus pushed the situation into one in which the a-bombs were more likely to be used.
Likewise, the Americans had already begun to distrust Stalin and the (somewhat pre-) Soviet system, and favored using the bomb since it would cement a more extended American dominance in the region. It could be said that the Americans were behaving exactly as the Russians were, but it was definitely a plus for the Japanese to fall under American control rather than Russian in the long run.
Anyways, it's not certain that the Japanese would have ceded to the American unconditional surrender even if the Russians had been explicit about their intentions.
Are you sure is not a skinned XP?
No really it looks just like Windows XP with another skin (which is not the best either) and icon set
Its not a skinned Xp, since xp doesn't do perpixel alpha transparency on the windowborders (and neither can 3rd party products like windowblinds/styler/etc. - though probably in the pipe five by five). Maybe one of the shells can do that, but I doubt they can blur the text in overlapped windows.
Its not even a real icon set yet either, as there are still old icons in the mix - they really need to redo the entire icon set from xp, as it's pretty nauseating + the new ones make the old look even worse when they're side by side.
The best lh inspired vs I've seen just got released: http://www.deviantart.com/view/20415408/ . Though not for everyone, the guy could obviously help MS out on uncluttering their f'ing ui.
Maybe there should be a sunshine clause of some sort in the future, but as a Canadian who rarely downloads music anymore (legit or shady sources), I really don't have a problem with the nominal 'tax' as it presently stands.
Why? Because I know the music/entertainment industry has subsidized the development of the tech industry. New media formats, new software, and most forms of hardware are cheaper now because people have adopted new tech faster + increased scales of economy in the tech sector because copyright infringement provided an extra incentive to buy a computer.
I bought my first computer for p2p - all other computer related work I could do at the comp. labs at school and I wasn't really interested in computers. Really, the only large incentive I had at the time was p2p.
Looks like reviews are mixed right now, but I haven't really seen timing mentioned.
Timing on some of the jokes is just really, really bad. Every part - setup, punchline, etc. - of any specific joke is either grossly mistimed, poorly framed (ie. a guide joke near the beginning of the movie is distracted from by not showing the guide and having non-guide audio interfering), or missing (;P).
I saw it last night, and the timing is the second thing that struck me. The first was the great visuals.
In fact, that's what saved the movie was the visuals. Uh, 'saved' in terms of keeping it an O.K. movie. Miscasting, misvoicing (marvin's voice sucks, even worse than his lines), bad pacing and timing, boring plot devices...
...erk, I kindof felt like I got shot by Marvin at the end of the movie:( .
Even if what they are doing is illegal, unethical, etcetc, I'd like to see them given a special license allowing them to break specific laws just so that I can read the gem letters and emails that they send to lawyers.
The only time I've been to the piratebay is when people post their responses to legal letters, but that alone justifies their presence to me.
company statements like that make me want to start a site called PRassoftheday.com
It really boggles the mind that somebody at a company can release statements like that and actually think that it doesn't make their company look like total fucktards.
Anyways, I wonder what pr speak for 'whiney-sucky-fit' is?
I thought this prelease said that sdk allows conversion to image formats rather than just straight raw extraction, which is what adobe is after.
I also like the fact that companies have acknowledged the fact that I am always shopping at any single moment in my life, and they pursue appropriate efforts to sell to me. It makes me all tingly inside.
And looks for a new word to go beyone that minor league level of exaggeration.
Because if its done by somebody with a BIG NAME, it is always groundbreaking.
It looks like his site isn't hyping it obscenely beyond reason though. More like:
"Here, have this. 'Been wanting to do this for awhile. Have fun with it".
Oh, wait aminute, now I see it - that ain't hyperbole, its the darned truth:
BREAKING NEWS: MUSICIAN ACTS LIKE NORMAL PERSON!!!
Can someone please explain to me why college is important again?
We need a mind factory that can replicate humanoids, while eliminating the efficieny errors in industrial production that are brought about by 'thinking' drones.
The QualrUS (Quotas for Uniform Advanced Lobotomies in Retarded Americans) program is furthering the replication of cheap 'middle-class' drones, thereby ensuring future American workforce quotas.
Do not worry about the term "Sociology", as that is just a proxy term used to filter the right applicants into the pizza delivery production unit classification.

I have talked to alot of CS majors who just came out of undergrad programs from top schools, their salary is an insult.
No. An insult would occur if those CS majors got paid what they expect when the rest of the world obviously doesn't want what they're selling.
Blindly pursuing a (perceived) elite category is joke enough.
Automatically expecting to gain it with a piece of paper is the last laugh.
OMG, Ottawa and Texas in the same sentence...mwfff...i think i'm going to be sick . . .

Its because American partiers go to Canada to smoke good pot, and come back to the US to vomit cheap beer.
